Inside of the Restaurant
Michael C.

Really cute and quaint little tapas and paella restaurant right in the infamous Red Light District. Being from California, I know a thing about solid tapas. Super attentive service and friendly staff. Got the 1. pulpo (appetizer, which was soft tender and seasoned to salty, subtle paprika perfection) - 4 stars! 2. paella de carne (with chorizo, chicken breast and rabbit) - amazingly tender chunks of rabbit, stewed to immacute tenderness and still with the slight chew texture and wonderful flavor reminiscent of alligator tail or frog legs, but with little bit of skin. Not at all Gamey, but richly flavorful. 3. half liter of sangria - 4 stars Would definitely come back for the Pulpo and highly recommend the Parlla dr Carne. Bravo. Tan Delicioso!!!

Mushrooms

I was craving some sangria while in amsterdam while waiting to meet up with a friend later that night. So I decided to go on Yelp and find the nearest place. I decided to sit at the bar and order some tapas. Because I was by myself I didnt order that much, sticking to the mushrooms and the calamari. And they did not disappoint!! They were sooo good I was tempted to order another plate of mushrooms, but I overheard them tell someone else that they were out :( The Sangria was pretty good so I ended up ordering an extra glass. They also give you some bread with aioli sauce that was really good and free! The staff was really nice and was willing to charge my cell phone, which was great since it was low on battery. Overall, I would probably go out of my way to come back here next time im in amsterdam. Oh and the prices were very reasonable!!

Combination (everything) paella

Stopped in here while strolling around Amsterdam because of the rain, I wanted something warm and comforting. You first walk into their bar area, but right around the corner is their main seating area. Their specialty is the paella, which you can order in a bigger portion to be shared with the table (in my case, with my husband). Ordered their paella with everything (chicken, shrimp, etc) and a champagne sangria. Everything was delicious. They accepted debit card. Waiter was friendly and helpful. A great place to stop by for lunch or dinner!

In the heart of Amsterdam, is located the restaurant La paella. Very friendly atmosphere that makes you feel at home. Totally Spanish has a menu and a very affordable price.

Paella Especial. This was great and a single order was heaping - plenty for two to share

Super friendly staff. Great food. We ordered a dish of olives, some Spanish chorizo, and the paella especial, some beer, sparkling water and Coke light. About $50 out the door. That's a great deal for what you are getting.

The food was good and enjoyable. It was a pleasant place to stop for dinner. The choice was tender as described by the waitress. I would recommend this place definitely.

A great little and AUTHENTIC tapas bar. Stumbled into this place after a business meeting and jumping off the tram at Central. It's a quick walk. Servers and staff are quite warm. The gazpacho is delightful. A nice timeout from your day.

It's 9:20 pm on a Thursday. The restaurant isn't exactly empty but it's obviously not full…read more *One* single brown guy walks in and asks to be seated and is told that they are no longer seating people. 'Perhaps they close at 10' he thinks and walks out. On a whim he checks the restaurant times. Apparently the place is open till 11:30. He walks back in and asks why, if the restaurant is open till 11:30 that he can't be seated at 9:20 and he is told that they are "still trying to catch up" What exactly am I, the brown guy in question, supposed to think? You want me to be believe that you won't seat anyone for 2 hours and 10 minutes but keep the place open? Or the much more obvious explanation...

Upon arrival we were afraid to walk into a tourist trap, being so close to the center. But we were…read moresurprised in the nice kind of way! The tapas on the menu are typical Spanish, finding the ones that you would see in any average Spanish bar. Tia Rosa just made and presented them in a way that was not average. Both the presentation, with side salads, herbs and sauces made the tapas really nice and tasty. Besides that the service and the location are of the best you can get. Being situated on one of the nicest canals in Amsterdam centre, with the bridges lighted and barely any cars passing by, makes your diner even more special. The waiters very kind and accommodating. Overall a good experience and a good place to eat tapas. Note: even a Spaniard agrees with this!

My friend highly recommended this location so I had to give it a try…read more We ordered the calamari and smoked ham appetizer and also the fish and meat paella. Appetizers came first and the first thing that surprised me was that the calamari came in one huge piece. I loved the olive oil and pesto sauce that coated the calamari and it tasted fresh with just the right amount of chewiness, not too rubbery. I'd highly recommend this dish. The smoked ham appetizer was really just a slightly thicker version of prosciutto that still tasted quite good. Ham was extremely flaky and so different compared to American processed ham. The main dish was the fish and meat paella. There is all sorts of seafood in the paella, calamari, clams, mussels, shrimp, crawfish, and the meat is mostly just chicken. The rice is slightly tough, but didn't stick to one another. Seafood all tasted fresh and thankfully nothing was overcooked. The paella was quite large and extremely filling for 2. I'd caution ordering any other main dishes along with the paella.

Vamos a ver is an unpretentious, authentic Spanish food place. They don't only serve tapas but also…read morefull meals. The portions are generous but fear not, the food is good! I happily enjoyed the slightly toasted bread with the yummy home-made allioli that brought back memories of Spain. That's how an aioli's supposed to taste, it was certainly the best I had so far in Amsterdam. And also the main, Solomillo a la plancha, was fully to my taste, I really enjoyed these 2 tender, juicy steaks. The staff is genuinely friendly. Not the typical Spanish exuberant-vocal friendly but definitely makes you feel welcome and want to come back.

The food was good but I found nothing special in any of the services at this restaurant. We had a…read morereservation made by request through the hotel concierge. Upon arrival, we didn't feel welcomed even checking in with a reservation. We asked for outside seating but they said they reserved us inside seating either at the bar or at the bar shelf by the window at the entrance door. Immediately, my husband and I felt that this was very much a locals place and they very much don't want tourists. (I get it, coined flipped, I live in South Florida) We decided to take the 2 bar seats on the quiet side of the bar. It gave us a view to the kitchen, which was the best part of the meal. I could see the absolute passion from the guys in the kitchen cooking and plating their love for food. Too bad the rest of the service from the bar was less than stellar. I probably wouldn't come back but I would recommend anyone local to check it out for the food above all. The clams had a wonderful broth that I wish there was a basket of bread to soak up the juice left over from the chorizo crumbles and meaty little clams. The skewers of roasted chicken thighs were crispy and well seasoned on the outside while being tender and juicy on the inside. So simply yet so complex. Just wish the service was more complex, or at least friendly.

This place was at the end of my friends street and every time we biked back home, it was ALWAYS…read morebusy. My second night in town we stopped by for a glass of bubbles. The place was packed with fun and happy people. Everyone was really nice and the sparking wine was great! The food smelled amazing.
