Brut de Mer in Oude Pijp

Oyster, super tasty and fresh, but a bit pricey. Kimchi octopus, unique and delicious. Soft shell crabs, creamy and flavorful. Fries, it’s just fries. Razor clams, a bit overcooked and dried. Great atmosphere, and friendly service! Will definitely come back.

Most people seemed to enjoy their food and stay. We waited 35 min for our oysters and left without getting them. It wasn‘t that crowded.

Great service from the team and also very knowledgeable about the wines. We had the Normandy , Irish and gillardeau oysters , exceptional ! Also loved the scallop dish The wine list is varied and really caters for every palette .

Cena a base di pesce e ostriche, peccato che cucinando con il burro invece che con l'olio, il gusto del pesce sia coperto dal burro. Ostiche buone. Non ci tornerei.

Teleurstellende gerechten. Meer dan de helft was echt slecht. Naast ons gingen mensen na drie hapjes elders eten en terecht

We came with some Spanish friends. Oysters and coquilles were delicious, the shrimp croquette was ok, but the lobster bisque did not had so much taste and was thin for a good lobster bisque. And I do eat regularly lobster bisque, so maybe I am spoiled. Service was fine, only it took a long time before we finally had our food. I think they forgot our order . Was ok for one time, but we will no be back.

Food didn’t match the price and the staff seemed a bit scattered: menus took forever, and drinks never showed up.

What a joke. Showed up Friday with a reservation. Got sat on a corner ledge they pulled stools up to, and promised “we’d get a table soon,” while two girls ripping cigarettes across three full tables were left alone. Ordered, got our champagne 30 minutes in, oysters 50 minutes in. When we asked what the oysters were (it was the “tasting experience,”), the waiter had literally no idea. No plates, napkins, spoons for the mignonette. 70 minutes in we got our “lobster bisque,” which was 15 euro a bowl for lobster flavored water with no meat in a mug. We payed 130 euro for the honor of finally being pushed in the middle table that the girls were still at, after having to beg twice for the table that we reserved, and the bill. One of the worst dinner experiences I’ve ever had in amsterdam - and also outlandishly expensive. Under trained staff, completely mediocre food - you’re paying a 3x premium because the indoor area has an awesome looking bar.

I recommend this restaurant to everyone, for lovers of seafood, this is a wonderful place, super service, fresh oysters, a large wine list!)

Yesterday I was back at Brut de Mer in De Pijp, where I used to come so often. It immediately felt familiar again - that French atmosphere, the pleasant bustle, the oysters that are still great, and the bartender who fortunately still works there. Very nice to see him again. However, I noticed that the fish dishes were a bit disappointing. They were small, quite greasy and mostly fried or baked. The fries, on the other hand, arrived on the table in a large pile. That felt a bit out of proportion and to be honest I thought that was a shame. Some fresh counterparts or more vegetables could have really brought the whole into better balance. I also missed a bit of finesse – just that little bit of extra attention, love and elegance that I used to need here. Fortunately, the wine list remains top notch and I really enjoyed it. It was nice to be back for a while. Although next time I think I'll just stick to a good glass of wine and a few tasty oysters – and of course there's nothing wrong with that.

Delicious food and great service. One of the top restaurants to eat fish and seafood in Amsterdam

Este lugar era la mejor comida de todas las comidas en París y Amsterdam. El servicio fue exquisito. Diré que volvería un millón de veces. La comida es tan fresca y el personal tan bien informado! Llévame de vuelta. ¡Cada bocado! Menú giratorio, así que no esperes nada de lo que veas en imágenes

Fantastic seafood place with nice atmosphere and very friendly staff

excellent selection of oysters. fun experience and nice outdoor seating with umbrella heating.

The best oysters. Lovely cocktails. Really tasty plates. You can’t go wrong.

Oyster is amazing and refresh. Highly recommend!

A very cozy place. We were received with a smile on our faces. The map is nice. As neighbors 🇧🇪, we will come back! 🙏🤗

The oysters are also delicious, every one of them is delicious, super fresh, and absolutely not surprising. Other seafood is also fresh and delicious, and there is Japanese wine. The service staff are very enthusiastic, introducing the dishes carefully and patiently. Decided to come back tomorrow!

The best lobster bisque I ever had. Staff are very friendly too. Definitely will visit again when I’m in town

What an absolutely wonderful place! Brut de Mer offers a continuously changing seafood menu, depending on what is freshly available on the market at the moment. The chef shows personal interest to check if everything is to your liking. The enthusiastic staff works hard to find good wine pairings with your dishes. I tasted some very good wine! I ordered the pulpo with Kimchi and the Dutch (IJselmeer) smoked eel with apple syrup. Especially the eel was amazing, what a great combination of flavors. I will definitely be coming back to this small and cozy restaurant that is serving great food, without any pretense.

Food is ok, same for service, but the establishment is very small, not suitable for groups with more than 4 people. 6/10

We went for some fruit and it was not served. After the disappointment we had a delicious meal. Excellent service, really wonderful. Definitely worth repeating

amazing restaurant. actually best one i tried in amsterdam. the 2 guys at the bar were lovely and the food was excellent. definitely try the mussels with gorgonzola sauce

Highly recommended! Everything was very tasty and super fresh. The range of different oysters is highly recommended and the shrimp croquettes are the tastiest I have ever eaten. Ordered them again as a conclusion. Different types of champagnes at affordable prices and the cocktails are also really tasty and presented in a fun way. Very cozy and atmospheric seating. Friendly and smooth service. There is also a terrace outside, but we sat inside because it was still too cold in the evening. Ideally located in better weather, it is located on a pleasant “square”.

Good place, love it. Super expensive though. But we still go here every time we come to Amsterdam!

Pulpo, inktvis and scallops were incredible over the top to the moon to the infinity. Wow! Those dishes were incredible tasty and so elegant. Really wow!

The boss, waiters and chefs are all very cute and friendly! The food is extremely delicious! It’s a very happy dining experience🥰

Leuk restaurant in Amsterdam! De medewerkers van Brut de mer zijn erg aardig en professioneel. De gerechten waren lekker en uitstekend geschikt om te delen. We kregen een mooie tafel en hebben verschillende gerechten van de kaart gegeten. Vooral de tonnato vitello en de fruits de mer plateaus waren heerlijk. Vriendelijke en kundige bediening. OESTERS! en heerlijke vis op een nieuwe manier. Mooie en enorme wijnkaart. Vooral de bisque maar ook de coquille/krab is ernstig lekker.

The dishes have interesting flavor combinations and the ingredients are of high quality. The concept is sharing, so I think the dishes could only be a little larger. The wine list is also excellent, we drank a Godello.

Delicious food! Very nice stuff

It was a great fish restaurant. I highly recommend you the mussles.

The service was impeccable! The staff friendly and extremely hospitable! Will be going back next

Amazing dinner experience. The oysters where top and the owner was so knowledgeable and kind. We are waiting for you at Be Zanzibar 😍 Cheers 🤍🤍🤍

love this restaurant. i will come back for some oyster

What a delicious meal we had here! We sat here quite spontaneously (everywhere was full outside). We ordered a few dishes and they were surprisingly good. The portions are very generous!! Never seen before in Amsterdam. And you can eat the best calamari in Amsterdam here!!! 100%

Me and my clients loved it! Fast, fresh, delicious) We'll come again

Great fish restaurant on all fronts, nice staff, good wine, I will definitely come back

Nice restaurant in Amsterdam! The employees of Brut de mer are very nice and professional. The dishes were tasty and ideal for sharing. We really liked the lobster bisque, the langoustines and the tonnato vitello were also good. All in all highly recommended.

Had dinner here tonight with a group of 12 people. We got a nice table and ate several dishes from the menu. The tonnato vitello and the fruits de mer platters were especially delicious. Friendly and knowledgeable service!

If you’re on the hunt for top-notch seafood in Amsterdam, Brut de Mer is a gem you don’t want to miss! Their oyster selection is truly impressive, with six different types to explore, each more delicate and fresh than the last. Pairing them with one of their many crisp white wines or a glass of cava is a must—it elevates the whole experience. Moving on to the mains, the roasted razor clams and sautéed white clams were spot on. The flavors were bold but balanced, and the texture was just perfect. The calamari, though, might be the hidden hero—it’s probably the best I’ve had in Amsterdam. It’s got that tender, melt-in-your-mouth quality and comes with a sauce that’s so rich and flavorful that you’ll be wiping the plate clean. Then came the egg with caviar, and wow—it’s a dish to remember. Luxurious, silky, and full of flavor, it felt like a little celebration of everything you could want in a seafood meal. The salad dishes were fresh and light, acting as the perfect counterbalance to the richness of the seafood. The prices are admittedly on the steep side, but for a special occasion, Brut de Mer feels absolutely worth it. Plus, the friendly and attentive staff really add to the vibe, making the whole experience feel like a treat. If you’re looking to indulge, this spot will hit all the right notes!

Have actually just finished the main course and desert is coming but couldn't wait to review. Delicious sea bass ceviche as a starter, perfect taste, perfect vinegraite. Main course whole brill grilled with beurre blanc and small capers. Service super atmosphere good. I wonder what dessert will be....but I'm already looking forward to it.

One of my favorite spots in Amsterdam. Really nice and knowledgeable staff and the food is always very fresh and good. Sitting outside with a glass of champagne and delicious chilled oysters is a must!!

I really liked it. Pleasant waiters, very tasty food. And relatively quickly.

Bizarrely delicious food here. After eating here for the first time, I can already say that this is my favorite restaurant in Amsterdam. We like to stay in Spain because of the seafood dishes, but here you can eat that too and perhaps even better. Super creative pulpo, really tasty! Oysters also great! Good atmosphere, nice music and friendly staff. Fantastic that this is in Amsterdam, I should have known earlier! A really great restaurant!

Amazing seafood with a great vibe. Make sure to make a reservation in advance because it’s a bit small in there. Everything on the menu is for sharing, and they were all so good and fresh. The oysters came from all over (French, Portuguese and Dutch). There is a bit of wait for food, so just be sure to not have plans immediately after!

The service is very friendly Seafood so fresh I like beer

Having a date, very good kitchen & wine list. Friendly and quick service (I don’t know why other guests complaining). That’s only disadvantage is - the place is too small, not much space inside.

What a place, what a food, wine & atmosphere, wow - Fantastic! We will be back to enjoy the oysters, the vongole, the razor clams, the sardines, the champagne, the wine… yes everything. We loved it!

In a very lively and beautiful place, in the middle of 2 other delightful restaurants. A seafood restaurant with good cocktails.

Food is delicious and served in small gourmet portions. Service is great! If you want to eat the finest seafood, you are right here!

🚭🚭🚭People working there are super nice! However, it’s disappointing to see that restaurants still allow customers to smoke on terraces. This ruins the dining experience for others. I hope smoking in public places will be completely banned soon.

Delicious food (still thinking about their lobster bisque) and a gezellig summer terrace. Run don’t walk!

Simply great ✌️😎 and employee Eva is great

I thought this place was way too busy. Price quality not okay. Too expensive for what you get. Pretty tasteless. Except for the oysters. Those were delicious. But yes, that is a matter of good purchasing and not about good cooking. They were 5 euros each.

For me they are the best Oyster place in Amsterdam. Good varieties, decent price, nice offers. In addition, cute place, cozy outdoor seating and friendly staffs! They also have other seafood if you are not a big fan for Oyster. Price is not cheap, but once you have it, you know what you pay for and it totally worth it.

The food is excellent but it is criticized for the delay in service.

So delicious, fresh food, fresh oysters! I do not like oysters and for first time I absolutely loved their oysters, so fresh. Service was amazing, very helpful and friendly, food amazing! Recommend!!!

Amazing vibe, great food, outstanding service. Just perfect!

A place of exceptional pleasure for connoisseurs. Highest quality small but best seafood leaf. 6 types of oysters, each better than the other, already perfect. Razor clams, langoustines, scallops, crabs, vongole, etc. It is the quality of the ingredients that is a delight; they are chosen from the best of the best. All preparation with maximum preservation of the taste of the main ingredient, no dominance of unhealthy sauces, sugars and frying. Excellent selection of wines (eg Chablis by the glass). The desserts are also chosen very professionally, literally producing fireworks of happiness for the taste buds with their final accent. The service is attentive and even touching. We tried several upscale restaurants in Amsterdam, but this one will definitely become our favorite.

I waited 1.5 hours for a sandwich, provided that 90% of the establishment drank only wine and did not order food

Fantastic tent! OYSTERS! and delicious fish in a new way. Nice and huge wine list. The bisque in particular, but also the scallop/crab, is seriously delicious. Person knows his stuff n

My friend and I are on holiday and decided to try this fish restaurant; what can I say, exquisite food of excellent quality (I rarely eat fish but this was EXCEPTIONAL), very kind and professional waiter, I compliment all the restaurant staff, especially the chef, I hope to return soon.

We tried lobster sandwich, surf and turf, helibout fillet and the lobster soup. All delicious! The staff is very nice and kind. Specifically Job is great, hope he recieves the applaud he deserves♥️🍻

Nice place. Food is fresh and cooked fast, service is really attentive and helpful. I enjoyed the place and menu choice

Just eat oysters. The rest is substandard. Especially when it comes to cooking something or adding sauce, it makes me wonder if the chef doesn't even have the basics. The only reason I'm giving it 2 stars is that the raw oysters were delicious and the staff were really friendly and nice.

The place is located nearby the Dam and Rokin. On the Nes.

What a fantastic place, haven't had such a good meal in a long time! The oysters, razor clams, tuna..... we ordered several dishes and not one disappointed. The incredibly friendly service has a lot of knowledge about what they serve, really great!

Great staff and remarkable experience!

The oysters were one of the best we had lately. Except the fried potatoes which were cut into very small tiny pieces, everything else we had was delicious and the servis was super friendly. I would come here again.

Nice restaurant with a lively atmosphere to enjoy oysters and some other sea food. The only problem is that sometimes waiting gets too long (even more than 45 minutes) between dishes. Wine list is nice, with a couple of interesting choices. Overall, quality of the food is quite good.

Fresh seafood cooked well (maybe needs slightly more seasoning, but was overall very good). Service was attentive and it was just a great atmosphere dining outside.

La comida era genial, basada principalmente en platos medianos para compartir. Pescados y mariscos. El ambiente era urbano y fresco, con un ambiente animado y la zona también era una zona de paso con un montón de bares y restaurantes. La única razón por la que no le dimos a este lugar un 5 es por el servicio. La cocina era caótica y el servicio estaba claramente muy estresado. Pedimos ostras antes de nuestra red, y esperamos más de una hora hasta que finalmente las cancelamos y simplemente fuimos directamente a la comida caliente. Así que era más de 1. Cinco horas antes de que nos dieran comida, que es pobre. También pedimos que se quitara el chorizo de uno de los platos que no hicieron dos veces. Por lo tanto, la comida y el ambiente genial, el servicio y la comunicación no tan grande.

Atmospheric and friendly staff!

It was ten out of ten for sure. Lobster soup was the best that I ever had. They have variety options of fresh oysters from different regions. I fell in love with spaghetti vongole which was so creamy and with a little touch of garlic, they sent me to a different universe. All seafood was super fresh.

Always a pleasure having a table at Brut de mer !the food was amazing The oysters are super fresh the service is super good the waiter was very kind! Made our sunday nice! Definitely will come back

Zeer slechte ervaring, eten werd koud geserveerd, personeel was alleen met zichzelf bezig. Ik denk de kok ook, eerst 1 hoofdgerecht van de twee, toen de patat en na 10 minuten het hoofdgerecht voor mijn partner. Al met al, hier ga ik niet meer naar toe.

We started our lunch on the terrace, enjoying a glass of bubbly, but when the rain started pouring, we moved indoors. Inside, we found a cozy atmosphere and charming design. The food was delicious, and our waitress was very friendly.

Very tasty food, but not very cozy due to the bright light.

We had dinner at a busy Saturday night, there was only bar table available. The fish, salads, oysters were so so good! The bar tender is a master of cutting oysters - they didn’t even wear gloves to do the job and I was a little worried that they might hurt their hands however I believe they know their job :)

I enjoyed sitting at the bar and chatting with the oyster shucker. Food and wine were quite good

Tasting of high quality oysters, the seafood platter fantastic. Nice, informal but very correct atmosphere

This is the first time I change a review. 2 years ago I said it was 5 starts and recommended it to several people. I’m sad to say this is not the case anymore. The dishes got smaller and the taste wasn’t as good. The steak tartare was served Roth bone marrow (to be fair, it was really good), but no bread. Razor clams didn’t have much taste. Service was good, but price-benefit is low and I don’t plan to go back there again.

A unique dining experience along the Amsterdam canals. Here the food is a real feast for the palate, with dishes that blend international flavors with the freshest local ingredients. The location, with its windows directly overlooking the canals and lively atmosphere, offers an unforgettable gastronomic experience. Prices are more than reasonable, allowing everyone to enjoy a dinner overlooking the canals without spending a fortune. The service is quick and courteous, with the staff always attentive to customer needs. The structure is modern and welcoming, ideal for a romantic dinner or an evening with friends.

We had reserved a table outside because we wanted to bring our dog. Unfortunately it turned out to be too cold to sit outside that day. A table had just become available inside where we could sit with our dog, which we were happy with. Then ordered the langoustines, mussels, razor clams and ravioli and a glass of wine per person. Dishes were all good, with a preference for the mussels. The wine (€10 per glass) was tasty, but priced just a bit too high. All in all a nice restaurant with friendly staff and tasty food.

A cute little seafood place in a nice hipster neighborhood. We had a few good appetizer and fresh Seabass and fresh Dorade, very nicely prepared. Can only recommend.

Fantastic atmosphere. Delicious oysters. Cosy place. Recommended👍

We were seated at the bar area as this place is super popular but we didn’t feel uncomfortable and actually finished dinner after almost 3 hours. Not knowing much about oysters and we seldom eat them, the “oysterman” in the restaurant was super helpful and the oysters were amazing we got to try them from different origins and eat in different ways according to the oysterman. The exhaustive list of seafood selection enriched our culinary experience tonight. We even tried langoustine and razor clams which we don’t find many in Sydney. The staff were all so friendly. Amazing funny and fruitful chat with this oysterman. This is going to be an unforgettable dining experience for a long while.

Great food and great service! We like the vibe of this restaurant, small and cozy. Unfortunately they were out of Dutch shrimps but dorade was excellent. Recommended!

Came twice, once sat outside once inside. Inside is way better. Service is top notch, food is fresh and delicious. Really enjoyed the experience!

This place is like roller-coaster.at the begin everything goes well(oysters and cocktail were fine)but when is come to hot foods(mussels and lobster soup) you need to wait an hour until is arrive on your table. Mussels dish taste were super blend with uncooked vegetables inside and lobster soup extremely salty) Unfortunately no return to this place despite friendly waiters only!

Lobster bisque was divine! The oysters were meaty and the fish was fresh. We got the outside table which was a bit shaky but otherwise ok. Didn't particularly like the crab ravioli which was a little rubbery. The steak tartare also wasn't anything to shout about, but I blame myself for ordering a meat dish at a seafood restaurant

Overall very nice experience, the quality of the oysters, the warm service, I would certainly come back..

heerlijk gegeten en genoten van een bedreven, vriendelijke en gastvrije bediening ontspannen sfeer in het restaurant zonder druk gegeten terwijl het restaurant met reserveringsblokken werkt de bisque is een aanrader

Tasty mussels and crispy wine…what else?

Amazing food, slow service and noisy roadside

Small is beautiful…. Lovely living room seafood restaurant, because it doesn't get any bigger. A fine dinner and wine menu with more than enough choice. We were allowed to do it this evening with, among other things, the vongole, mussels and razor clams. DELICIOUS!! Try to reserve in time and try to get a table if there are more than 2 people. I say go for it!!

Cosy seafood restaurant in the heart of De Pijp. Friendly staff and delicious options for both food and wine. Would definitely recommend the scallops, the vongole and the crab. Most of the dishes are small ones to share. Hence, the ideal place to come with 2 to 4 people who love seafood! Reservations are required, because this place is very popular and almost always fully booked

Locale davvero carino con una bella atmosfera, ottimo pesce e personale cordiale. Da non perdere.

Service was perfect and food was decent but it’s a bit overpriced. The dishes are far too small to be described as shared dining on the menu. Great for drinks & bites but not the best option for a full dinner.

Had some oysters and a few sharing plates, some dishes came out cold. Our evening was completely saved by Debbie who is probably the best waitress in the whole of Amsterdam, she was super kind and attentive!
