Singel 101 is a must! We had a reservation for 8:00 pm one evening while visiting Amsterdam but we were running ahead of schedule so we stopped by early and they accommodated us early. We sat at the table and the server explained their concept to us. We just needed to decide if we wanted a three, four, or five course dinner and if we had allergies or preferences. I don't eat seafood and she said the chef would create something for us. The first course came out and it was the first time I've ever enjoyed radishes. The second course came out and we asked to switch from four courses to five. They accommodate this as well. Everything about our experience there was amazing. It was one of may favorite dining experiences ever! Put this on your list of places to eat while visiting Amsterdam. read more

We were looking for a restaurant near to the Anne Frank House and found this on Open Table. It was an absolutely wonderful dinner. We chose the four course dinner, which is always the chef's choice, and it was fabulous. First we had fresh-baked bread, which was great, with olive oil from Chile and whipped butter (we could make a meal out of that!). First course was sea bass with radishes, served cold, reminded me of a ceviche. It was refreshing and just the right amount. Second course was chick peas, cucumber, chick pea purée and an egg that was slow cooked for 3 hours at 62 degrees C - what a wonderful texture. Third course was beef tenderloin, cooked perfectly medium rare, with mashed potatoes and parsnip - so good! And dessert was raspberry sorbet with blackberries on a base of crushed almond cookie. My wife had a glass of chenin blanc and I had a Glenlivet Founder's Reserve Scotch. We chatted with the owner and the chef came out with some of the dishes, and that made the meal even more special! read more

A small narrow restaurant with a small amount of seating upstairs. Waiter was friendly and recommended that we try the chef's menu which includes 4 courses. Started with a turnip salad and a fruit salad, a small steak and a dessert. It was pretty good. Portion sizes are small if you're looking for something lite. read more

An excellent authentic dining experience along a lovely canal in the center. All you choose is your wine and 3, 4 or 5 courses. Then the food starts coming out. We picked the four courses. Started with a lovely salmon appetizer. Followed by a delicious fresh tomato and fruit salad. Main dish was a perfectly prepared tenderloin with potato purée and artichoke. Dessert was fresh peaches with a light chocolate mousse. Everything tasted great. Service was very leisurely. read more

Singel 101 - View from the interior towards the outdoor dining. - Modern European Near Me - Amsterdam, New Hampshire

Walked in off the street to a fabulous meal! You can choose from a 3,4 or 5 course chef's tasting menu. We had sea bass followed by beef tenderloin and dessert. We could sit inside or outside next to a canal. A family run restaurant. read more

What a beautiful find! You can choose a 3,4 or 5 course menu and then be wowed. We chose the 5 course and from beginning to end, each dish was a surprise and a delicious flavor bomb. The chef has a great palate and did not disappoint. Even though she's a vegetarian, dishes included sea bream in our appetizer (prepared two ways) and beef tenderloin for our 4th course. I cannot recommend this place enough. Menu changes every 6 weeks. read more

What a gem! The core staff is from Chile, but the chef changes the menu daily depending on whim and availability. You choose 3, 4, or 5 courses. My being vegan didn't slow chef down at all for our 4 course meal. Tofu substituted for Salmon in the first dish with red and yellow beets topped with yuzu cream. Second for both was a quinoa salad featuring local lettuce and white asparagus. Main was a beef tenderloin with demi glaze, roasted eggplant, and spicy mole. I was substituted roasted heart of celery for the beef. Dessert for both was a small baked granola cake topped with an ice made with beans and a dairy free sabayon. We left satisfied and happy, all plates empty. We would highly recommend for all visiting or residing in Amsterdam. read more

If I could give it six stars, I would! So worth it! The surprise of having no menu made the experience really fun. It was just the right amount of food, and everything was absolutely delicious. Our meal included bass, steak, and an incredible carrot cake. There were also fun appetizers like soup served in a test tube! The servers were all very kind and we had great conversations with them. This place would be perfect for a special occasion--it's about 35 euros per person for as good a meal and atmosphere as I've had pretty much anywhere. read more

Singel 101 - Sea bass appetizer with caviar - Modern European Near Me - Amsterdam, New Hampshire

This is one of those places you go to for a special intimate 4 or 5 course dinner. You don't order off a menu either. The dinner is made for you by chef's recommendation only. Prepared beautifully and full of flavor, hearty fish dishes ( or meat if you don't like fish) and there are wine pairings available too. I told them I won't eat mackerel and they were very accommodating and gave me salmon instead. This institution has been around for a long while and I can understand why.. it's a lovely and filling beautiful place to dine. I can't recommend it more. Do yourself and about and dine at Singel101( which also happens to be their address). read more

An awesome and unique experience. Food was perfect and the service was great. I will be back.

I have a new favorite restaurant in Amsterdam! I lived here ten years ago and had all sorts of haunts I'd like to visit but this trip was a short eighteen hour layover and I decided to try something new. Yelp guided me to an interesting pick and I spent my evening at Singel 101. Julia was a wonderful host and we enjoyed a five course meal which was modified after arrival for our dietary restrictions. The presentation was outstanding with the first course coming out in a three stage box. The salad dish was the best kale I've ever had and by the end we had a new fav dinner spot. Other courses included salmon, sea bream, veal cheek, and dismantled passion fruit cheesecake! I'll be back!! read more

Absolutely amazing restaurant. I had the chicken Piri Piri... perhaps the best flavoring I've ever had with chicken. The fresh mint tea was an unexpected bonus. Excellent service and attention to detail. I would definitely recommend this restaurant!!! read more

This restaurant is impressive! There's no menu. You can order a 3-, 4-, or 5-course dinner, and the chef makes what he makes. AND IT'S FANTASTIC. We almost didn't eat here because we were looking for a light dinner, but the server assured us that the portions were not too big. We ordered the 3-course menu (consisting of a fish appetizer, beef entree, and ice cream, meringue and biscuit desert, but also included a small bread and pumpkin introductory course), and while it was still a little more food than we were planning to eat, I think most people would find the meal to be just the right amount of food. The service was good, the presentation was great, and the flavors were excellent. This is the best restaurant experience we've had so far on our trip. If you're in Amsterdam, eat here! read more

OMG! I live 5 minutes from this place and did not try it out for years.... My bad! I'm catching up though, been there 3 times in 2 weeks now :) The food is delicious, SUPER skilled & friendly staff. On top of all that: a 3 course menu including bread/olive oil and amuse for €35. Don't wait: go now and enjoy the deliciousnesssss! read more

Had a frisée salad with Gruyere and pine nuts that was great, and then a Churasco (?) sandwich: roast beef, avocados, veggies, on a dark brown role. Both were extremely tasty. Service was not bad by European standards. They have tables on the sidewalk so that you can watch the Amsterdamers racing furiously down Singel on their bicycles. Right on the canal for a nice view. Good neighborhood. I can only speculate that their dinners are quite good. Decor inside was classy. read more

Do not book a reservation through Yelp. They do not recognize your reservation when you arrive. Very rude about it as well.

Great food, great environment. Try the pheasant and the ginger carrot soup. Nice Chilean wines. Very tasty dishes in a stylish relaxed environment. read more

We had no idea what to expect as there was no menu, but were pleasantly surprised, especially as we had some food restrictions. They were very accommodating, warm, and friendly. Enjoyed it very much. read more

This is our second time at singel 101 and we left even happier than the first. Everything was super good. The family is from Chile so the food has strong Chilean influence: quinoa, pulpo, etc. The service is great. Juanita is the server and her nephew is the cook. You can tell they love what they do: making people happy with good food and wine. That pays: people keep coming back. read more

Dined here while vacationing in Amsterdam and it was amazing! Loved the specialized chef's menu. Be sure to come here with an open mind and trust the chef, everything was fantastic. The atmosphere, service and food make this restaurant worthy of a 5 star review. read more

Absolutely delicious food for an affordable price (35 euros for a 3 course menu). Very friendly staff and excellent service.

This restaurant was a culinary highlight of our 2-week trip in Amsterdam, Brussels and Paris. We were staying in a hotel nearby and as we walked by, I noticed how happy and contented the diners seemed to be, so I made a reservation for the next night. When we arrived the server asked if we wanted 3, 4 or 5 courses. I decided to take the "middle of the road" option and go for 4 courses. Mid-way through the first course I realized that this was more than just an everyday restaurant -- it was an extraordinary experience and I wanted to experience as much as I possibly could, so I asked if we could upgrade to 5 courses. They gladly obliged. The dishes were less "food on a plate" and more like a voyage of discovery. The service was attentive but not overwhelming. This place is a charming gem and I hope I get to visit it again very soon. read more

Came into Singel as a backup. So glad I did! After a hectic tram hopping pavement pounding day, relaxed, drawn out, attentive care of Singel was spot on. Soothed by the Jazz standards and small space, I had a highlight meal for Amsterdam. Raluka(?) explained the very solid, limited menu and then offered Chef's menu. Trust the Chef when in doubt. The amuse bouche of lentils, radish, microgreens and artichoke with a sherry vinegar was balanced, nicely astringent and tasty. The first course was very good. Mackerel sashimi with enoki mushrooms and corn prepared severally: popcorn, diced kernel, and a corn "pillow pastry" with sweet corn cream filling, all complemented with a light champagne cream. Acidic, sweet, complex. Paired with a Tokaji/Furmint wine: pear, lime, dry akin to a nice Vouvray. Course 2 was just as strong. Veal cheeks with beets, cauliflower, haricot vert and a rosemary foam. Tender, juicy, earthy and sweet. Full flavor. Well-paired with a 2011 Escudo Rojo, Maipo Valley, BPR that was improved by the fatty veal cheek. Finished off with a memorable trio of strawberries with the champagne cream. Excellent desert. I left completely satisfied and quite pleased. Very recommended! read more

Food is amazing. Highly recommend. Found this place by accident. Was heading to the restaurant next door which turned out to only serve breakfast and lunch. Great surprise. Agree with all the positive posts simply amazing. read more
