Brasserie Margaux in Apollobuurt

The overall experience at this restaurant was underwhelming. The service was quite slow, and the staff appeared inattentive. There was also an issue with the bill, where items we hadn’t ordered were included. When we raised the concern, the response lacked professionalism

Great service, good food and a beautiful atmosphere.

If diners think this is good French food, you have no idea! First visit, when it first opened was great; subsequent visit OMG so mediocre...still high prices served with mediocrity on a plate! If you can't get a simple Nicoise salad right (instead of tasting like cheap supermarket ingredients), there's something seriously wrong here. Staff and atmosphere are satisfactory but it is the terrace that tempts diners as it is just such a great marketing 'facade'. Garcon, the sister restaurant is much the same...WAY overpriced mediocrity expanding exponentially taking over good retail spots. That pretty much sums up most of Beethovenstraat's and Oud Zuid's dining scene with a couple of exceptions, really...... C'est dommage!

Slow service. Ridiculously overpriced wines, missing a start of around €30,-. Advice from the sommolier was a wine of €95,- which is actually scandalous and bad advice.

Op een zonnige lente avond heerlijk gegeten op dit leuke terras aan de Beethovenstraat. Mooie wijnen, klassieke gerechten en vriendelijke bediening!

The brasserie is located in a nice part of Amsterdam. You can eat outside on the terrace in the sun or inside. The tables are laid classically. The service is attentive and neat. They have a very extensive wine list. If you want to go crazy, you can also select a top wine for a few hundred euros. The menu is delicious and something for everyone. We had oysters as an appetizer and a delicious Steak au Poivre. In addition, a nice and mixed audience that comes to stay here.

Top wine bar, haven't tried the food but it looks like it will be quite ok. Nice service, nice wine list, top location.

Delicious food, everything was really great! Also had good service. We will definitely come back!

Foie gras is still on the menu in 2025. Not up to date, do not contribute to extreme animal suffering and avoid this restaurant.

Originele plek om te lunchen of dineren. Eten is van goede kwaliteit. Bij mooi weer is het mogelijk om op het terras te lunchen. Terras is redelijk afgeschermd met schermen tegen weersinvloeden. Reserveren is aan te raden om bijvoorbeeld niet aan de bar te hoeven eten.

Indicating your wishes on the site if, for example, you have a lactose problem is pointless. Not taken into account in any way. They come up with something on the spot which ends in a dry mouthful of nothing. It wasn't busy so that was no excuse. Just too much Amsterdam-South arrogance with a hint of disdain. We see this more and more often in Amsterdam. Food was ok. Brioche with six pieces of chicken, a layer of avocado sauce and a lettuce leaf...17 euros.

Great classic French food, excellent wines.

We hadden hier lunch, ontvangst vriendelijk, maar ga niet voorin zitten als het winter is, ondanks de tochtdeur komt er vreselijk veel kou naar binnen. Als je eenmaal zit is het soms moeilijk de aandacht van het bedienend personeel te trekken. De rose cremant van Poepel is bijzonder mals in de mond, heel smakelijk. De brioche met foie gras was de 25 euro bij lange na niet waard, de paling bovenop het minieme plakje foie gras overheerste en was ook nog eens te koud. De kroketjes met comte kaas waren laf van smaak, je proeft amper de kaas en is de naam kroket niet eens waardig want gemaakt met een of andere dikke deeglaag eromheen. Bah. De Caesar salade was perfect, smakelijk en rijk gevuld. De steak tartaar komt zonder frites, die moet je apart bij bestellen en betalen, raar. De bestelde truffel zat er niet op en moest nog gehaald worden. 35 euro voor een steak tartaar met wat truffel maar zonder frites is echt veel te duur. De ambities van een grande brasserie worden hier (nog) niet waargemaakt.

Daniel and the team were amazing - thanks a ton for the hospitality!

Brioche eel and foie gras is a must! Daan the bartender is a real host. Had a wonderful evening!

Vriendelijke ontvangst, alles was zogenaamd gereserveerd dus we werden in een klein hoekje naast de voordeur gedirigeerd aan een bistrotafeltje en ongelukkige stoeltjes. Vlotte gastheer maar die verdween verder uit beeld en werden bediend door een schooljongens van hooguit 17 die heel erg zijn best deed maar zero horeca ervaring had. Hadden er al eens eerder gegeten een paar maanden geleden, inmiddels hebben ze de prijzen gigantisch verhoogd. De steak au poivre is nu opeens 36€ ((Was in augustus nog 26 of 28€...) en daar komt dan nog frites bij à 6 € en sla à 6€ bij= 48€. Niet bepaald bistro prijzen. Echter uitstekende steak met verrukkelijke pepersaus. Vooraf 3 karige coquilles, ook verder goed maar ook weer tegen een heftige prijs (24€). De wijnen gaan minstens 3 à 4x over de kop en zo kost de goedkoopste Sancerre 72€. Past totaal niet in de Franse bistro filosofie van juist de toegankelijkheid van het genre. Zo kom je met z'n tweeën zonder dessert met een fles water en 2 espresso uit op een denderende 240€. En of dat het dan waard was gezeten aan een wankel tafeltje met een kind in de bediening..... Bij het weggaan om 20.30 uur was overigens hooguit 20% van de tafels bezet, dus hoezo 'alles is gereserveerd...'

A classic place it’s always a must on a trip, but my experience was disappointing the quality of the meat was not what I say premium, the service was not at the level either looks like the waitress was kind of tired of attending new people. Been in better places at least in terms of customer service

Great place, food and service. A bit too crowded for Wednesday night, but it makes sense - the place is popular

Excellent service. Good food. Pleasant table companions. Nothing spectacular as far as food goes. €560 for 3 courses for 4 people.

We were truly taken care of by Chef Michael at the Chef’s Table - it was such an unforgettable dining experience! With front row seats, we saw how Chef Michael and his team prepared each dish with passion and precision. We loved each dish especially the oysters, langoustine and duck! If you’re lucky you may even get to try his signature dessert. Can’t recommend it enough!

De entourage, de sfeer, het eten, alles heel fijn a la France. Wijn en ook de menukaart echt frans georiënteerd maar absoluut in orde, bediening losjes, af en toe wat joviaal maar prima. Wat mij betreft Echt een aanrader !

Delicious food, friendly service, could be a little more attentive when it comes to orders in between. But it was rightly super full. Enjoyed!

It's a good place. Not excellent - the devil is in details. + steak tartare had good balance of acid and saltiness + tenderloin was juicy and the pepper sauce was goos + waitress was nice and friendly + inside was quite cozy - why would tartare come w/o yolk and sauce? Why do I have to pay 30eur for this - noone offered us a bread basket. Which is nonsense when you serve escargot and all the herbs and butter need smth to collect - feels like i was cheated on lobster's claws - there is definitely more meat in those - waited 10 mins to pay after we got a bill - light on the wall was blinking, which was quite annoying

Delicious food, the French atmosphere is reflected in everything and a business with staff who show genuine interest and attention to the customer. When we actually wanted to order the vegetables separately from another dish on the menu, the service immediately went to see what they could arrange with the kitchen.

Went to dinner with colleagues. The food was certainly good but the price/quality ratio was a bit out of balance. The wines were also relatively expensive. With the dessert (cheese board) no explanation was given about the presented pieces of cheese. All in all not bad but too expensive for what you get.

What an asset! 'Dad's' been on the road for a year and a half, but what a well-oiled machine. Some surprising dishes on the menu and a great experience because of the trio of chefs led by Driss. The Chef's Table is often the best place for a fun evening, but this one will undoubtedly stick around for a while. The extremely relaxed atmosphere and beautiful menu colored our evening in the combination with the nice connection with the kitchen. Definitely do it - we will be back!

Had a delicious meal with my wife on Christmas Eve. It's nice and cozy. The Brioche with eel and Foie Gras was delicious, as was the steak tartare. The Duck Breast was one of the tastiest I have eaten to date, super tender and well seasoned. During this busy evening, the service was friendly and exuded calm. This was also noticeable during dinner. Highly recommended! We look forward to visiting Willams Farmhouse soon.

We hebben hier gedineerd . Ziet er leuk uit. De zaak is verdeeld in 2 ruimtes. Heel anders qua stijl maar allebei leuk. Het tussen gedeelte met uitzicht op de trap is zeer ongezellig om te zitten. Eten vonden wij prima maar niet bijzonder. Service was matig. Voor ons niet voor herhaling vatbaar.

….oddly enough one of the reviews shows proof of double standards of giving an other guest cancel on terrible served wine One that should be added to dessert wines being so sweet and bad tasting The have to open a bottle for you to try wine of choice. So if you decided you didn’t like the taste the restaurant has the risk of ending up with an open bottle. Unpleasantly they still charged the whole bottle. We tried maybe 1-3 sips and it was way too sweet. The response was very cynical and arrogant. As we didn’t expect it to be soo sweet everyone can make a mistake. We behaved decently and I took 1-2 sips same as testing to find out that it was out of balance Wine is at its best with its poured into proper size wine glass but the guy didn’t get it….while they sell over 50+ wines. Nonetheless it shouldn’t be such a hassle if someone asks kindly ! Will you respond the same to someone prestige if they ask for a glass that is more suitable? I’m half convinced it wouldn’t….as Dutch people are pretty demanding in such places After having starter, main and desert this was a slap in the face. If we mentioned and agreed to taste the wine beforehand they would end up with an open bottle as well…. Yet they decided to charge this bottle so tipping was not the right thing to do anymore. AFFER Not mentioning they would charge the not so nicely tasting wine and they seemed annoyed from the start! I been to Paris many times and never stumbled upon arrogant behaviour bc the French deliver unlike these socially uneducated restaurant staff If you wanna be all French and really be a decent restaurant learn from the hospitality in Paris! I had potatoes out of the oven spring 2024 yet the server passive aggressively told me they didn’t carry it for about a year….which is obviously not true. While I clearly told her french fries and potatoes out of the oven. She faulted me why she was just so busy as my friend overheard me ordering clearly….the lady in question bluntly said I was lying ! How do you even discuss with a quest ? The food is partly great; meat dishes are fresh. Don’t take the add-one of truffel it’s tasteless. Paying 15 euro for truffle that has no taste…even on my fries is a pretty bad Starter with caviar not any taste either….as caviar is pretty salty and flavourful Very bland Green salad were just leaves while before was served with haricots verts and radishes. Making it special and suitable for the overall menu and pricing. So actually they are serving less for the same price But the service is not a match with the greatness of Parisian cuisine and the warmness of the French people. Believe it or not even middle class restaurant are the most welcoming and service oriented places in France Staff is unprofessional and complaining loudly. . I guess they are nice to people who fit the look of “old money” or I don’t know why you would be so rude to guests that could decide to come more often and hence support your business. They obviously don’t care! We felt like second range citizens in all honesty We trusted that it would be somewhat decent wine as you should expect for this “high end” and 25 euro per starter “brasserie” Don’t visit this restaurant with double standards and staff that treats people with little respect Left us a bitter taste in the mouth after having a celebration and being utterly respectful to the staff who had a “busy” night and even an ambulance popping up with a guest blaming them for the fall she made on the stairs going down the toilet. Leaving her with a bleeding bump on her head I felt bad for the staff but I don’t actually anymore They didn’t care at all to make us leave with a nice feeling after spending almost 300 euro

WARNING! NOT KIDS FRIENDLY RESTAURANT! MOST RUDE SERVICE EVER! We came to this restaurant for family dinner with our son who is 1 year old. And when in a middle of dinner our son started talking in his own language (not even crying) Lars from restaurant approached us and asked "if we can do something about it?". When I asked if kids are not allowed in this restaurant, he answered: "kids are allowed, but only of they are not crying"?!? So I asked what he wants us to do he offered to go downstairs to WC area or outside. I was absolutely shocked!!! Of course evening was totally ruined by this argument and we left right after min not even finishing the order. And cherry on top, my husbands coat was given back soaked wet in alcohol... waitresses said some ridiculous excuse about condensate.

Had a nice evening and delicious food!

Delicious food, good service, could be a little more French by painting the walls darker and making the environment more authentic. But definitely recommended!

Lovely tent, delicious food and lovely staff!

It was the worst experience ever. We came for dinner with our family. The food was ok, but it definitely wasn't worth the money spent... Service we got - in one word it was terrible. Our son, 1y.o. was talking a lot his own language (even not crying).. and just imagine - we were "kindly" asked to leave the restaurant because of that! They expel kids from the restaurant! Greetings to "service star" of the place - Lars! Finally, when we were leaving, they brought my wet coat. Apparently, someone spilled alcohol on it... Do not go there! Don't bring kids to this place!

Delicious food and very friendly service. Top. Will definitely go back again.

We had high expectations, but these were far exceeded. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, and the service was excellent. The food was truly phenomenal: every time we thought it couldn't get any better, we were surprised again. Every dish was a tasty experience that exceeded our expectations time and time again. The chef is clearly a master of his craft – a true craftsman.

Had an amazing evening with my girlfriend here tonight, drank beautiful wines and had amazing food!! Thanks to daniel and bram as waiter and michael as cheff. Our night couldnt have been better!! Would recommend this to anyone who would like to have a nice evening of laughter, great food and amazing tastes!!!

High quality restaurant. The food and atmosphere are amazing.

Last weekend we sat at the chef's table. Highly recommended to sit there, the dishes were great and so was the service.

Our first experience at Margaux was not entirely as expected. But this weekend we visited a second time for an extensive lunch and it was great! Dishes were tasty and the service was very friendly. We drank very nice wine and had a pleasant afternoon on the terrace!

Chef's table was a great experience

We wanted a small snack and something to drink, we were in a hurry and it would take a maximum of 30-40 minutes. We had mentioned this. The entire restaurant was empty and yet a waiter said: “Everything is full, find something else.” The gentleman was not willing to help or find a flexible solution.

Very little space between the tables and chairs

The steak au poivre was amazing. Can’t wait to try the cote de boeuf next time I go. Wine is a bit over priced but otherwise I would say this is the best brasserie in Amsterdam.

Great business. Always a guarantee for a fun evening. New chef Michael makes it a real party. Next time we'll sit at the chef's table.

Great food. Very good service. Dris served us top notch all evening.

Great experience with the head chef Michael, he really made our evening with his explanation of everything and his great presentation of the dishes!!

Vriendelijk ontvangst, echter blijkt achteraf dat tafels voor anderen wel beschikbaar zijn. Service na gezeteld te zijn is echt onder de maat. Tergend lagszaam terwijl er weinig mensen in de zaak waren. Wel heeft het personeel uitgebreid de tijd voor vrienden... Eten is inspiratie en smaakloos. Wel mooi opgemaakte borden, jammer dat de kwaliteit tegenvalt. 6EUR voor een broodje met boter en 6EUR voor een portie frietjes is echt te veel van het goede. Uiteindelijk 80EUR afgerekend voor een zeer matige lunch zonder wijn. Eens maar nooit meer.

Very good food! Steak tartare was really great👌👌👌 and the tarte tartin

Lunch/diner hier wel eens zakelijk, goede correcte bediening, goed eten, mooie wijnen en heerlijke BdB champagne. Met mijn vrouw drinken we graag met mooi weer op het terras een glaasje of 2,3,4

What a wonderful and surprising evening with top quality food and drinks at the chef's table!!!! The employees and chef were helpful, friendly and pleasant. We will definitely come back, thanks for the hospitable evening Mike and the rest💪🏼

Un bon restaurant français au sud d'Amsterdam : tres accueillant, l'équipe est sympathique l'ambiance est chaleureuse et classique. Nous y sommes allé deux fois et avons été tres satisfaits. Les menus proposés sont excellents et bien présentés. Nous recommandons vivement cette bonne maison.

Nice place, nice classic menu and wine list. Decor fantastic. Unfortunately, the service leaves a lot to be desired. Wait half an hour for the menu, wait half an hour for the menu, wait half an hour for the dessert menu. There are 6 people running and no one makes eye contact, which is a real shame. Especially busy with each other. I find a chef with a cigarette behind his ear unhygienic and inappropriate. If they pay attention to this, it really is a great thing.

I just ate the starter, but this place deserves 5 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

One of my favorite spots in the neighborhood. It’s a very chic French-inspired restaurant. We often come here for coffee, meals, or breakfast, and we love it every time. Their crème brûlée is one of the best I’ve ever had in my life. The meats were also excellent, cooked just the way I like, and the sauce was so delicious.

Excellent lunch before a long train trip home to london will 100% come back next time I'm in Amsterdam

The 3 of us had dinner. The food was good and French rich. The service was very pushing; While we waited for tablemate 3, we were encouraged to order bread and/or oysters. The dishes follow each other in rapid succession. The space between the tables is extremely tight. The controls bumped into you with some regularity. The noise level inside is that of a market hall.

A very cozy atmosphere, dishes were very good and excellent wine!

Most frustrating dining experience in Amsterdam so far. The servers seemed passive aggressive, our order was not placed in on time and when we asked, we did not receive any answer. Food was mediocre.

Great lunch, steak tartare, brioche with eel & foie gras and the scallops are mega! And a top wine list

We were really impressed. Dutch and super attentive staff. My health is not good and I don't walk well. I was immediately given an easy chair and made myself comfortable. I like everything and it is difficult to choose when there are so many tasty things on the menu. The waitress suggested that I could combine all kinds of small dishes. This way I could try everything. Good wine, good food. Great crowd and I think the decor and atmosphere are fantastic. We will definitely come back. We also think the sister company Café Garcon is a nice restaurant. Delicious food and good atmosphere.

Very tasty meal, Janne and Thimo. Great service, we will definitely be back soon Xx

We hebben op zonnig terras genoten van de Franse klassiekers, die op zeer goede wijze waren klaargemaakt. De bediening was zeer attent. Heerlijke locatie.

The service is zo moii the food was meeting the expectations! We loved it! THANK YOU MARGAUX

It’s a really great place. Very nice and attentive service. Had the lamb and it was amazing.

Had a wonderful evening, the food is very good and so is the service. Nice atmosphere, highly recommended.

This is one of my favorite restaurants in Amsterdam. Yes, it can get crowded—it's a current hot spot. Yes, the service can sometimes be hit or miss—after all, we are in Amsterdam. But the food, wine, and atmosphere more than make up for it. The lamb chops are among the best in the city, and if you enjoy thin, crispy fries, they are a must-order. Be sure to ask for wine recommendations, even by the glass—they know their stuff and occasionally have off-menu selection that are simply superb. The atmosphere is classic French brasserie, and as my French friend remarked, it feels like being in Paris. The crowd is dressy, adding to the overall vibe. I've been here at least five times already and will keep coming back, even if just for the lamb.

A really nice place with good food, nice atmosphere, nice people and very good service!

It is very simple, the food is fantastic, with an exciting mix of ingredients. Service is on a high level and the ambience exceeds a French Brasserie. Love going back…. Ps. If you love a good of bottle of wine you will be satisfied

Brasserie Margaux, highly recommended for enthusiasts or beginners who want to discover real classic French cuisine. For those who think they don't like oysters: Oysters Rockefeller gratinee is truly delicious. Steak tartare or aux poivre With French fries and fresh salad. Don't forget the scallop croquettes, delicious…

Quality super and very nice and good staff. Enjoyed it immensely!

the location is good, the atmosphere is oke, it's a miracle it's crowded every evening. we had to wait 60 minutes and reclaim the waiter before we got our entrées. the main course was a similar drama, we had to reclaim the water several times. the staff is young but oké, they can't help it either, but every time sorry sorry is too much of the same. The quality from our food was oké, be it overpriced for what we got and how it was served. We, both couples, shared a turbot with french fries and salad, in accordance with the menu. The turbot arrived whole on the table, we had to do everything ourselves, which is very unusual to me. The salad was a very small portion, just fit for 1 person to be shared between 2, taste very good. French fries the same story as the salad. The espresso coffee was lukewarm and tasted like 'slootwater' (duch for water from the canal). For me, the standing of a restaurant depends on the coffee. Nowadays it's so easy to serve a good cup of coffee but all the capsule machines around. So when the coffee is terrible, it's the end of the story. I'm curious how long this place will exist.

I was initially very excited, but every dish ended up being disappointing. The steak tartare with potato and caviar had a potato element that was too overpowering in flavor. It could have been much thinner to allow the steak tartare and caviar flavors to shine. The escargots were okay; I enjoy garlic, but my partner found it too strong. If you’re not a garlic lover, this dish isn't for you. The most disappointing was the 'Langoustine Rossini,' which turned out to be just a chunk of white fish with an overcooked tiny langoustine and overcooked duck liver on top. The name 'Langoustine Rossini' is misleading because it was actually a white fish with a tiny langoustine added. None of the flavors complemented each other well. I'm unsure if there's been a change of chef, but I am surprised by the reviews that say the food is so good. It was really overpriced for what we received. The service was good, the interior was nice, and the location was great, but ultimately, I come for the food, and I will not be returning.

Atmospheric restaurant with great cuisine

a nice brasserie, with very friendly staff! Good food, what more could you want... In short, highly recommended!!

Tasted Chardonnay, Syrah, Fleurie and Pinot Noir from the wines by the glass. All 4 really insufficient quality. Out of balance or really unpleasant. Food is ok. Service is messy.

Great wine selection and good food. I had the kabeljauw and was quite satisfied although it was a bit heavy on the salt. Overall a great French cuisine restaurant in Amsterdam.

If I could give it lower than 1 I definitely would. What an antisocial crowd and poor service. My hackles stand up from this experience.

De korte samenvatting is: te duur voor het gebodene. Bv: steak au poivre: 28€, patatjes erbij: 6€, harico verts erbij: 7€. Maakt 41€ voor een 'gewoon' hoofdgerecht, nog zonder drankjes. Bediening is prima.

The food in the brasserie is delicious and the service was also excellent. The dishes were just not too hot. Also, 2 people from our community did not feel well after eating out. Furthermore, there was a good atmosphere.

Restaurant is very nicely renovated, interior is. Good wine list. Lunch was not a success. when ordering 1 glass of extra champagne it took fifteen minutes (even after 2 reminders), and the new champagne was dead. For 15 euros you expect a good glass of champagne. got 6 oysters instead of 9, it took a very long time before the last 3 arrived. Missing cutlery... Didn't get a green salad as ordered, halibut was quite tasteless (fries also came halfway through the main course). Conclusion: super bad service and food was minimal. Food 6, service 2 hence a 4.

Ondanks de gezelligheid van de locatie was onze bestelde ceasar salad een aanfluiting en zonder enige fantasie gemaakt. Grote vieze stukken kip, groffe keiharde slabladen, hardgekookt eitje en wat ansjovis. Oh ja en óók nog stukken artisjok uit blik.🙈

What a pearl in Oud Zuid! You immediately feel like you're in France when you walk into the brasserie. The food was delicious and the staff is extremely friendly.

A great spot for some nice food. The onion soup is amazing, the signature dish was underwhelming. Furniture is a bit old and uncomfortable.

Gisteren waren we bij Brasserie Margaux in Amsterdam-Zuid. Op de site las ik over de klassieke Franse gerechten en de unieke, tijdloze sfeer. Ik was reuze benieuwd en had me echt op deze avond verheugd. We hadden om 18.30 uur gereserveerd. Bij binnenkomst werden we vriendelijk ontvangen en kregen we een tafeltje achter in het restaurant. De locatie is prachtig, met een gezellige en ontspannen sfeer. De bediening was oprecht aardig en behulpzaam en ook lekker snel, wat we erg waardeerden. Onze drankjes werden bijvoorbeeld snel geserveerd en ook de kaart kwam meteen op tafel. Als voorgerechten kozen we voor 'La Signature de Margaux', bestaande uit gekonfijte aardappelkrokantjes met steak tartaar, bieslook en kaviaar, en de gebakken coquilles met doperwtencrème, doperwtjes, beurre blanc, zeekraal en salade. Ook de oesters met romige zilte smaak, citroen en Mignonette saus waren echt heerlijk. Als hoofdgerecht hadden we de gegrilde kreeft met knoflook, peterselie en groene salade. Wat een feest was dat! De smaken waren voortreffelijk, met superlekkere Franse frietjes en een zure salade die het geheel perfect aanvulden. Als dessert kozen we koffie met daarbij de Tarte Tatin met een bol vanille ijs erop en allemachtig, wat was dat verrukkelijk. Wat tevens belangrijk is om te melden, is dat je in dit restaurant erg lekker kunt zitten, zowel op de bank als ook op de comfortabele stoelen. Daarbij kun je prima aan tafel een gesprek voeren zonder dat de hele tent meeluistert. Dat komt ook een beetje omdat iedereen zo gezellig aan het praten en kletsen is. We zaten bijvoorbeeld naast een grote familie die het ook zichtbaar naar de zin had en van het eten en de sfeer aan het genieten was. Wat opviel, is dat er zoveel lachende gezichten waren. En dat is denk ik tekenend voor dit restaurant. Oké, oké, eerlijk is eerlijk, het was best prijzig, maar wat mij betreft was het het absoluut waard. Kortom, we hebben echt een hele fijne avond gehad met heerlijk eten, vriendelijke en behulpzame bediening en in een ontspannen sfeer. En daarom komen we graag een keer terug!

Yesterday we were at Brasserie Margaux in Amsterdam South. I had already read on the site about classic French dishes that are served in an accessible manner in a timeless place with a unique appearance, where both connoisseurs and casual eaters feel at home. Inside or outside, but always French style and with a smile. So I was very curious and was really looking forward to this evening. We had reservations for 6:30 PM. Upon entering we were kindly received and given a table at the back of the restaurant. The location is beautiful, with a cozy and relaxed atmosphere. The service was friendly and helpful and also quick, which we really appreciated. For example, our drinks were served quickly and the menu was brought to the table immediately. As starters we chose 'La Signature de Margaux', consisting of candied potato crisps with steak tartare, chives and caviar, and the fried scallops with pea cream, peas, beurre blanc, samphire and salad. The oysters with creamy salty flavor, lemon and Mignonette sauce were also really delicious. As a main course we had the grilled lobster with garlic, parsley and green salad. What a party that was! The flavors were excellent, with super tasty French fries and a sour salad that complemented it perfectly. For dessert we chose coffee and the Tarte Tatin with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top and oh my goodness, it was delicious. What is also important to mention is that you can sit very comfortably in this restaurant, both on the couch and on the comfortable chairs. You can also have a conversation at the table without the entire tent listening. That's also partly because everyone is chatting and chatting so pleasantly. For example, we sat next to a large family who were clearly having a good time and were enjoying the food and the atmosphere. What was striking is that there were so many smiling faces. And I think that is typical of this restaurant. Okay, okay, let's be honest, it was quite pricey, but as far as I'm concerned, it was totally worth it. I had accidentally read a few really bad reviews beforehand, so I was a bit curious beforehand. And boy, am I now happy and enthusiastic about how we experienced our evening. That is why I cannot identify with those unkind reviews at all. In short, we had a really nice evening with delicious food, friendly and helpful service and in a relaxed atmosphere. And that's why we would love to come back!

This place is a strong attempt to match higher end restaurants in London or Geneva. Food is very good and menu changes seasonally. The ambience is great, you can see that the thought was put into decorating this venue. What suffers, as almost everywhere in the Netherlands, is the quality of service - forgotten orders, lack of pro-active approach to customer’s requests etc.

We enjoyed it immensely! The food was surprisingly good, we had the Turbot and Cote du Beauf and as an extra dish the Langoustine Rossini, what a taste explosion. Even the salad and fries were good. This is really recommended.

De atmosfeer in de zaak is goed, maar er zijn wel zaken die helaas vermeld moeten worden. Een signature dish van aardappelkrokantje met langoustine klinkt goed, maar de langoustine hadden ze net zo goed weg kunnen laten… zonde namelijk. Ook bij de cote a l’os absoluut geen perfectie: te ver, dus te droog. Maar de grootste sof komt dan nog: een half glaasje dessertwijn, chateau Suduiraut, met een inkoopprijs van rond de 45 euro de fles, in durven zetten a € 25,-/half glaasje is echt pure diefstal. Jammer, maar voor mij niet weer. Veel te duur voor hetgeen je mag verwachten.

Leuk restaurant, rustige sfeer en mooi aangekleed. Ook het eten was erg lekker. Maar helaas is het toch echt veel te duur voor wat je krijgt.

I had an amazing experience, but especially because the waiter Diego was so kind and attentive to us. The food was incredible and I was treated with a lot of care, explaining all dishes and making the French food experience in the Netherlands unique!

I was there with my wife for a special day and we loved everything! Food is wonderful , place is beautiful and the service was amazing! Diego did a very good job and we will definitely come back! Perfect experience!!

Unforgettable experience! Impeccable food, in a cozy place and exceptional service provided by Diego! I already want to go back!

Food was not bad but very overpriced. Service is very slow, we waited 20 minutes for the starters and paid almost 20 euros for a two boiled eggs which had no salt. The signature dish made of potato and meat had good taste however crumbled completely in my hands as I tried to eat it. Very arrogant atmosphere for the low quality service and food.

I love cafe Garson, so I was very excited to visit Brasserie Margaux. And it did not disappoint. The ambience is very classy - I was excited to dress up. The decor, atmosphere, dishes - enjoyed everything. The menu is only in Dutch - well the guests are also local. The only thing that I didn’t like - the seats at the back of the restaurant are very low and it’s very uncomfortable to sit on. The terrace is very vibrant!

Excellent food. Service needs improvement. We ordered wine and were not served until after three reminders and received it when we finished eating. We had to ask for napkins twice until they brought them. And the wait is quite long between receiving the menus until they come back to take an order

the food was delicious everything is very nice, but Diego made it way more better

I love going to Brasserie Margaux, it is one of the most beautiful and elegant restaurants in Amsterdam. My favourite things are the steak poivre and the madeleines!! Last but not least, the service is great. Diego is always smiling and serving the best he can. Totally recommend!

The food was very tasty and so were the wines. However, communication between colleagues was not good, which meant that orders did not flow properly. We had a reservation until an end time (it turned out later) but when we only had half of our dessert we were asked to pay. Very abrupt ending without proper communication that we had to leave as another order had been taken 5 minutes earlier. For this price we expected different service.
