In addition to a highly respectable selection of champagne and champagne cocktails, you can also find beer, wine, and non-alcoholic beverages, including espresso drinks. There is a food menu, but I didn't try anything this time. Excellent service, too. I highly recommend this spot if you have an international flight departing from the F gates.

Esquire Magazine in its recent article on top 10 airport bars included Bubbles Seafood and Wine Bar…read moreon its Top 10 Airport Bar list, so during a layover, I thought it would be worth a try, even at 9am. I was definitely impressed with the bubbly, food, and decor, and the gigantic aquarium (with Corenwyn bottles?) is a nice draw for kids and adults. But the towering wall of bottles behind the counter is equally impressive. Once there, you order at the counter from a menu that includes various shellfish and smoked fish. A good way to start is their champagne and oyster special, where for 17 euros you get a glass of Tattinger plus 3 plump oysters. They also had a wide variety of sandwiches - shrimp, herring, mackeral, eel, etc. I tried the herring and it arrived in a small roll, plus onions and pickles. Delicious! I would definitely recommend Bubbles as a nice upscale option for any layover at Schiphol.

Right. So I just spent €21 for 6 pieces of sushi and apart from the California roll roe which…read moretasted pretty good, there was nothing that I ate that justified the sushi costing so much. The sushi tasted tired and the rice was off. My sushi also kept falling apart. The only plus is that there are charging stations on the high tables (only) so could give my phone some juice (yay for multitasking). I also thought the chopsticks were weird - more Korean than Japanese. I am a fairly proficient chopstick user and somehow, kept dropping the food while using these ones. So then later on, I saw they had a fresh seafood menu and this is what should have taken instead. So next time at Schipol and at this place SKIP THE SUSHI and try something else.

This shared dining experience is very memorable!…read more From picking the fish to the side dishes, we were guided through the process. It's honestly a surprise from the moment we arrived, because there wasn't a set menu and we didn't know what to expect! The food came out quicker than expected. The seasoning of everything was on point. The fish was fresh and cooked to the right tenderness. My husband and I finished everything (like no bite left behind) in 90 minutes! (You can see how big the fish was in the photo!) I got to say on a side note that the seats are quite small and uncomfortable. I should have taken advantage of their coat area. I was out and about for 6 hours and bought a ton of stuff from museums and markets. There was not enough space for me to put my stuff at my seat at all. The final touch was the free ice cream cone at the end. Andddd I should have asked if I could kept the sardine... unfortunately, I haven't been able to find it here in the U.S.

Searching for a restaurant for lunch, we walked by The Seafood Bar, which showcases its range of seafood in a glass case. They had everything we could imagine, so we knew this was the place. I found out later that they have other locations across Amsterdam, but this one is nicely situated in a toney neighborhood, and its clean modern interior also recommends it. Their service is orchestrated, as they work as a team, from seating, drinks order, and so on. They are efficient and attentive. I highly recommend the seafood tower, which is a great shareable, giving you a taste of the unique shellfish found in Atlantic waters.

So came here for dinner and got the shrimp scampi! Tasted just as good as it looked! Lots of shrimp, garlic, other stuff, etc. Excellent.

I recommend the Chef Menu. It was a selection of starters and then I opted for the cold seafood platter. I can't remember all the items, but there were plenty of choices (crab, oysters, 'razor' something (like mussels) prawns and a few other items). There was also a 'surprise' dessert which included at this time a chocolate chip cheesecake and a fruit compote (and ice cream). It was delicious! I would go back next time I'm in town. You should too.

A waiter took our drink orders fairly quickly. ai ordered a lime spritzer which was not good at all (obviously not fresh/ quality ingredients used).

At this point we decided to leave. Honestly, we wouldn't have trusted any food from there at this point. Do not waste your time here.
