Bistrot Neuf in Haarlemmerbuurt

Another excellent dinner in Amsterdam! This little French bistro had the best mussels we've ever had. Mussels this year are plentiful we enjoyed them with frites. Our server was very kind and helpful. They had a tasting menu but we opted for alacarte. Enjoyed veal cheek appetizer that was amazing and soup as starters. Added a nice red wine. Perfect evening!!

We went here for its high rating and “French” category; both proved undeserved. And it explains why it was nearly empty on a Sunday at 7 pm. They play jazzy American bar music, nothing French here. Service is slow despite the low attendance. Food average at best. Avoid.

Fantastic food and presentation

Ambiance was very nice. A charming hidden restaurant on haarlemerstraat. The people who worked there also do their job great. We tried the chefs menu and all amazing. Also the Brioche de neuf was fav.

My previous review from 6 years ago was a mistake (I clicked on the wrong star). Sorry. Overall, a very nice restaurant.

Delicious food, good wines, great service, a truly wonderful outing!

Bistrot Neuf is a real dichotomy between awesome food and terrible service. While normally service isn’t a dealbreaker, it was over an hour between sitting down and our first course arriving. We considered if we somehow offended our waitress with our wine selection. The veal cheek in lentils was one of the best plates I’ve had.

Wonderful creative menu and excellent service

Food is fantastic but service could def be better. Beef tartare and escargot are amazing.

Delicious food! Original, full of flavor, and perfectly prepared. Friendly service and a great atmosphere. Highly recommended!

Simple, nice, a little expensive

A perfect experience from start to finish! Every dish, from the starter to the dessert, was absolutely delicious — special mention to the brioche neuf and the bisque, both exquisite. But the real added value was the outstanding service from the young man who looked after our table. From the moment we arrived to the end of the meal, he took incredible care of us with warmth and professionalism. A big thank you! We’ll definitely be back on our next visit to Amsterdam.

Nice place where you can also sit down later in the evening for a cheese board, for example. Wide range of wines by the glass and service with knowledge about the products. Will definitely come back here!

Great atmosphere, service and food!

Very good restaurant. Very friendly staff. I highly recommend

Good location and in the center. The meat is chic, the tartar is interesting, the foie gras is delicious, the brownie dessert is excellent, but the boisbez is passable, I don’t recommend it. The atmosphere is great and the selection of wines and prices are appropriate. Nice place for lunch.

Saw this restaurant by chance when I walked pass it, looked really interesting. So I decided to give it a try and was surprised, food was lovely, flavours were all pretty good. But a slight regret, I should have ordered ala carte rather than the tasting menu, cause portions were really small. But I still enjoyed the food and the service here was really good, staff were professional and attentive, made the whole experience really nice.

I think the waiter was a little rude after I said I didn't want to eat anything. I didn't want to eat anything because it's just not my type of food. Every dish had something I couldn't eat. My partner did enjoy their food. I tried it but it was very oily. I do recommend it if you enjoy expensive fine dining and quality liquor. The atmosphere is great, the decorations are very nice.

Great experience and great service. Amazing.

Nothing was impressive, neither the popular dish entrecôte, just very close to the centre.

Conviviality and a bit of standing go well together

We usually go to this great restaurant every year. This year frankly.... We are required to take a compulsory menu because there are 8 of us.. Starter and dishes really not as usual Not great service either There is a big challenge to be had for the whole team We hope for change for next year (to find what we know)

Really nice, fine dining experience with very fair prices. Nice staff, great decor and ambience. Would definitely recommend this for a night to remember.

Food was quite good. Nothing special, but tasty. We were served by 2 people. The lady was polite, then she must have left and a young gentleman took over, he was pretty arrogant. Manager was rudish to my mom being on the phone, but no word was said to other couple who had video chat prior to that and to a very loud men group of 6 later. They were so loud, we couldn’t even hear each other. We had high hopes. I would not go to this place twice.

Big 10!!! The food is great, masterful wines and the service is top notch, this was a perfect evening. Many thanks also to Rianne, she made our evening!

Qué hermoso restaurante. Ya comimos, así que solo queríamos caracoles y ostras. Botella de vino. Desafortunadamente no podíamos pagar el champán. La comida era increíble realmente disfrutar. El personal estaba un poco desinteresado, ya que tal vez no era comprar las cosas más caras en el menú. Que es lo mismo que defraudó la comida. Me llevé a mi hija porque era su cumpleaños. ¿Placas sucias quedaron en nuestra mesa hasta que pagamos la cuenta? Trabajo en la venta al por menor, así no es como se trata a la gente agradable.

Enjoyed dinner with girlfriends at cafe Neuf a month ago. Definitely recommend this place. Food was delicious, the wine lost lovely and staff attentive.

Food was amazing however inattentive service and left much to be desired. Disappointing service.

Great place, a real restaurant and chef near the railway station, with amazing food and a wine list thicker than the Bible

This is a nice place. The food is good, though not excellent. Staff is really nice, especially Anna, she made us feel very welcome with her genuine smile and personal approach. The place is nicely decorated, but to my taste they put in too many tables which makes it rather noisy inside. Sometimes it was hard to have a conversation without raising your voice which is a bit of a shame if you pay these kind of prices. Overall a nice experience though.

We hadden een lunch voor 4 personen gereserveerd en het is ons zeer goed bevallen. Leuk, informele kader, mooie presentatie van de heerlijke gerechten, vriendelijk en behulpzaam personeel. Het voldeed volledig aan onze ‘Franse’ verwachtingen. Kortom: sterwaardig, laat de Michelin-inspecteurs maar komen!

Amazing staff, great selection of wine and great French food. Recommended for a nice dinner with group or for date night.

Were here for my brother's birthday. Very good service and the food was really delicious. Special thanks to our waiter, he was very friendly and it was also his last evening he said, so thanks to him. And thank you very much for this nice experience!!!

We had a lovely evening at this restaurant, which boasts a fantastic atmosphere—warm, inviting, and perfect for a relaxed dining experience. Our waitress was exceptional: attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, especially when it came to recommending wines that paired perfectly with our meal. Her suggestions elevated our experience and made us feel very welcome. For my main course, I opted for the entrecôte. While it was cooked well and seasoned nicely, I found the quality of the meat itself to be somewhat average. That said, the rest of the experience more than made up for it. The menu offers a diverse range of dishes, and for Amsterdam standards, the prices are reasonable and align well with the overall ambiance and quality of the service. We thoroughly enjoyed our evening and would return for the great atmosphere and top-notch service.

Feedback: The restaurant was much too warm, the air was not extracted properly, it seems. Once outside you smell as if you were having a gourmet meal with 100 people. It's strange that you are asked in advance by email not to put on perfume, with a predominant cooking smell it really doesn't matter anymore... Keep in mind that your clothes/coat have to be dry cleaned (fine if it only concerns you in the washing machine). ). Positive: The Dutch-speaking ladies in the service were sincere, very personable and friendly. Unfortunately, the English-speaking lady at the counter turned out to be mainly concerned with (wine) upselling, etc. Unnecessary, but whatever. We shared a number of starters, which tasted great. Skrei and an entrecôte was shared with bordelaise sauce, fries and lettuce with Parmesan cheese on top. Please don't do the latter. We all didn't fall over backwards because of the dishes, it was fine. We were very disappointed with the bill, especially because of the prices of the wines by the glass. Normally not a problem if you have had a really pleasant evening with top dishes and wine. This was a tight 7, all in all. Neuf Amsterdam was a one-off for us, but it is a great bistro.

What delicious food. Wines are top but pricey. We were helped by Erica. What a wonderful experience and she is so knowledgeable (and personable)

Tof restaurant met een klassieke kaart. Op aanraden van een collega hier heen gegaan. Heerlijk gerechten, mooie wijnen en een relaxte sfeer. Zeker een aanrader. Wij komen terug

Great experience, the staff is attentive, the dish is succulent, French cuisine as we like, very varied wine list. I highly recommend.

We had such a beautiful afternoon and evening here. The food was divine. Lovely atmosphere. Attentive and kind service. Why did we wait so long to return? Cannot wait to come back. Thank-you for everything. What wonderful chefs and staff.

A beautiful evening in Amsterdam in a very good restaurant.

Excellent experience. High level service and cuisine.

Delicious burger with fries, good atmosphere and pleasant service

We celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary here at Neuf. The food was delicious and the staff very friendly. They also took my husband's onion allergy into account (bad experiences with many restaurants, but not here). Not only do they think along carefully, they also replace the onion with another ingredient so that the dish still tastes delicious! All in all, the food was delicious, although on the pricey side, but that's OK for the products they use.

A bit disappointing. We were able to book a table for Friday evening the day before. When we arrived we were greeted in a friendly way and given a nice table. After about 10 minutes the sommelier, asked if we wanted to see the wine menu, but we were not given the food menu's. So we decided to just have a glass of wine, since we had no idea what we were going to be eating. I further found the way that the sommelier acted was a bit arrogant and patronising. I can maybe understand it if he would be working in a 3 Michelin star restaurant, but not in a bistro.. The food was fine, bouillabaisse, tartare de boeuf and goose liver for starter were fine. We decided to have the special of the day, which was a beef Wellington for two. As it was for two, I expected it to be a small Wellington or similar, but I was surprised when they just served two slices of Wellington on a plate. Why did this have to be ordered for two people? It came with some salad and fries. The beef was nicely cooked, but the pastry was very soggy and for some reason they had wrapped the inside layer (which I assume was a crepe) with lettuce leaves, which was a first for me in a Wellington. So I was not blown away, and my son told me he preferred the Wellington I make at home.. My wife's bouillabaisse was fine. She did throw up all night, but we are not sure what caused that, and as I had the same thing as a starter and I had no issues, I don't think it was the bouillabaisse. But overall, we left with mixed feelings, and I am not in a hurry to return.

We were welcomed as a family with ease and warm cordiality. Excellent service, with cuisine close to a Michelin star. The little touches and politeness from the waitresses/waiters. A very nice place to enjoy yourself, a great discovery, I would go back there sometime!

Delicious dishes from a great kitchen but also, above all, great service!

Too bad I can't give more than 5 stars. Impeccable service, but the dishes prepared by the chef reign supreme. An explosion of flavours, and real little works of art. Compliments!

Our favorite place to go for dinner in Amsterdam. We often come down from Rotterdam for the night to visit Amsterdam and just can’t resist not going here. The whole team is so nice, have a lot of knowledge about all the products and create a very nice and welcoming atmosphere. The food is to die for. The chefs in the kitchen really nailed it. The flavours are amazing and the dishes are really well put together and presented. My absolute favorite is the lamb, when it’s on the menu. I would recommend this place to anyone if you are looking for a cozy night with a lot of ambience, outstanding service and amazing high quality dishes.

Very warm welcome, very pleasant waiters and waitresses, very good food and a large choice of wines. I recommend this restaurant!

place was great and staff friendly and price was really good, would recommend

Experience: Magnifique! The cuisine is truly French, I tried the best tartare in Amsterdam. Helpful and kind staff, I was treated very well even though I was alone Extraordinary, full-bodied and quality Prosecco. New customer for you. Grazie mille

The place is fantastic. I ordered the Steak Tartar, Portobello mushroom and aubergine toast. It's finger-licking-good. Definitely recommended 👌 👍

Great atmosphere, service and food. Recommend the entrecôte

The restaurant is beautiful and quiet. The service is excellent. I ordered steak, appetizers, and tiramisu. Honestly, the chef wins. He was creative in mixing the flavors in each dish and had a distinctive taste. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Chef.

Nice place to eat, with an impressive wine list. The service is Dutch-speaking and familiar with their own wines, so you also get sensible advice. Tip for the kitchen brigade. Don't overcomplicate the classics. The steak tartare is tasty, but better without all the fuss. That disrupts the mouthfeel. Same with the brioche with duck liver (or was it goose). Fairly sweet. Keep it pure. Furthermore, the charcuterie is highly recommended.

Perfectly measured portions for the four-course menu, friendly staff and good service. Only a slightly too small space in the separate seating area, especially if there are 10 people in it and everyone is trying to chat at the loudest. Can be disruptive.

ABSOLUTELY 100% RECOMMENDED!!! The steak tartar is AMAZING, the attention, dedication of the cheff, food, everything is 5 stars... tycho was super kind. we are coming again

Food delicious, wines superb, service knows what they are doing and recommends it. Was perfect. Recommended: ask for the other dessert wine with the chocolate dessert. Only by the bottle but absolutely divine

Very good French cuisine. Truly exceptional was the escargot.

Beautiful experience. Well done

Overall a superb French experience in Amsterdam. I had dinner with a friend here earlier in the year, the atmosphere is cozy and warm. I had the Dover sole with beurre noisette, pilaf rice with dried fruit and nuts. The sole was soft and flaky, and I liked the contrast in texture and flavor with the rice. Dessert was great too, although I don't like raspberry, the chocolate mouse was very rich.

I only had drinks. But it's nice. The decoration and cleanliness.

What a gem in Amsterdam! Amazing wine list and the food!! Top!

everything we had was amazing. wine suggestions were spot on and reasonably priced

Excellent New French cuisine! Exists wine and superb deserts!

This is my favorite restaurant in Amsterdam. The food is impeccable, and the service is absolutely beyond words. The entrecote is absolutely beautiful. I've had four of my favorite meals ever at Bistrot Neuf and can't wait to go back.

Food was great! And the service too.

This place was excellent. The food and the service were great.

The place immediately gives a good impression, the maitre d' in fact aims to immediately pamper the customer by having his coats handed to him and accompanying him to the table with a smile. The environment has an open kitchen and both high and low seats, furthermore there is also the possibility of eating at the counter. However, the excellent service from all the staff left me with some doubts about the food: while the escargot and chicken were good and well-executed dishes, I found the tartare very unbalanced. In fact, the black garlic and onion were very predominant and completely numbed my mouth throughout the meal. For the rest, however, an interesting place. Slightly overpriced (€80 per person for 2 dishes each and a bottle of red for 4).

Excellent all round. I had dinner here last night with a friend for the first time and, what a pleasant surprise. We had the 3-course menu, quite well priced given the quality of the food. The wine pairing was excellent and they were flexible given that I didn’t want the full pairing. The service was pleasant and flawless and the atmosphere lovely, warm and comfortable. I will definitely be back!

Delicious food and great service. Nice wine list. Fresh oysters. All around a good meal from starters to dessert . We would return.

Recently had dinner at Neuf with former colleagues and it was an excellent experience. We started with an aperitif of champagne and three different types of oysters, all of which were delicious. We then enjoyed various dishes, all well-seasoned and prepared with care. The service was really excellent and the staff very welcoming. The value for money was reasonable, all in all appropriate for the experience. The location, a short distance from Amsterdam Central Station, also makes it very accessible. Definitely recommended!

Had a delicious late lunch. You will see us again soon for an extensive dinner!!

We ate a truly delicious and varied 5-course surprise menu. Definitely come back again!

Ristorante molto buono. Menu’ variegato. Personale molto professionale e cordiale. Esperienza positiva condivisa con un gruppo di amici. Si mangia sia pesce che carne. Molto buoni anche gli antipasti e i dolci.

Siamo arrivati per caso.. una bellissima sorpresa Abbiamo preso il menù dello chef con 2 3 piatti a scelta. Eccezionali. Buoni, raffinati e con sapori eccellenti Anche il cibo italiano Da provare!!

Realmente no tengo ni idea de por qué este restaurante está altamente calificado, ya que la comida estaba lejos de ser sabrosa. El menú es un poco pobre. La única parte agradable fue la porción.

Great restaurant with great dishes!, will definitely come here again

Our experience here on Aug 11 was 10 out of 10. My son had the chef four course menu and I ordered lobster ravioli and lamb chops, all came in over our expectations. We also shared escargots. We highly recommend this restaurant to anyone that likes to have a fine dining experience. The waitress was friendly and attentive, but not overwhelming. The bathroom was clean and well maintained. All in all, we were very happy.

Food is soooo delicious! Service is very good and speedy too!

Excellent food. Fresh oysters (Irish) delicious monkfish. Apparently the business was taken over fairly recently

Tenía el menú degustación para la cena. El servicio fue excelente y cada curso fue inventivo. Una de nuestras cenas favoritas en Amsterdam.

First of all, thank you to the chef, he is a close and friendly person, and also the atmosphere is very calm and pleasant. Everything you choose is going to be good, but I would highlight the rib that I attached in the photos, each ingredient was so good as to bring a tear to your eye. The price depends on the quality of life in the city, taking into account the food the price is very correct. I highly recommend going and listening to the chef's recommendations.

We absolutely loved our dinner at Bistro Neuf. We chose to eat outside on the sidewalk. We ordered the lamb rack and steak frites. Both were cooked perfectly. Service was excellent. The value was also good. I highly recommend this place and hope to eat there again on my next trip to Amsterdam.

Absolutely amazing, food quality is really good! Ambience and service, we really enjoyed the duck liver/lobster brioche, unique and so tasty.

Stayed in Amsterdam for 1-2 days and stumbled upon this restaurant. We had the steak tartare, escargot & monkfish. The monkfish was the best one we’ve had and it might even be the best fish we’ve had. Highly recommend if you want good French food.

Fabuloso almuerzo en este restaurante muy limpio y cómodo. El servicio era excelente y la comida era de muy alta calidad - excelente chef!

This place is absolutely amazing!!! You have to try the bistro neuf fois gras.. it is out of this world!! Great hospitality and wine.

Nice place with good gourmet food, amazing wine list, very polite service despite a busy schedule! A little bit to crowded and noisy, but if you are in a big company, won’t be a problem

The halibut with baby squid, saffron fideua, roasted bellpepper, and a garlic almond sauce was very, very good. The foamy sauce tasted amazing and made it look like a delicacy. Tasteful modern yet warm interior. Thanks, guys!I'll be back.

The Lamb Is fantastic. I really recommend it.

Mediocre restaurant, very arrogant and inept service. We ordered the lamb neck because we had seen it at the neighbors and it looked good. A beautiful piece of pink lamb neck. However, we received a bad piece of meat, completely overcooked and small and almost unfinished. The same dishes that came off the pass looked completely different. After indicating this we got a piece of MUCH BETTER meat on another plate. When we asked for recognition we were met with a turned up nose, extremely arrogant and incompetent. No apology but a lame story about supplier A and B. That was really a stupid thing to discuss. Garnish was also poor, limp and tasteless, both for the lamb neck and lobster. By the way, everything else was great and we were helped well with the wine. Nevertheless, we had a bad evening because you couldn't even apologize. 2 espressos on the bill would have been enough and compensated with a tip, some catering staff can see that. We are your guests, not the other way around, and we felt unwelcome. Perhaps we had not made enough of an impression because we drank tap water and house wine. Finally, no thank you when paying by card (150 euros) and not being able to say "goodbye" when leaving. Embarrassing for you. Photos for comparison: Ours vs. a photo of someone who had gone to dinner the day before. Anyone with eyes can see (unless you work at Bistrot Neuf) that we received a bad dish.

Very beautiful after the renovation. We had a delicious meal here!

Excellent service. Beautiful food. Very yummy

An absolute gem!! This little cosy restaurant is a bit off the beaten path but an amazing find! Food was so delicious and service was impeccable!! A must go!

Cannot express how nice of an evening myself and my friends had here. The dinner was amazing, everything was so flavourful and fresh. Really recommend getting the escargot. Service was a 12/10, the staff were very informative about the food and wine and were so nice especially Anna. Price was actually surprisingly reasonable for the quality of food and service you receive. Would definitely recommend.

Atmosphere is so cozy and chill, I loved it. The food is fantastic and the service is beyond perfect.

The food was very good but their AC was out and instead of having a fan going (at least!) we were seated in back area- lovely but a sweat box - we were then moved to the bar area a good 10 degrees cooler but seated in cheap vinyl bar stool and not table cloth at a Formica plastic table (yeah more sweat) we didn’t leave because this is one of those places you’ve got to put a deposit down to get a table so it would have cost us 50. And being Saturday night getting another place last minute would have been impossible ….while the food and wine were good if the AC is out don’t pretend it isn’t a bad situation and let your customers know in advance so they can make other reservations on a Saturday night- Just not good form at all.

Best Bistro in Amsterdam Nice balance between traditional and modern cooking. Excellent service and wines by the glass.

Bad Service and Bad Baguette French people
