In A Nutshell:…read more -Tapas Duende is the first tapas restaurant that opened in Amsterdam. -It was recommended to me by a local bike tour guide & he didn't disappoint! -If you are in the mood for some really tasty tapas, this is the place to go. -Tucked away in the Jordaan neighborhood, you will find this spot. -It can get packed very quickly, so go early to secure a table. -I ordered their salad, clams, shrimp & mushroom dishes. -They all fit perfectly together like a puzzle. Overall, the service was friendly, the environment cozy & the price was right :)

Food (4/5): Had the lamb chops with potatoes, and I also tried some of the lamb stew. The stew was great with tender meat and flavorful. Unfortunately, my lamb chops were dry. Service (5/5): Our waitress was friendly. Be aware that in Europe when they ask if you want water, it is to purchase. I forgot and our bottle of water was $7. Ambiance (4/5): Good amount of tables inside or outside seating.

We didn't even need to fly to Spain, we had the pleasure of experiencing it all right here. Pro, The food and ambiance is magnificent. I loved everything about them. The service was warm, friendly, and spot on wonderful. Prices are very reasonable. We loved it so much, I am already romanticizing about coming back soon. If you are looking for something that is truly authentic and less touristy during certain hours, I would strongly suggest this beautiful gem. Ideal restaurant to dine for lunch or dinner. The only con, make sure to make reservations, because they can get booked real fast.

Came here for a friend's birthday. We had a reservation but the table was taken for about 20…read moreminutes after our booking time, so we had to wait around and it was pretty busy with minimal standing room. When we got seated we ordered a couple of tapas and some sangria, as well as a paella (which we were told takes some time to prepare). The food was all amazing. The sangria wasn't as strong as I expected but was still good. I really liked the croquetas with the cheese and chorizo, it has a great texture and were freshly fried. I'm taking one star off because the floors were really greasy and as someone with mobility issues it was a challenge to walk on without slipping on my crutch. Plus we had to wait for a while and it took ages for anyone to help us, let alone get our table set up. But if you have the time to wait and savor a meal, I would recommend it.

We came in with a massive group and the staff was more than happy to help us out and cater to our needs. Getting a refill on our drinks was the only thing which took time but it wasn't unreasonable. The top is themselves were surprisingly quick to the table. As for the tapas, just about everything was tasty. For vegetarian stuff the green peppers were great as usual, but make sure to put salt on them. The tomatoes are also really tasty and patatas brava of course. The mushrooms were a little ordinary though. The paella looked really good and tasted so according to others even though I didn't try it. Will certainly go back with a smaller group to try out other dishes.

We went here with a group on a Friday night. It was pretty crowded and we came with no reservation…read morebut luckily there were still a few tables in the back (also because we arrived pretty late, around 9.). This place is really cozy. It reminds me of Pata Negra, with the tiles on the wall and being so dark. The service was fast here. The friendly waitress came quickly to ask us if we wanted drinks and also came quickly when we wanted to order the food. The food also arrived fast, There were plenty of choices on the menu. Fish, meat or vegetarian. All good. We tried a few different things like grilled sardines, patatas bravas, lamb chops, olives, stuffed eggs, chicken, gamba's pil pil. Everything was so yummy! This place really knows quality. I loved it, especially the lamb chops and the gamba's. Everything was for a fair price as well. If you order 2 dishes a person with your party (dishes will be like 6,50) and start of with some bread and olives, have about 2 drink it will cost you like like 22 each. Not much! I will certainly come back and try more veggie dishes next time because they looked great as well.

If ever this place gets less then 5 stars, that person has no taste buds. I started with a spicy salmon roll which was da bomb. I could attempt to go into details but I won't do it justice. Just go. I followed it up with Dim Sum and it's Japanese equivalent. For people back home in the 506 that's dumplings or "des dough boy". I don't usually have dessert but after having the best dim sum of my life I chose some salted caramel ice cream rig that almost killed me with joy. I also cannot forget to mention the wonderful waitress working that night that was very helpful. Wonderful place. I'll be back. I don't remember what I had to drink but if you deduct a star at a food joint because of drinks...you stink
