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!

Had such a memorable dinner at Brasserie Ambassade in Amsterdam on our last dinner of the trip. The…read morerestaurant is beautifully decorated inside, with a great atmosphere right along the canal. We were a family of five, so unfortunately there wasn't enough space for us to sit outside, but the interior was beautiful and made for a really nice evening. For appetizers, we ordered the caviar and seabass tartare. Both were delicious, although the real problem was that the kids kept asking for more caviar . Definitely a good sign! For the entrees, among other things, we shared the tomahawk steak and ordered the fish of the day. The tomahawk was cooked perfectly medium rare and was tender and flavorful, while the fish was simply delicious and beautifully prepared. Great food, beautiful setting, and a really memorable family dinner in Amsterdam. Definitely a place we'd come back to.

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.

Le Chant is a small and quite getaway place sitting on Amsterdamseweg and is a perfect place for a…read morerelaxed and "French" dinner. Le Chant pleases me with the superior quality of their food- it had something in it that makes it stand out from similar restaurants in the area. To every beef and fish filet, sprig of basil and micro-drop of virgin olive oil there is an angle of acute quality which is not meant to be wolfed down, it is meant to be slowly cherished to feel a satisfaction in what you ordered. On the liquid side of things, the menu of sweet wine, sparkly champagne and strong whiskey is neatly plotted on a chart for your convenience- it describes the type, the sub categories and age, the amount and the concentration along with many other aspects of a good alcoholic beverage. Don't want to drink and drive? No problem, Le Chant offers a equally large selection of natural, thick juices or still and sparkling waters. The courses are set up to make you 80% full (the optimal amount for proper satisfaction), starting off with a delightful set of breads with a small pipette dropper for adding precise amounts of olive oil, the next stage is the starters you ordered, usually cocktails of seafood or salad (I ordered a lobster cocktail) topped with a sprig of basil or other greens. The main course is the most exciting part, with fillets, steaks, risottos, pastas and even top notch quality beef, onion and tomato burgers together with fries made right in the kitchen. Deserts cool you down with either an assortment of sorbets, ice cream (for the kids), fruits, coffee, tea and pastries, served with a kind of warmth that is restrained inside the core of the dessert that triggers a pleasant feeling when the chocolate of vanilla melts in your mouth. Switching the subject, the staff (including the chef) are really kind and welcoming, always happy to answer questions and provide you with assistance and information, together with executive level service and food. In a Nutshell, Le Chant D'Ossieu is a quite French getaway that gives dishes quality instead of quantity, perfect for a birthday of even to just hop in for a quick chat in a quiet wooden, candlelit atmosphere, served with red wine or Chivas Regal.
