This was a wonderful way to wind down our day and enjoy a fantastic meal. There weren't many people in the restaurant but as we continued with our meal, more and more people stopped in. The waiters and waitresses went to lunch and yet our service was still wonderful. Our kids were given coloring books and colored pencils to color with while they waited for their meal. They loved their hot chocolates and they didn't make it too hot for our kids to enjoy, it was wonderful. The kids meal came with bitterballens, fries and salad and my kids licked the plate clean. I had the roasted chicken with dutch asparagus and chips, it was beautifully cooked. My husband had the lamb and again, perfectly cooked and we loved every bite. To finish our meal, we shared the cheese plate, with rum cake and ended it with some coffee. We had such a great meal and we walked back to the train station to go back to Central Station Amsterdam full and happy.

Top Notch Breakfast and Dinner…read more.. Brasserie is the restaurant inside the Ambassade Hotel. My wife and I...along with another couple...had 4 breakfasts and 1 dinner there so this review reflects our experience. - Overall: 5 - Location: 5 (for Old Town and the Jordaan) - Exterior: 5 - Interior: 5 - Atmosphere: 5 - Menu: 5 - Food: 5 - Service: 5 (though the head waiter at dinner was full-of-himself) - Price and Value: 5 Pros: - Location: Convenient to the Old Town and Jordaan parts of Amsterdam. - Exterior: Handsome. A beautifully restored and maintained property. - Interior: Contemporary. Brasserie is a high end spot across 3 rooms, yet remains comfortable where conversation is easily accomplished. - Menu: Very healthy buffet at breakfast plus some items which can be ordered. Dinner offers French fare with a relatively light touch...though very different from the wellness-oriented breakfast. - Food: Excellent. The breakfast buffet is not huge, but full of healthy high quality items. I had 3 unbelievable versions of granola spooned from large jars and covered my bowl with the best tasting light Greek yogurt. Fruit and fish was super fresh...bread and pastries baked on premises amazing. Others in our group chose made-to-order egg dishes. It's all part of staying at the hotel. Dinner transformed Brasserie into a bistro with a French twist on many favorite dishes. Check the menu online. Portions are small - as expected - but quality was high. However, prices were very reasonable with most items under $30. - Service: Homey at breakfast..."French" for dinner. Everyone could not have been more friendly and helpful in the morning. Things were a bit more formal at night with a different crew. The chief waiter was very knowledgeable, but we agreed a bit arrogant. - Price and Value: Worth it. I believe the breakfast buffet is only for guests of the Ambassade Hotel. Brasserie is open to the public at night and quite reasonable. - Parking: None. Who has a car in Old Town? Cons: - The only one readily apparent was the brusque, off-the-cuff nature of our main server at dinner. He wasn't over-the-top, but not in keeping with the friendly vibe of the hotel. And that's coming from 2 couples who grew up in New York City and lived for many years in San Francisco and LA. Anyone can...and should...get dinner at Brasserie. There are many reasons to make reservations for a stay at the Ambassade - including access to their breakfast buffet.

It's…read moregot that dark, slightly chaotic, "rariteitenkabinet" vibe that makes you feel like you've stumbled into a hidden club rather than a burger joint. We kept it classic this time: * The Ribs: Fall-off-the-bone tender as always. They don't over-sweeten the glaze, which I appreciate. * Le Cannibale Royale: The pulled pork on top of the patty is a heavy hitter, but the sauerkraut actually cuts through the richness perfectly. * The Fries: Still some of the most consistent in the city--thin, salty, and actually hot. Service was busy (it's Handboogstraat, so what do you expect?), but the staff was super chill and kept the craft beers flowing. It's loud, it's moody, and it's exactly what I wanted for a late-night feed. Plus, I've noticed they actually take the time to read and reply to feedback here, which is a rare find for a place this popular. Keep doing what you're doing!

The restaurant was understaffed and the servers were struggling. We could understand that but one had to ask repeatedly for something that had been ordered. The menu seemed different from the one I had seen online-no schnitzel-but I could be wrong. Ordered mussels which were surprisingly tasteless. Cooked in water with a plethora of vegetables that didn't add any flavor. Husband ordered hamburger and he said it was good. It's a pretty restaurant, cozy. If they were to get more staff and changed something on the menu it would be a win. It's in a pretty area.

The terrace is pretty cozy or airy depending on the season, they have heating lamps and local Dutch vibes - you can order something and they will leave you alone for as much time as you want until you wave them down again, so it's great to hang out and read a book. The charcuterie plate was pretty decent. Good first date spot, since it's right in that not-too-cheap not-too-expensive price point, you know what I mean .

We went back the next night to a closed kitchen as there was not a lot of people. I've worked in the industry for a long time and this is always a killer.

Het markante pand "Het Heerenhuis" te Wijdewormer, dateert uit 1628 en kan terugkijken op een rijke geschiedenis. Haar huidige vorm en indeling is te danken aan een grondige verbouwing begin 2014. Door de eeuwen heen heeft het pand verschillende gedaantes gekend, ooit gebouwd als herenhuis voor de polderheren, maar ook als herberg met paardenstal -voor destijds de reizigers per paard- en later ook als danszaal, hotel, slijterij, restaurant, bruincafé enz.. Ook zou volgens de vele verhalen hier in Het Heerenhuis een zekere Napoleon hebben geslapen... Eten en drinken Als gast bent u 7 dagen per week vanaf 11.00 uur van harte welkom voor lunch, diner, feestje, kopje koffie of gewoon voor een gezellige borrel of een goed glas wijn. De brasserie heeft voldoende zitplaatsen aan tafeltjes en een gezellige aperitief- borrelbar. Als het weer het even toelaat zijn natuurlijk vooral ook de veranda en het terras de plekken waar het goed toeven is. Het Heerenhuis biedt u een prettige laagdrempelige ambiance met vriendelijke bediening en ouderwetse gastvrijheid waar kwaliteit en gezelligheid samen gaan. De menukaart biedt veel variatie, met o.a. producten van leveranciers uit de omgeving waarbij ook de kwaliteit voorop staat. Uiteraard wordt er graag gewerkt met seizoen- en streekproducten...

Well, that's exactly how I felt while eating the short ribs dish at this amazing place. I was enjoying it so much, that I felt as if I was naked and everyone in the place was staring at me, that's how good it was. The dessert, a chocolate tart, with meringue, and Valrhona chocolate ice cream was an intimate experience of sheer joy. The only negative thing I would say is that they were busy and the service took just a little too long, but it was like waiting for a woman who takes forever to get ready, but when you see her, you just want to ravish her on the spot. Brasserie Van Baerle is a fine dining sensation, that offers good value for money and superb food. If you haven't been, check it out.

The steak was was just marinated with very light salt and pepper, allowing me to savor the truly medium rare goodness! It was a 5-6 oz piece, not too large and came with a side salad and fries.

Ok - this is no Wentworth or Kennemer but it is an excellent course to play on in the Netherlands…read more Its not a typical modern course that has been squeezed onto the land that is available. It has been built on an area that is twice that normally seen. Mature trees divide much of the course so there is no real feeling of being out on a big field with loads of other golfers. Also considering this is the Netherlands, there is quite some elevation changes with, of course, lots of water. The greens are quite fast and undulating. There are two courses designed within the one course. A number of tees are relocated in the winter to make the BuitenBinnen (outside Inside) course, although this is normally for a short period of time. The standard configuration is the NoordZuid (North South) setup. Excluding the grand old links clubs in the Netherlands, I would consider this as one of the best courses that I have had the pleasure to play at.
