    The gnocchi was amazing
    David I.

    The gnocchi was amazing probably one of the best I've had in years, the mix of beetroot, cheese, nuts and salad was perfect. Sadly I didn't get the chance to try the desserts that looked amazing but will consider making a trip back another day. Worth a visit for sure as prices are quite reasonable considering the location and quality of food. Everyone else really enjoyed their meals also.

    Fine dining, we had all the specials the day we went. The venue is really nice as well. Great experience

    Iberico procureur

    The location is a bit hidden for non-insiders of Amsterdam, but worth taking a detour for. This trendy restaurant on the bank of the Amstel river close to Amstel station has a beautiful view over the river and serves high quality food. It is very spacious and light due to the large windows on both floors. It has a terrace at the waterfront and the building itself has a very modern design. The service is friendly and professional. I enjoyed a good meal with a group of colleagues, starting with a warm Iberico procureur which was not the regular starter. Then I continued with a salmon filet accompanied by a fine selection of vegetables and quinoa with an expressive dressing. The diner was rounded off by a sublime cheesecake desert served in a bowl, a piece of art in itself. I would definitely recommend this place for a business diner or lunch, but also very suitable if you want to impress your loved one with a nice dinner in a trendy place.

    Post dinner dessert - recommended by several friends. We arrived around 7pm on a Tuesday. Place was…read morefull up. Waited a few minutes for table. Not sure what else is on the menu as we just ordered apple pie with whipped cream. A single slice is plenty for two people. It is not overly sweet, the crust is really good (a slight taste of Biscoff cookies to me), and it has a few raisins in it as well. It was a nice night nice so we sat outside. The patio is large and seats plenty. The service is good, not great, but I was okay with it. My needs were meager - get my pie! N*joy!

    There was a long line and a pretty long wait when we went. The place was fully packed, with both…read moreindoor and outdoor seating. I'd say about 95% of the people were ordering the apple pie, so of course we had to get one to see what the hype was about. The apple pie is pretty unique, it's basically a big chunk of cooked apple topped with a sweet, crumbly cookie like crust. The flavor reminded me of those little brown biscuits you get as airplane snacks... basically Biscoff cookies. lol!!! Overall, you really taste the natural apple flavor along with that Biscoff like cookie flavor. The pie itself isn't very sweet, which I actually liked, but adding some whipped cream definitely brings up the sweetness and makes it even better. The setup is pretty straightforward: get in line, order and pay, pick up your food, then find your own seat. It's definitely a popular spot, so be prepared for the crowd and a bit of a wait.

    So good I stopped by twice on a 3 day trip to the city…read more I stopped by on my first visit craving a big, hearty sandwich for a late lunch and thought this might be a good find. Happy to report I was very right. I grabbed one of the many outside seats, took a look at the menu that was entirely in Dutch and waited for the wonderful waitress to quickly translate nearly every item for me. I landed on the chicken club and it hit the spot. I arrived hungry but could still only manage to finish half. Chicken was grilled perfectly into thin slices, soft boiled egg was a new touch that I loved, avocado, lettuce and probably a few other things I am forgetting. Oh, and a handful of crisps on the side. On my next visit, it was my last night in Amsterdam and I still haven't tried the infamous fries. I stopped in around 9:30 for a late night snack and a hot ginger tea. The fries were the perfect fries! Thin, crispy, salty. I loved. I also can get behind the mayo thing they do here, even though I really am a ketchup loyalist. Anyway, lunch or dinner or late night snack, this is a good spot. You'll like the foot and you'll love sitting outside people watching, reading your book, whatever.

    Friendly service, great food, comfortable and cozy atmosphere. Add to this, it is located very…read moreclose to our hotel and convenient tram stops. We ate there three separate times on our week long vacation.
