Arles in Oude Pijp

This is a small, intimate French style restaurant in a quiet street. The staff were incredibly attentive, informed and pleasant. There was a 4 or 5 course taster menu in addition to an a la carte option - all from the same menu comprising 3 starters, 5 mains and 3 desserts. There was a decent French wine menu. The food was excellent and well presented, and represented good value for money. Our bill for 2 was around €220 including a bottle (and a half!) of wine.

Food intolerance friendly. Recommended place If you are looking to eat well without worrying about your intolerances, they customise the menu for you!

Amazing experience. A very cute restaurant. Small and cozy. I ordered two oysters as a starter, one cooked and one raw; both were finger-licking good. Then I decided to choose the 5-course menu. The waiters were charming and attentive, explaining each dish in detail. The menu started with fresher dishes, progressing to the duck, and ended with dessert, which was also refreshing. I thought everything was delicious.

Luca and Chef Mike are incredible. Food fantastic. Service is the best in Amsterdam.

both food and service were great, they accomodated a much larger group of my colleague than initally planned upon a late notice and managed everything superbly!

Great food and excellent service as always; still in our top list after many years!

Good food, fair prices, cozy ambiance.

We found the first dishes of the chef's menu a bit less, main course and dessert were delicious. However, we had a very nice interaction with the chef who was open to constructive criticism!

Enjoyed a nice meal. Four-course dinner had two vegetable dishes (asparagus and roasted sprouts) that both came with yoghurt; was nicely made, but could have been done differently. Furthermore, delicious fish and, original, a rocket ice cream for dessert. Good wine and despite the enormous crowds a relaxed welcome!

A very nice cosy restaurant, but I was a little bit disappointed with the flavors of the food, especially the green curry beurre blanc sauce, it only tasted of butter and nothing else. I got the same with other dishes only one flavor and no depth. In the end the restaurant is very good value for money due to the quality if ingredients.

Great experience overall. The dishes were original and beautifully presented, with fresh, seasonal ingredients. Service was friendly and professional, and the atmosphere calm and welcoming. Definitely worth a visit if you’re into creative food done right.

We had a truly lovely evening at Arles Restaurant, enjoying their 4-course chef’s menu with wine pairing. From the moment we walked in, we felt warmly welcomed and completely at ease. Our waiter was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive especially when it came to dietary restrictions. She guided us through the menu with care, ensuring options that were gluten-free and fish-free without compromising the experience. The wine pairing was a real highlight as each selection complemented the dishes beautifully, and we appreciated the interesting stories and facts shared about each wine. It really showcased the staff’s expertise and passion. The food was delicious and thoughtfully prepared. We especially loved being introduced to new and creative flavor combinations, like peach with pork cheek, nori-infused Greek yogurt, and rucola ice cream with chocolate - unexpected and delightful! Highly recommended for a relaxed, flavorful, and well-curated dining experience. We’ll definitely be back.

Great place, great fine dining experience.

Had a great evening at Arles. Everything was lovely. Amazing food, great service and vibe. Will definitely visit more often

3 (Good). The wine and service at Arles was excellent. The food was ok. We had the four course tasting menu. The sprout dish was tasty; however, other dishes like the yellowtail were less to my taste. The waiters at Arles were all great, and the wine menu was very good. Arles was nice, and if the menu excites you then you should go. However, in my opinion there are better places in Amsterdam at this price point.

Fantastic restaurant but even better staff! The team at Arles made our dinner one of the most memorable dinners I have had. Great service and attentive staff and amazing food. Highly recommend everyone in Amsterdam to go here for their tasting menu.

Really welcoming atmosphere, and great warm service. The food was very nice, however I think I’d rate it 4/5. overall nice experience !

Absolutely faultless. We frequently eat out and can certainly recommend Arles. Pity we do not live in Amsterdam as we would certainly be loyal customers. The atmosphere was excellent, the food delicious( I especially loved the iberico cheeks and the rice pudding) and the 4 course menu was excellent. Exceptional service which was attentive and yet not intrusive. We loved it. Loredana Harley and Tom Rathwell

Out of this world food, with a down to earth and warm atmosphere!

Hello, decent food, the service did its best given the crowd, a lot of noise, and you forgot to deduct the 40 euros paid when booking. Please respond to me as soon as possible to correct it.

Disappointed in the drink service. Was given the option of still or sparkling water, we asked for still expecting tap water but that was not the case. We were charged 6 euro per bottle of water. A glass of wine is very small, 1/4 the glass. We were given bread (we did not ask for it) and were charged. Felt very excessive in up charging. Took away from the ambiance and enjoyment of the meal as the food was quite tasty. Would not return.

Absolutely delicious food, beautifully presented with excellent wines and a lovely atmosphere. A real gem in the area—I’ll definitely be returning!

Not as good as I expected. We had 4 course chef's menu and wine pairing. Their chef's menu is okay but not excellent, not too creative, so in my opinion it's not worth the money. The wine pairing is weird, it doesn't go well with the food. Maybe only the wine that goes with the dessert.

We thought the music was a bit too present, otherwise it was great

Really enjoyed the food here! The Chef did a great job with creating a great menu with wonderful flavors. My favorite was the mackerel, Iberico cheek, and the beetroot blood orange gremolada (using that inspiration for my own cooking)! Only dish that was a bit overwhelming for my palette was the nori yoghurt Brussel sprouts, still really liked the nori yoghurt combo but all together was a bit too much. However, they gave us an extra dish because we didn’t like it as much, which was not needed but shows such amazing hospitality and service (we got the yellow tail which was really good). Great service from the staff - very kind and explained all the dishes. Also gave great wine recommendations. 10/10 would recommend for a good fine dining option without heavily breaking the bank whilst still getting good quality, unique food with great service.

Very nice culinary discovery. Daring and very well made flavor combinations. Impeccable service with a waitress who explained the contents of the dishes extremely well. Well done !

Excellent service. The restaurant was fully booked. Yet they still made every effort to add an extra person to the original reservation, despite the crowds.

Verfijnde Franse keuken met een verrassende twist – aanrader! Op 5 april hebben wij een fantastische avond beleefd bij Restaurant Arles in Amsterdam. We genoten van een 5-gangen diner met bijpassend wijnarrangement en werden geweldig ontvangen door eigenaar Max en zijn enthousiaste team. De sfeer is warm, losjes en stijlvol – precies zoals je hoopt bij een moderne bistro. Chef Numa Muller verrast met Franse gerechten die nét even anders zijn. Alles wat op tafel kwam was niet alleen prachtig opgemaakt, maar vooral waanzinnig lekker. Het hoogtepunt? Het hoofdgerecht met Iberico ham – een absolute smaakexplosie. Ook de wijnen waren perfect afgestemd. Spannend, karaktervol en vaak natuurwijnen, wat echt iets extra’s toevoegt aan de beleving. Arles is een plek waar vakmanschap, creativiteit en gastvrijheid samenkomen. Wij waren diep onder de indruk en komen hier zeker terug!

Great service. The food is interesting, but you need to take into account the nuances. We ordered a 4-course chef's set, but in reality it was more like 6 courses, as they complimented the first course (beetroot mousse) as well as fresh bread. 1) first appetizer - asparagus with slices of kumquat and olives, with aioli. I was surprised that the asparagus was cold; in my opinion, it would have been much better to serve it warm. There is a lot of mayonnaise and it does not go well with the dish. I also didn’t really understand the presence of kumquat and olives. Too much oil is added when frying asparagus. On 4- 2) Grilled Brussels sprouts with Parmesan and yogurt and nori sauce. Very tasty, unusual. At 5. But there is a lot of oil in the cabbage itself. 3) Main dish of fish. It’s delicious, but it’s literally all soaked in oil, incredibly greasy. We couldn't finish eating. 4) instead of dessert we took a cheese plate. The cheeses are excellent. 5. Considering the level of the restaurant, very reasonable prices, we left 100 before tip for 2 (oysters and a menu of 4 items for each, plus water, no alcohol). Overall a very interesting experience, but the presence of such a huge amount of oil in each dish must be taken into account if you have a sensitive stomach. Both my colleague and I felt ill after the visit.

Great restaurant - Excellent food - we took the chef's blind selection, 4 dishes Perfect balance. For 4 or 5 people, reserve the round table at the back of the room

My sincere congratulations to the entire team for an unforgettable evening. Food was sublime and the service was excellent. Definitely see you soon!

Everything was exceptional during our evening. A 4-course menu with wine pairing, extra, a very beautiful place and a high quality of welcome, what kindness from all. This evening will remain one of my fondest memories of my stay in Amsterdam.

Food was great! Meat option was kind of small, prices were good. The desert choice was a bit slim.

Very tasty, just a shame they don't have a 3-course menu! Would have been more than enough for us.

Stunning setting, and great service. The 4 course with matched wines was delicious and great value for money. Highly recommend.

Excellent place. Small but nice choice of delicious food. Definitely Michelin level place.

Very nice experience; thank you!

great food, clearly kitchen knows how to enhance flavors, create nice pairings and make the quality of the raw materials stand out and speak for itself. add excellent wine pairing suggestions, caring and attentive service, and you have the perfect combo. not cheap, quality isn’t cheap and you would want to choose quality over quantity always 🙂

Very nice restaurant, good service and relaxed atmosphere. Food was really fantastic! Definitely recommended to enjoy French cuisine!!!!

I visited with my husband last night for a celebratory birthday dinner. We had the 4 course menu (plus a couple of oysters to start) and it was superb! Every plate was delicious, well-balanced and elegant but never over the top. The service too was attentive but relaxed, and the atmosphere grown-up but not stuffy. Highly recommend if you are de Pijp.

Great food and fantastic atmosphere. The food took a bit longer as they faced some issues in the kitchen but they managed very professionally. Definitely recommend

Todo fue perfecto. Desde el momento hasta que llegamos hasta el final. La carta de vinos es genial y el personal realmente nos aconsejó los mejores vinos. La comida es tan deliciosa. Realmente sabroso el calamar como entrada. El personal es muy amable! Volveremos seguro. Tuvimos una noche perfecta!

This place is amazing….if you are looking for a place to go out for a meal then this is the place to be…..all boxes ticked…..amazing staff, amazing food, amazing atmosphere….my new favorite place in Amsterdam.

What an amazing restaurant in Amsterdam. Everything was perfect. From the moment till we arrived till the end. The wine list is great and the staff really advised us the nicest wines. The food is so delicious . Really tasty the squid as a starter. The staff so friendly! We will be coming back for sure. We had a perfect evening!

We were a group of 8 and enjoyed the attentive service. The food presentation and flavours were excellent. The wine list has been put together with care and there is a great selection of good wines. The quality and atmosphere were excellent. This restaurant is a little treasure in the heart of de Pijp.

Delicious food with fine accompanying wines. Smooth and accurate operation. Recommended.

The food was amazing! The service was also excellent and we really appreciate the person who was serving us. We asked for wine recommendation and their suggestion was really great. We will definitely come back again. It became a bit noisy at the end of the evening when the whole place was seated. But that’s a pretty common thing and has nothing to do with the service or food. We still enjoyed our evening

Menu and wine pairing were completely correct, good service from the friendly brothers

Nice and cozy environment (the table downstairs near the wines was great!), delicious 5 course menu from the chef - I couldn't choose which dish I preferred - good wines, top service and 'close' in a pleasant way. Had nice conversations! Our occasion was a birthday and the evening was a party.

A truly remarkable place in De Pijp. It perfectly combines a stylish interior (with appropriate spacing between tables) with great food, a relatively nice selection of wines, and reasonable prices. We opted for a la carte because we wanted to try the entrecote, and it was a 10/10 - probably the best entrecote I have had in years. The squid and beetroot starters were also of a high standard. Despite some initial confusion caused by the staff, we left with a strong positive impression.

Great food, great service and even better wine. Highly recommend!

Volvimos a este restaurante a pesar de que perdió su Bib Gourmand, y nos encantó la comida y la experiencia en general. Optamos por el menú y comenzamos con unas aceitunas y ostras, que estaban deliciosas. Sin embargo, tenemos una pequeña observación: se agradecería que los cubiertos fueran reemplazados después de cada plato sin necesidad de pedirlos. Además, la zona de abajo era bastante fría, lo que afectó a nuestra comodidad.

We tried Arles for the first time. Our experience was fantastic. The staff is super friendly and the guidance on the menu card with recommending dishes was great. We enjoyed the dishes. It has exceeded our expectations. I can only recommend the wine arrangement, it gives an extra accent to the dishes. We will definitely come back!

What a surprise, a romantic weekend in Amsterdam, identified restaurant but what a pleasant surprise! Very creative cuisine and an excellent food and wine pairing. Hoping for your 1st star very soon!

I’m from Avignon (right next to Arles), which means my review is the only one that matters. Given this undeniable fact, let me set the record straight: 5 STARS. The food is Michelin-level, the service is friendly and perfectly timed, and the atmosphere is cozy. Any review that says otherwise is simply wrong and should be reported to Google as fake news. No free speech for liars—lock them up.

A beautiful meal in lovely surroundings.

Enjoy the 5-course dinner with matching wines on a Saturday evening. Taken care of down to the last detail with delicious and surprising flavors, this is truly a culinary recommendation.

In the last month I spent two evenings at Arles. My experience is that it is a restaurant with great food, very attentive and friendly service and a wonderful, warm and quite special atmosphere.

The three of us spent a wonderful evening, the food, service and wine were excellent, the wine pairing was great. We'll be back.

Delicious food in this informal but very good restaurant. The young enthusiasm of the owner is contagious, the food is surprising and of (high) good quality and the wine-dish combinations were very good. Highly recommended for anyone who just wants delicious food with good and spontaneous service. It's worth the money.

Great atmosphere with great food. We haf the Wine pairing with the chef menu and we very much enjoyed everything. Kudos to the chef and regards to the serving staff! Will be back.

Delicious French food with a chic twist, served in an attractive setting full of beautiful art. The passionate owner provides a warm, personal touch. Highly recommended!

Dined with a group a few nights ago, whole experience was great! Due to my large appetite I unfortunately wasn’t quite satiated after the meal but the food was amazing. The scallops with the white sauce is one of the best things I’ve ever eaten and the wine recommendations were terrific. The servers were kind, attentive and informed, and the ambiance was relaxing. Both (the servers and the atmosphere) had a good energy. (P.S. If you’re dining in the back room (and are over 170cm), watch your head while watching your step)

Out of this world! Really worth the visit, such delicious & remarkable food.

The whole experience was exquisite! From the oysters and champagne to start off, to their signature rice pudding dessert, everything was delicious. We got the 4 course meal, and each course was unique and so good. My personal favourite was the calamari. We were served by the owner, Max, who was really attentive and ensured we had a personalized and great experience. He gave some great wine pairing advice too! Not to mention the fun ambiance and beautiful decor. If you’re in Amsterdam, this restaurant is a must try!

A pleasant evening in this French bistro in Amsterdam, with tasty food, a cozy atmosphere and charming service. A great gastronomic getaway!

Heerlijk gegeten in een zeer prettige sfeer. Was erg lekker en de bediening was uitstekend . Een aanrader voor een avondje lekker lang tafelen.

After various recommendations we had high expectations for Arles, only to catch them on a very off day.. Unfortunately, we won’t be returning for the food after the experience that we had. We have to say, the service was not the problem. During our whole night our waitress tried to improve the situation around the food, but this was ultimately not in her hands. At the start there was just a bit of chaos around where we could sit, as it seemed that they didn’t really know where to place us. We opted for the 5 course menu, to let us be surprised by the chef. We started with a cute little amuse, a potato with hollandaise mousse. Then we moved on the first starter, beetroot with blood orange and smoked yoghurt. It tasted fine, but was a bit bland, nothing special. It then took very long before we received our second starter. And when it arrived we discovered that it was the same as the amuse, just 4x the size and with the addition of a tiny bit of pastrami. In essence it was a very big piece of deep fried potato, which tasted fine, but felt like we were just eating bar food to fill ourselves up. The third starter came also after a long wait and it was a celeriac with pear. We were very surprised, because we seemed to receive different dishes than the tables around us. The dish looked great, but as wel tasted it, it had simply no flavour. No salt, no acidity, nothing. Just barely cooked celeriac and raw pear. We couldn’t even finish the dish, because it felt like a waste of our stomach space. The waitress apologised as we did express our dissatisfaction, and she tried to get to the best solution. We quickly moved onto the main course, which was the chicken with black garlic. This was a great dish, only to discover that my partner received 80% raw chicken. We were honestly a bit shocked how this just kept happening. The manager came up to apologise for the turn of events and offered us the food in the house. We appreciated the gesture and continued with a new main plate. The (cooked) main course tasted delicious. Lastly, we got the lemon curd dessert which tasted great as well. Mistakes can happen, and preferences can differ, but this was not up to standard for the price that you pay. Maybe something went wrong after my partner indicated that was sensitive to shellfish, so to exclude this for him. The other tables in the restaurant seemed to be fine. We appreciated the gesture of taking the food off the bill and the effort put in by the waitress, but overall it wasn’t a very enjoyable evening.

Delicious food and the service was excellent. Recommended!

Had a confirmed reservation days in advance for a celebration only to be told the night before that google reservations somehow don’t count.

Delightful venue, Provençal style, French wines, young and dynamic staff. We chose a natural wine and the chef's menu. Colorful and delicious dishes. Furnishings pleasing to the eye and comfortable. Pleasant French music in the background, just the right volume for chatting. Relaxing atmosphere.

Visitamos el restaurante en la última noche de nuestras vacaciones en Amsterdam. No había apreciado que el menú fuera limitado (culpa mía) pero elegí el menú a la carta y decidí compartir nuestros platos. Parecía haber un poco de confusión, ya que nos sirvieron el plato equivocado como era una mesa vecina. Uno de los entrantes era la “patata” y eso es literalmente lo que era. ¿Sabroso pero 15 euros? El pescado principal estaba delicioso. El plato principal de pollo vino con una salsa de ajo negro que disfruté, pero mi marido encontró demasiado amargo. Agradable noche con un servicio atento pero no tan especial como esperaba.

The food was good, but the service ruined it all. They had some minor problems from the very beginning (seated us at the table which was already booked or something, so we had to move elsewhere), but well, that happens sometimes, not a big deal. Then they messed something with the ordered drinks and could not bring them for over 15 minutes (we already finished the first round of appetizers when the drinks arrived). But they did apologize and made the drinks on the house — so, not a big deal as well, probably. And then the food was great. The courses may seem a bit experimental and controversial (venison with eel is indeed a strange combination), but we enjoyed them, really. But the ending was totally unexpected and weird. After they brought the desert, they just stopped speaking to us at all. No “how were your deserts?” question asked. No tea or coffee offered, not to mention the digestive. No other questions or suggestions — they silently took away the empty plates and glasses, even without asking if we wanted another drink (well, we wanted, but they didn't care) and left us with an empty table and a half-empty bottle of water. The only question we got from them was if we wanted any change when we payed. No help with the wardrobe offered, no goodbyes said. Is that really a Michelin listed place? The McDonald's service usually seems friendlier. Guys, did we offend you somehow? That was really, really strange experience. Thanks for the food though, it was great nevertheless.

The food was amazing. Service immaculate. Quiet vibes. Perfect for good conversation.

Great value for food and awesome atmosphere!

Thank you so much, food was fine and excellent and services were so nice.

We had an unforgettable evening at Arles, where we gathered with our international friends for a truly magical experience. Opting for the five-course menu with wine pairing, we embarked on a culinary journey that was nothing short of extraordinary. Each dish was crafted with love and care, showcasing a perfect balance of flavors and artistry. The wine pairings elevated the dining experience, perfectly complementing each course and adding to the intoxicating ambiance of the evening. The warm and inviting atmosphere, combined with impeccable service, made the night even more special. Arles is not just a restaurant - it’s a destination for those who seek a memorable dining adventure. Highly recommended for anyone looking to celebrate good food, great wine, and even better company.

Great atmosphere and amazing food. Staff is super friendly. Highly recommend!

Word of mouth is the best sales lady. We had heard from a dining expert that we should not miss this, so off we went. Thijs is simply super hospitable and attentive. We ate a delicious four-course menu with excellent wines. Nice atmosphere, family business, you feel so at home. We also say: let people spread the word: you can fully enjoy yourself in Arles! Don't hesitate, make a reservation.

I don’t know what happened on 23 November but it’s as if the manager was away and the organisation and decision making dissapeared. One mistaken was confounded by another mistake, time after time. I’m pregnant and they twice served me wine (before pouring it into the other glasses) and forgot my actual drink. I ordered a starter which included caffeine and asked for it to be removed, they agreed, they then forgot my order again and then came out with broccoli and carrots. I sent it back before another waiter brought it back a second time. The main course was good but very slow to arrive. The bill was too high, they then amended and generously gave us €80 off the bill - we checked with them it wasn’t a mistake but the waiter said he wanted to make up for the experience. We gave him a €20 tip for his kindness and his stressful evening. He then told us the €80 discount was a mistake - it felt like a scene from a chaotic comedy show!

The restaurant boasts a beautiful and welcoming atmosphere, paired with excellent service. The staff is professional, friendly, and well-informed, creating an enjoyable dining experience. However, I was somewhat disappointed with the food, especially considering the price. We opted for the chef's five-course tasting menu, which included three appetizers, one main course, and a dessert. The first two appetizers were outstanding, the scallop, and the mushrooms in chestnut cream; but the third, a fried croquette, felt uninspired, with the flavor dominated entirely by the frying. The main course, featuring venison, was delicious; however, the addition of two small pieces of eel felt out of place and did not harmonize with the rest of the dish. The most disappointing aspect, unfortunately, was the dessert. The menu included a pear-based dessert accompanied by parsley ice cream. While innovative, the flavors were peculiar and didn’t align with what one would expect for a dessert course. Unsatisfied, I asked to try the second dessert option, which was cottage cheese-based. Sadly, this too failed to impress and did not feel like a fitting conclusion to an otherwise refined meal. For the price I paid I would have expected more. In summary, while the menu shows great promise, certain elements could be improved. I would strongly recommend revisiting the dessert selection to ensure a more satisfying ending to an otherwise well-thought-out dining experience.

We had a 4 course menu but as a main dish we ordered entrecote which was +15 eur p.p. (was delicious). As a starter we had leek and chanterelle mushroom with soft egg (very interesting texture). We are not leek fans but the taste was good. The menu changes every month btw so from next week there will be a new menu, which you can find on their website.

Arles has such a lovely French vibe and the food and wine is great!

Just a great place! I’ve had the best time! The food was just incredible, the service was very friendly! I highly recommend this place!

The place has vibes. Elisavet was fast as a gust. Thanks for the experience!

Delicious food (and drinks!) at Arles. The interior is beautiful, the atmosphere is good, the staff is very professional and the food was great; très bon!

This is my biggest food disappointment in a long time. I do not recommend wasting your time and money in this establishment. I took a set of 5 dishes, 4 of which were not just tasteless, but disgustingly tasteless. But first things first. Initially, when I arrived, they put me in a separate room. In front of me, the waiters began to argue with each other, which already set the wrong mood. Everything started well, they brought me hot crispy bread (spoiler - this is the only tasty dish). Next came the appetizers - 1) boiled leek with 3 crackers that couldn’t even be chewed and sour mayonnaise I think okay, but the next one was just cabbage in some kind of mayonnaise with 3 pieces of fish and DILL. Dill in 2024? in a good kitchen? the third was another appetizer - tasteless mushrooms in water - it was disgusting. As a main course, they brought me meat in red wine sauce, even though I initially clarified that I don’t drink alcohol and can’t stand the smell/taste of it. Nobody warned me. for dessert there was chocolate cream with ice cream, which was difficult to spoil and it was normal. Save yourself time and don't go to this restaurant. It has nothing in common with French cuisine.

Good food! Good and friendly service that really took their time! And nice atmosphere!

Once again a delicious meal and perfect professional service!! Chapeau!!

Great experience! The kitchen was very cooperative. I called in advance to see if vegan food was possible, and although they normally don't have vegan dishes, they had put together a creative menu especially for me. The beet carpaccio, often a standard vegan option, was given a surprising twist with raspberry and capers. The pumpkin risotto as a main course was delicious, and the non-vegans enjoyed a perfectly prepared cod. Secretly, the chanterelle amuse was the tastiest. The wine pairing was good, although the service could have been better; the guests without wine pairing always had to ask for drinks themselves. Arles is definitely recommended!

Wonderful restaurant with splendid food and a wonderful team to make it a great dinner experience.

Super lekker gegeten! Quito was heel goed in de bediening. Lekkere wijn en gezellige sfeer. Zeker een aanrader in Amsterdam

The service at Arles was something else, really great! We had the chef's menu and it was very tasty, however, I would have wished that one of the dishes would have been meat to have more variety.

Very tasty and enjoyable meal on Sunday evening! Particular compliments to the girl who served us, she was very knowledgeable and could advise us well. Recommended!

A must every time I’m in Amsterdam

We had the 5 course menu which is highly recommended! Every dish was a surprise. We started with cremant and oysters and then had some wines. Everything was SO tasty and the owner and service were also very good and nice. The atmosphere and acoustics were also great. Definitely recommended and I would come back!!

Great atmosphere and good service, but the food fell flat. This is a nice restaurant tucked away on a side street in De Pijp. We did the 5-course option with a wine pairing. Nothing was bad, but also nothing really stood out - as everything was so mildly seasoned and lacked texture variation leaving the dishes to just blend in together. Leeks - could have been cooked slightly more, sauce lacked flavour Celery & sea bream - one of the better dishes, fairly simple Chantarelles with egg - egg was cooked soft with sautéed chantarelles. Again could use some texture and also very mild flavour. Beef chuck - cooked well. I like daikon, but it didn’t add much here. Would have enjoyed creamy mashed potatoes more Chocolate desert with miso and bacon was good.

We had the chef's 4-course and enjoyed each and every dish. Standout was the rice pudding dessert - exceptional. The staff are very warm and friendly making our experience that much better, we're very glad to have stumbled upon Arles. Highly recommended

Very tasty food. At first I thought what is this going to be when I saw the menu, but I was really surprised. I really like this in the caliber Zoldering and the Juwelier, just really really good!! In addition, there was a very nice living room atmosphere.

What a wonderful evening with wonderful colleagues in a perfect atmosphere. The food and presentation were perfect, the waiters were as attentive as you would expect and the ambience was absolutely harmonious. I'm looking forward to next time.
