    Aromatic & full/bodied Dutch wine.
    Chrys A.

    Minimal yet luxurious decor. Witty artwork and open kitchen concept. The staff is super friendly and engaging. You can feel their passion for what they are about to serve. Each entree is served with black gloved hands. No detail is left untouched. The serving-ware is original and complements each meal perfectly. Every bite brought my taste buds on a journey. Enjoyed a Dutch sparkling wine and ended with a full bodied dark red Dutch vino. Thank you to Rianne and her amazing team. Lars you are a visionary. Bravo!!!

    Great experience, price is fair! Celebrating with my boyfriend, the food was decent, we both had 5 courses dinner menu. Would recommend to my friends if they are in Amsterdam

    Felt like royalty dining in this really neat place. We so happened to stumble across this place last minute and was sure happy that we did. Service was excellent. Nothing went wrong and everything was perfect. The portions were small but good and you were definitely full once you left. You don't get to pick what you eat you just pick how many courses you want and they bring them out to you. It was a really neat surprise to see how the chef cooked each course. Highly recommend

    This place was a real treat. To echo others, each dish - from the presentation to the flavors - was so unique and whimsical. Senses is not your average stuffy "French-inspired" Michelin place; the chef really does enjoy playing with your senses (with some things being more out there than most)! Everything was a delight, although there were some occasional misses in flavors. I didn't enjoy some of our amuse bouches, finding them a little strange - especially the little sandwich-cracker thing - but I don't mind that, because the actual courses were delicious. My absolute favorite: a little chocolate coated ice cream pop embedded in the chocolate dessert plate. Such great fun, as Mary Berry would say! Service was friendly and thoughtful; they offered to take our bags for us and store them behind the hotel concierge desk as our reservation was right before we were about to leave Amsterdam, so we arrived with suitcases and all. Looking forward to my next visit :)

    Top of a quince(?)...very tart and would pair well w/ - desserty wine.

    Great food/wine pairings. Had the 4-course pairings tonite. Salmon with Wakame Salad, shredded pork & fig, diamond steak with Augratin potatoes and fresh spinach. Wines ranged from Wente Mornin Fog Chardonnay to a Spansh Zin and Rioja.

    Senses works with food to create art pieces! We were in for the special treat. A group of three of us ordered the 4 courses. Before the first dish arrived, we were treated with Mini appetizers. They were so fun to look at. The hot dog was smaller than the thumb. The cucumber ball was like a chocolate truffle size. The cavier was simply divine. Each dish subsequently showed the skill and uniqueness of the chef. There were so many rounds of interludes. Through the portion might look small, we were so full by the end of this 4 hours meal. Be prepared to spend a lot of time here enjoying the food. We had so much fun and truly enjoyed this unique experience. A must when in Amsterdam.

    delicious 4 course surprise menu  was sincerely amazing.

    We stayed at the hotel at the end of May and ended up having dinner there completely worth it, loved it. The 5 course surprise menu was totally worth the surprise The food was so unique so well created and so tasteful. Presentation was beautiful

    Smoked salmon, so good
    Roman S.

    came in here for their surprise menu prices are actually quite reasonable for a place that has creative and high quality food. 3 course is like 35 euro, 4 course is 45 euro and they have up to 7 courses I believe. the place is small and cozy, servers are attentive. oddly, a 3/4 course tasting menu takes 3 hours to get through!! don't come in if you are on a time crunch. food is quite creative. some of the dishes were better than others but overall you can taste the high quality and some dishes will definitely amaze you. they are able to accommodate your preferences (which is nice as well)

    Chef was creative with the meals and presentations , the wines were well picked and went along with each dish , the staff was very good and friendly. Atmosphere is intimate but relaxed. Great value for money!

We were able to get seated right on the window area. We chose menu 5, which was just enough for two people. Everything was delicious! Their pea soup is out of this world. Don't know why as it is a simple dish but wow! I also love their herring. It was so delicious that I wanted seconds. It paired so well with their onions and mustard. And their bitterballen was just enough bite. Creamy and crispy! We also got a combination of the hutspot. They were all delicious! Although for me the meatball was just a tad bit salty but it is probably just me! Everything else was spot on. I love their dessert at the end. It was a great way to end the night. Our server and their staff were all amazing! Very friendly and welcoming. Yes it is a tourist spot but totally worth it.

We did not have one but they were happy to seat the 2 of us and invited us to switch tables once another couple left (they were checking out). Small space, can accommodate groups of 2-4, cozy atmosphere, lots of the traditional blue and white ceramics on the wall (dishes and tiles). Traditional Dutch cuisine: we ordered the Boerenkoolstamppot with smoked sausage and Zuurkoolstamppot with smoked sausage and a slice of apple pie to share for dessert. The food arrived piping hot in about 20 minutes. It was sooo delicious--the tasty juicy sausage pairs perfectly the mashed potatoes with either sauerkraut or kale. The apple pie was also tasty--larger chunks of apple and more spices less sugar than American apple pie from what I can tell. Perfect with whipped cream. A must visit if you're in Amsterdam and want to try traditional fare. Highly recommended!

Located on the Rozengracht, it's super central and easy to get to from just about anywhere in the Jordaan or the Center. * The Atmosphere: It's dark, moody, and has a very cool "late-night" energy. Even if you aren't sure what it is from the street, the vibe inside is unmistakable. * The Food: If you like meat, this is your spot. The burgers are massive and juicy, and the ribs literally fall off the bone. * The Vibe: It's a bit louder and more energetic than a standard restaurant, making it perfect for a night out with a group or a casual date with great cocktails. It gets incredibly busy, so even though it feels like a "hidden" spot from the outside, you'll definitely want to book a table ahead of time. Overall: A total neighborhood win.

We entered and seated ourselves, and within 5 minutes, a staff person greeted us, brought us a flask of tap water (tastes great and clean) and two glasses, and gave us menus. We ordered a short rib sandwich for him and a chicken Caesar sandwich for me. These come à la carte but you can add sides if you want. I was glad we didn't because the portion was generous. One thing I've noticed here is that the bread is always high quality--our sandwiches came in baguettes about 8 inches long --I had to cut mine in half to eat it lol. Both were savory and flavorful and satisfying. The meat was tender and well seasoned. We savored every bite! They both had crispy bacon in them as well. Very filling! Just what we needed to energize us after our morning at Keukenhof!
