Formosa Argentina in Burgwallen-Nieuwe Zijde

Cozy place, great service, food was really tasty!

Very cute restaurant! The food was excellent and the service too! You should definitely give it a chance!

Great prices for food, we had 2 sets of mixed for 6 people and it was plenty. Great services too.

E great meal The meet was tender and juicy presented with great sauces Really a lovely experience to repeat

My husband and I were pleasantly surprised by this small but very welcoming restaurant. The quality of the meat was super, everything was really delicious and the staff was top ✨️

It's a small restaurant, but the steak is big and delicious, and they also have a really tasty meat and vegetable soup.

We ate at this little restaurant and I have to say that the staff was very welcoming, kind and courteous...even though we don't speak English very well, they were very patient. But then again, everything was delicious and the meat was very tender! We were satisfied and full and I highly recommend it.

Thomas took care of us, the service was excellent. He was a great waiter. The food was also delicious. We had a mixed grill, and the meat was very good.

The food is so good and the waitress was very friendly

We enjoyed a lot. The meat was Great and the waiters were very friendly and helpful.

Excellent place, delicious food, Tomas was super friendly and very helpful.

In Amsterdam, you'll notice, as I did, that everything is considerably more expensive 🫰, but don't be fooled, here the average meal costs around €21 and it's worth it. The ribs are tender and flavorful, and the entrecote is quite good. The potatoes are good, like most in Amsterdam. However, the Coke is small, which surprises me in every restaurant I've been to. If you're in the city center and don't want to spend a fortune or eat poorly, this is the place for you. The service is outstanding, excellent, and for me, that's super important.

Food was good and service was excellent. Didn’t expect just passed by n decided to try. No regre.

Very good service and food delivery. Food was excellent as well. Will patronise again and highly recommended.

great food, even better service, funny waiters whom are very caring and pay attention to the dining experience and ensure everything goes well, excellent restaurant after all 😌

We loved everything! The food was great and the service was wonderful!!!

The food was great, and I'd definitely try it again. I tried the mixed grill, fajitas, fries, and regular salad—all 10/10. I wish I had tried the quesadillas and burritos, but we were already full. The portions were very generous for two people.

Really decent place for a steak and the wine is good :)

The meat was really delicious, and they were expecting a review with complimentary shots when paying the bill :) but overall, the dining experience was great, so I wanted to give a rating. I recommend it. 👍🏻

Had family dinner, good service and friendly.. starters are good and main food are alright

Good, reasonably priced food. Friendly service. Would gladly come again.

Amazing steak!!! Friendly service ^^

Delicious meat, truly Argentinian; Good atmosphere, nice people, cozy

Very good food and excellent service. Very welcoming and nice.

Excellent place, very good service and very good food

Really warm and welcoming atmosphere! Amazing customer service all the staff here are very friendly and have a good sense of humour. The food here is scrumptious and really hits the spot, as well as the restaurant offering a free shot (really refreshing and easy to down) after our meal 😁 will come back again one day 😍

Delicious food for a reasonable price. We'll be back!!👍😇👌

Very nice and cosy place. The food was cooked very well and not much fat on my cut of steak meaning more to enjoy. The service was prompt and ended with a free shot for the both of us! Would recommend

Fine little Argentinian steak restaurant, just a minute walk from Amsterdam central train station, steak was delicious and good to perfection, they have some very cheap specials or more expensive better cuts of steak, all In all a great meal.

Excellent service and delicious food

Excellent experience! Great food, wonderful service, and a lovely atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Great steak (to die for), wonderful dessert (tartufo) and the signature Formosa coffee: it was excellent from start to finish. The service was very good, kind and with respect for me as a customer! Recommended!

Best argentine steak I've had. Will be back again.

The best place in the Netherlands

Formosa has been my go-to place since 2022. I come here for every celebration, and it’s the restaurant I bring friends to when I want to be sure they’ll love it. Cozy atmosphere, a very welcoming host, and consistently delicious food. It’s one of those places where you feel comfortable from the moment you walk in and want to come back again and again. Highly recommended.

A super cozy restaurant with friendly service and amazing food! A real hidden gem. Located on a side street in the city center. We got a table right away and will definitely be back! 😍😍😍😍

Superb food and service. Worth a visit!

Excellent food. Ranks daily as one of the best steaks eve had as a family and we’ve eaten lots of steaks. Thoroughly recommend.

A great quick bite to eat! Good meat, great service.

The best Ribeye we have had in a long time!! Service was amazing and the entire meal perfect 👌🏼

One of the BEST meals I’ve had in a long time. Empanadas were so light and flavorful. The baked potato perfectly cooked. The steak was flavorful and perfectly cooked. Loved the chimichurri sauce. Ended the night with a cold Italian dessert! So good.

Great food service and experience, steak was cooked to the exact specifications and the empanadas were delicious as well. Highly recommend and will return when we are back in Amsterdam.

The staff was friendly, welcoming and attentive. Food was great. We had steaks and frites. Steaks were cooked perfectly and seasoned great. Mushroom soup was delicious. We would recommend

A wonderful place with delicious food and impeccable service. I would absolutely recommend.

We had the mix grill, it was very nice, a bit of each cut, the sausage was a highlight. Recommend.

Excellent place, great service, and delicious food. The waitress's friendliness definitely made the experience wonderful. I highly recommend it!

We didn't know where to eat; there were so many restaurants, but none seemed particularly appealing. We used the reviews a bit, and we weren't disappointed. First of all, Juliana's service was wonderful! She recommended dishes, and we also asked her lots of questions about things to see in Amsterdam, and she was incredibly kind! The food was fantastic; the meat was very flavorful, and the ribs were delicious too! Great choice!

The steak is on point and the staff are super friendly and explained everything as needed Price was 35 euros for a steak and baked potato and cooe zero which is for me super affordable and good for the service 🔥💯

Excellent food and caring service, steak was cooked to perfection and the chicken kebab meal was lovely.

Well, they were very helpful and spoke Spanish.

This wonderful restaurant was discovered while walking the street in Amsterdam. The steaks were really good, tender and juicy. The service was great and price was on point. A delightful little gem.

Excellent food, pleasant atmosphere, impeccable service and all this makes you want to come back here! My respects George!

I had dinner with a friend at this delightful Argentinean restaurant. We booked a table and were seated right away as soon as we arrived. We had a few appetizers and the meat, which was truly amazing. The owner was very kind and friendly, as were the girls, and the atmosphere was truly homey, with soft background music! This place truly deserves 5 stars! Thanks also for the truly delicious liqueur that the owner kindly offered us at the end of the dinner.

Mixed meat platter, meat was good quality and cooked well.. would come back

Delicious food, great prices, and top-notch service! 100% recommended!

The Tapas plate was excellent and a great way to sample a variety of starters. Ribeye and tenderloin were grilled to perfection. Spare ribs were heaping. Everything was delicious! Make a reservation - you won’t be disappointed.

Fantastic food and lovely service.

The place is very nice, the staff is very warm and friendly. The meat and wine are very good. Also the music is great 😍

We visited this restaurant and were absolutely impressed! 🥩✨ The steak was perfectly cooked — juicy, flavorful, and delicious. The grilled vegetables were also incredible: fresh, tender, and well-seasoned. Everything was served hot, still steaming — you can feel that they cook with heart. The staff were very friendly and attentive, and we even received a complimentary treat at the end — such a lovely gesture! ❤️ Cozy atmosphere and great service. Highly recommend to everyone who loves quality meat!

Superb service and food, the starter for 2 is a good choice!a
