When you are in the Netherlands you need to eat fish, they have all kinds of sorts you will not find in the US, so you don't want to miss out. The portions are generous, one portion of kibbeling feeds 2 easily. I started of with the Simonis soup a small bowl with an amazingly tasty and rich seafood soup. The service is fast , and the experience is priceless. Enjoy when you are in Scheveningen.

The portion here are huge! We got the kibbeling, lekkerbekje (i.e. Dutch verison of fish and…read morechips), and two side order of fries. Honestly, we should have gotten one order of fries to share since both fried fish entries were already big portions. There's also a section where you can get a bunch of dipping sauces for your fried fish. From the two fried fishes, I enjoyed eating the kibbeling more than the lekkerbekje.

The food was simple but it was some of the best seafood we had eaten in a long time. I can recommend the restaurant without reservation. One caveat: the pace is leisurely, so allow time. The staff is helpful, friendly, and speaks English. Special mention for the sea bass dish, which was especially good. With a shared bottle of nice Chardonnay, the meal cost around 33 Euros per person.

Our first dinner in Amsterdam that came recommended by our hotel host…read more The restaurant is off the beaten path (e.g., away from the tourists). It's a 26 seats restaurant. The decor is bright and light. The food is divine. The service is great. We ordered the mussels in white wine for appetizers. The mussels came with two house made mayos One with ketchup and the other with mustard. Delicious. The flavor were light wth a hint of scallions and mustard when eating with the mustard mayo. Hubby ordered the sea bass for dinner and I ordered the cod. The sea bass was a whole fish, tender, juicy, and seasoned just right with salt and pepper. The cod had a crispy skin and when eaten with the mustard sauce and spinach had a great taste. For desert, we ordered the chocolate cake. The cake was presented beautifully wth blueberries and raspberries. The cake was dense and made with dark chocolate. It was not bitter nor sweet. Perfect. A must try in Amsterdam.

I did not expect Amsterdam is going to be the best seafood restaurant I found . I went to this seafood restaurant during Covid. I saw there was a huge seafood platter I wanted to order but it was from 2 people. So I didn't order it. This time, I went to the restaurant without a making reservation and I walked in then the waiter and the waitress were so nice to let me dine in. "Be aware that things changed after Covid. Please make a reservation if you are going after 8 PM. " The inside restaurant was so beautiful I sat down and see all these beautiful matching tablecloth dishes napkins everything was so perfect. There was a menu for fresh oysters. They were from 5-6 euros each so I did not order it. ( ordering the seafood platter will includes oysters great deals!) I had a glass of white beer which was served in a matching glass. The chef brought the lobster shooter to start and corn moose with shrimp on the bottom. It was very fancy French style. I had Bouillabaisse it was unbelievable. I tasted lobster bisque and fish pencil clams other seafood were inside. I was getting full already then my main course came which was that gigantic seafood platter. I lost my word!!! It was the best of the far best. Service was wonderful everybody speaks English. I really enjoyed coming here again. I didn't expect I will find the best seafood restaurant in Holland.

The meat appetizer came with ham whereas the fish appetizer came with salmon, halibut, and cod! For the entree, the meat was pork and the fish was cod. The dessert was the worse. They definitely went cheap on this. The sorbet was tasty but the cake sucked. Is that even considered a cake? It was so dry and hard. Besides the texture, the taste was terrible. None of us wanted to finish it. We loved the tiny free bread. The best was the brown one - of course. It becomes a rock when it gets cold though. My Couchsurfing friend joined us super late but the staff decided to synchronize our meals together - our entrees were all served at the same time. I couldn't help but to notice that my CS friend had a story when he received his dish but we didn't. His server was quite hilarious with the dish descriptions. We ordered wine and when we received the wrong type, the waiter tossed it! Such a waste.. Overall, if the dessert was better the meal would have been perfect. It would have been even better if we all had different desserts so we could all share our desserts. Is it considered a surprise if we all had the same desserts? FYI: you have to pay for water. The bottle will be on the table. You can request for cold water.

There was no char as listed, seemed like peeled strips of raw carrot and pumpkin on top of labneh (yogurt), sunflower seeds and sliced red chilies. Grilled Octopus - The octopus was cooked nicely, my favorite dish Rolled Shrimp Cabbage - Looks unassuming with mild delicate flavors but I kept wanting more after each bite. Sea Bream Filet - Small portion but tasty dish Israeli Salad - Fresh, tasty, healthy Polenta Fries w/Tahini Dip - Must order at all costs Dessert: Milfey Malabi - Puff pastry with malabi cream (rose water based), raspberry jam, pistachios.

My partner loved their "mint tulip. The food was so healthy, flavorful. Reservations are a must as the place was totally packed on a week day.

On our…read morefirst morning in the city, our walking tour guide also recommended it saying if there was one "Dutch" food to try, herring was it! Not only that, he said it was the time of year for fresh, great tasting herring. So after building up an appetite during our tour, we walked straight to Rob Wigboldus Vishandel. At the counter, I asked for a menu but the friendly older gentleman (possibly the owner) replied saying we probably wanted the herring sandwich, so we went with his suggestion. It's a very small place - we were lucky to grab a table while we waited. It didn't take long though, the sandwiches are very simply made: fresh herring, chopped onions, and pickles. That's it. I'm not going to lie, I was not expecting to really like this fishy sandwich, but when in Rome ... And guess what? It was delicious! Herring is naturally oily and mild-tasting! It was very inexpensive, too! I wish we had more time to go back while we were in town.
