De Juwelier in Grachtengordel-Zuid

Always a great experience here, lovely to sit at the bar and watch the chef’s prepare your food. Amazing food and great service, the sommelier really knows his wines and pairs fantastic wines with your food. Great atmosphere and good value for a Michelin star restaurant.

We had the full 3 course menu and dessert for a birthday celebration and the entire experience was amazing. When asked they also offer you a brilliant wine pairing even though it's not mentioned in the menu. I would definitely recommend that. The staff was funny and very wholesome throughout the entire dinner. I'd also recommend sitting at the kitchen table since watching the chefs prepare the dishes truly adds to the experience while you get the them served and explained by the individual chef. In terms of flavours they definitely hold up to their reputation and it's a must for every food enthusiast in Amsterdam. Especially the veal sweetbread and steak bordelaise left a lasting impression!

A deeply disappointing experience, particularly for a restaurant of this standard. The attitude of some of the servers were unmistakable and made my family and me feel genuinely unwelcome. We are not Dutch, and we chose not to drink alcohol that evening. Unfortunately, the way this was handled left us with the distinct impression that both were being judged. We have dined at many Michelin-starred restaurants around the world and have never felt that drinking alcohol—or fitting a particular nationality or profile—was a prerequisite for warm and respectful hospitality. Fine dining should make every guest feel valued. Sadly, we experienced the opposite. We will not return, and based on our experience, we would not recommend this restaurant to anyone who does not appear to fit the category they seem to expect from their guests.

High-quality cuisine at reasonable prices. The wine selection was excellent. Our chosen wine was unavailable, but the server's suggestion was more than satisfactory. We ordered appetizers and main courses – if you're very hungry, you should consider adding an intermediate course or dessert. The ambiance was lovely, with a relaxed and informal atmosphere. The service was very attentive and friendly.

Had a fantastic dinner with my partner's family at De Juwelier! The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was warm, attentive, and excellent throughout the night. A special shoutout to the new manager, Bo—he was such a nice guy and made us feel so welcome from the moment we walked in. It was the perfect setting for a great evening, and we'll definitely be back!

De Juwelier clearly demonstrates its culinary strengths. The food is good, with quality ingredients, carefully prepared dishes and well-balanced flavours. We therefore have little to criticise when it comes to the kitchen. That is precisely why the details surrounding the food stand out more. For a restaurant of this calibre, the overall experience could be more refined. For example, there was a visible layer of dust on the lamps, and strands of dust were also hanging from the bookcase/wine cabinet. In addition, the toilet, sink and even smaller details such as the soap dispenser could have been better maintained. These may seem like minor issues, but in a restaurant with this positioning, it is precisely these details that make a difference. Unfortunately, the service fell noticeably short of the quality of the food. The attention was limited and the service felt impersonal. Throughout the evening, we missed engagement, attentiveness and a genuinely welcoming approach. The sommelier’s guidance also fell below our expectations; there was little explanation and hardly any opportunity for a personal wine experience. The foundation — and especially the kitchen — is undoubtedly strong. However, to bring the overall experience up to the same high level, there is still considerable room for improvement in service, hospitality, cleanliness and attention to detail.

Great location and atmosphere. Top notch service. Unfortunately, the food was underwhelming. Only their signature Paté was outstanding. Everything else was simply OK. Considering the fact that this is a 1* Micheliin restaurant, the expectations are high and here they were not fulfilled. Pro tip: their colleagues from Bistro del Mar, next door, are part of the same group of companies, they also have a Michelin star and the food there completely matched our high expectations.

We had a delicious meal, the leek and ray in particular were really top-notch. Friendly service, definitely worth it too!

It was recommended to me, but I think it's too expensive for what it offers.

great place, great food, great atmosphere, and really great staff. They are super nice and friendly. However, at that price point, they need more servers. The server could barely keep up with all the tables. so we where waiting a lot to order anything. other than that, it was a great experience

For a Michelin-starred restaurant, I had higher expectations. The table where we sat smelled like sewage, and the chef's menu wasn't particularly special: tomato and stracciatella prepared the way you would make it at home, overpowering nutmeg with the fish, and a dry cake with way too much rum for dessert. I think the waiter was new—that can happen and normally doesn't bother me—but serving red wine with fish is definitely a no-go. All in all, certainly not worth the money; a shame, because I had high expectations.

Had a delicious meal at the bar. It was a nice experience to connect with the staff like that. They spoke about the food with great passion and the flavors were amazing 🔥

A very chill Michelin Star Experience. Very relaxed and I think there prices were incredibly reasonable for 1 star. They have a 3 course menu, but we chose to get just some different stuff. The place is obviously stunning, food was incredible, great wine list and the negronis were amazing. We ordered oysters and they were probably my favourite oysters so far. The waiter was very funny and even gave us 2 cigarettes to smoke outside after we asked where we could buy cigarettes (funny enough, it can be quite difficult to find normal cigarettes in AMS haha). The only issue (that I didn't mention at the time) is that the wine glass did have a lipstick stain that I cleaned with my napkin... I understand it was probably because they didn't see that after the glasses came out of the dishwasher, so I knew it was clean, just stained, but for 1 star.... I really wouldn't expect that. Also, you pay 40 euros for reservation, but it didn't get discounted from the bill, so I'm assuming that's just how it is? Anyway, 180 euros + reservation, and I think it's an good price for a relaxed 1 star meal (we don't eat much as well so it might be more if you eat more). Only reason I'm giving 3 stars is because of the glass stain, the rest was fantastic!!

The food was good, but the service was poor. Our waiter was a bit weird, made sassy comments and kept forgetting things we’d ordered. They won’t be keeping their star if the service carries on like this.

Had a pretty nice lunch, but why is champagne served in a wine glass, and why did we receive exactly zero amuse-bouches during our four-course menu? I have eaten at many Michelin-starred restaurants by now, and this is the first time I haven't received any amuse-bouches. And a more relaxed service is fine, but a member of the brigade in sneakers is a bit too casual for me. The staff's attire wasn't what I expect in a starred restaurant either. I know that Michelin nowadays only judges what is on the plate, but ambiance is very important to me too. Having to take your own beautiful, Japanese, but too thin cutlery out of a box on the table? I don't know. In short, I went home feeling a bit disappointed.

We had a fantastic evening. At the bar, we could see the chefs at work up close, which made the experience extra special. The dishes were creative and refined, with beautiful wine pairings. A culinary experience not to be forgotten anytime soon. We would love to come back again!

The food was outstanding, the service less so. One of the waiters was a bit rude. The music didn't suit the location and suddenly became very loud. I had expected more from a Michelin-starred establishment. After this review, the manager called me politely.

I ate several times here. This is our must restaurant in Amsterdam. Food is amazing - innovative yet constrained. What really is amazing is the service. If there was a world championship for how smart and friendly the staff is, they would win.

Amazing restaurant, we keep coming back everytime we visit Amsterdam.

Truly outstanding food. All the chefs who walked us dishes and the front of house who provided the most excellent service, truly did a great job. Great wine list.

Just shy of 3 x 5 stars. We had a delicious meal. The oysters as a starter were delicious, the crab tartare was fine, and the duck was amazing. We did not like the Baba au rum dessert. Of course, it is a matter of taste, but it did not fit well in a surprise menu. The wines were excellent, and fortunately, we were able to get the last Chateau Yquem. Good, friendly service.

Had a wonderful evening at the Juwelier last night, Had a delicious meal and tasty wines, all with top service and enthusiasm, Cyril and team, thank you very much for the lovely evening Regards Peter and Annemarie

The food was tasty and good, with generous portions. Our waiter was borderline rude and unkempt; I guess bad luck, because the other two were friendly. The music wasn't good, a mix of very different styles, the volume too loud, then soft, and later loud again. And the waiter was singing along under his breath. The toilet was dirty and not well-maintained. Not worth the price. It was our only visit.

Absolutely fantastic! The steak was exceptional, a true explosion of flavors. Don't expect the highly formal service of a Michelin-starred restaurant where they keep refilling your water throughout the meal: here, the concept is much more relaxed. The staff is lovely, attentive, and immediately puts you at ease. We wholeheartedly recommend this place!

A must-visit in Amsterdam, with a relaxed and slightly edgy atmosphere, an open kitchen where the chefs serve and explain the dishes, and impeccable service, including wine selection. The food is delicious, with intense flavors and excellent presentation. My favorites: the beef and crab tartare with kimchi, the skate, and especially the sweetbreads with fennel and seaweed. It's also refreshing to find a classic like the perfect baba au rum on the menu.

Nice lunch menu. Great value for money. A nice place to have lunch.

I have rarely been approached and served with such disinterest, and I only found out at the very end that it was supposed to be a 1-star restaurant. While the sommelier wanted to argue with me because I believe in natural wine, this was dismissed as funky nonsense and asked if I even knew the definition of natural wine. Uhm no sir, rather not... I just want a pleasant meal and advice. While I am sitting at a table with five people to celebrate my son's graduation, for which we just received a diploma—so we are really in the mood to celebrate—arrogance is slowly but surely being served up, and in the end, we are sitting politely at the table just to see if we might be allowed to ask something. Totally nipped in the bud by waitstaff who constantly want to make it clear that they decide what, when, and how. There is no sign of a team that wants to give us a lovely evening but simply charges 600 euros and did not welcome us with words like "how nice that you are here"—nor was there a "how nice that you were here" like that. This place has the world turned upside down.

My food was tasty to very tasty; we were with a group, and for some, the dish wasn't good, which is unacceptable at this level. Duck undercooked with a piece of bone, bubba rum without syrup. Normally not a problem, but not at the level it claims to be. The service was poor; we sat at a large table with insufficient space (15 people), but that wasn't our choice. Passing food around, asking if you can have another drink, having to refill your own water glasses, etc., is simply unacceptable. And there was plenty of staff; it wasn't busy. When the manager/owner arrived, things suddenly changed, but in my opinion, it was too late. I think it's a waste of my boss's money (company outing); you can be treated better for the same price. Not bad, but certainly for this level.

The beef tartare is really delicious. I also recommend the oysters. The bread is a given. Homemade bread 🍞 is the best 👍👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻♥️🍽

De Juwelier is a cozy, informal place where you can enjoy delicious food with a very good wine selection and excellent service. We sat at the ‘Chef’s table’, so you are right up close to the preparation, and we found this to be a nice extra touch. The chefs serve your food themselves, provide explanations, and answer any questions you may have. This restaurant is now at the top of our list. Highly recommended!

Incredible place to enjoy delicious food with very nice people. Just sit at the bar and enjoy Amsterdam cuisine at its best.

Super nice experience, kitchen staff and service are friendly, the food was fantastic

We had a very pleasant dinner there the other day. We enjoyed a three-course chef’s menu accompanied by some aperitifs. Apart from a few minor issues (a fish scale in the main course and a rather dry/uninspired dessert), the overall experience was very good. The service was excellent, and the atmosphere of the place was also very pleasant.

Perhaps expectations are too high, but in a 1-star restaurant, you should expect everything to be right in terms of atmosphere and service, and at the very least that all dishes are flavorful. We had a pleasant lunch with friends, but... the music is really too loud, and there are a number of points that will prevent us from visiting De Juwelier again.

Not star worthy (anymore) staff was outright rude. Chefs were having very inappropriate conversations in the kitchen including calling out the potential menstruation of the youngest female team member (don’t think they realized I speak Dutch). Unheard of and we asked to be moved away from the bar. The chatter was ongoing, louder than our conversation and unprofessional. Not sure if anyone can save this place, they seem bored, food has lost its touch, kitchen was a mess, reception was off and upon departure the host even added some fuel to the fire by saying, I think we couldve gotten along but it wasnt my fault (ie. Blaming the guest for his rude reception)

Had an incredibly special afternoon with my girlfriend. We were pampered from start to finish, and there was a lovely, cozy, relaxed Amsterdam atmosphere among the chefs. The food was delicious and flavorful; the duck and pâté are highly recommended. In short, we had a great lunch!

We had booked a 3-course dinner at this beautiful restaurant via Heerlijk and had high expectations, especially given the Michelin star. Unfortunately, the experience was quite disappointing. Upon arrival, hardly any explanation was given regarding the dishes; there was no menu or explanation, making it all feel rather impersonal. While we were still quietly enjoying our champagne, the first course was already served. We wanted to do a wine pairing, but because everything came so quickly one after the other, that was actually no longer possible. The main course was truly delicious; there is nothing to complain about there. However, this too came much too soon after the previous course. We found the dessert unexciting, and once again, it was served almost immediately. Despite having a bottle of wine with it, we were outside again within an hour. For a restaurant with a Michelin star, we had expected much more attention, tranquility, and an experience. We really missed the service and the sense of hospitality, in particular. Ultimately, it felt more like an average restaurant around the corner than a culinary evening out at a star level.

Incredible experience! From arrival to departure, we were treated with the utmost care. The staff is very friendly and extremely knowledgeable. The food is amazing; we opted for the à la carte option. Bread and butter are served with no exception, and both are delicious (and when the bread and butter ran out, they refilled our supplies). I personally had the tartare with mixed salad and seaweed crackers, and the glazed duck, both amazing. A sublime experience, definitely worth repeating. Recommended!

Very slow service. The food was nice but not Michelin-star quality. It was very hot upstairs. Limited wine list

Food was excellent. Servers were friendly and helpful.

Best Holiday deal. Half the rice.

Tend to have lunch at a sister restaurant two door down. On this occasion I had dinner with a friend. We were unlucky to be seated half a meter across from the loo, which in my opinion is a place restaurants should never use for customer seating, let alone a started restaurant. Nonetheless, the food was good but not exceptional. Riz De Veau (sweetbread) was average amd rather chewy, the mushroom bone marrow was more mushroom than bone marrow, and we skipped the main this time. We couldn't get out first choice of wine, but were happy with a good bottle of meursault as a replacement. Recommended but avoid the table across the bathroom door.

I use Restaurant Week offers to try out restaurants, and most restaurants try to impress you into coming back after Restaurant Week, but not here… the menu was far too simple for a Michelin-starred restaurant. Beetroot with mustard ice cream, pâté en croute, poached egg in compte sauce with cracklings and frisée potatoes, halibut with onion stew, and a classic baba au rum with ice cream. Was it tasty? Yes. Was it exceptional? No. I don't think I will be coming back.

We had a fine lunch at De Juwelier. We opted for the Restaurant Week menu, paired with a few glasses of wine. Unfortunately, the starter was a bit disappointing: the beets were served too cold, causing the flavors to not come into their own as well. The subsequent dishes—pâté en croûte, a poached egg, and skate wing—were, on the other hand, well prepared and flavorful. The dessert made less of an impression. It consisted of a fairly simple sponge cake with vieux, which came across as somewhat unimaginative. Of course, this could also be a matter of personal taste. All in all, a solid lunch with some strong dishes, but also clear areas for improvement. As far as we are concerned, the restaurant feels like a “0.7 star”: good, but not at the level of a full star and perhaps partly driven by the hype.

We had a fantastic meal and received excellent advice on the wines (by the glass). My 31st birthday couldn't have been better.

The food was absolutely amazing, the wine selection, excellent and very high-end and the service friendly and competent. Highly recommended, I really don’t understand why it has such a low rating on Google.

We had booked here for a business lunch. We informed the team that we would only have 60 minutes. Service has been outstanding as was the food. We had an excellent lunch in exactly one hour and the atmosphere remained totally relaxed throughout. Truly amazing experience. Fully recommend!

The service was friendly, but that was about it. - The bread only arrived after we asked for it, after the appetizer, because it wasn't in the oven. They could have told us that beforehand. - The waiters did a good job, but they didn't make us feel welcome. - The food was good, but at this price point, I expected more of a flavor explosion. It was an experience, but we don't need to go back. There are much better options in the same price range.

Restaurant week with a special 5-course menu for €58.00. Nice wine collection but pricey (individual glasses up to €20.00 per glass!)

The staff was very unfriendly, didn't smile all evening, the food was late and a bit mediocre. It was also expensive.

One of the worst ‘fine dining’ experiences in my life. The food was 6-7/10 at best. The disrespect came in every form. From outrageous prices to terrible execution of simple dishes. The waiter also was in the worst mood I have ever personally encountered in a food establishment. He was not just unfriendly, but almost seething of some kind of anger / frustration to the point where it made me and my date uncomfortable. He forgot multiple of our orders and could not seem more annoyed everytime we attempted some small talk to clear some tension. Half the dinner was spent theorizing what we could’ve done to offend him so personally. I can find no redeeming qualities in this meal. Lastly for the price points and the one Michelin star rating, I expect the menu to have a couple of impressive standout dishes. Somehow we ordered 6 different dishes and the only one that stood out was the beef tartare for being ruined with oyster sauce. One of many people and my favorite French dishes tuned into what I can only imagine wet cat food tastes like. I have more negative things to say but I will refrain. The good parts of the experience were the ambiance and the nice waitress who seemingly noticed how rude our waiter was, and did her best to make small talk and take over the table with ordering and delivering food towards the end of our meal.

Great foods Good value for money Not sure whether should have a Michelin star, still enjoyed our lunch experience a lot

The service was very solid but the portions are petite and quite expensive. Not a fan of spending over €350 for 3 people and leaving hungry.

We visited for Valentine’s Day for our first Michelin-starred experience, and I have to say I left feeling quite disappointed. For the price point and the accolade, the experience was underwhelming and very much overpriced. The issues started with the menu: the website indicated a choice menu, but upon arrival, we were locked into a mandatory set menu (minimum 4 courses) without prior notice. We also requested a specific table in our reservation but were given what felt like a 'leftover' spot. The service was the biggest letdown. The team seemed disjunct and not working together. They placed butter on our table but completely forgot to bring the bread. Three different waiters made sure the empty table in front of the toilet was perfectly squared, and as a guest you got the feeling that the geometry between table and couch was more important than the guests themselves. When the first course arrived, it was brought out hastily with absolutely no explanation of the dish. We were baffled by the ‘factory feel’ and the lack of passion for the food by the staff. As for the food, while the plates were unique, they felt stingy on the high-quality ingredients (for example, a tiny dollop of foie gras on the main). I have honestly had much better 3-4 course menus elsewhere for a fraction of the price, and with a much more passionate staff. All in all, an 'okay' meal, but it lacked the attention to detail and hospitality you expect from a Michelin star. We likely won't be rushing back.

This is a one-Michelin-star restaurant. The atmosphere is cozy and the service is excellent, but the food did not meet my expectations. For me, it felt overrated.

A must try amazing Michelin restaurant with innovative and delicious culinary creations. Sitting at the bar allows you to watch every dish crafted right in front of you, showcasing the chefs’ meticulous attention to detail. Each plate is assembled like a piece of art, and the food itself is absolutely spectacular.

The food was fine, but the service wasn't stellar. Leaning over someone to splash wine into their glass, instead of just walking to the other side of the table.

The food was fine, nothing special... We sat at the bar, where there was just a bit too much going on at once, in my opinion. It was very noisy. The staff was friendly, though. All in all, the price/quality ratio wasn't really balanced. There are definitely better Michelin-starred restaurants. So, it's nice for a one-time visit, but not worth returning.

Had a blast with my friend. Many thanks. Great food

When we arrived at the restaurant, we were seated at the bar. Since we were all sitting close together, we were still able to enjoy a pleasant, intimate meal. The dishes came quickly, and the wines were excellent. We had a wonderful evening!

Excellent, refined dishes. Very good wine list. Fast and friendly service.

The food was fantastic (especially duck) and the service was exceptional too. My husband left his spectacles and cash money (!) on the table and the waiter (Serbian guy) ran after us on the street to return it. Respect 🙏 Definitly coming back!

We had an incredibly delicious meal. We will definitely be back.

We had a delicious à la carte lunch on Boxing Day. The dishes, especially the pike-perch, were fantastic. The wines and champagne were delicious. The staff were super friendly. The only downside was that they could somehow find a solution for the coats. Otherwise, it's excellent, just like Le Bistro de la Mer, two doors down. Same owners.

We just had lunch there. It was so terribly cold! I barely tasted what I was eating. And that was on Christmas Day! This is absolutely unacceptable in such an expensive restaurant! Never to return!!

Brilliant service. Amazing food. Booked the chefs table, and for sure it was the most beautiful experience.

The food is fine, no frills. The decor is charming, the service is friendly, but they're missing a few finishing touches. The attention to detail you expect at this level (short waits, handing over coats, opening the door, good oysters, remembering who ordered what, etc.) is lacking here.

Delicious flavors, highly recommended! A bit overpriced for the very small portions.

My wife and I enjoyed an excellent meal over this last weekend. The food is incredible, the staff all brilliant and very fairly priced. Had a quick chat with one of the team outside after my meal and he was as lovely and genuine as his cooking. You could not ask for more, don't think about it, just go!

The food was excellent. The service and kitchen staff were especially friendly. It's a Michelin-star restaurant in terms of food, wine, and flavors, but it actually feels like a neighborhood café. Recommended for those who love good food but don't want to eat in a stuffy place!

The appetizers, Pate en Croûte, Holsteiner Beef Tartare, and the entrées—Puree of 'La Ratte' potatoes, 25g caviar, and Bone Marrow with Mushrooms—were delicious. The steak was excellent, but we didn't need the Iberian Ham on the red mullet. A wonderful experience. We sat upstairs, allowing us to watch the kitchen. Friendly staff. Next time, we'll visit the neighboring Bistro de La Mer.

I recently had dinner at De Juwelier and it ended up being one of those meals you keep thinking about afterward. The steak tartare was the first thing to hit the table, and honestly, it was fantastic, fresh, perfectly seasoned, and just really well put together. It definitely set the bar high right from the start. For the mains, the pike perch really impressed me. Cooked just right, super delicate, and full of flavor with it's sauce, easily one of my favorite dishes of the evening. The duck didn’t quite have the same wow factor, but it was still good, just not as memorable as the rest. All in all, the combination of great food, thoughtful details, and warm service made the whole night special. I’d happily go back and would definitely recommend it if you’re looking for a refined but relaxed dining experience.

The meal was exceptional. The dishes were decadent, absolutely suited to be presented to the Sun King at Versailles. They are quite generous with the white truffles or the caviar or their pours of limited release champagnes that very few have access to. The staff was friendly and kind, knowledgeable and with excellent opinions. Highly recommend the wine pairing. I had an outstanding time here as a solo dinner, but hope to be back again soon with friends and loved ones.

The service was less than expected; we were helped by an English-speaking man, champagne was poured down the drain in two glasses, plates were half-cleared, the rest was left until the next course, and we were expected to reuse cutlery for various dishes... and the ambiance was perfect. The food was fine, not worth a star - less salt and a bit of effort.

Had a fantastic lunch at De Juwelier. First-class service, delicious, refined flavors.

The food was good. The service during dinner was also good. They really went out of their way to make us feel comfortable. A huge disappointment afterward: the lunch cost almost 250 euros, and apparently they thought our tip wasn't enough. After paying, we didn't see anyone again and had to look for our own coats. We didn't know where they were and had to search for them without anyone helping us. And it took ages to find them...really bad. Moreover, it was cold where we were eating.

Truly fantastic restaurant! Everything was perfect: the service, the food, the ambiance. Great wine list too. The best place to sit is upstairs, where you can watch the kitchen at work.

Simplicity, class, and explosions of flavor in a beautiful restaurant. This restaurant proves that simplicity and a relaxed atmosphere can still exude pure class. Run by young professionals who know exactly what they're doing—and you can taste it in a menu that will have you spontaneously eating your napkin. The dishes are classic, but the chef gives each classic such a fantastic twist that you'll wonder why it's not always done this way. The wine list is also so extensive that you'll almost consider studying oenology before choosing. In short: stylish, flavorful, and simply incredibly good—a place you'll leave happy and want to return to very soon. 🍷✨

Great dinner, delicious dishes and good service.

We were freezing cold because the heater was broken. We would have liked to have known this beforehand. The phone number of the reservation was known. It made the experience much less enjoyable, and honestly, for a Michelin-star restaurant, this is unacceptable. Offer a hot drink upon arrival if necessary. We only received an apology, and that was it. The service was way too much on our shoulders. They asked every five minutes if we wanted anything. When you see your guests wanting to slow down, the service staff should adjust accordingly. We didn't want to be standing outside again within an hour. We had to explicitly tell them to give us some space. The beets were freezing cold. You really don't taste as much then. I see this comment echoed in other reviews. It's a shame nothing is done about it. The duck was delicious, as was the caramelized apple. The wine we wanted wasn't available twice. It's unfortunate. They always brought an alternative, but people let you taste it! But no, it was just poured. Amazing for a Michelin-starred restaurant. We also ordered port with dessert, but boy, was it a bit meager. Literally one sip for 18 euros. Could it be a little more? We don't see the Michelin star, unfortunately.

De Juwelier is a fantastic restaurant with delicious dishes. Every dish is French, but made unique with additions like ice cream and foam. The staff is young but knowledgeable and very friendly. One thing that was a real shame about the dessert menu was that the ice cream with olive oil wasn't to our liking. We left it, but nothing was done about it. We weren't given the menu to choose a different dessert. I would have expected this from a 1-star restaurant.

Look. This is a very nice bistro style restaurant. Food is enjoyable. We had the steak tartare (small but wel made), the poached egg and the tub gurnard. All good dishes, but in my view this is not Michelin level cooking. Dishes were enjoyable but nothing really outstanding or surprising. Wine list was well constructed and not overly expensive (although not cheap).

One of the finest dining experiences I’ve had in Amsterdam. Everything was exceptional, the food was outstanding. I’m surprised it isn’t rated five stars across the board. I’ll definitely return. If you love good food and good wine paired with the best service and cozy atmosphere go here!

amazing service, the food was delicious and you can choose what you’d like, compared to many of the Michelin restaurants where you get their set menus.

Cozy interior, friendly service and mega delicious food, what more could you want ❤️

Yesterday we had beautiful gems of dishes that went well together in terms of taste and ingredients, the matching wines were pearls, the service was brilliant and shone in everything it did, all in all a diamond to go back to

I don't mean to be unfair, but unfortunately, there's nothing impressive about it! There are restaurants in Amsterdam that I'm much more impressed with for the same price. Also, even though it wasn't crowded, the service was slow. The only thing that made me happy was the small gesture they did for my son's birthday.

A wonderful dining experience with outstanding food and lovely staff. The duck was beautifully cooked and the dessert was amazing! It was also well prices. Highly recommend! Make sure you book though.

My partner and I chose De Juwelier for our 15th anniversary dinner. ​The service was top-notch! They made everything possible (and even more) to make us enjoy the evening. ​We started with a glass of champagne, Irish oysters, and a smoked cheese souffle besides a delicious, creamy butter with bread. ​For appetizers - pate and beef tartare. The pate with foie gras was a work of art! The tartare with oyster was an interesting, yet delightful combination. ​For mains, we ordered red gurnard and seabass. Red gurnard with Iberico ham, paired with a salty, foamy sauce, resulted in a flavorful and strong dish. The seabass, served with its scales, created a perfect balance in terms of texture. The aroma of fennel complemented the fish and added freshness. Thanks to the team, the wine pairing elevated both dishes. ​Last but not least, the baba au rum was an inventive and interesting finish to the evening. Will definitely revisit in a random day.

Have been recommended to try this place, the food was good.

Went there after a very disappointing dinner and I gotta say, this place did not disappoint! We only had two desserts and a couple drinks but the precision being the dish that we got were so well executed. I wish we had more time to spend in Amsterdam to go back I try the rest of the menu.

A very good and cozy restaurant with beautifully presented and delicious combinations of different courses. The wine pairing is excellent. Absolutely fantastic!

Love this restaurant! Always good food and top service

Like all my reviews, it's all about expectations. This one delivers! Exactly what I expect from an "a la carte" 1 star. Great service, delicious, known dishes cooked extra well. They also had pretty good wine knowledge!

Fantastic journey and exactly what we needed. Kitchen fantastic and service sublime. Great wine list and mostly French. We went for SA and ES. Fantastic combo. A rough week, great to reboot this way. Will come back

You'll find delicious cuisine, a sophisticated atmosphere, an excellent drink menu, and friendly service here.

The third Michelin Star Restaurant from Richard van Oostenbrugge and Thomas Groot, this one a Bistro, focuses on classics in an a la carte format where all dishes are similarly portioned for sharing thanks to a recent menu change. Located mere steps from Bistro de la Mere, bar seats leading to a staircase with tables one story above, guests will find service quickly paced but perhaps a little understaffed as a lone man tended to delivering and clearing plates for five tables while neglecting beverage service. High-priced for what is essentially French Tapas, €7 “Streetfood” inspired Souffles two bites at most, dry Reisling pairs well to starters such as lean Beef Tartare complimented by the Sea as well as a steamed “Souffle” reminiscent if Quenelle de Brochet. Impressing with Pate en Croute, a thin slice but nicely textured, confit Turbot seems unneccesarily complicated while €33 each sees Sweetbreads amidst Olives a far better proposition that a single slice of glazed Duck. Not afraid to go bold with local Lamb, wrapped for texture in a rich Sauce bolstered by Cumin, Paprika and Harissa, Sweets all come kissed by Booze with both Pecan Pie and a flaky baked Apple outpacing a Ducasse-priced Baba at roughly half the size.

We would have expected more from a Michelin-starred restaurant. The four-seater table in front of the restroom entrance is a no-go!

Wonderful experience. Our waiter Alex was amazing. The food was good and the apple pie dessert was out of this world.

The food atmosphere is super good ~ relaxing and casual ~ more suitable for today's young people! The price is comparable to Shanghai Bund
