Duende Dos in Jordaan

As a Dutch person you are completely immersed in the Spanish language by waiter Rafael.

Very nice restaurant. A bit pricey though.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – Authentic Spanish flavor in Amsterdam 🇪🇸🐙 Excellent place to enjoy authentic Spanish food. The Galician octopus was perfect: tender, flavorful, and with that touch of paprika and olive oil that makes it irresistible. The atmosphere was cozy, the service was friendly, and the prices were fair. Highly recommended!

Perfect!! I've eaten here three times already and it never disappoints. Rafael is super friendly and kept us well-maintained all evening. The food is like being in Spain. Now it's my regular go-to.

The bartender, Rafael, was a sweetheart, the food was delicious. And afterward, I really enjoyed it too. Definitely recommended if you want to try South American cuisine!

Incredible food, great service and a lovely atmosphere. We initially booked into here because another restaurant was unavailable but we’re glad we came here! Such a shame we don’t live in Amsterdam as I’m sure we’d be here every week! Would recommend the agua de Valencia - lovely and lethal!

Rafael is simple the best! I recommend this place 200%

One of my favorite restaurants for a cozy meal. Great place!

Service is amazing and everyone is so kind :) Rafael is really sweet and always has a fun interaction with the table!

We have a Spanish background. The food was delicious. Truly Spanish. Nice and chaotic Spanish, too. Wonderful atmosphere.

Galician-Spanish food is very abundant and delicious, it's a piece of Spain in Amsterdam

Great place! We really enjoyed it, Rafael was a great waiter, hospitable, and a real atmosphere maker!

Rafael is very handsome! It was great service and amazing food! Thank you so much!

Our first meal in Amsterdam was a wonderful one. Excellent service, wonderful ambience, friendly manager, and delicious food. If it wasn't our first time in the city, we would've definitely gone a second time so next time will be just as wonderful.

A Spanish tapas type restaurant. Sort of playing on the traditional Spanish tapa bar. The food was ok. Service was good and the atmosphere was nice. Prices as expected. Great to go as a group. Being from Spain, I would say the tapas could be better, but nevertheless worth a visit and having a taste of Spain in AMS.

The food is really good, the staff is also nice The only thing they must improve is the AC, this is need because the place becomes a sauna in hot days.

Delicious authentic Spanish food. Everything was delicious. Relaxed, warm atmosphere.

Rafael, the best service and friend of the restaurant! Excellent food

Nice cozy Spanish restaurant with affordable prices

Amazing night, good food and great service from Rafael

Rafael was an amazing waiter for the night, and we had an amazing birthday party for a friend of ours. Please visit and have an amazing night with your friends!

Delicious food and a great atmosphere! Thanks, Rafael!

The acoustics are terrible. The noise level is so high that it’s almost impossible to keep a conversation. I don’t know how the service was because you couldn’t hear the waiters. The really need to fix this.

Great atmosphere, great staff, great food

I loved Duende Dos. The service was excellent, everyone was really friendly, and the fish was so fresh and tasty. I have so many favorites on the menu that it’s hard to choose just one! This was my second time here this week, and I’ll definitely be back!

Amazing food and great service. Really recommend going here!

Really a super nice atmosphere, nice staff and delicious food! Rafael was really the perfect host!

The most fun, cozy place to eat ever! Service very nice, feels like coming home and you want to go back here every weekend 💖🌈

Best place ever!!!! So cosy, the staf is amazing and so sweet and helpful and crazy fast service!!

We had dinner here one evening and it was great. Super tasty food and Rafael helped us out great.

Highly recommended! They serve fresh fish and they know how to cook it very well. They know how to advise you on the orders because you would like to taste a lot, but then you would not be able to eat it all. Friendly staff. Maybe the place is a little too noisy, but it depends on the volume of the voices of the customers.

Very qualified staff, very good food, thank you for everything, we will definitely return

Paella Marinera had no taste at all. Rice was very dry, hardly any herbs (was light orange) fish very dry and overcooked.

Good afternoon, my partner and I ate there on Sunday. The service and food were excellent. The waiters were very attentive. Thank you, Rafael, for your kindness and attention to us. The food was very good. Thank you for your kindness. We will definitely return.

Fantastic food, fantastic staff (fantastic barman rafael) Nothing but perfect! Highly recommended :)

Love this restaurant! Especially Rafael, love him

Food ok but portions too small for the asking price. Be careful because the photos of the menu that you find here refer to 5 years ago, the prices have drastically increased. Eg. Polpo alla Gallega on the Maps menu cost 11 euros, now on the restaurant menu 17.50.

delicious spanish restaurant....1 star less because they do not have english menu😮‍💨

Very nice atmosphere too, it's just sometimes too noisy to have a conversation but I think that's part of it

We went to both, this is the nicest one for interior. But very rude staff mamber. and older taller and bigger gentleman that smack plates on tables and doesnt like his work at all. Probably should look for something else. The rest was nice especially the girl that helped us.

super nice Spanish restaurant muy chevere este restaurante Espanol Very nice Spanish restaurant food is terrific 😋 la comida spectacular 👌 het eten is heerlijk 👍

Great food, very cozy for friends, family or dates! Special thanks to Rafael for his sympathy and for how fast he served us! I will definitely will come again

Amazing, true spanish vibe, delicious food and amazing staff who make it unforgattable experience - especially Rafael! Highly recommend ;)

Very good Spanish restaurant. Great selection of tapas, very good location with very reasonable prices for the quality. Thanks to Rafael for the welcome!

The waitresses are very hard-working and the food is excellent. We will return. Thanks Rafael.

I had reserved a table well in advance, but was never informed that we would only have it for 1.5 hours. When our time was up, the staff abruptly asked us to leave — it felt like we were being kicked out. The tapas were underwhelming and definitely not worth the hype or the two-week wait for a reservation. There are much better tapas spots in the city with far better service. I won’t be returning.

For that kind of price-to-quality ratio, I definitely wouldn’t recommend this place. If you’re craving the tapas experience you had in Spain, this is definitely not the right spot. The patatas bravas were quite bland, and the tomato-garlic bread was very basic. The only thing we actually enjoyed was the fried calamari.

This my favourite restaurant to go to with friends or have an intimate dinner. The food is delicious and very good value for money. Rafa is an amazing host and waiter and brings a lot of joy to the table. I recommend this place to everyone that hasn't tried it yet!

the best restaurant in amsterdam!! at duende dos you will not only find very delicious tapas, but also the sweetest and most fun ambiance, and super kind-hearted people. rafa, thank you! ❤️

Best restaurant in Amsterdam!! My friends and I go all the time ❤️ Never disappoints! (Rafa is the best)

A visit to Duende Dos, a Spanish restaurant nestled in Amsterdam, proved to be an amazing experience. The food tasted wonderfully authentic, prepared with the kind of care and heartiness you'd expect from a delicious home-cooked meal. Located in the vibrant Jordaan district, Duende Dos offers a genuine taste of Spain. Rather than feeling overly formal, the atmosphere was delightfully cozy, perfectly complementing the thoughtfully prepared tapas and traditional Spanish dishes. It truly felt like enjoying a carefully made meal in a warm, inviting setting, capturing the essence of Spanish hospitality. The dedication to quality and the evident passion in the cooking shone through in every bite

Rafa was amazing, food was super good and I loved the environment!

It was Amazing, everything about it! (A little expensive but worth it)

Fantastic good food for a very reasonable price. You feel like you are in Spain because of the hustle and bustle in the restaurant😂 Delicious! So it is not the right place if you want to have a quiet chat and eat a bite:) Sangria really recommended!

Rafel is a very customer-friendly person Good food and top service

Food fantastic but noisy environment. Service was ok.

The food is delicious. As a Spaniard who has been living here for 3 years, I always recommend this restaurant. Delicious portions, good atmosphere and super friendly staff. Rafa is a crack! Super recommended

Everything was delicious. The food 1000 out of 10 the waiter Rafa very friendly and helpful

crazy good food!!! and the staff is incredibly friendly

Loved it here. Great staff and authentic food.

this place is not just a restaurant, the food is magical.

Delicious and authentic feeling taste of Spain in Amsterdam. Really enjoyed it. Especially the fresh sardines and asparagus

A hidden gem near central Amsterdam, this traditional Spanish restaurant serves up some of the best tapas in town. Authentic, vibrant, and full of flavor, it’s a favorite among both locals and the Spanish community — with a team of Spanish staff that brings the true taste of Spain to life. If you’re a tapas lover, this place is a must.

Real Spanish food. Warm, cozy welcome. Top.

Great fun evening!! Delicious food! Great service. Definitely worth it!

Great food and atmosphere. The waiters are friendly and fast

A piece of Spain in Amsterdam, Spanish staff and audience. Tasty food and nice atmosphere

Rafael was the best! We had an amazing night!

Amazing tapas! Very tasty. Place is very crowded for dinner and pretty loud.

Amazing Spanish place I'm the middle of Amsterdam. Always well attended by Rafael

I’m cutting carbs but their paella is irresistible

You imagine yourself in Spain, the entourage, atmosphere and service, semi chaotic as can be expected. Food was fine with the exception of the fish soup, way too peppery! Everything else is fine! Had a delicious sangria, because that's part of it.

Nothing to say, one of the best Spanish restaurants in Amsterdam. Excellent value for money.

The ambiance was amazing! It felt like the night flew by, especially because of Rafael! Great service and great night! Solid 10 out of 10.

Perfect evening! Rafa was great.

Rafa has been amazing! Food is great, feeling like being in Spain!

Excellent food, Rafael was the best host. Definitely be back.

Amazing experience!! Raphael was so lovely and warm, made us all feel so loved! ❤️

Had a great time, lovely atmosphere, food was delicious and so was the wine and beer. Will be back for sure.

the food is amazing and our waiter Raffael literally made our night! xoxo from the girls!

My favorite tapas place in Amsterdam! And Raphael really makes the experience perfect with his amazing service! 💋

The best place to eat well and with a good atmosphere. Unbeatable quality - price. Best to book. Super friendly and attentive staff. 😍

Typical Spanish dishes, very tasty. You'd have to eat three or four tapas to feel full. We were served quickly and friendly without a reservation.

Best Spanish food in Amsterdam, we came here a group of 13 and Rafa made our night amazing!! Fully recommend!!

Frozen fish and not so tasty as expected from reviews, bad experience

Loved the vibe, service!! Pulpo & Paella mixta was 👌🏾

We just wandered in on Friday night without a reservation, at first there was only room at the bar, but soon we got a table. They were very flexible, delicious food, helpful servers.

Very tasty food with really good and fast service,

We loved the food and Rafael is the best waiter!

Great tapas restaurant! Been here multiple times and it's such a nice place with very lovely staff and the food is great. If you want real good tapas then this is the place to be!

Delicious food and cozy seating

Great atmosphere, the food is great!

Always good, the ropa vieja brings me straight to Cuba

The best Spanish restaurant in Holland by far. The employees are super nice, and Jesús the cook is a crack!!! Super recommended

Very good food. Good service. Very fast.

The food is very tasty. However, it felt a bit overpriced, particularly when dining with a larger group. Even though we ordered the grill mix for fewer people than we were, the final bill still ended up being quite higher than expected. It's definitely worth it for the flavor, but be prepared for the cost.

Great, but don't forget to book because they have a good clientele and you can easily get a table...

The way it should taste. Close your eyes, taste it and imagine yourself in Spain. Without fuss, honest food with quality products. Prices very reasonable!! Stuffed eggplant is a bit on the expensive side in terms of size. But perhaps it turned out a bit small by chance. But definitely recommended, but book in advance!

Amazing Spanish restaurant in AMS. Feels like you’re transported to a tapas bar in Spain. Urge you to give it a try. Recommended: their Sangria 🍷

Lekker gegeten, authentieke Spaanse tapas, prima wijn erbij. Jammer dat de bediening gehaast en zonder enige aandacht voor klant of eten was.
