a comforting smashed burger overall, but quite greasy which might make it hard to finish sometimes. fries are great and go so well with the sauces. for sure a place to try out but finding a place to sit and eat is difficult sometimes

The Classic fries were delicious. You don't have to wait long. You order from the screen and they call you according to your queue number. Half of the fries were very good, the other half were very stale; we couldn't eat the ones at the bottom because they were stale.

The burger is really good! It's worth it. You order at a self-service kiosk and then your order number is called. The day we went, there was a slightly strange smell. If the burger wasn't wrapped, maybe it would look a little better. Even so, it's very tasty.

We spontaneously thought we'd treat ourselves to a burger at Le Smash (which had been on our list for a while). When we walked in, it wasn't a hello, but rather, "Could you park your bike a little less rudely?" I'd give him a pass if he had a point, but we'd deliberately parked it on the curb so everyone could still get by. So we left, so the atmosphere was so sour!

I don't know what happened here. This used to be the best burger place in Amsterdam in my opinion, after trying and ranking 55 of them. But now it's not only less good, but not good at all. They changed the sauce I think, it's sickly sweet (like way too sweet), the bun wasn't toasted at all, the meat wasn't crispy.... And the cheese fries were terrible. Dense and not very crispy. And we got a thick cookie which was served cold. It would have been so easy to improve that one with a quick stint in the oven. Every aspect of the food was underwhelming. I am not sure if the original owners cashed out after the hype or what but this place is just riding Instagram hype at this point unfortunately. Super disappointed to lose a favorite place

While the prices are quite reasonable, I found the quality didn't quite match my expectations. The burger was acceptable, though nothing special. Unfortunately, the fries were particularly disappointing. They rank among the least enjoyable I've had during my 3 years here. Given the overall experience, I'm not sure the value justifies even the modest price point.

Le Smash got a crazy PR game because the reviews do not match my (and others) experience. Granted, the service is great and fast but the food leaves a lot to be desired. Upon arrival it's busy and bustling. Often a good sign but when you see the wanna be influencers, you know you fell for a TikTok trap. I asked my friends to review it with me and they simply said and I quote: "Le Mid.". Ordering is really easy and convenient with the self service panel or the cashier. They got a few options with different kinds of fries as well. I went with the classic version (forgot the name) and cheesy fries. The fries were alright, not too much flavour on it and the only gripe I have with cheesy fries is that it's more often than not cheddar and not a real cheese sauce. The burger itself was alright but had no flavour as well. The sauce was the component that I remember the most. Having tried smash burgers at different places, from restaurants to hole in the walls and street vendors, this was sadly a bit disappointing. The service and staff is great tho, they are professional and have a nice energy going. The space isn't that big but has enough spaces. Due to the popularity you might have to wait a bit for a chance to sit down. To summarize, the service is great but the food is mid, 3 ⭐. (I can't find my photo's of the place sadly.)

I'm a Smash fan, I know it well. Having made it at home several times and tried it in several restaurants, I'm a pretty sharp knife! Serving a Smash in cold bread is obviously not great... there's more sauce than meat... the cheese fries lack salt, and it's not melted cheese, but cheddar sauce. This restaurant has room for improvement; the meat wasn't bad, and neither were the sauces. They just need to improve.

Had never heard of Le Smash, it was wifey that said she'd heard of it and wanted to try it. We stumbled on this one as we walked from the local market and whilst I was a little skeptical I have to say I was really glad we stopped. Didn't expect to see a kiosk ordering system but it was easy to use and the prices were pretty average. Watching the team working away at preparing the food was actually quite cool, a wee production line and very well organised. The service was really good too, didn't wait too long and the guys were very friendly. As for the burgers and fries we ordered, can't fault it. Burger was delicious and the fries with the sauce was equally good. Hot sauce was also spot on. As I said, I've never heard of the place so I had no expectations going in. I've read a few folks reviews that weren't so good, personally speaking I loved it. Well worth a try

The burger is fine, but the chopped onions and sour ketchup somewhat ruin the quality and balance of flavor. If you don't offer caramelized onions and good sous vide, please don't put herring, chopped onions, or cheap ketchup in your burger.

Le Smash Pijp delivers a solid hamburger, though the combination of ketchup and raw onions leans a bit too close to a fast-food, McDonald’s-style flavor profile. The fries were a disappointment—greasy, overly soaked in oil, and weighed down by a watery cheese sauce that turned them soft instead of crisp. While the burger itself shows promise, the sides miss the mark, leaving the overall experience at an average 3/5

Well, it's better than McDonald's, but with only one dish on the menu, I expected more, especially with 4.4 stars. Very salty and fatty, the bacon was hard and chewy, and had very little flavor.

Review of Rijks – Vegetarian Tasting Menu (Tuin | Garden) Walking into Rijks, you immediately sense that this isn’t a “typical museum restaurant.” It’s refined without being intimidating, and the service sets the tone for what turns out to be a remarkable dining journey. For my first-ever vegetarian tasting menu — and at a Michelin-starred restaurant — I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Courses & Impressions... Tomaat (Tomato, Strawberry, Honey, Basil) A surprising opener that danced between savory and sweet. The brightness of tomato lifted by basil, with strawberry and honey adding both freshness and depth, instantly set the stage for how imaginative this menu would be. Fruits de Terre (Amazake, Shio Koji, Poppy Seed Tahini) Earthy, nutty, and umami all at once. The amazake and shio koji provided a subtle fermentation complexity, while the tahini grounded the dish. A fascinating “soil-meets-ferment” plate that showed just how far vegetables can go in flavor expression. Tuinboon (Broad Bean, Sea Lavender, Pistachio, Lemon Verbena) This plate was a revelation in texture — the creaminess of the beans, the gentle crunch of pistachio, and an herbal lift from lemon verbena. It tasted like a garden in peak summer, delicate but assertive. Pom Pom Blanc (Lion’s Mane, Celeriac Bordelaise, Hollandaise, Curry Leaf Oil) Lion’s mane mushrooms are often praised for their “meaty” bite, and here they were elevated with a Bordelaise richness and the silkiness of hollandaise. The curry leaf oil gave it a subtle aromatic twist. A dish that blurs the line between plant-based and classic French fine dining. Millefeuille of Beetroot... The star of the menu! Even though it was an add-on, this was a piece of edible art. Beetroot layered like pastry, bringing both visual drama and earthy sweetness. Worth the indulgence. Glazed BBQ Tempeh (Oatmeal, Zucchini, Ajipanca) Smoky, hearty, and comforting, this was perhaps the most surprising course. Tempeh, often dismissed as “hippie food,” was transformed into something gourmet. The Peruvian ajipanca pepper added depth without overpowering. Bijenwas (Beeswax, Honey, Elderflower, Black Fruits) A poetic finish — floral, fruity, and lightly sweet. The beeswax brought an almost ethereal texture, while elderflower and black fruits tied it together like the closing note of a symphony. Overall Experience... This menu was one of the best gastronomic journeys of my life. Every dish was layered, thoughtful, and elegant... not once did it feel like a compromise for being a vegetarian meal. Instead, it showcased the creativity and depth that vegetables can offer when handled with care. Rijks isn’t just a place to eat; it’s an education in flavour, a conversation with Dutch soil, and a reminder that vegetables can stand proudly at the center of haute cuisine. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Unforgettable, and worth returning to Amsterdam for!!!

What a joke, ordered “big” shawarma and it was a tiny portion and just terrible overall. Scam
