Service: The staff are super friendly and helpful. The salads are made to order and ready within minutes. Food: I've eaten many salads and soups and every single one was sooo tasty and healthy.

It's welcoming, warm and cozy with nice touches and comfortable seating. Price: The prices are affordable and worth every penny. Stop what you're doing and grab a healthy meal at Venkel!

It is a salad with of course lentils, but also goats cheese and nuts and it tastes delicious! I thought all the salads on the menu looked really good so I really want to come back soon. You can also create your own salad and choose all the ingredients. I also a had juice; apple/pear/mint. Delicious! Well it should be because its pretty damn expensive. 5 euros, and not even a big glass.. But well, it was good. There is also free water which is nice. The interior was beautiful and cozy. It really felt good and I felt very relaxed. I really like Venkel! I thought SLA was the best but now I like Venkel even more. The salads just taste amazing. LOVE LOVE LOVE. Just try it soon!

But it made me feel right at home in the best way. The veggies were well seasoned, the dressing was delicious and the tofu especially was heavenly, flavorful and textured to perfection with panko. Plus, their willingness to hold ingredients and replace them with others is super appreciated. The servers were helpful, careful in their prep, and super amenable to the changes I requested. I only dock a star for the ratios. Spinach and cucumber overwhelmed some of the more desirable fixings but it was still highly enjoyable.

If you're craving genuine, heartwarming Dutch comfort food near Leidseplein, The Pantry is the real…read moredeal. The space is quaint, cozy, and feels like stepping straight into a classic Dutch living room. If it's your first time or you just want a bit of everything, the stamppot combination plate is unbeatable. Getting to sample all three traditional mashes--hutspot, boerenkool, and zuurkool--paired with a juicy smoked sausage or traditional Dutch meatball is pure comfort on a plate. The Erwtensoep (Dutch pea soup) served with rye bread and smoked bacon is rich, thick, and incredible on a cool afternoon. Start off with the bitterballen or Dutch shrimp croquettes to share while you wait. Service is super friendly, welcoming, and effortlessly switches between languages without missing a beat. Because the dining room is small and intimate, it fills up remarkably fast--booking a table online in advance is essential, especially if you're aiming for dinner. A total gem for proper, unpretentious Dutch cuisine!

Booked a table for two at The Pantry. Completely dissatisfied with the dining experience. We…read morearrived five minutes before our reservation time. We felt like if we had been just a minute late, our table would have been given to someone else. Head Server rushed us to a table. The tables were packed like sardines in a can...barely enough room to sit down. Head server reminded us that we have only an hour and a half time slot for dinner. We then waited 20 minutes before another server took our orders, appetizer took another 20 minutes to be served. We didn't get our main dishes until an hour into our dining time slot. Because The Pantry crowds diners so tightly together, the place is extremely loud...so loud that I felt I like I was part of the adjoining tables' conversations. We could not hear eachother. It was impossible to hold a conversation. It was school cafeteria loud. We were unable to talk about the day and enjoy our meals...the noise was too distracting. Our food was nothing special. It tasted just ok. We expected it to taste better. The sauerkraut tasted pickled...like out of a jar. The red cabbage was overly sweet. The stew had only four chunks of beef. Overall, the food didn't taste fresh made. My wife could have cooked a better dinner at home. When visiting a new country, one expects better food (quality and taste) for 60 Euro. Not sure why other patrons line up to eat here. We will not return to The Pantry.

I decided on the falafel nowl & tzaziki (Organic falafel, grilled bell pepper, spicy roasted cauliflower, carrot, spinach, black olive and mint. With homemade tzaziki. Meal base couscous). The salad wasn't groundbreaking but it tasted fresh and was a great healthy meal after a day of perusing Amsterdam. The space was small, but the decor stylish and welcoming. There was also a small upstairs area where you could sit as well. If you're nearby and looking for some healthy grub, this definitely isn't a bad choice!

We dropped off our little frame with our mothers in it. The server originally asked us to place it wherever we see fit, but the owner (she has the manager vibe) came over and helped us picked an even better spot! Service was what I thought was slow, but then we learned that Dutch people are very customer-focused, so we had to initiate an eye contact and signal to them that we are ready to close our check. I also found out that tipping is not required. Who would have thought? Oh, and also water is not free. Lastly, be sure to make a reservation because this place very packed for the duration of our meal and some people got turned away.

We didn't have a reservation but were able to walk right in around 5:30 PM, with only a couple of tables occupied at the time. It filled up quickly as our dinner went on, so walking in earlier definitely helped. We ordered steaks and lobster, and also noticed the steak salad going by, which looked fantastic. Everything we had was cooked well and tasted great. The service was friendly and attentive without being pushy, and the drinks were nicely made. The restaurant is well-decorated with a cozy, modern feel. The only minor drawback is the restrooms--they're a bit tricky to access, but honestly that's pretty normal for Amsterdam's older buildings. All in all, I'd definitely return. Good food, great service, and a convenient location make Black & Blue a solid choice for dinner in the area.
