Hemelse Modder in Nieuwmarkt/Lastage

Super food and friendly service. The message is out, the place was full on a Tuesday night! Lots of locals and also tourists who know a good thing in an area a few hundred meters from the tourist hoards. There is even a book which we bought!

Top evening. Ate with a group, was delicious. Excellent hostess, received us with a smile and without batting an eyelid, all dishes, each course, to the right person.

Classic restaurant, friendly service and great atmosphere. But… you need a magnifying glass for eating. Portions way too small. Duck breast as a main course was more of a starter: just a few slices of duck breast.

Great restaurant, always consistent with their creations. Cool atmosphere and kind personnel.

Well worth a visit. Fabulous food and attentive and informative.staff. We had devices cod, asparagus starters and leek veggie. Lamb and a turbot for mains. Orange sorbet "King's Day" special for desert.

Un lugar bastante agradable. El servicio era servicial pero lento. Las selecciones fueron atractivamente presentadas pero a veces escatimadas y frecuentemente extrañas. El Chef parecía esforzarse por lo inusual, a veces triunfaba, a veces no. No repetiría la experiencia.

Great restaurant, perfect food and super nice service

Decoración genial, platos muy bien presentados; mi familia amaba su comida más que yo. . Pensé que estaba bien. Recibí el ceviche (se veía hermoso pero sabía un poco demasiado pescado - tal vez porque era bacalao? ? ). pato (estaba bien) y un postre de mousse de chocolate - Siempre me encanta la mousse de chocolate pero este ni siquiera lo terminé . . .

Las palabras no pueden expresar lo genial que es este restaurante. El ambiente es perfecto, el personal de camarera toque ligero pero siempre allí cuando sea necesario. La comida es increíble. Eso es todo - solo vete.

This place was probably the best part of our trip. The meal was fantastic from start to finish. The goat croquettes were surprisingly delicious. Great service also.

Disfrutamos de una noche relajante en Hemelse Modder.   El restaurante ofrece dos menús - un de temporada y un Chef's a partir de los cuales se construye una comida de tres ( 59 € ) , cuatro ( 61 € ) o cinco ( 69 € ) platos. Puede mezclar y combinar entre los dos menús. Optamos por pedir fuera del menú de temporada y fuimos con el Tarte tatin de espárragos verdes y guisantes con queso crema de jengibre, compota de jengibre y chalota marinada.   Perfecto comienzo de la noche que combinamos con un Sauvignon Blanc francés. Para el curso de sopa con ambos se eligió el caldo de tomate asado y tomillo, con tapenade de albahaca de pimentón y crutones de hinojo.   Los caldos surgieron con sabor de todas las especias, siendo los crutones de hinojo golosinas saladas con cada bocado. Para el ciurse principal elegí el filete de merluza atlántica frito en sartén con salsa de azafrán de mejillón, roseval, patatas fritas de roseval y rábano marinado. Mi esposa se fue con el filete de cordero a la parrilla con salsa de rábano picante, puré de raíz de perejil, raíz de perejil asado y zanahorias jóvenes.   El suace de mejillones realmente mejoró el sabor de la merluza y también fue agradable para sumergir las patatas nuevas que lo acompañan.   El cordero era un medio perfecto raro y se derritió en nuestras bocas.   Para el curso de queso probamos un vuelo de los quesos holandeses y franceses.   Me gustó mucho el queso de cabra holandés que era tan suave y cremoso.    El queso Bleu francés era excelente también. De postre fuimos con la mousse blanca y oscura.   Era tan decadente y presentaba una astilla de chocolate con leche. Pasamos alrededor de 3. 5 horas allí el servicio era excelente. El coursing fue lento entre la sopa y el plato principal y después del postre por lo demás excelente atención sin ser obstruyente. Creo que la cena fue excelente.   Probablemente un "one off" pero sin duda lo recomendaría.

We enjoyed a relaxing evening at Hemelse Modder. The restaurant offers two menus - a Seasonal and a Chef's from which you build a Three ( €59), Four (€61) or Five (€69) course meal. You can mix and match between the two menus. We chose to order off the seasonal menu and went with the Tarte tatin of green asparagus and peas with ginger cream cheese, ginger compote and marinated shallot. Perfect start to the evening that we paired with a French Sauvignon Blanc. For the soup course with both chose the bouillon of roasted tomato and thyme, with paprika basil tapenade and fennel croutons. The broths popped with flavor from all the spices with the fennel croutons being savory treats with each bite. For the main ciurse I chose the pan fried Atlantic hake fillet with mussel saffron sauce, roseval, roseval chips and marinated radish. My wife went with the grilled lamb steak with horseradish gravy, parsley root puree, roasted parsley root and young carrots. The mussels suace really enhanced the flavor of the hake and was also nice to dip the accompanying new potatoes in as well. The lamb was a perfect medium rare and melted in our mouths. For the cheese course we tried a flight of the Dutch and the French cheeses. I really liked the Dutch goat cheese which was so smooth and creamy. The French Bleu cheese was excellent as well. For dessert we went with the dark and white mousse. It was so decadent and featured a sliver of milk chocolate. We spent around 3.5 hours there service was excellent. The coursing was slow between the soup and main course and after dessert otherwise excellent attention without being obstrusive. I think the dinner was excellent. Probably a "one off" but I would definitely recommend it.

Gran comida, gran servicio y gran vino. Recomienda una visita, no te decepcionará. Muy ocupado, así que recomienda reservar con antelación

We enjoyed a delicious dinner. Ingredients are of superb quality and nice service as well!

Very nice hidden gem around the corner from the busy Nieuwmarkt in Amsterdam. Good service and a delicious menu with many different options. Very good price-quality ratio! I especially liked the starters: Mackerel and oyster mushroom croquettes. It's also nice that they are open on Mondays, which is often a more difficult day to find a nice restaurant, so from now on my new favorite on Mondays!

Very pleasant dinner, interesting dishes. Kind staff.

Top shop, very frequently changing menu...Special dishes...many vegetarian dishes too...But don't shy away from fish and meat, in short, something for everyone...And the sweetest terrace in Amsterdam

We came straight after we landed and checked in our hotel for dinner.Tasty food,reasonable price,relaxing ambiance and attentive staffs.

One of our favourite restaurants in Amsterdam. Five stars for food, service and atmosphere fully justified. The desert Hemelse Modder is simply fabulous.

Had a delicious meal at Hemelse Modder! We had the 5-course vegan and 5-course vegetarian menu, and despite it not being a vegetarian restaurant, the dishes were surprisingly good and well thought out. Dutch cuisine with a twist is beautifully reflected in dishes such as the broth of roasted beet, parsnip and hazelnut—simple, but really special. The celeriac pate and the chickpea biscuit were also popular. The wine pairing was well chosen, and the service was friendly and attentive. Fine dining without pretension, with surprising flavors and great attention to detail!

The food is absolutely delicious, and wine pairing cannot be better. However, depending on a day of the week, the place cannot be a bit noisy.

Delicious food, beautifully presented.

Great place, with something different than the standard food. Good knowledge of wine and food.

Phenomenal cuisine. Amazing plates. Wonderful service

Stunning, beautiful menu, friendly happy staff. Food was so fresh and amazing presented. Recommend the matching wines. One of the best meals I have had in ages

Visitamos este restaurante después de mirar hacia arriba en TripAdvisor. Está cerca de la frontera de la ciudad de China en Ámsterdam y a 1 km de la estación central. Y como en todos los lugares de Ámsterdam, encontrar un lugar para estacionar puede ser un desafío. Tomamos el tranvía en caminata unos 5 minutos. El restaurante ofrece menú de 3 , 4 y 5 platos a precio razonable. Estaba totalmente reservado en nuestra noche y la acústica del restaurante es buena. Los camareros son jóvenes pero experimentados. Una vez ordenado no tuvimos que esperar mucho tiempo para la comida. Es cocina holandesa con toque moderno. Como postre, hay que elegir la mousse de chocolate (de ahí el nombre de Hemelse modder = barro del cielo).

Cozy. Quiet. Super friendly service. Excellent, selected and creative cuisine. Menu prices are an absolute steal. I will recommend it to all of my friends as a little insider tip :-)

The menu rotates and changes seasonally, using the freshest ingredients, techniques, and innovative cuisine. Always well prepared, and one of the better wine pairing restaurants out there. I have never felt anything but welcomed and appreciated by the staff.

Service top, food was tasty, but main course not good. Guinea fowl fillet well cooked and rock hard. Too bad, otherwise fine.

Een bijzonder kerstdiner op 1e kerstdag in dit restaurant. We hadden voor twee personen gereserveerd. Een zeer vriendelijke bediening deed zijn werk voortreffelijk. Een keuze van het menu was eenvoudig van opzet. Per gang slechts 2 opties. Vega of vlees/vis Voldoende tijd tussen de gangen. En een royale keuze uit passende wijnen.

Would definitely recommend this place! Food is very good and service is excellent. I have celiac disease and they were very careful and knowledgeable with it. Have been to several Michelin restaurants before where the service was not as good as in this restaurant.

Fantastic Christmas menu. High quality of ingredients. Good timing. Super friendly service.

Beautiful dishes, with refined flavors. We took the 3-course seasonal menu for €49.50. An extra 6.50 was charged for the Venison Steak without asking. Service was friendly and gave us some time between courses. Table for 2 just next to the bar/service, with a look behind the scenes. Felt a bit pushed away, even though I reserved on time. Saw the waiter uncork a bottle of wine with his teeth. Without asking, the olives and pieces of melon/fruit that we received at the start and had not yet been completely eaten, were taken from the table. Nice atmosphere, that's for sure...

De heilbot smaakte vooral zout en had net zo goed polak kunnen zijn; misschien was het dat zelfs. De bouillon van langoustine was flauw, en de langoustine zelf leek in de vorm van een tampongeperst met andere specerijen. Het resultaat was droog en had een nare bijsmaak. Ook de friet was veel te zout. Kortom, een grote misser. Het ganzenbord was overgaar, en het kaasdessert viel tegen: flauw, niet bijzonder en zonder echte smaak. Daarnaast waren alle porties extreem mager. Dit restaurant is voor mij een absolute no-go; ik zou hier nooit meer heen gaan.

Genuinely delicious food, easy to go for as a vegan, delicious options

Great restaurant with really good food. The portions are reasonable and the quality is top notch. On top of that the atmosphere is great and the service is extraordinary. The waiters and waitresses are super friendly and have an overview. They really pay attention to the details and are quick without begin disturbing all the time. Highly recommend!

Lovely restaurant. Food is very nice. Good wine selection. Service was a bit slow in the beginning. But definitely a great spot for an elevated Dutch experience.

Reservé este lugar después de haber caminado por él en un jueves por la noche reciente. Estaba ocupado y tenía un ambiente encantador. El personal era muy amable. Sirven un menú fijo con una opción de 3 , 4 y 5 platos disponibles. El menú tenía una interesante selección de platos con opciones vegetarianas y veganas. La comida era muy sabrosa y muy bien presentado. Lo único malo que diría es que una botella de agua tranquila cuesta 6 . 50 que nos pareció una estafa completa. Lo recomendaría.

Don't let the rumors about Dutch food fool you, at Hemelse Modder they bring the best flavors of the cou try and cozy vibe, the service was sharp and I experienced the best wine pairing i ever had, they really know how to bring the best of the experience to the customers.

Hemos estado cenando en Hemelse Modder durante más de 25 años y disfrutamos de nuestra visita dominical para conmemorar su 40 aniversario. Los huéspedes van desde turistas (como nosotros de Londres) y locales y el comedor principal estaba ocupado. Ambos tuvimos la sopa vegetariana de hongos seguido de platos de lubina y ganso (que no se ven a menudo en los menús en estos días) con un lado de papas fritas - ambos eran muy buenos. Nuestros desiertos de pastel de jengibre y pastel de cuajada de mora eran moros. Compartimos una botella de rojo y 2 Armagnacs para redondear una gran comida. El servicio como siempre fue profesional y servicial. Dada nuestra larga (distancia y tiempo) asociación con este restaurante somos un poco parciales, aunque deben estar haciendo algo bien para haber durado 4 décadas.

Went to dinner with colleagues, everything was delicious, highly recommend

Ambiente muy agradable, personal muy amable y excelente maridaje de vinos con un menú excelente. Me encanta el hecho de que tienes muchas opciones veganas

we spotted you from across the canal, saw a happy group and investigated curiously. Thankfully there were a few tables available and we picked one near the happy throng. We were immediately charmed by the welcome and the interesting seasonal menu option. The food was very special, service too and the acoustic was good considering how busy and excited the restauarant was. Two hours later we knew we had had THE restaurant experience of Amsterdam.

Amazing restaurant! The meals were absolutely delicious, the service very kind and the interior also very cosy and intimate. Will definitely be back. Thank you for the lovely evening.

Chocolate sauce and other deserts

On the "other side" of the RLD, a bustling place in a more quiet neighborhood. Pro: Most appreciated is a very flexible prix fixe menu for 3 or 4 courses, with plenty of choices. There is also a wine paring option, which I was glad to have taken. Some very interesting selections. Con: Only 2 people working the whole front of the house, which was an impossible situation. Could have been a meltdown, but these two handled with aplomb and good cheer. But, things were very slow. Still, what came out of the kitchen was on time even they were their own runners. Fair price for fine dining. Not stuffy atmosphere, but dress decently, please. Several corporate dinners of 8-10 people who were by definition loud and overall slowed things down for the whole place, but they pay the big bills.

We had a wonderful evening with delicious food at this charming restaurant near our hotel in Amsterdam. The staff was very friendly. I look forward to hopefully visiting it again on our next trip.

Spacious restaurant on a quiet canal in the heart of the city. They have curious dishes on the menu. You can put together a menu of 3, 4 or 5 courses yourself. The staff was very helpful and despite the crowds, they took their time.

Super friendly service, no rush and the food was sublime. Had a wonderful Monday evening!

Top quality/price ratio, carefully crafted and mastered dishes, very good service, I recommend! 👍

Came here by recommendation of our hotel. The ambiance is lovely, couldn't ask for more. The pace of the meal was slower than I was used to, but it really lets you relax and just enjoy the night.

Betjeningen var i top. God tjener med super præsentation af maden. Lokalet og stemningen virkeligt hyggeligt, MEN maden var desværre noget gammeldags og uinspirerende. Vi havde ikke Tilberedning og råvarer fejler ikke noget, men vi havde ikke regnet med en menu fra 1980erne.

De Hemelse Modder bestaat 40 jaar! Het was ook voor ons als vegetariers een fijne plek om te eten. Niet goedkoop maar je hebt wel waar voor je geld. Heel smakelijk en attente bediening!

Took my friend here for his last night in Amsterdam, and couldn’t have picked a better spot for a Monday evening. The restaurant was packed all night and had a great atmosphere. Great wine recommendations as well! Will be back ❤️ Great for a family dinner as well.

A short walk from Amsterdam Central this restaurant had great food that was presented beautifully. I made the reservation online and they were so accommodating. There really is something for everyone here from vegetarians, to gluten free they are inclusive with their menu which made our dining experience even better.

American who has been here 4 times now. I literally stop in Amsterdam whenever I can to come here. I can’t say I know the world but 24 countries deep this is easily my favorite restaurant in the world.

It was their anniversary week and they had a 3 or 4 course meal with 3 choices per course. It was excellent from the appetizer to dessert. A little off the main streets but well worth finding it. Our front desk person at Hotel Mansion recommended it and he was spot on.

Great place, excellent food and nice staff.

Looking for a non-tourist "locals" quality restaurant in the Nieuwmarkt area of Amsterdam, not far from the Amsterdam Centraal Station? This restaurant on Oude Waal near the clocktower, celebrating its 40th anniversary in 2024 with a special additional menu, is a foodie haven for locals celebrating special occasions. They offer a 3 (E 50), 4 (E 60) and 5 (E 67) course menu with multiple choices for appetizers, soup, mains, cheese course and dessert on both the regular and anniversary menus- can choose from both. Vegan alternatives also available. We had the rabbit & cheese croquettes, and the halibut with beetroot and capers for appetizers- beautiful presentations (especially the halibut) and delicious. The wild mushroom bouillon and Langoustine bouillon soups were concentrated with flavors- enjoyable and refreshing! For mains we had the pan fried sea bass fillet with roasted garlic and shrimp, and the pan fried goose breast with roasted parsnips and potato mousseline-- both delicious and well executed. We finished with the 3 french cheese course and the scrumptious dark and white chocolate mousse "hemelse modder" dessert (highly recommended by a local museum guide and namesake of the restaurant). The wine pairing was also excellent and showcased the dishes in each course. For refined Dutch food in a relaxed setting- this restaurant is a gem! Worth the Euros for the food and ambiance.

After more than 30 years, I had dinner here again with former colleagues. Beautiful location right in the center of Amsterdam, diagonally opposite the special Scheepvaarthuis. Beautiful tables and chairs, pleasant decor. We had a nice corner. Service is adequate and friendly. We chose a five-course menu for €59, the portions (not very large) were beautifully presented and very tasty. We got a course with (French and Dutch) cheeses, but that was disappointing. Wafer-thin slices of three cheeses with equally thin slices of brown baguette. Tasty, but hard to swallow. I think French tourists were shaking their bellies with laughter after seeing this. They are used to cutting pieces of cheese from a platter themselves. By the way, the bread deserved better with butter beforehand, it tasted a bit old. For dessert, two of us had the iconic Heavenly Mud dessert with white and dark chocolate mousse. Remains unsurpassed. In the end, the total bill with tip was about €90 per person (beers, wine, coffee, 2 water bottles, extra fries plus the menus).

Very nice restaurant, great food, amazing wine list. Very reasonably priced for what you get. Super friendly service

Interesting and delicious Dutch multi-course menu options with great wine pairings. The place is celebrating its 40th anniversary in 2024.

HM is always very nice to be and eat. You can put together a delicious vegetarian menu. They have a nice wine list and if you can't figure it out, help is at hand. Treat yourself to a delicious dessert too. Service is always friendly and personal.

Inventive menu and delightful staff. Do be prepared to invest some time in your meal.

Great place for traditional Dutch dinner. Food was amazing with great service and atmosphere.

Had a large group for dinner. Wonderful time and great food.

The food wasn't bad, but in my opinion they really missed the mark with the wines. Not the most attractive tent, but it was very empty when we were there.

Disappointed after a visit to this restaurant where we expected a little more. Faded glory, food was mediocre, not bad or bad but certainly not great, a bit stale, wine was nothing special, in short, it remains a one-off visit for us.

Lovely dining experience. The food was delicious, portions were quite generous and the prices weren't too expensive for what you got.

What a wonderfully inventive classic restaurant Heavenly Mud is! We had the 40th anniversary menu. Nice atmosphere and wonderful weather! Go people.

Food was exceptional. Service was friendly and knowledgeable but a bit slow. Waited uncomfortably long between courses at times even though we ate early when the restaurant was mostly empty. Certainly work a visit.

10 out of 10 food, wine pairing, service and ambience

We were walking around looking for a good recommendation and a good Google review, this place appeared and although a quiet place we wanted something nice and delicious for dinner... We were surprised! Delicious, good portions (normal) what the stomach needs. Order the tomato tartare!!! Delicious and fresh Great service, Sebastian is 10 and very patient. Average price per person €110, but it is worth it. 👌👌👌 Besides, they allowed us to prepare Carajillo without being on the menu 🇲🇽

Really good food and very good service. The food was beautifully presented and the serving staff did an excellent job of providing beautiful wines to accompany the food. I’d highly recommend a visit and do try the chocolate mousse !

Nice atmosphere and delicious food

Star worthy restaurant. Delicious meal with matching wine arrangement.

Delicious food and very professional and friendly staff. Convenient location, close to CS.

loud groups around us spoiling the conversation one sits really close to other tabels very unpleasant and very rude waiter

Attentive service. The cuisine is very creative and the menu choices always surprise with extraordinary combinations. Price / offer: Very good.

Superb food cooked to perfection and served by friendly knowledgeable staff. If you like good food but especially seafood then you need to visit! It’s popular so book ahead.

This restaurant is a true gem in the heart of Amsterdam! It is now my go to restaurant in the city, near enough to the central train station, but on a uniquely quiet side street. It serves a sophisticated menu at incredibly reasonable prices for the quality of food, service, and atmosphere. I've been three times and would go back again tonight if I wasn't heading home.

I arrived with my whole family and there are 3 options: 3-course, 4-course, or 5-course menu. We opted for the 3-course menu, which allows you to choose 3 dishes from the menu but at different times, to start with the lamb soup, As a main course, cod with mashed hazelnuts and sauce, and as dessert, an orange pancake with orange ice cream and pralined Castilla walnuts. The soup was pure broth, the amount of meat it came with was somewhat sad, it was good but not something I would remember. The cod was delicious but had very little flavor, it tasted like a meal at my aunt's house, simple. And finally the dessert, the pancake was a bit dry, the ice cream did have a good texture and flavor, and the Castile walnut was what stood out the most, but the fact that the pancake, which is the main thing, ruined the experience a lot for me. And we ordered some potatoes for the center which were surprisingly the best, some simple fries, perfectly crunchy and salty, one of the best potatoes I have ever eaten and they tell me that it is also because of the quality of the potato itself. And we ordered a BROUWERIJ’TIJ beer, perfect to accompany the food, a strong Belgian beer with a small touch of orange. Paying €50 euros for 3 not wonderful times, I don't think it's worth it. I didn't eat badly, I would just say I ate, period. 6/10

Delicious food with excellent vegetarian choices. Great service. Quiet area. Very good wine. reasonable prices. Easy to walk in the canal district

Horrible service, excessive onions in every dish

Modern and creative food. Had three course menu. For each main course there was a vegetarian, fish and meat option. Very friendly and professional service, well balanced dishes.

The food was good but the service was very poor. The wait time for food was way too long.

Food was wonderful but we waited SO long in between each course - too long, and by the time we got to dessert we just wanted to leave. Service was friendly and professional but there was no pouring of the drinks for us. Spending over 2 hours in a restaurant for 3 courses with a non-cooked dessert is a bit too long.

This was the most expensive meal we had on our European vacation and IMO it was NOT worth it. The food a presented in a style like most French cuisine = Very "fancy" with small portions. I'm not a foodie, so this is all lost on me. It tasted fine, but wasn't great. The service was exceptionally slow on a Sunday night. We waited over a 1/2 hour to order another drink. So many great restaurants in Amsterdam that are much more affordable. I wouldn't go out of the way to go here.

The only thing better than the food and the location is the staff. Absolutely impeccable. My waiter was amazing and the food was unforgettable. I couldn’t have asked for anything more to make the experience better. I have fallen in love with this place!!! This place is 5 out of 5 stars!

Amazing food. The sea bass halibut tartare was delicious and the pan fried Atlantic hake fillet were delicious. For dessert, I took the hemelse Modder: a dark and white chocolate mousse with vanilla cream. It was nice, but I'd have prefer some vanilla icre cream instead of the cream. It would have made the whole dessert a little bit more "light"/refreshing. The dark mousse was perfect tho. Highly recommend.

Wonderful experience. They were extremely accommodating to my gluten free diet. Everything was absolutely delicious and freshly prepared.

Everything was just good! Delicious food, chic but not too much, very correct and attentive service. We had tartare of sea bass and halibut as a starter and main course duck breast with fennel sausage, hake fillet with pearl barley and samphire. White fish can sometimes be boring, but this certainly isn't. Colorful Desserts also faultless.

Always delicious food, delicious wine and good service

The name lived up to itself. Heavenly experience

Delicious flavors, nice people, stylishly decorated.

The food is OK, with reasonable price. However, the service is super slow and no waiter looked after our table at all. We have to wait for half an hour after finishing every course. We were recommended by friends to visit this restaurant, but were disappointed due to the poor service.

From starter to dessert it was excellent, very good work in the dining room and in the kitchen well done

Away from the tourist crowds, good value for money, delicious food, good menu

The food was delicious and it was quite sociable too.

Intimate restaurant slightly out of the chaos but absolutely in the center of Amsterdam where you can eat excellent fresh fish with a beautiful atmosphere and really friendly staff.
