Best Lunch Restaurants in Westelijk Havengebied

I am a regular here now. The food is really good and tasty couldn't be better. The menu takes me out of my comfort zone as I usually end up with dish as as generally plain eater that I am not famiilar with. But I am never disappointed with what I order and I go for the 4 courses and wine. For me as a long time Irish resident in Amsterdam who eats out quite regularly. This place has the best food in Amsterdam and is competitively priced. The ambiance is a bit disappointing the dining seats are far apart so it makes a private conversation a little more difficult. But as long as your only there to make small talk with each other who cares. As the Chef is top class.

The best bread and service I’ve had in Amsterdam. The drinks were nice the vibe was cool

The meal was amazing including the sourdough bread at the beginning. It was also a beautiful sunny day and we sat by the water. The service was top notch too.

Cote de Bouef for two was chewy and gristly. Wouldn’t order again. Apple crumble dessert was disappointing and not what we expected as it was more of a pudding with crumbs on top than a “crumble.”. Food menu is too limited. Service and wine choices were excellent. Location is beautiful and the hotel is charming. Will try again as have eaten there twice before on other visits to Amsterdam and loved it.

A gem in Amsterdam! We were so pleasantly surprised to find this Italian restaurant that rivals our favorite restaurant in NYC. Fresh pasta (tried the seafood spaghetti and pesto tagliatelle). 2 preparations of the shrimp (cognac and garlic). So yummy! And the caramelized balsamic vinegar! Great and personal service. Thanks for a wonderful 2 days in Amsterdam. They were so good, We ate there daily !
