De Nachtwacht in Grachtengordel-Zuid

Everything started very well, and the atmosphere was great. The waitress then took all the drinks and food (only two people) without writing it down. Later, the wrong steak and wrong side dishes arrived. That's fine, it can happen, although very annoying. But then it took over 30 minutes for a new steak to arrive. We were about to leave. The steak was cooked to the wrong degree (it was now English), and the side dishes were already cold. Unfortunately, the waitress didn't take care of the mistake quickly and correctly.

Excellent meat, unfortunately it took almost an hour to enjoy it, high prices

I have eaten steak at world renowned steak houses in San Francisco and Chicago, and this rib eye was one of the best I’ve ever had. Absolutely delicious. Had the baked potato with it. Everything including the service was perfect!

Gotta love the food, the music, the overall vibe of the place is right up my alley. money well spent and I'm pretty lucky, coz it's right next to my house. I wholeheartedly recommend everyone to have a look

Very friendly Staff members, plenty of options to modify dishes to your liking, I can't remember any other place that keeps the quality on regular basis. Every time I visit, they keep up the good work. 10/10! on my scale. I take my kids almost every weekend

My first visit was on Valentine's day, took my girlfriend for a brief time, she loved it more than I've anticipated, so we have a new yearly tradition to come here for every celebration. I love how relaxing and friendly the atmosphere is. Big thanks to the staff!

Service was quick despite the busy location, and while prices are a bit high, the quality makes it worth it. If you love a great Beef satay in Amsterdam, this place is a must-visit! 🍷🥩

I'm very picky when it comes to places, my family recommended it several times and I checked the place. well, now it's my number one go to for occasional after-business meetings. I very very much recommend French/Italian cuisine, probably better than most restaurants I've been to in Netherlands!

A beautiful dining experience with a superb ambiance, excellent service from Antonios

Food was a bit on the cold side...but very tasty!!

Great steaks and cocktails! Very friendly staff! Thank you so much! Had dinner with a friend, three courses, everything was awesome! Highly recommended!!!

The streak was just perfect! We visited for my partners birthday weekend and stumbled across this hidden gem. Funky music and melt in the mouth steak! 100% recommend x

We were able to be seated last minute with no prior reservation. The food was excellent as well as the service. Would definitely recommend.

Unbelievably good ribs. Cannot recommend enough.

Food was amazing staff are super friendly and helpful! Would 100% recommend and not badly priced😊

Great service, food was amazing and a nice atmosphere. The ribs for starter were amazing. I had the Rib-eye XL and it was cooked to perfection. Great view also from the restaurant.

Super fijne bediening en heerlijk gegeten. De saté was heerlijk en surf & turf was heerlijk. Goede smaak en super mals. De heaters werken top voor als je buiten wilt zitten

Heel goed vlees, lekkere patat en goed bier en qua prijs goed te doen het vlees was aan de buitenkant alleen een beetje aangekookt maar maakt niet uit!

If you visit Amsterdam, this restaurant is a place you cannot miss. It offers excellent value for money, with exquisite cuisine and a cozy atmosphere, tastefully decorated. The service is impeccable, attentive and efficient. But, without a doubt, the best is its cuisine: the onion soup, burrata and truffle carpaccio were spectacular. Each dish was delicious, and it is surprising that, for the quality offered, the prices are lower than usual in the city. Totally recommended, 100%.

Llegamos tarde a Amsterdam, y terminamos en este restaurante por recomendación del hotel en el que nos alojábamos, que estaba cerca (mansión de los bancos). No teníamos reserva, pero como eran casi las 10 de la noche pudimos conseguir una mesa. El restaurante todavía estaba muy ocupado, con un ambiente muy animado. Nuestra camarera era muy amable, e impresionó que mi esposa hablaba holandés bastante bien. De todas formas como estábamos cansados de viajar, decidimos saltarnos la entrada y simplemente tomar un plato principal. Mi esposa tenía el salmón a la parrilla y yo los muslos de pollo adobados. Ambos platos se cocinaron muy bien, el salmón estaba bien puesto, y el pollo tenía mucho sabor. Tuvimos una guarnición de verduras y patatas fritas, además de una bebida antes de la cena y una botella de vino. Toda la cena cuesta Euro 95. Tal vez un poco en el lado caro, tal vez, pero la comida, el servicio y el ambiente eran todos muy buenos.

Wonderful restaurant with amazingly attentive staff! We had a wonderful family dinner there whilst visiting Amsterdam. Will definitely visit again as food was lush

The food was amazing best steak I’ve had and the price wasn’t a problem at all very much worth the price would definitely come back

Very good quality and attentive service. Recommended!

Superb food , attentive service .

I didn't give it five stars because the service was a bit awkward/slow. When I walked in, it took me a while to be acknowledged which felt icky. Luckily, once seated, the waitress who served me was very friendly. The food was okay. Nothing to trip over, but it satisfied my cravings. I ordered steak and fries. The steak tasted a little charred/burnt. I ordered medium well. The fries were tasty. The best part of this restaurant is the view. I sat on the patio and people-watched. It has a wonderful view of the square. Lots to look at when you dine outside.

Very nice steaks and ribs, good atmosphere, quick service. And Antonis is excellent!! Thank you !!

Delicious ribs. I think even the best ever! They really fall off the bone. Also great non-traditional cocktails.

While visiting Amsterdam I was able to try this establishment with my boyfriend. We had the prime rib for two, the meat was super tasty and well cooked. As the previous comments mention, a little disappointing that the accompaniment is counted extra but other than that nothing to complain about.

A very nice place with extremely nice and polite service and delicious food. We definitely recommend the ribs!

A unique place that delights from the first moment. Ribs – world championship! Juicy, perfectly seasoned, they melt in your mouth. In addition, a well-selected wine that enhanced the taste of the dishes. Service? A class of its own. The waiter responded to everything with sensitivity and a smile on his face, before we even had time to ask for anything. As soon as he noticed us wiping our hands on paper napkins, wet wipes immediately appeared. He advised on portion sizes - he was spot on. Thanks to this, we felt pampered and taken care of. Going to this restaurant is not just a meal - it is a real culinary pleasure and comfort that is so often missing today. I recommend it wholeheartedly!

By reading the very good reviews about the spareribs, I felt it necessary to check whether it was all true. And it was really worth it! It is a very nice place with very friendly and fast service. Delicious cocktail and then the spareribs...delicious, so delicious. Definitely recommended if you come and eat here. But it's best to make a reservation. If we come to the Netherlands/Amsterdam again, we will definitely come back here. That's a promise.

Everything was fine, it's just a pity that there is only an English menu from which you can order food. I think we still live in the Netherlands!!

The food was not the best. The beef skewers were very amateur I would recommend the following: If you're making beef skewers in peanut sauce, the dish should be rich and flavorful without being overly sweet or sickly. To achieve a balanced taste the chef should: 1. Control Sweetness – Use natural peanut butter (unsweetened) and balance it with acidity (lime juice, vinegar) and umami (soy sauce, fish sauce). Avoid too much sugar or honey. 2. Enhance Depth – Add aromatics like garlic, ginger, and shallots for complexity. A touch of chili or paprika can counteract excessive sweetness. 3. Use the Right Consistency – The sauce should be smooth and slightly thick but not overly heavy. Add coconut milk or broth to adjust texture. 4. Marinate the Beef Properly – Let the beef absorb flavors from soy sauce, garlic, and spices before grilling for extra depth. 5. Grill Correctly – Sear the skewers on high heat to get a smoky char, enhancing the flavor without drying out the meat. 6. Serve Thoughtfully – Pair with fresh elements like a cucumber salad or pickled vegetables to cut through the richness. This approach keeps the dish flavorful, balanced, and enjoyable without becoming cloy Sorry but very average and aimed at tourists.

Very good restaurant to visit with such a quite and nice atmosphere 👍... the taste of meat is perfect 👌

We been twice to this restaurant..it's was just so good and tasty food..

We had a fantastic evening here at the night watch. Great service and delicious food and drinks. Very friendly staff.

Amazing food and feel to this place. Food was really great and loads of it staff could be a bit friendly but maybe language barrier affected this. Anyway would definitely come back in a heartbeat for the food alone ♥️

Excellent meat. Warm decor. Efficient and friendly servers. Very good address in a very pleasant area for a "digestive" stroll.

Incredibly delicious spare ribs!!! Very, very tender meat with a sweet, slightly smoky marinade and a very tasty garlic dip. The service was also great. Very friendly staff.

We had the best time at this restaurant. The staff were very friendly and anticipated what you might need it want before you had to ask. The food was just to die for and flavours were great. I think that was the best steak I've ever had. Highly recommend this establishment!!

Top steak tasted very good! Greetings from Vienna

Delicious food. Beautiful meat and delicious wine... the brownie dessert was a great ending and delicious

It was a birthday dinner and everyone had a delicious meal.

As good as it is expensive, but absolutely worth it! Very good food Generous portions, we spent just over €50 each The only small inconvenience: we had taken a bottle of red wine and a glass of white, but they had initially charged two bottles on the bill We pointed it out and they immediately corrected the bill, but always take a look because they had also charged incorrect things at the next table

The staff were really friendly and the food was served in a timely manner. There was a good drink selection and these were brought over quickly. My fillet steak was slightly overcooked but still tasted great. The sirloin was slightly undercooked but still well-received. I'd definitely return to this restaurant.

Excellent experience! Amazing French onion soup, high quality and well cooked meat. Furthermore, the guys inside are nice and friendly, they welcomed us even if the kitchen was about to close.

Reservamos este restaurante antes de nuestra visita a Amsterdam en diciembre, tuvimos un cumpleaños, así que queríamos asegurarnos de que teníamos una buena comida reservada. Enseguida el ambiente es fantástico, se encuentra con gran y mantequilla de ajo que era exuberante! Luego, después de eso, elegimos una botella de vino tinto (a un precio razonable y muy agradable) y nos fuimos a pedir algo de comida. El camarero era encantador y se aseguró de que elegimos los mejores filetes y lados para nuestros gustos. La comida estaba entre los mejores filetes que hemos tomado y por un precio razonable también, nada era demasiado y si volvemos a Amsterdam volveremos a visitar seguro.

We return to De Nachtwacht every time we are in Amsterdam for the last 12 years. This time we didn’t have a reservation during the Christmas week and the place was packed, but Andy made his best to find us a seat for a quick dinner at a place that we really love for its food and now also for its quality of service, we’ll definitely keep on coming back

Delicious steak flawlessly prepared as you prefer. Fries could be better, though. It's a very nice place to visit, unless there is a football game.

Estaba con mi esposa y dos hijos pequeños. Aparecimos sin reserva y nos mostraron a una mesa por una joven llamada Felino. Durante toda la noche el servicio fue excepcionalmente amable y profesional y disfrutamos de una experiencia gastronómica, no solo una comida, con mis hijos probando ancas de rana para el tiempo también! Nos divertimos tanto que volvimos la noche siguiente, de nuevo sin reserva; de nuevo, no hay problema. También tuvimos la suerte de tener Felino servir nuestra comida de nuevo. No puedo enfatizar lo buena que es la joven con una sonrisa que realmente ilumina la habitación y se felicita con modales impecables - ella es un activo absoluto para el restaurante Gracias y nos vemos en la próxima visita. Feliz Navidad y año nuevo a todos ustedes

Yesterday I was in this restaurant for the first time, I want to note that the food is very tasty, there is a very wide variety of cuisines from different countries, also French Dutch, I recommend very tasty meat, as well as desserts, the service is at the highest level, treats you well and is very attentive, the location is simply wonderful, it is in the center

We were a table of two, got there quite early at around 16:00. My table mate ordered a grilled Salmon and vegtables and I ordered the Entrecôte steak and baked potato with Béarnaise sauce. The food was mediocre at best, not gross just plain and bland and the grill marks gave the dishes a burnt taste instead of the carmelised goodness most people are after, we think that at the 20-35 euro price-point for a main course it isn't a good tradeoff. The service and atmosphere were really nice inside the restaurant, but again, we were there quite early and pretty much alone. As it is Amsterdam and it is December, it's important to note that it was raining outside, and we did see several locations in the outdoor veranda seating area that had leaks over the tables. So outdoor seating isn't recommended.

Delicious food and good service. You can sit here nicely and the employees are very friendly. I will definitely come back again.

Excellent relaxed restaurant with great dishes and a great bar. Highly recommend the beef tenderloin Satay.

I had been looking forward to having a nice meal here for my birthday for a week, unfortunately the cancellation was made on the same day, of course you can't do anything about it and the money for the reservation was quickly refunded, but despite booking a few hours in advance was canceled, I could no longer go to another restaurant, whatever I had in mind. Shame! Maybe see you next year then.

So good! Went two nights in a row to this gem in Rembrandtplein. Food is great, get any steak with the Pepper Sauce its amazing. Staff is very friendly!

Was in January and in July. Got really disappointed the second time. First time was great and I was full after eating. Second time I left while still being hungry. In the image is the same thing, ribs and stake combo, just few months apart.

We first sat at a tent opposite here, just had a nice glass of wine and that was it, then we were referred to the night watch and we didn't regret it at all, we came in, nice music, nice atmosphere and were immediately helped nicely by Corne, we just had to have a drink. Waited half an hour and then immediately got a table, lady steak was fantastic!! wine and service definitely worth 5 stars

Have known this business for over 50 years. Nostalgia at its best when we visit Amsterdam. Meat dishes from the grill with baked potato are excellent. Friendly service.

Fast, welcoming and friendly service. Really good food. We had a great time. Highly recommended!

Καταπληκτικό μαγαζί . Εξαιρετικά πιάτα , ζεστός και άνετος χώρος . Το προσωπικό του καταστήματος ακραία καλό και εξυπηρετικό . Ειδικά ο ANTONI τρομερός τύπος με διάθεση και χιούμορ

Great place for a nice occasion

Great place. Meat 10/10. We'll stop by again on our next trip to Amsterdam.

Today we had another delicious meal with the five of us. One of the better places to eat in Amsterdam 😊

I haven't been there for years, but my best memories are of my dinners with my bestie José Kars(Jos). Before going out, an appetizer with prawns and/or onion soup, a bottle of their best white wine, sancerre, and then a nice thick ribeye or entrecote. Best memory ever. Hope to come back again. Kisses Ella

Everything was excellent, the staff, food and cocktails, I highly recommend! Especially on cold and humid days this place will make your evening better. The bartender is friendly and professional, great discovery. The pork ribs are fabulous!

Visitamos De Nachtwacht para celebrar nuestro aniversario de bodas, y fue una experiencia inolvidable! El ambiente era cálido y acogedor, por lo que es el escenario perfecto para nuestra ocasión especial. Los filetes fueron absolutamente increíbles, algunos de los mejores que hemos probado. Cocinado a la perfección, cada bocado estaba lleno de sabores increíbles que nos dejaron sin palabras. Los laterales y acompañamientos eran igual de deliciosos, complementando perfectamente los platos principales. El personal era amable, atento, y nos hizo sentir como en casa desde el momento en que llegamos. Sus recomendaciones fueron puntuales, y el servicio se sumó a la increíble experiencia gastronómica general. De Nachtwacht es una visita obligada para los amantes de los filetes en Amsterdam. Estaremos hablando de esta comida durante mucho tiempo y sin duda lo recomendaremos a cualquiera que visite la ciudad!

Came here on a recommendation from a friend, we loved it. The meat was cooked perfectly. The lobster soup was great.

Even if a little bit noisy and our table just in front of the door (chilly when people came in and out) food was very good, saumon very tasty. Notice cider is bandit, nothing local.

Abbiamo cenato qui dopo aver visto le recensioni su Trip ed è stato veramente ottimo tutto! Cercavamo della carne di qualità e siamo stati soddisfatti pienamente! Carne ottima filetto tenerissimo e prezzi in linea con la qualità! Staff super cordiale specie il barista… gentilissimo e simpatico! Se volete mangiare della buona carne in un posto carino e pagare il giusto entrate pure!

We wanted to dine at this highly rated restaurant. We managed to get a table and honestly it was good. Salmon shrimp or chicken (a little overcooked) but we had a good dinner. Special mention to the really great staff. The very “Amsterdam” prices a little high all the same

Amazing place and atmosphere! Don‘t mind sitting at the bar, it was really nice.

Really liked the atmosphere, the place is cozy and has a kind of Parisian vibe. They serve nice Cremant by glasses for 8 eur, which is much appreciated. The steak tartar is well-flavored, but nothing exceptional. The fillet steak cooked properly, not chewy and juicy. It missed bright meaty flavor though, as if it was frozen before. The starter was served quite quickly, while the main dish took an extended waiting time. Side dishes were served separately, with 5-10 min gap with the steaks, which was very convenient. I would go there for nice evening with cremant and starters (haven’t tried the escargots, but I recognized amazing smell from the neighbor table).

We had the most amazing experience here, mostly thanks to the waiter, Mahmud, who did all the efforts to make us have a great time. The food was amazing, and so was the wine. We highly recommend it, and we'll come again for sure.

Great food and service. The ribs are really good.

Delicious food. We chose to eat at the bar. The bartender was very pleasant and was also well informed about the products that were sold. Furthermore, the food was also very tasty. I thought a little more flavor could be added to the froglegs sauce, but I was the only one in the group who agreed with that. All in all a very successful dinner. Thank you.

Delicious meat and steak restaurant in the lively nightlife area of ​​Amsterdam. It's nice to sit in, but it's a bit noisy. The staff is very nice, the dishes are all delicious. The wine list is extensive. The only thing that bothered me was that the sauces and garlic butter all seemed to be bought and not homemade. At this price level I would have liked that. Nevertheless: a recommendation.

Nous sommes allés dans ce beau restaurant a l occasion d un voyage en amoureux avec mon époux et nous sommes ravis nous avons commandé et nous avons été servi rapidement les mets étaient délicieux le personnel charmant ( et je p excuse je suis partie sans laisser de pourboire) c était une occasion spéciale mais je recommande vivement ce très bon restaurant ! Nous y retournerons la prochaine fois sans hésiter !!

GREAT steaks. Super slow service. We had to wait more than an hour for our steaks.

The shrimp appetizer was on fire. The main course was a bit less. Danny's service was great

Tasty ribs and grilled salmon was also ok, cozy interior

Cote de beuf as a medium is my recommendation 🫶

Excelente cena! El servicio es muy bueno! Te recomiendan, sugieren y apoyan en consultas del menú! Relación calidad precio muy buena!

Which sensible restaurant chops the lamb chop into tiny pieces…and so much bones. Even the all you can serve in the traditional shape… comon

Wonderful thing. We walked in last night and were able to eat at the bar. Excellent service from bartender Corne who, by the way, understands the trade of upselling very well :-). We shared two starters and at the bartender's recommendation - outside the menu - we ate the flat iron steak. Unfortunately the baked potato was sold out, but we also had dinner a little later in the evening. Was great! The only downside is that Pepsi is served and not Coca-Cola. But hey, not everything can be perfect.

It looked nice until I sat down I asked the clerk if they had bitterballen and they said We only have what's on the menu buddy A very rude response. The bread came within 1 minute it was poorly cut. I literally had to tear it loose at the bottom, it was so hard. And dry the Butter was of stone and the bread was also cold. I also tried to signal to the waiter, but was completely ignored. Bad food rude staff

Very tasty meat, slightly more expensive than the competition - but good location and very attentive service.

The ribs+ribeye combo is interesting for a lunch to share with the family, much appreciated even by the little one 😊

Had a disappointing lunch, ordered a steak and ribs, ribs were okay but the steak was a bit cold when served. We have to wait for almost 40minutes for our main dishes.

Service is great but the food is just okay.

We had a fillet, a ribeye and the pork ribs. They were all excellent!

I did not have a good experience with this restaurant. I have been here before and wanted to come back. So I came in 2 hours early to make a reservation. And since I am alone I did not want to take up a table. Generous of me, right? So I requested a place at the bar. I could have made this reservation online, but I decided to do it in person. The man confirmed it and told me he would keep the seat for me. I return after two hours to see a full restaurant and a full bar. No place left for me. Why did I even bother to come in and make the reservation? The man then opened a space at a table with two other guests outside (pretty cold and weird to join another table) and I asked him why my reservation was not honoured. I had to wait till the bar was clear. I refused and left and went to Royal Hotel Restaurant and had the bést filet mignon ever. Next time I will go there again: nice seating and great food.

Great service, amazing food and the best location

Way too expensive and poor quality. I didn't know you could cook chicken charred and (hopefully just) almost raw at the same time

Super fun evening, great service, delicious meal. Enjoyed the Amsterdam conviviality and hospitality. The effort with dessert due to an allergy was especially nice. Highly recommended

Very probably one of the best time I had in a restaurant. What else to say ? Great service, stunning food and well decorated environnement. A bit Thanks to Mimo and the team for the service !

Wine was shit, steak was good but was medium rare when I ordered medium. Veggies were good and service was fine.

The food is delicious, but the service is really bad. I put the bowl down like I was throwing it and there was still beer left so I cleaned up all the dishes.

The restaurant was cozy and comfortable. We booked a reservation for our group of 18 and they had a nice spot for our group to sit. The communication pre-event was wonderful and the greeting upon arrival was welcoming. The staff took great care of us, keeping each course at a comfortable pace so we could spend time talking to each other. The food was delicious, the drink menu full and the service very personable.

Prompting waiters. Not pushy, helpful. Espresso martini was on point! Got the fillet steak and lamb chops. Asked for medium. Fillet steak was definitely on the rare side. Other than that, food was delicious and nice atmosphere.
