    We came for happy hour on a week night. It was a short, easy, and free ferry right from Amsterdam Central. Two of us shared an order of the Sourdough bread with aioli & powdered smoked paprika and an order of the Grilled flatbread with curd, za'atar, pomegranate, red onion, parsley & olive oil. Both were delicious, but I especially like the aioli that came with the sourdough bread! I had a Cube Libre and the Caipirovska. The cocktail selection was a little odd, but they tasted good. Overall, this is a great place to sit outside near the water and enjoy good food and drinks!

    Amazing fresh fish!

    Breathtaking oceanside views with incredibly fresh seafood dishes to match. Beautiful medley of families, couples and friends enjoying the restaurant. Unique inside seating with couches, a balcony area and wine options. Amazing spot.

    I repeated this place recently and I'm delighted that the restaurant has only improved in the past few years. It's a lovely, hip restaurant built from shipping containers that offers wonderful options for vegetarians and meat eaters alike. You can take a free ferry from Central Station to NDSM to reach the cool space. You can sit outside for drinks or dine inside but reservations are recommended. Enjoy!

    In the "upcoming" party area of the city.... Noord. Great place. Caved out of shipping containers with the river front wall made of a huge window on the Eye... and the city skyline. Great spot Very young crowd... service folks included. A mix between restaurant and music/ dance place. Come for a nice dinner with a very short menu... or drinks. My dinner was good.. even if service was very slow... kitchen closes at 22:00. Great starter... the Coriander Falafel well presented and very tasty. Then I went for a classic twist of the Dutch/German worst... sausage. Very very nice. Music was not too loud even if the place gets very noisy. Two level seatings.. with a large sofa to lunge on the side. Over all a great place... and in summer / not rainy day there is a great terrace with access to the Noord city beach... very very nice

    This is a very neat place with old rail containers that is seated by a man made beach. It's one of the hot spots to hang out in Amsterdam. You have to take the ferry to get here but we'll worth the visit. I ate the mackerel sandwich, and it fresh as well as tasty! The slight salt and sweetness of the dressing made this one of the best sandwiches I've eaten in a long time. I would recommend this if you're craving fish! Come on over and enjoy!

    A fun time off the beaten path. It starts with a free ferry ride from Centraal Station and a short walk to the water edge when you get off the ferry. The food is decent, but you go for the waterside view and fun ambiance. The tables are mostly picnic benches outside and there is an assortment of other furniture. The staff is friendly.

    What a great spot. Coming from Florida I loved it! On the water but in an industrial space with a little beach area to hang out after dinner. The food was delicious. We pre-ordered for a birthday so I'm not sure if these items are on the regular menu.

    The location of this restaurant is great. Such a unique concept and a must-see. I arrived around 8pm and the place was PACKED. It was difficult to find a table, but we did. We had difficulty flagging down an employee to order. I got the eggplant and artichoke salad. It was good but had WAY too much oil on it. My friend got the lamb and said it was mediocre. He also ordered the tompouce. I had a bite and it was absolutely delicious. The cream was the best I've ever had! The prices are fairly expensive for the amount you get, but it is more of an experience. I would return solely for the tompouce!

    Do not - I repeat - do not come here thirsty or hungry. And do not come here if you're in a rush. Do order the mackerel sandwich. Mmmmm. The aubergine was also quite good. If the sun is out, do wear lots of sunblock. You will get LOTS of sun. And also if the sun is out, do bring your beach gear and lay out on the "beach". This is a fantastic venue for wasting a sunny day away. Worth the mini trek North.

    This is one of the coolest places to go in Amsterdam. It's very chill and has a great view. Good beer, great burgers and fries, a beach where you can enjoy the sun with your kids and a lot of tables to sit outside that you can enjoy the sun while eating your burger and drinking your beer. You may need to take the ferry and walk a little bit to get here but it's definitely worth the effort! you have to go here before you leave amsterdam.

    Nice restaurant/bar next to the IJ lake north west of Central station. Good for hot summer days. To get there is already fun: take the free pont from central station to NDSM for 20 minutes and then walk approx 5 min along the shore of the IJ back direction of the station....and you are there. Food was ok. We had the weekmenu, a curry, a cheeseplatter and rhubarb crumble. Personally I felt the curry was a bit blend and needed a bit more spices, but the cheeseplatter made up for this. The wines were good. View is good, with the IJ lake with all boats passing by during dinner. We did not get bored. Service is excellent. Plan to return again in future, with flipflops, sunnies and sunscreen.

    Pllek burger.

    This place is so cool. A restaurant in shipping container with a patio and river-front? Yes! It's a nice open space inside without feeling too open and empty. It's actually quite cozy! Love the indoor fireplace which kept everything nice and toasty on a cold day. And one day I will have to try the unusual table with the elevated seats areas that looks more like a lounge. I could see myself hang out there all day! Service was excellent. The ladies were so pleasant. I asked for tap water to start and they brought a bottle for us. And they didn't even bother us knowing we just had a coffee and bottle of water between us. Remember that service in Amsterdam is such that you have to let them know when you want something else. They aren't necessarily being rude, they just want you to enjoy your time with who you are with! Now to the burger. I had high expectations for some reason. It was fine, but it wasn't the best I've had in Amsterdam. But there's a lot of spots that specialize in burgers, so I don't hold it against them. Keep in mind that if you order a burger, it doesn't come with anything on the side. Can't wait to go back and try something else!

    You come here for the beers and the view. But not for the food. So get a few bites, a lot of beer and kick back and people watch

    As our new best friend and the most hospitable bartender in Amsterdam said to me, Yelp is for the…read moreAmericans - which means unfortunately he's not going to hear me brag about how great his bar is. So this one's for you, American traveler! If you're in Amsterdam, do yourself a huge favor and visit Vesper - especially if you're a real fan of real gin, or genever, or jenever. Or whatever! The menu is delicious. I visited Vesper twice during my trip to Amsterdam. Each night, a very different experience. Both were met with a hospitable warm welcome, a cozy atmosphere, and fine craft cocktails where gin is supreme. Food: (drinks!) On my 1st visit, I enjoyed Vesper's Negroni. Smooth. Easy to drink more than one. While the small space was standing room only when we arrived, once a seat cleared up they brought us a small bowl of bar snacks, common at respectable craft bars in Amsterdam. During the second visit, it started off with us saying, "just one drink" and ended up with us shutting the place down with the bartenders over patron shots. It started off gently with their signature, Vesper - sweet and refreshing, and espresso martini - bold. Then I opened my mouth and we were there until until 2 trying whatever bartender Airto recommended, and you're in good hands when the bartender takes over! Service: On both occasions the bartender's made us feel at home with Joop greeting us at the door with a warm welcome as if we met before and we just stepped into his home. He cares about his customers as much as his neighbors in his quaint, quiet neighborhood. On the second night, our drinks were in the safe hands of Airto. He took great care of us, explaining each drink he crafted. Expanding our knowledge and taste of gin with not one, but two variations of jenever, and old style genever. Ambiance: You never know what you're going to get when you visit Vesper-hospitality and fine cocktails aside. Sure it's cute and quaint with a surprise basement in the floor. I implore you to make nice with your bartenders, explore off menu, be ready to stand, stay awhile to soak up the space, good music, and smooth drinks. I cannot wait for the next opportunity to return and enjoy more of Vesper. Thank you for the generous hospitality and warm welcome by the Vesper staff on the Friday & Saturday of November 11, 2023 of this last visit.

    What a lovely place. It was crowded when we arrived but one of the staff members greeted us quickly…read more(and was very friendly) and we were able to take our drinks outside, which was great. The drinks were fantastic - unique and tasty, which I'm always looking for. I especially loved the Fin Fizz. Will definitely come back next time I'm in the city.

Basically was like um yea it just has spices in it. Spices may not be gluten free and could be of concern for a celiac. I asked him if any drinks were gluten free and he said all but 2. I wasn't confident that the drinks would be made separately from the non- gluten drinks so I opted not to get one. My friend got the bees knees and said it was really tasty. The server did come back and switch my water to regular at the end but he should have been upfront with what he gave to prevent any exposure to peoples allergies.
