Black in Grachtengordel-Zuid

The restaurant is quite cozy inside and they have a beautiful terrace along the canal. The food was amazing, as well as the service. Highly recommended.

Wonderful breakfast. Had the scrambled egg and croissant- extremely tasty. Fantastic, friendly and attentive service. Will be back!

Great service and amazing food.

The stake was so tender! Really nice

Food was excellent! Atmosphere was also very nice. Not loud at all even though the restaurant was full. The wait staff was very friendly and we were seated quickly with a reservation. The only issue was that once we were seated and our order was taken and our food was brought, the staff never came back to the table. Not once. We waited for quite a while after our meal was done to get the check but no one came by then either. We actually had to flag down wait staff several times to get our check. That being our only issue the overall experience was very nice.

Had a delicious meal at a very reasonable price. The Angus burger was perfectly prepared and the spring chicken was also top-notch.

Deliciously tender piece of meat. Nice staff, friendly. We were early, but making a reservation guarantees a spot. Inside or outside by the canal.

Grabbed a bite for a late breakfast. Our server Lorraine was amazing, bless her managing tables inside and outside all on her own while keeping a smile on her face. Would definitely come again.

Great experience here! Most importantly, the FOOD! steak tartare and we both ordered steaks that were perfect; good sauces that were included too. Great wine list and the staff was lovely

I thought the food was delicious, we ordered fish en papillote which was divine! We received excellent service and were seated by the canal. What a perfect lunch!

The tmosphere, quite lovely. The staff is amazingly accommodating allow me to wait for the cozy table and I requested and made sure we were happ. We shared the steak for two which was cooked to perfection. They allowed us to enjoy our meal and take our time. A little noisy, but fun at the same time. only complaint was the servers were a little overwhelmed. Wait, quite a long time for our check once our meal was completed

We had a team dinner here, carpaccio was good, steak was good, I ordered medium rare and it’s real medium rare. Fries was OK, not that hot when served. Overall was good.

Amazing steak and personal so kind recommended

Super delicious food 😊 They cater well to allergies The service is great 👍🏼 We highly recommend it ☀️

The restaurant is very nice, the food is tasty, we got burgers - they were delicious

The service is superb, food is really good, delicious! Well worth it!

Nothing fancy about the place, just a straight forward cafe that serves quick and easy food. Place is great though to be able to people watch and relax by the canal.

Very nice restaurant in the southern part of central Amsterdam. The staff speak English and Spanish. I had an açai smoothie, an egg sandwich, and a raspberry pastry. Delicious! Outdoor terrace where you can smoke. Indoor seating as well

Always the best food and friendliest staff in all of Amsterdam. From the unlimited fries to great drinks and genuine smiles from those serving, this regular spot of mine earned its respect for a reason. Definite recommend.

It looks cozy, has a nice terrace and friendly service. Otherwise, tasty food and good drinks.

We booked through TheFork because of the 30% discount and thought it would be a good deal. Unfortunately, none of the food tasted good, the portions were small, and the lobster seemed to be poor quality. Some of the food also didn’t taste fresh, so even with the discount, it wasn’t worth the money. The staff were friendly and the service was good. However, we both had stomach pain after the meal, and I also developed diarrhoea. We can’t say for certain what caused it, but given the timing and how the food tasted, it was concerning. We wouldn’t recommend this restaurant.

Got the croque monsieur which was great! Service by Mario was amazing! Highly recommend!!!

We had to wait a very long time before we were served, even though the terrace wasn't very busy. The food was fine, but nothing more than that. However, the location by the water is nice, and the waitress (American, I believe) made up for it; she was very friendly.

Had a delicious meal. Definitely recommended.

A nice restaurant. The food was good. Nice atmosphere. It is on a busy street though.

During our trip to Amsterdam, we dined at Restaurant Black, and overall, the experience was decidedly positive. The real highlight is undoubtedly the location: eating in such a beautiful setting, right on the canals and in the heart of the city, greatly contributes to the evening's atmosphere. Especially on a beautiful summer evening, the setting is truly difficult to fault. We were also satisfied with the cuisine. The dishes we chose were well-prepared, carefully presented, and made with good-quality ingredients. The service was pleasant, and the atmosphere was modern and elegant, even suitable for a romantic dinner. There are, however, two aspects that, in my opinion, prevent it from earning a five-star rating. The first is the rather limited menu selection: we would have appreciated a few more options, especially considering the restaurant's caliber. The second, even more obvious, concerns the prices, which we found decidedly high even considering the prime location. Four stars: a very beautiful place, a truly superb canalside location, and excellent cuisine. However, you pay a lot for the location and, with a wider choice and slightly more balanced prices, the experience would have been even better.

Highly recommended a lunch spot if you are not in a rush, nice outdoor seating on the canal, food was excellent

We waited and waited. One sever had no clue what was happening and kept bumping into things.

Had a small lunch with 5 people yesterday. The food was delicious, and the service was friendly and enthusiastic. Highly recommended!

Cozy atmosphere and good food. Friendly staff. A place to come back to.

The staff were so friendly and helpful, spoke very good English and gave recommendations for food and drinks. Quick service and a nice spot by the canal.

We only intended to stop for a quick drink, but the comfortable outdoor seating made us linger longer. After being served some delicious snacks, we even ordered some food, which turned out to be a great choice. Despite the less-than-ideal weather, we stayed outside and soaked up the atmosphere of Prinsengracht and the street. The interior is also a lovely place for a relaxing evening. Highly recommended: the service and the menu.

Our server was pleasant, the food was alright, atmosphere was fantastic, drinks left a lot to be desired. They were out of the wine I’d ordered, so I tried a classic cocktail. Because they didn’t have cocktail onions, I wasn’t able to enjoy a gin Gibson, so I ordered a dirty vodka martini. The bartender refused to make anything off menu, so I ordered a vodka on ice and olive juice. Most of their drinks are pretty sweet and I’d have really rather just had the wine. What I was served was vodka rocks and olive oil. I ordered a water and didn’t finish the drink.

The prices are pretty expensive for the experience that you get. Food is ok but service not what expected

Very friendly young lady serving

Interesting restaurant. We stopped for refreshment. Friendly service, reasonable prices. Good beer.

Mega great, I recommend it 👍👍👍👍

The servers are rude and impatient, the food is VERY expensive (which isn’t the main problem) the food tasted awful. Cheapest tomatoes and burrata I have ever had, and worst scallops i’ve ever eaten. The cherry on top, the waitress was very rude and disrespectful.

The ribeye steak is absolutely incredible with the butter creating the perfect blend of juicy and tenderness. The bruschetta was delicious with a perfect blend of flavors.

Fantastic service even though it was very late. Food was great as well.

A small bistro in the heart of Amsterdam, along the canals, the menu is typically bistro-style with a vaguely French influence. The location was particularly pleasant for the canal view and the young, lively atmosphere.

Everything was great. The food, the drinks, the staff, the atmosphere... on point. Highly recommend you go there, you won't be disappointed.

We decided to stop in while staying at the Andaz a block away. A great decision. Our servers were so personable and efficient and the food was excellent. We sat in the window seat to watch the sights. We Plan on stopping her fot breakfast. Wish we lived closer. But Kentucky is our home.

We had a delicious meal and the staff were friendly. The service was prompt, we never had to wait long for our order, and they always consulted with us about when we wanted our next course.

Great food and amazing service!

Even as a kid, this place really got to my heart, I felt like a new man with their food. I recommend their mussels because it’s majestic and a great serving size and truly has a meaningful purposes when eating. And even if you don’t feel like you can eat all of it, it’s a great snack to share to some friends. This is the first restaurant I’ve been in from getting in Amsterdam and I truly recommend this to all the people. This atmosphere that they have going on is incredible. They got some playback music going in the background and every seat is nice and cozy. Hope all of the next people who come here have a similar stay as myself.

Tremendous food, excellent (and charming!) service. The haddock was the best dish I've had in Europe, and the unlimited fries are like BOOM! Awesome place with amazing atmosphere.

Beautiful restaurant and amazing food. Friendly staff!

We sat outside, very nice and comfy sofa. Very good service from the girl with curly hair. She was very polite, in a good mood, nice and helpful! Good food, and the icecream is fantastic! Only thing I would say is the bathroom was very hot, but it was peak summer weather.

Good meat and nice staff. Fries unlimited..very nice touch!

We had a burger, which was exceptionally good, as were the fries and the salad. The menu was very varied overall, and the service was top-notch. Highly recommended.

Nicolas the waiter was really nice!! 🤗

Great food, friendly staff, and a cozy patio along the canal. They were able to safely serve us with a peanut/nut allergy.

We are very lucky to be accomodated no reservation on the 3rd of June 2026!Our server Daniel are very attentive to get our order as we started with Shrimps and Mussel and grilled fish and Aperol for drink!and ended with a dessert!

Really nice place! I had a date here about six months ago, and the evening went smoothly. It took a little while for us to get our menus and food, but other than that, the staff were friendly and the food was delicious. Overall, a great experience!

Exceptional!👏👏 Food, drinks, decor, location, service!👌 Congratulations on the quality of the ingredients and the friendliness of the staff! I recommend👌

Our young waiter asked my husband's opinion several times and never once looked at me. Very insulting!

Small portion. Slow service. A somewhat shabby location.

We’ve been to this restaurant twice now and it’s a definite yes for each time we now visit Amsterdam. We generally do brunch here and the portions are big so we often share something. The atmosphere is lovely, nice music and friendly staff. Definitely worth a visit

The location is superb. The service is also good, not bad. It's a great place to take a break and then continue on your way.

I enjoyed restaurant black, they had delicious food and excellent service. We went in the early evening of a Saturday and sat inside near the front window. Great views and delicious food.

It was a really nice and cute place. We were traveling from the USA. Everything was delicious !

We found this restaurant on our final evening in Amsterdam, such a shame we didn’t find it earlier. Service was great and the guy was extremely nice and polite. Food was absolutely delicious and all three of us cleared our plates. The atmosphere was great too and prices were reasonable. Certainly recommend. Five Stars

Great food, and staff. Could use a little polish.

Nice staff, very great steak,the music is a little to loud

Zero service. 40 minutes and haven’t approached/welcomed or asked me if I would like to order food.

Great for a quick stopover. The food was delicious and the staff very friendly.

The food, the vibe, and the service, all perfect. I’d go again tonight if I could!

The server guy was a nice fella - the girl was not particularly friendly; ordered the burger- meat was good but it came with a burnt (not char, burnt) brioche bun that affected the flavor; fries were decent, with mayo. Side salad was overdressed and difficult to eat due to the bowl size- it kept spilling out of the bowl, and you have no idea what’s in it at the bottom. The wait staff never returned to check on me, and in fact had to get up and find the waiter for my check. Fairly average overall, but they do have an area with tables next to the canal that’s nice if you’re here for drinks.

Very rude. For drinks they asked us to step outside.

If you're in Amsterdam and want to enjoy delicious coffee, you've come to the right place. The coffee is truly delicious.

An amazing restaurant. A super pleasant atmosphere with top-notch service! Friendly, kind, and incredibly attentive. They speak Spanish, English, German, Dutch, and French. We were able to bring our dog in for dinner, and they even brought him some water. The food was delicious. High quality in every aspect. 100% recommended!!

We had reserved a table for four people; upon arrival, we were seated at a high table where cardboard boxes were placed under the bench/half in front of our feet, a power strip was pulled sideways, and the table wobbled. Since we were meeting clients and, despite our reservation, were not offered another table, we left the restaurant immediately.

This restaurant has a very cozy atmosphere and serves cocktails that are definitely worth trying. We had a good dinner, but the ribeye steak we ordered rare was actually overcooked. The unlimited fries took a while to arrive at the table. As for the service, we had a charming and helpful waiter.

Had a lovely time sitting by the window, quick and friendly service. Nice quiet atmosphere, it was quiet.

Very expensive for what you get

Just imagine going out for dinner with two girlfriends, ordering a bottle of wine, two entrecôtes, and the fish of the day, and then, before your girlfriends can finish their food, the bill is slammed down on the table with the remark "your reservation has ended, you must pay and vacate the table," followed immediately by another waiter with the card machine. Unbelievable. No "apologies for the inconvenience," no concern for time management or table occupancy (there were several other tables available where we could have sat, for example). It was only because I called the waitress back over and pressed her on what was going on that we received an explanation along the lines of "yes, I understand, it happens quite often, but it is two hours later now and we have to vacate the table," and only when I pointed out that nothing was mentioned on the website or in the reservation regarding a time limit did an apology finally come out. We had to ask ourselves if we could take our glasses and food outside to sit there for the rest of the meal (and honestly, to recover from feeling overwhelmed). We received the unfriendly response: "Yes, you do have to bring your own glasses, because I won't remember to bring them." And they never brought the food outside for us. Unbelievable for a restaurant of this caliber. It really isn't the same as before; some young gentleman is the new manager here now, and I'm not coming back. Last year was top-notch, but now you get seated outside in the middle of the main course. And once outside, we counted the tables inside every now and then; we could easily have stayed seated. Or could it be because my friends didn't speak Dutch, nor are they? -Yuck.

The food is very good, what I liked the most is the sweet potato curry.

Excellent quality and service. Highly recommended.

Excellent service, steak not as tender as expected, good salad.

Great choice, delicious food, and good service.

Amazing food, amazing staff, would highly recommend!

We had a wonderful time! The staff were incredibly friendly, and the food exceeded our expectations: we've never eaten such delicious meat!! If we're ever back in the Netherlands, we'll definitely return!

The food was generally delicious, the restaurant had a nice atmosphere, and the staff were friendly. I booked through The Fork and received a discount.

Great restaurant. Stylish and very friendly service. The seating is a bit close together, which makes it a little noisy at times. But you can still have a good conversation. Not recommended for noise-sensitive people in the evenings. The meat was excellent, and we loved the original side dishes.

We went here 3-4 times already as get 50% discounts from the forks. I like environment even it a bit too small. Just feel drop a bit last time visit as get table close with kitchen and bin (a bit too noise) and my stack cook a bit too much.

Wow!!! What a good choice for dinner tonight!! Amazing food - oysters and olives to start- A delicious dinner of Haddock in papillote and Mussels- the mussels were so delicious with the broth and vegetables and such a generous portion !! side order of seasonal vegetables and the crispiest fries - perfect!!! Our server Gonzalo was professional, personable and SO busy as the restaurant filled up! Never missed a beat!! Really recommend this place for dinner!!

“Good location and decor, but the dishes didn’t match the price point.”

A calm, cozy and beautifully arranged restaurant, with delicious and fresh food, served by smiling young people with a good mood and a smile!

Incredible place. Great cuisine, service and presentation of the dishes. We visited the place after making a reservation, and we were seated inside, but there are tables outside, with a view of the canal, I guess for cocktails and drinks. Quite a good location, in the city center, but it is in a quiet and peaceful street. The salads and the main course are great - tender veal and incredibly well-cooked fish, great wine. The most delicious ending to the dinner was the chocolate crumble, which is one of the best I have ever tried. I highly recommend it.

Refined atmosphere with friendly and helpful staff. Excellent and tasty burger with blue cheese. A must-try.

Very tight, difficult to push between tables.

The food was good, but the service was disastrous. We were seated at a table in the middle of the aisle, while several tables for two were available in better locations. When we asked for another table, we were refused because it was reserved (we had also made a reservation, and they arrived more than an hour later). So we were left in a draft, and to top it off, we had sauce spilled all over our clothes and coats by a waitress—a great way to start our trip.

Best dining experience in Amsterdam

Lovely experience at restaurant Black! Well executed and I think I like this concept better than bleu or red.The special with teriyaki beef was so so tender and flavorfull! Would definitely come back!

Lovely place! Great service and food!

We booked a table through a fork app to use our points. The waiters were very nice, but they all seemed new and didn't know what the app was. They were talking loudly on the platform, which made us uncomfortable. We ordered two drinks and appetizers and left. The total came to only about 3 euros, which was very cheap, but a little awkward. The bread was a bit dry, but the mulled wine was delicious.

Great spot for a late lunch during a cold holiday shopping day. Great food and delicious seasonal beer.

Cozy restaurant, good food, only small details are overlooked due to the crowds. But that doesn't detract from your experience.

The food was delicious, but the atmosphere was unfortunately much worse than last year. We were out within an hour. They didn't ask if everything was to our liking, and they barely looked at us, so unfortunately, it was our last visit.
