I had the fish of the day (Cod) which was delicious. Desert was a grand dessert which was amazing. They are very food allergy conscious and able to cater to vegetarians. The wine was phenomenal and the service were also really good. Make reservations if you can as this is a small bistro and we noticed several parties were turned away as the restaurant was full by about 8pm.

But also in wintertime, it was a nice and cosy restaurant. The wine we got recommended was fantastic and really complemented the food. A warm, heavy wine complementing the boarstew. Food was very tastefull. The serving staff was also very friendly. And dogs were not a problem. One drawback was the inability of the staff to speak English. A very nice place and a honest price for their food.

The service, the food, the ability to see into the kitchen and watch as the dishes were being prepared...everything was great. My husband had the standard 3 course lunch special while I had the vegetarian version, and we were both very pleased. The three course menu actually had an extra course of several tiny appetizers before the first course, as well, which was an excellent tasting of different unique items. The ratatouille (main course for today's vegetarian lunch) was definitely my favorite, though!

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.

My father and I were in Haarlem for an evening once and decided to treat ourselves to a nice…read moreevening in this tiny restaurant he had heard about. I was disappointed. The owner is quite rude. My father likes to receive advice on what to drink, and when we were asked if we wanted an aperitif my dad simply asked "what would you suggest to us?" . In a tiny place without menu on drinks where the owner pride himself to welcome customers in his "home" we received the elegant answer of " am I suppose to tell you what to get now?" Worst first impression I ever had. My dad certainly knew what to get, but without a menu we just wanted to hear what the owner had to offer and to give us some idea...we went for a classic prosecco. Also, it looks all fancy (the tiny place is indeed divinely decorated and is full of personality) but the food served is not worth the price. It seems to be serving a mix of French cuisine with a twist....or whatever - but it's really not the best food I had ( definitely not for that price range!). But the overall service ruined it. Quite snobbish.
