    We stopped in for a snack and beer. Cute and cozy vibe. We…read moregot the fried anchovies and the grilled prawns. All were delicious although the anchovies were too much for my husband lol and I though I did my best, I barely dented that plate. They were really good with their bread and garlic aioli. Great spot, would have loved to have tried more.

    I randomly had unscheduled stopover in Amsterdam - much to my delight - and so I looked to my…read morefellow helpers for a place to eat. It ended up being a great decision, because Pata Negra was amazing. The divey, eclectic bar-restaurant was packed to the brim and full of energy. I was by myself, of course, so I grabbed one of the few remaining spots at the bar after a warm welcome and escort from The owner. He chatted with me a bit and then told the bartender to take good care of me. I ordered some sangria and a few tapas (empanadas, bacon wrapped dates and lamb steak bites) and soaked everything in. I read some of the messages carved into the walls and woodwork throughout the kitschy joint and people-watched across the tables tightly lined against the window. The empanadas and dates were tasty but the beef was tough and lacked flavor. I've only had bacon-wrapped dates once (I'm not too adventurous with food), and they were delicious. So comparatively, these weren't as good. Honestly, if the food was just one step higher, I'd give the joint five stars. Everyone around me seemed to enjoy their food, though, and lots of people were ordering what looked like creme brûlée. I was too full to order dessert, though. The owner came by again later to sit and chat with me for awhile - and take a shot (yikes!). Even though I was new to Amsterdam and was exploring by myself, he made me feel right at home. I stayed for another sangria, but ended up leaving after only because I wanted to explore more of the city in my limited time there. I'd definitely recommend checking out this place.

    We had an outstanding meal at this unpretentious but delightful restaurant. We shared a trio…read morecrollo to start (see photo), a 3 part dish of ceviche, causa with tuna and huancaina (a kind of potato salad) - very delicious. For mains we had chaufa de mariscos (seafood risotto) and lomo saltado (strips of beef fillet fried with vegetables) - all extremely yummy, my only comment being that I could have done without so many French fries with the lomo, very tasty though they were. For dessert we shared a maracuya (passion fruit) cheesecake with mango sorbet (see other photo) which was superb. We had some Peruvian beer with the food, which was an inspired choice as it went very well with it. Wine was available in half bottles, but not a great selection and I suspect it would have been a bit of a disappointment. Service was excellent and friendly. Ambience was good: it's a smallish place which was full most of them time we were there, so it's a good idea to book. Many of the other diners appeared to be Peruvians or Spaniards which must surely be a good sign of being popular with people who know about Peruvian food. Cost was 75 Euros for 2 which is perhaps a little pricey but in our opinion the delicious, imaginative and very high quality food was well worth it. Overall it was an excellent dining experience and I can't recommend it too highly as a very enjoyable place to eat.
