    old-fashioned Dutch wall paper
    Jack L.

    Wonderful local restaurant that features fresh, local ingredients. No problem ordering in English. Bread was served with a spread comprised of pork belly fat and apple compote. Definitely different and surprisingly good. The dishes were light and delicious. I was surprised to find white asparagus as a choice for main dish and am glad I ordered it. The old-fashioned Dutch wallpaper was a nice touch. I haven't seen these in 30 years! Interesting that a bottle of beer (3.5 euros) costs less than a bottle of sparkling water (5 euros). Maybe this is only interesting to this Americano. Pictures coming....

    Yum! Came here while on holiday in Europe after reading a brief description in my guide book. My companion made reservations online in the morning for dinner. We ended up having to walk quite a bit after getting off the tram but that was only because we walked passed the cross street by accident! It was a bit rainy, which made the commute a little difficult, and it ended up making us about half an hour late for our reservation. However, the restaurant wasn't full when we got there so we were able to be seated right away - great service! I got the anglerfish and this rose wine (ended up choosing one of the cheapest wines I could find) but it was SO GOOD! The fish was cooked perfectly and not fishy tasting at all but really fresh and ocean-y (if that makes sense). My companion ordered pork medallions which came with something called 'hot lightning' which was potatoes and apples and spices mashed together - really good. It's pretty fancy and expensive, but I didn't feel shy or embarrassed about being a tourist. Ambiance is really romantic and sweet and the wait staff is so friendly and helpful.

    Food, service and price were all good. I had a 3 course set and each dish was good. The food is 'calorie dense' so bring an appetite as it was a heavy meal. If you're in the mood for traditional Dutch cooking, slightly modernized, I think you'll enjoy this place. The ingredients are high quality and you can taste it. *pork fat spread for bread. I ate this in Poland last month and the Dutch version is way better. I also thought the white asparagus were delicious and I now understand why these are so popular in this part of the world. Yum.

    I got mixed feelings about this Place. We shared the large starter platter and added the sandwiches with fois gras and the black pudding so we got small samplers of all the appetizers. Some like the soup and the sugarbread with fois gras was great while some of the fish treats really didnt taste much at all. My main was supposed to be "Chicken filé with saffron sauce and mashed potatoes". Since i dont like my food on a bone i was quite disappointed when the chicken was on the leg wich was not like described on the menu. The sauce was "ok" and the mash was really good. My girlfriend had the veal filé with a strange potatoe cake filled with with sausage from the netherlands and herbs. There really was more sausage then potatoe in that sidedish and was more like a dish on its own then working good with the filé. The steak and red wine sauce was fine though. With one bottle of wine, 2 beers and a shared dessert the check was 145 € exkl tip and i dont think it was worth it. With food thats only ok and the high prices i cant give Greetje more then 3 stars.

    An amazing restaurant with typical Dutch meals with gourmet quality! Fantastic place and with good weather you can eat outside. Make sure to reserve a table.

    I didn't have dinner here though I did have the opportunity to browse the menu. It's primarily a Dutch menu but creative and well presented with a nice variety of meats and fish. It's also a cozy little restaurant with an elegant yet comfortable decor. The service was warm and hospitable. Though I only had a drink here while awaiting friends to go to another place the staff made me feel welcome and offered me the house Frisen bread which I highly recommend. It was a dark sugary bread that was served with two spreads that were also lekker. I'll definitely be going back for dinner sometime. The atmosphere, the menu and the service were all worth five stars in my opinion.

    Great food and service. I had to walk a little bit away from central Amsterdam to get decent food and this place was worth the walk. You won't find decent restaurants where everything is at.

Located on the Rozengracht, it's super central and easy to get to from just about anywhere in the Jordaan or the Center. * The Atmosphere: It's dark, moody, and has a very cool "late-night" energy. Even if you aren't sure what it is from the street, the vibe inside is unmistakable. * The Food: If you like meat, this is your spot. The burgers are massive and juicy, and the ribs literally fall off the bone. * The Vibe: It's a bit louder and more energetic than a standard restaurant, making it perfect for a night out with a group or a casual date with great cocktails. It gets incredibly busy, so even though it feels like a "hidden" spot from the outside, you'll definitely want to book a table ahead of time. Overall: A total neighborhood win. Don't make the mistake of walking past it for as long as I did!

We entered and seated ourselves, and within 5 minutes, a staff person greeted us, brought us a flask of tap water (tastes great and clean) and two glasses, and gave us menus. We ordered a short rib sandwich for him and a chicken Caesar sandwich for me. These come à la carte but you can add sides if you want. I was glad we didn't because the portion was generous. One thing I've noticed here is that the bread is always high quality--our sandwiches came in baguettes about 8 inches long --I had to cut mine in half to eat it lol. Both were savory and flavorful and satisfying. The meat was tender and well seasoned. We savored every bite! They both had crispy bacon in them as well. Very filling! Just what we needed to energize us after our morning at Keukenhof!

Welcome to Haven Van Texel. Right at the north end of the red light district. A colleague of mine said she goes here for traditional Dutch cuisine, so let's get to the food shall we. Of course we're going to snag an order of the Croquettes. Nice bite size potato mash balls with meat in it. These ones are nice and neat with a perfect delicate crunch. Great balance of potato to meat ratio. 8.2/10 For my main event, the Stamppot. This is a rotating dish that's usually different every time. Whatever protein that's available in the market with seasonal vegetables in the mash. It's like a lovely surprise every time I visit. Today we have pork. Perfectly seasoned, the meat was fall off the bone and the mash was a delightful side. 8.7/10 The place is really nice, the tables outside do go fast during busy hours.
