Moche in Middenmeer

The food is delicious, especially the ceviche. We didn't find the service very friendly, but it was good. In the end, we left the table feeling that we won't be coming back here. Ceviche €23 and a cocktail €17. After two hours and without dessert, the bill for 5 people was €400. Disproportionate.

Best restaurant ever in Amsterdam. Honestly one of the best experiences trying Peruvian cuisine outside Peru, every dish was very tasty and great presentation.

Excellent peruvian food and flavors. Well prepared dishes with friendly personnel.

Delicious food, lovely people. 10/10 experience, thank you!

Well, what can I say about this!! I ended up in this restaurant by chance for the first time and I really don't regret it! The food was incredibly tender and flavorful. What a beautiful combination! The music suits the evening and isn't too loud! Behind the bar, there is a lot of noise every now and then from the bartender, who is very busy with the cocktails!! He almost puts on a show! The cocktails are top-notch, so I would definitely order them!! We will certainly be back. ❤️

Really nice restaurant; the service is good, and the food is excellent. Some dishes have names that can be a bit misleading, like the Tiradito de tuna, which felt more like a Japanese restaurant dish than a Peruvian one; the lúcuma sour also didn't taste like lúcuma at all, but both were enjoyable. The Lomo saltado is one of the best I've ever tasted. Overall, it was a good experience and way better than a couple of years ago.

Everything in Moche is 1000/10 delicious, it has a great atmosphere and good service, the waiters are very friendly. We were on vacation and if we return we will definitely repeat the experience!!

First time trying Peruvian food. We ordered ceviche, chicken with rocoto peppers, and duck with rice. Everything was 10/10, the flavors were incredible, and both the chicken and duck were perfectly prepared—tender and outstanding. The only downside was the dessert. We ordered cheese and caramel, and I thought that for 13.50 soles, it would be a bigger dessert. The flavor was amazing, but a bit pricey. My final verdict: I would definitely go back ❤️

It was my first time trying Peruvian food, and even though I was in Amsterdam, I was completely convinced that it's one of the best cuisines in the world. The ceviche was perfectly balanced, and the tenderness of the patata was incredible! Prices were generally in line with the rest of the city. They welcomed us even though we arrived at 9:20 PM, and they turned around an evening that seemed ruined by the Peruvian Independence Day event. Thanks again!

Very tasty! As Peruvian I was impressed by the food innovation :) thank you Cayetana for the great evening!

Amazing place. The cocktails were incredible - especially a special spicy one made custom by the very talented bartender 💜

Wow… what an experience! 🤩 One of the best restaurants we have visited in a long time. Every dish surprised us with amazing flavor combinations and incredible freshness. And the Pisco? Absolutely delicious! This place truly exceeded our expectations. Every bite was exciting and made us curious about what would come next. Can't wait to come back and try more dishes. See you soon!

The food was delicious; it had been a long time since I'd eaten so well. The price-quality ratio was excellent. I'll definitely be back.

I came with some friends by chance and I loved everything so much! My favourite dishes were the ceviche and the carrillera, but overall all of them were delicious and balanced. The spot was so cozy and the staff super welcoming. They made us feel like at home. I cannot wait to come back!

I went to Moche this weekend and I was truly impressed, the food was absolutely spectacular! Every dish captured the essence of Peruvian cuisine. The new terrace looks fantastic and creates a great atmosphere, while the service was of great quality: friendly, attentive and professional. I’ll be definitely coming back and I highly recommend Moche to anyone looking for outstanding Peruvian food!

Cocktails are good, but food is mediocre. It's way too expensive for what you get

Delicious food, gourmet style. Friendly service. Nice location.

The food was delicious, the best food I have had in Amsterdam so full of flavor I didn't want it to be finished. The staff is also very friendly and nice. I would come back over and over again.

Amazing experience at Moche! The food was absolutely delicious, especially the ceviche — fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The cocktails were stunning too, with gorgeous garnishes like dried citrus and rose petals. Great atmosphere, friendly service, and authentic Peruvian flavors throughout. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a memorable meal in Amsterdam. Will definitely be back! 🍹

Great food and nice atmosphere. However our waiter did serve the wrong drinks and started arguing as the beer was clearly a wheat bier and he was sure it was a pilsner. After telling him he should just ask for a pilsner and try the difference himself we got the right order. It's no shame in making a mistake but arguing when you're clearly wrong is nothing that makes a qualified waiter.

Had a lovely experience :) Great selection of ceviche, and I especially loved the carillera and the chicken. The dulce de leche was also amazing Great service as always

We had a delicious meal, everything was outstanding! It was my first time at this restaurant, but I will definitely eat there more often.

Very good food and good, cheerful service. The taste of the food is fantastic, with very fine combinations. Absolutely recommended.

Delicious food and lots of gluten free options. Friendly service, nice patio

I have been waiting for nearly a month now for a refund of the €70.00 deposit, even though I cancelled the reservation well in advance, but this bunch of thieves isn't responding to emails and refuses to refund the amount. I have now sent them an official payment reminder and will not hesitate for a moment to engage a debt collection agency if necessary to recover my money.

An excellent Peruvian restaurant. We loved everything, especially the ceviche. It's worth a visit if you're in Amsterdam.

Lovely food in a calm and relaxing setting. Really enjoyable.

Amazing peruvian restaurant. The chef menu was very tasty, well designed and combining different flavours. Presentation, service and desserts were a 10 out of 10. We will be back 😊

incredible food, all dishes were plate licking delicious! we started with cheviche moche - fresh fish and dressing, balanced with crunch from the corn and a hint of sweetness. for mains we had the cheek & duck. it was on the heavy side, perfect for a cold day. it was cooked & seasoned well. the dessert itself was worth coming back for! we had a mix of warm dulce du leche and passion fruit granita. service was kind and attentive, open to adjusting according to our preference. we will come back to try other dishes

The most surprising and delicious food definitely will go back

Really bad food and poor service. So surprised as I thought it would be great. Just terrible. Not worth a visit.

Amazing food, really liked everything. The staff is friendly even if a bit slow in bringing drinks. My only suggestion about the food is to put a bit less soy sauce in the lomo salteado.

Omg the food here is insane!! This is such a delicious restaurant and a relatively unique cuisine for Amsterdam. The chicken is phenomenal along with all of the ceviches. The space is big and nicely decorated, and all of the staff are very kind. Only weird thing was one time I went here, there was a dog in the restaurant, and the owner asked me to move and walk around his dog, which I thought was very inappropriate. Honestly, just don’t have dogs inside of a nice restaurant. But other than that, this is a 10/10 place that I highly recommend!

We recently dined at Moche, but unfortunately, it was a major disappointment, especially considering the price of €131. We started with two ceviches, but they tasted virtually the same. Both were quite acidic, without the flavors really coming to life or enhancing the fish. It lacked that fresh, distinct balance that you would expect from Peruvian dishes. Next, we were served a fried fish with fries (a kind of fish & chips) for €30, which, to be honest, looked like something from a simple takeaway place. The price-quality ratio here was truly non-existent. Additionally, we had a rice dish with a duck leg, but that dish was also completely dominated by a single spicy flavor, without any nuance. Moreover, both main courses came with a kind of mayo-like sauce that didn't fit well, particularly with the rice dish. In addition to the dishes, we both had one glass of wine and sparkling water. For a total price of 131 euros, we considered this to be downright rip-offs. Unfortunately, the atmosphere in the restaurant didn't help matters either. The tables are placed extremely close together, about 10 cm apart, meaning you have absolutely no privacy and are literally sitting on top of each other. The decor also felt bare and uninviting. What surprises us most is that the online reviews are so positive. We do not recognize that at all. The photos online also make the food look much better than it is in reality. All in all, an expensive and disappointing experience that we will not repeat.

Do they offer 100% Peruvian food? 🇵🇪... or is it just another fusion food place? 🤔❓❓❓

Delicious food with kind workers which the going to this restaurant an fun experience even if you go alone.

My goodness, what a fantastic place! Our expectations were high, especially because there were so many other good reviews, but they completely lived up to them. The ceviche was delicious, the tuna especially. It was perhaps the best dish of our lives!! Very friendly service. The atmosphere is also top-notch, just like being in Peru.

Lovely Restaurant, Good Food & Good Service…. Enjoyed it….

It's in very poor taste to cancel a reservation without giving a call. Especially, when the cancellation is less than 1 hour in advance.

SUPER! Everything we got was so so great. Lemon Tart was the best thing we could’ve asked for to finish things off.

Phenomenal! I loved every single plate as well as the cocktails!

We loved all the dishes from cold to warm starters. Coctails are also super tasty!

Fantastic! From the menu, the flavors, and the warm service. Surely one to come back to. Loved to see Peruviaanse traditionals with a creative, fancy twist (the amazing causas as example)

Compliments to the Chef for such a delicious food! Drinks like Pisco Sour were also incredibly tasty too. And the staff very friendly and welcoming. Thanks for a lovely dinner time!

We have been at Moche several times, the last time for lunch on Sunday. The food was amazing, as always, and we appreciated a lot the possibility have lunch instead of dinner. The atmosphere is also relaxed and friendly, no frills but everything served tastes delicious!

I started with tequeños, thinking they'd be like the Venezuelan ones, but then I realized they have a different version in Peru, and they were delicious too. The salmon a la huancaína was amazing. My boyfriend ordered the duck, and if we go again, I'm definitely ordering that. For dessert, we loved the brownie.

Absolutely delicious Peruvian cuisine. Oh my the flavours are just fantastic - spicy when needed, tangy when needed. So balanced. Cocktails are excellent. Mint & Coriander Pisco Sour was divine. Such lovely friendly service e. Just go!!

Delicious food and especially great cocktails! The staff was very friendly and welcoming. They also have good gluten-free options.

Great food. Very tasty and unique cuisine. The price-quality ratio is excellent.

Truly delicious ceviche (and cocktails!) in a cosy setting. Atmosphere lacks a little due to very bright lighting, but overall a great place :)

Everything we had was absolutely delicious and amazing! The duck rice especially was incredible. The duck meat was so soft and it was such a good combination with the sauce. The dessert was also really creamy and tasty. 100% great

The food is incredible!!!! especially the ceviche and rocoto-honey chicken, both top of the top! Cocktails are amazing too. Prices are a bit high and portions small, but totally worth it for the taste.

Incredible. Would be happy if this was my last meal.

Great restaurant with really unique flavors. Something different from most places in Amsterdam. Super friendly and professional staff.

Attention my Latinos!! Here you'll find the most delicious ceviche and pisco in Amsterdam, thanks to Felix who made our night even better 🔥 (go for the Moche ceviche with yellow chili pepper)

Everything was delicious and the attention was amazing as well! The only dish that I wasn’t amazed with was the Suspiro. As a Peruvian, it was too far from the original and it tasted too much like lemon. Otherwise, I am looking forward to going back.

Genuinely one of the best meals I’ve had in a long time. Having been to peru, I can say that the leche de Tigre was authentic and amazing, and everything we ordered was fantastic. The owner and the staff were so kind, it felt like I was in someone’s home. Highly recommend.

Definitely worth checking out if you’re looking for something special! All the ingredients were super fresh and great quality, and the flavors were way more interesting than what you usually get in Amsterdam. Pretty close to what you’d find in Peru, actually. Not just the mains and starters were delicious (highly recommend the ceviche and salmon dishes), but even the fries on the side were amazing! Service was friendly, and the place itself looks really nice inside. It’s a bit on the pricey side, but totally worth it. Only thing I’d tweak is the brownie dessert - it seemed to be regular in comparison with other dishes. Merengue dessert, however, was nice and creative , I liked it a lot.

Have been here 2 years ago because I was craving a authentic ceviche. It was the best I ever had. So comforting. I came back today for my birthday 2 years later and it was just as amazing. The service is great, the cocktail menu is so carefully made. The homemade infusion of pisco and hibiscus and juniper berries was soooo good. The gentleman in charge of the distilled drinks really knows what he is talking about. The woman doing service at our table was very attentive and kind. And i learned a few new things about the cuisine (I think) the owner gave a very warm welcome and made sure to check in with us when saying goodbye. Overall a place that makes you feel very welcome and at home, but special at the same time. Lots of thanks and appreciation for your passion and art, Will visit again soon<3

Amazing peruvian food. The best in the Netherlands by far. Nice and cozy location in AMS Oost, great design and service. We will come back anyway soon !!! Great experience and highly recommend it !!!

Super delicious food. The duck rice was super flavorful and the ceviches were also very good. And finally, the homemade brownie to finish off! The service was also very good; the staff was very friendly! The only downside - it was very cold downstairs; I had to put on my coat.

Absolutely fantastic, the contrasting flavours in the tuna, ceviche and lemon tart were amazing! Very friendly service, wil definitely be back.

Exquisite!! Simply divine dishes. very friendly service and cozy atmosphere. I loved every second of our time here ❤️

Friendly staff and delicious food, but I simply can't give a good review if you charge €5.50 for a bottle of still water. Note: We didn't even order it ourselves; the staff suggested it. It's an old-fashioned trick that I simply don't like. Reply to Moche's comment: the water was forced on us, so it's strange that you have to pay for it when we didn't order it.

Incredible food, cocktails and service!

Me and my partner had an excellent meal in Moche, both going for the chefs menu which was the perfect amount of food. The ceviche was incredible and we loved our passionfruit dessert. The service was great and our waitress was so helpful and friendly. Would recommend to our friends and definitely be back! Our only small issue was the upstairs and downstairs difference, as we were seated downstairs and it wasn’t quite the same ambiance but we still had a such a great time.

Great flavors and a nice setting, but the portion sizes don't quite match the price!

Highly recommended, the best Peruvian food in Amsterdam

I visited Moche a couple of months ago and had been meaning to write a review. A beautiful and cozy place in the increasingly beautiful east side of Amsterdam. I had a delicious meal. I ordered a pisco sour and a chilcano, which were both good. The ceviches and tiraditos were on par with Peruvian restaurants. The tuna and avocado one was delicious, the duck rice was delicious, and the ají de gallina croquettes were crispy and juicy, but lacked a bit of flavor. The service was very good; we were served by a very friendly and helpful Peruvian woman. To top it all off, the dulce de leche coulant and the meringue were worthy of a luxurious ending.

The experience was great. The stuff really nice, very friendly atmosphere and really quick service. The food was amazing, every dish was full of flavor. Only negative is the high prices...be prepared for 90€/pp (3 courses and 1 cocktail).

The food was good, the service was attentive (although we felt a little pressured into ordering quickly after being asked three times in a row). However, be prepared to pay a lot of money for what you get. The portions are not large, so we would’ve liked to order more food if it hadn’t been so expensive. If you like cocktails, be prepared to pay €16.90 for each. The Duck & Rice cost €32.50, and the Tiradito Ponzu €23.80. Overall a good experience, but the price point versus portion size was not balanced in our opinion. 🫤

From start to finish, everything at Moche was outstanding. The food was full of flavor and beautifully presented, the cocktails and wine selection were spot on, and the service couldn’t have been better—attentive, friendly, and professional. This place is a real gem in Amsterdam, and I’ll definitely be coming back.

Our evening began with pisco cocktails that impressed both in taste and presentation. The ceviches and tiraditos that followed were packed with flavor and beautifully crafted—true highlights of the night. We ended on a sweet note with the dulce de leche dessert, the perfect finale to a wonderful dining experience

After visited Peru, I was keen to taste again the cuisine. And what a disappointment. I was keen to try cerviche classico, but it was already gone by 8:00pm (and they let us know once we were about to order it. Tip: maybe share it with customers once you bring the menu). Staff was so unprofessional and clumsy. They brought the water but forgot the glasses. We ordered 2 drinks, first one arrived immediately, the second 20 minutes later(and few reminder later). The service was very slow, we waited a lot for our food as well and weren't asked if we needed anything. Food is good-ish but price-performance ratio is disappointing.

We tried this restaurant on a Saturday night; it was quite busy, and the service was very, very poor. They only told us when we were ordering that some dishes were no longer available (are you already out of ingredients at 8 pm on a Saturday night?). They brought us a bottle of water but forgot the glasses. One drink arrived immediately, while the other arrived half an hour later (after a couple of reminders). The restaurant is nice, but the tables are crowded together (less than half a meter of space between each table in the first-floor dining room). The food is quite good, and the portions are just right: we ordered four dishes, at least two of which were very good. The prices, however, are incredibly high. €17 for a watered-down Pisco Sour is ridiculous.

The food was great, but the service was awful, so I won't be returning. We kindly asked to be moved upstairs where there was a table available, but we were given the most random reason for this not being possible: "we just decided like this". My pregnant wife got sick due to the smell coming from the kitchen and later threw up all the food. Absolutely ruined our nice night with friends. The service was also slow, we waited a lot for our drinks and weren't asked if we needed anything.

After traveling for a month in Peru and savoring the delicious cuisine, we decided to continue our tasting after a day of sailing. After reading reviews, we opted for Moche. My fiancé wanted the cerviche classico, but it was already gone by 8:00 PM. So we opted for lomo soltado and boneless chicken. The boneless chicken was fine, the portion was small, but my fiancé really enjoyed it. The lomo soltado was a bit disappointing. The meat was tender and the other ingredients were also prepared okay, but the sauce was far too acidic. It seemed like they'd overdone it with vinegar or some other acid. We'd eaten a lot of lomo in Peru, and this didn't come close. The pisco maracuja wasn't bad, but for the price of 16 euros, it was a bit bland. The dessert, a sort of passion fruit crumble, was good and had an original flavor. The waitress was professional. I would just buy her a stool so she doesn't have to stand on the chairs in front of the guests with her shoes on when she needs to get glasses. The waiter seemed a bit new. And besides knocking my fiancé's alpaca coat off the chair, leaning over my fiancé while serving the guests next to us wasn't exactly a plus. Price-performance ratio is a bit disappointing.

The restaurant was in a nice area, and very cute decorated. I really liked what they did there. Definitely 5💫 for me. The service was OK, but my US friend was a bit shocked of the service, lol, that's why 3 💫 I would definitely come back for the Lomo Saltado and the Makis. The flavor was on point in this dishes 😍😊❤️ The rest didn't really seemed to me like Peruvian flavor: salmon in huancaina saus, ceviche, brownie and lemon pie. However, I do understand this is The Netherlands, it is a different target group, also different ingredients. So it is fine, it was more like fusion cousins in those plates. Definitely and by very far it was a lot better than other Peruvian restaurants I have visited here (including Callao in Den Haag) and I plan to go back for the Lomo and the makis!! PS: Sorry for slamming the door I thought it had a door stop and I was putting my jacket on 😳

I love Peruvian food in general. I am super happy that this restaurant fully focuses on Peruvian cuisine. Overall, the ingredients and menu are fine, but the taste was too strong for me. A little too much for everything. Too sour, too salty etc…

Highly recommended! Delicious Peruvian cuisine with tons of flavor and refinement. We started with the calamari, followed by the boneless chicken and the salmon, all perfectly prepared and incredibly flavorful. The service was also incredibly friendly and attentive. Definitely a place we'd love to return to when we're back in Amsterdam! Extra tip: There's also a ParkBee parking lot at Middenweg. That way, you won't have to pay through the nose for a meal here.

Great food, but portions were too small and the prices were really overpriced.

No words needed. Amazing food, well taken care of. Ate more than I should have 🤣

We had high expectations on Moche based on reviews, but left very disappointed. We ordered two glasses of white Grenache. A staff said only one glass remained and offered a Chardonnay instead. We agreed, but the Grenache tasted so off it had to be returned. Later, we noticed the wine list had changed. The Grenache and Chardonnay weren’t even on the current wine menu. It turned out we had been given an outdated wine list at the start, and were serving the very last left inventory to clear. When we pointed this out to the owner, he dismissed it as a minor reshuffle. Totally outrageous. The octopus dish served as a main (€26) was shockingly small. It was a definitely a starter size not a main, even compared to other photos of the same menu in reviews. Staff were inattentive, orders were mixed up. When paying, the staff just left the machine on our table and left, no follow-up. After waiting for a receipt that never came, we had to bring it to the bar to confirm payment had gone through. I dine out frequently, and this was easily one of the most underwhelming dining I’ve had recently. **** Edit to clarify a few points from my side after the restaurant’s response 1. Regarding the wine: yes, I raised the menu issue at the table. You initially said the wine selection was the same and only the layout had changed. I pointed out clearly that the White Grenache we ordered wasn’t on the new list, nor were some other wines that are now listed. You then said, “It’s just that one,” and tried to move on. But now, in your public reply, you’re repeating the same claim that the wine list was unchanged which directly contradicts the facts. We ordered a wine based on an old menu, were served the very last glass of that bottle, and it wasn’t on the current list. That’s not “same selection with a different design.” I understand mistakes happen. offering an outdated menu could be one of them. But when it’s pointed out, a simple acknowledgement would have sufficed. Instead, the consistent denial, both at the table and now again in this response, only reinforces my disappointment. 2. We attempted to order more drinks but struggled to get any staff’s attention despite multiple efforts to make eye contact. At the end, the payment terminal was placed on the table without explanation and no one returned to assist. If this is considered attentive service, I respectfully disagree. It’s great that other guests have had positive experiences. But implying that my experience doesn’t reflect the “actual” service is not appropriate.

Great Peruvian restaurant in the beloved Amsterdam East

The food was decent, but the portions were small for the price. While the quality was fine, it didn’t feel very filling or worth the value. A nice spot for a light meal, but not ideal if you’re looking for something more satisfying.

First of all, the food was spectacular, very tasty and high quality. Then, the overall service was excellent, and the Catalan lady working was lovely. Thank you!

Fantastic food and nice service.

not in the photo but you must try Coulant Dulce de Leche from desserts!

The appetizers are very delicious and unique

Besides the fact that Yazan will serve with a very big smile throughout the meal, he also takes the opportunities to really guide you through the menu to make the best options. Even if you’re doubting if you like, for example the coriander Pisco, he convinces you and it did not dissapoint once! Highly recommend

A standout dining experience from start to finish. Moche delivers on every front—great service, stylish ambience, and truly exceptional food. The ceviche was an explosion of fresh, vibrant flavours, easily one of the best I’ve had. The coulant de dulce de leche was rich and indulgent, a perfect way to end the meal. Pisco sours were spot-on—well-balanced and properly made—and even the dessert wine was unexpectedly good. A memorable meal in a place that clearly cares about quality in every detail.

Amazing Peruvian food. The scallops were unreal!

The food and cocktails were good but this was not authentic traditional peruvian food, the menu is not the same what show in the webpagina. Terrible service, forget things, not attetitive.

This was great. You're in Peru for a while. Very tasty.

Excellent food, friendly staff, lots of options on the menu, definitely a special occasion type of dinner!

One of my favorite restaurants in Amsterdam! Special flavors, the best ceviche in town and super friendly service. I can definitely recommend the pisco sour too!

Had a great meal here last week! Ceviche was really fantastic. Has a real South American atmosphere and the service really takes the time to explain the dishes. What you definitely shouldn't miss are the cocktails. Very surprising flavors. All in all a must and when the weather is nice it's lovely to sit outside on the terrace.

Great experience sitting out on their terrace on a sunny weekday evening. Food was excellent and fresh, flavors were delicious and exciting, and nothing was a miss. Looking forward to my next visit, definitely want to try more of their ceviches and the passion fruit pisco!

Wonderful food and service! Everything was super delicious, I’ll definitely come back here. I highly recommend the ceviche2.0 and the dulce de leche and brownie desserts are both chefs kiss.

Wow, what an experience to eat here. Started with a fantastic cocktail, which set the tone for what was to come. Presentation, explanation by the friendly staff and they are fully committed to the customer experience. The food is simply amazing. Pure, fine in taste and of high quality. We shared different dishes each course and were surprised every time by the skills of the kitchen. We selected a nice red wine to go with it and we were sold. We will go back soon, highly recommended if you are in Amsterdam.
