We were able to get seated right on the window area. We chose menu 5, which was just enough for two people. Everything was delicious! Their pea soup is out of this world. Don't know why as it is a simple dish but wow! I also love their herring. It was so delicious that I wanted seconds. It paired so well with their onions and mustard. And their bitterballen was just enough bite. Creamy and crispy! We also got a combination of the hutspot. They were all delicious! Although for me the meatball was just a tad bit salty but it is probably just me! Everything else was spot on. I love their dessert at the end. It was a great way to end the night. Our server and their staff were all amazing! Very friendly and welcoming. Yes it is a tourist spot but totally worth it.

We did not have one but they were happy to seat the 2 of us and invited us to switch tables once another couple left (they were checking out). Small space, can accommodate groups of 2-4, cozy atmosphere, lots of the traditional blue and white ceramics on the wall (dishes and tiles). Traditional Dutch cuisine: we ordered the Boerenkoolstamppot with smoked sausage and Zuurkoolstamppot with smoked sausage and a slice of apple pie to share for dessert. The food arrived piping hot in about 20 minutes. It was sooo delicious--the tasty juicy sausage pairs perfectly the mashed potatoes with either sauerkraut or kale. The apple pie was also tasty--larger chunks of apple and more spices less sugar than American apple pie from what I can tell. Perfect with whipped cream. A must visit if you're in Amsterdam and want to try traditional fare. Highly recommended!

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!

Raised with roots in Indonesia, a cuisine more common in The Netherlands than other European nations, guests visiting Daalder are offered a choice of Tasting Menus versus a la carte courses, though the later also includes a few complimentary bites such as "Nigiri" of bruleed Salmon atop a delicate Meringue. Also serving "Satay" shaped like a Peanut and Bao topped by Thai Shrimp, plus a generous portion of Fried Chicken with Caviar, proper Appetizers comprise Octopus with pearls of Pasta, Grapefruit and Mushrooms or Langoustines in a vibrant Bisque.

Awarded one Michelin star, though priced akin to Two-starred spots like Spectrum, Desserts find "Sweet Corn" a little forced though the two-plate Blueberry soufflé is exemplary, as are Daalder's celebrated Stroopwafel Ice Cream Sandwiches.

I went with the favorites menu and each dish was beautifully plated. The space itself is quite large with lots of tables spaced apart so it wasn't crowded. I'm not sure I liked the different colored lights - seemed a little tacky lol but the space was nice. The flavors were for the most part very good but none of the dishes were outstanding imo. The oyster was delicious and very creamy. The butter was excellent. The desserts were a bit lacking.

The skin was perfectly crispy and the meat underneath was tender, juicy, and full of flavor. Every bite melted in my mouth and tasted rich without feeling heavy. The dish came with fries that paired really well with the duck. The textures worked together and nothing felt overdone. You can tell the kitchen knows exactly what they are doing. The duck was cooked with care and seasoned just right, which made the whole plate feel special. Service was great and the staff clearly knew the menu well. They were friendly and helpful without hovering. If you are in Amsterdam, this duck confit alone is worth the visit.

They offer à la carte options as well as three- and four-course prix fixe menus. I chose the three-course meal, and my husband did the four-course; neither of us was disappointed. We had a newer server who was on his first night, but the manager and other staff supported him seamlessly, and he did an incredible job. You can truly see how passionate and attentive everyone is here. Jeffrey, the server my family and I had last year, was still there and even came over to personally say hello, which meant so much to us. The food and service are absolutely exceptional. Reservations are a must, but it is more than worth it. This is hands down the best restaurant I've been to in Amsterdam, and I highly recommend it.

Plenty of typical Dutch snacks - bitterbollen, croquettes, generous portions of nuts and olives. Plentiful wine and beer selections, as well as hard liquor. This is a neighborhood place where people come in and have drinks, sometimes for hours, so they don't rush you. My husband and I learned (living here for a few months) that if you want your food quickly in The Netherlands, you need to order quickly, They tend to take a lot longer for a full meal than we do. They linger over and enjoy their food and drinks. So if service seems slow, it isn't. It's RELAXED. They are also accommodating. When our children and grandchildren came to visit us, they accommodated all ages, from 1-71. I can't say enough about the kindness and good humor of the staff.

Depending on what time a day and what door you enter. If you don't enter you can enjoy your lunch or borrel outside (the sun only arrives at noon). There's plenty of tables, with seats for 40+ people. I like the small, cozy café. It's light and they have a good coffee choice. I love the nice, modern restaurant. The daily pasta specials are so lekker, they must be cooked by an Italian chef with a lot of amore. Last but not least there's the cool bar with the living room in the back and the amazing mural illustrated by Rafaella Wang. This piece of art is a visual delight. The bar is always packed and I know why. Pure gezelligheid.

Some of the dishes a la carte are of great quality. My friends enjoyed a nice tuna carpacio as starter and seabass perfectly cooked with veggies. I managed to have few nice bites from their plates :)I have to say I was also impressed by their gratin dauphinois. Though a classic, this is really not such an easy French dish to prepare. Potatoes were thinly sliced, perfectly cooked with light and soft cream. - : Unfortunately for me I was in a foody mood and decided to try their "more elaborated dishes" a la carte. "Soupe de poisson a la Marseillaise" is a French cuisine classic. In their version of this dish, the fish and the shrimp did bring a nice note, but the quality was average. Way too liquid, no fine texture, the rouille sauce was like a basic mayonnaise... I am always a bit disappointed when those classics are not well executed :( Then I tried the "stuffed" coeur d'artichaud (artichoke). The artichoke was way too big and it felt like they tried to put as many things as possible in the filling (big pieces of mushrooms, other vegetables, cheese....). I was really expecting something lighter, fine and subtle. It's a great creative idea... too bad it did not deliver on my expectations. Luckily the sweet notes at the end were very nice. Try the meringue or the delicat au chocolate (cake). Though a bit filling the flavors are intense and I have had my great dose of chocolate for the week. In few words, a friendly table with a nice menu du jour. I would have given another star, if the service was a bit faster. We had to wait a lot to get the menus (and ended up looking at their website with our iphones) as well as inbetween dishes.
