Mossel & Gin in Spaarndammer- en Zeeheldenbuurt

We've been here a few times and I feel like it's a bit of a hidden gem. Great place to enjoy some shade & a cocktail on a hot day. Food is consistently fresh & the prices are fair. Plenty of outdoor seating.

Loved my mussels and gin was delicious! people working there are super friendly!

Excellent service, sweet girls, but food mediocre, roquefort mussels not tasty, tasted more like juniper berries than roquefort and the salad very basic, namely lettuce and rocket with a hint of dressing, was much better two years ago.

What not to love Mussels ;) Gin creations ;) 😎😎😎

In Westerpark, this little bistro offers mussel soups in a variety of ways (the Roquefort ones are special), accompanied by a truly unique selection of gin and tonics. You won't find it in any of the tourist guides; a friend who has lived in Amsterdam for years suggested it to us. Don't miss it!!! The oysters are also worth a visit.

Awesome locally sourced seafood. No exaggeration, some of the best half shell oysters I’ve ever had. Staff is kind and quick. We loved everything!

What a prank this mussels with rendang and my buddy with truffle

Nice place! We are in the garden. The Thai mussels were our favourite! Prices are reasonable except for the virgin cocktail. This is a regular tonic for 13 euro.

Very nice place with a chill and cool atmosphere. The mussels and the G&T were delicious. Not our first time but also will not be the last for sure.

Was really good! Nice host, good kitchen, nice ambiance. We were there with our daughter for a make a wish day. They made our day complete! An enrichment for the beautiful Amsterdam.

Delicious gin cocktails. Delicious oysters. Super friendly and fast service.

Nice smooth service, delicious food, original menu with Dutch products/wines, and a variety of delicious Gin's! Thank you very much for the nice evening that we were able to experience!

Are you a mussel lover? Then this is your place. We liked our Gin's and the food was great. 🫶

Very good mussels. Even for me someone who has a hard time with seafood and normally prefer not to eat mussels. This is good. If you like sauce and some umami then roquefort is good (South East Asian taste buds). Classic is a bit too bland for me. But if you like to have more of the natural mussel taste then classic is recommended.

Always happy with the service and the fantastic food.

Fantastic little gem hidden away, great vibes sat outside in the sunshine

The place has a nice vibe. We enjoyed a lot the mussles as well as the different kinds of gin they offer.

Great Vibe, Nice food and drinks. Mussels: Thai flavor and Mutang curry beef stew are the best. Gin: I tried the gin with peach, the taste is refreshing and sweet.

Amazing gin & tonic. Amazing mussels. Great service.

Consistent for years in taste, atmosphere (both indoor/outdoor) and friendly service. A laid-back haven in the lovely Westerpark.

Friday April 25, 2025 Had a nice seat and a delicious meal on the terrace at Mossel & Gin for the My Baby performance including DJ set

Great food, great atmosphere and the staff was friendly. However, the overall service was substandard. We had to wait a very long time to order, it took a long time for the dishes to arrive and in general there seemed to be little attention for the guests. Clearing the table also took a very long time. An excellent experience, but not necessarily worth repeating.

Urban club in the park of Amsterdam. The place is nice and the food good (above all the Roquefort mussels) but the service this evening was very slow... essentially waiting over an hour for the courses. It's a shame because the place deserves it. Account ok, friendly service.

In het Westerpark leuk zaakje . Personeel is echt heel aardig . Wel even schrikken wat een glas wijn kost (9 euro) . Veel voorgerechten waren niet meer op voorraad omdat het zondag was ? Mosselen helemaal prima maar wel drie dagen buikgriep erna ( kan toeval zijn) . Via en ships vol met graten . Sausjes wel lekker , de bediening is er erg goed . Voor het matige eten , onbreken van gerechten en de prijs geef ik 3 sterren . Zou er niet zo snel nog een keer heen gaan.

Amazing restaurant, perfect for a spring/summer evening with the terrasse. We ordered the Roquefort mussels and the lobster roll, both dishes were delicious. The sides are big enough and everything is super fresh. The cocktails card is perfect, and includes an alcohol-free option! Finally, the service is really good, it was busy the evening we went, and we were really well taken care of.

We had craving for mussel pot so we decided to try this place for dinner. The mussels were fresh, expertly done & tasted just as it should. The lobster roll has a unique twist & surpasses any lobster burger you’d find in London or anywhere else (& priced reasonably too!). Drinks were a great pairing & above all, the staff was friendly & very attentive throughout our meal. Couldn’t recommend it more. 10/10

This restaurant combines 2 of my favorite things: mussels and gin tonics. We had mussels in several kinds of sauce and Gin tonics and the whole dining experience was amazing! I loved the Roquefort mussels as well as the fries. Also, the combination of gin and mussels is absolutely brilliant!! I highly recommend this place.

One of my best choice for lunch this trip on the Netherlands

Go for the entire experience, starter, main & gin.. music and good service included :) Every year for 7 years now and counting... great food and good service.

Had lobster sandwich, mussels, wine & lettuce fries. Was great. Gin and tonics also on point.

Mussels somewhat bland despite the nice dressings they were clearly not cooked in them

Einfach toll und leckeres Essen Ich würde das Lokal beim nächsten Besuch in Amsterdam wieder besuchen Sehr ansprechend Freundliches Personal

Op het terrein van de Westergasfabriek staan verschillende horeca zaken. Mossel en gin is daar één van. Uiteraard vooral mosselen en gin op de kaart, maar daarbuiten nog wat variatie. Vega beperkt, maar prima vega burger volgens tafelgenoot. De verschillende mosselbereidingen waren super. De voorgerechten zagen er goed uit, maar gelukkig overgeslagen. Pan mossel met friet voor mij voldoende. Goede sfeer en fijne en attente bediening, ondanks dat we boven zaten. Aanrader.

That young lady Elise was a super good host. Had nice conversations when I was there last Sunday. One you should keep! The food was also really delicious :)

Super tasty, gin, beer and of course the mussels 🐚

As usual, Mossel & Gin never fails to be a 10/10. The service and food are outstanding with a warm and comforting venue it is definitely a place to revisit.

Fantastic place! The mussels were fresh and perfectly prepared, and the original gin-based drinks were a real feast for the palate - full of flavor and original compositions. In addition, the friendly service makes you want to come back here. I definitely recommend it!

Had a great welcome after delivery of beautiful tables, had a lovely cup of coffee, a full atmosphere, felt immediately at home, see you soon, greetings to the delivery person

Good service and interesting Mussels dishes. Had moussels with Bier (amstel) very nice idea and lecker. Gin menu also very nice.

Overall very good. Food, drinks and staff is amazing. We had a great time there.

Top ambience, food was great and the selection of gin is amazing, keep it up, we will come back, it's harmonious and beautifully located

cozy and super yummy. I recommend both the classic mussels and roqueford ones!

Nice tent, friendly staff...delicious food...

This place was delicious. The reason for the 4 stars is that I haven't caught up with the current situation. Even if you're a Japanese person who doesn't like many things, please don't be scared and give it a try as it was very pleasant. You can get there by bus from Amsterdam Central.

A cozy restaurant but not necessarily very nice. Sea bass was good, but the salad was simply mixed arugula

Great place and friendly service. I’m surprised this place doesn’t attract more visitors and you can still easily book a table on a short notice.

Super friendly staff and very fast service. We sat upstairs, it was really nice there. I had fried fish, which tasted very good with the fresh fries. We also had mussels with truffle sauce, which was super tasty, and a cole slaw that also tasted very good.

Delicious food. Specially the thai mossels

Came with my team, half of us got very sick the next day due to food poisoning or intoxication…

Congratulations on 10 years of Mossel & Gin! We have been customers from the very beginning and are always happy to be your guests when we are in Amsterdam. As always, it was perfect and super delicious! All the best for the next 10 years!

We were about to pay our bill in cash and the employee refused to accept cash as business decision. This is illegal, they don't have a valid reason to justify it. We really had a hard time to solve it. We made the reservation online and we did not get any warning, nor they do on their website. We had to return the mussels we ordered because the veggies were raw, they said they would have to overcook the mussels to get the veggies cooked so we could not get our order served. They did not offer solution, we had to eat from our friends plates. Really inflexible...

Delicious mussels in several variations, with truffle, roquefort, Thalys and more. All equally delicious. We were a group of 9 people. For those who don't like eating mussels, there are alternatives such as crab burger or sea bass. Nice and smooth service. The interior could be a bit more attractive, and plastic tables and chairs should be replaced by wood and natural materials. Had a great evening, highly recommended.

Small cozy restaurant where the service is really fantastic. They think along and advise when ordering. In the end something went wrong, but they solved it really well. Our compliments!! We had a delicious meal. This restaurant is definitely recommended.

Very nice and cosy restaurant. Food was great and staff was really friendly. Had the vegan empanadas as a starter Those were great!

Great place with delicious food. Highly recommended

Simple but therefore very nice eatery on the grounds of the Westergasfabriek. Nice service and wide choice for those who like mussels. I will definitely come back here again because I love mussels. They are well prepared here. When we were there it was quieter downstairs than upstairs. The

Delicious mussels with a nice wine. The four of us had a great evening. 2 classic mussels, 1 Thai mussels and 1 gourmet. Start with 2 shrimp croquettes and 6 oysters. And with all this delicious food a chardonnay from la revelation. Hey, friendly and good service. In short, recommended.

Encantador ambiente, gran personal y servicio. Mi novio tenía los mejillones y los amaba. La hamburguesa kimchi sin embargo .. Me enfermé mucho después de comerlo. Envió un correo electrónico a través del sitio web, sin responsabilidades. ¡Así que, si comes allí, no pidas esa hamburguesa!

Great service, fast, friendly and the food was just perfect. The mussels we delicious, the oysters fresh and even the fries were great. Definitely recommend! Ah, btw the gin tonic with basil oil is suuuper.

Love this place and mussels were amazing

Top. Delicious food. Nice service. Nice wine.

What a fantastic discovery! Before our visit to the Fabrique des Lumières, we enjoyed a perfect lunch at Mossel & Gin in Westergas Park. A real insider tip for everyone who loves fresh seafood and good drinks! The three of us started straight away with 18 fresh oysters – at a super fair price. The oysters were deliciously fresh, just the right size and served with a classic mignonette which complemented the flavor beautifully. Then we continued with two large portions of mussels, which we shared. The Thai version was an absolute blast - the mussels were cooked in an aromatic sauce with curry, coriander, lime leaves and ginger. The flavors were intense without overpowering the mussels, and every bite was an exotic delight. The truffle version, on the other hand, was wonderfully creamy and refined - the mussels were tossed in a creamy truffle sauce with mushrooms and chervil. The sauce was perfectly balanced without being too heavy and had just the right hint of truffle without being overpowering. We treated ourselves to various side dishes: warm rolls with samphire butter - ideal for dipping into the mussel sauces - and crispy fries with the homemade gin mayo, which is addictive. The coleslaw with crunchy red cabbage and a light mayo was a great complement to the hearty mussel dishes. For lunch we treated ourselves to gin cocktails with passion fruit. It was pleasantly refreshing and not too sweet – a perfect complement to the strong flavors of the mussels. The service was extremely friendly and attentive - we felt completely at home. Although it wasn't particularly crowded on Sunday lunchtime, we'd recommend booking in advance to be on the safe side. The restaurant attaches great importance to sustainability, the mussels come from Yerseke in Zeeland, where they are farmed under the best conditions - you can simply taste the quality! Parking wasn't a problem either thanks to the nearby Q-Park Westergasfabriek. We'll definitely be back as this place is a real highlight for fresh seafood and gin lovers. Thanks for the great lunch – we’re looking forward to the next time! 🍸🦪

Great food and kind staff! You can find real shrimp in shrimp croquettes! The lobster in lobster roll also tasted juicy and bouncy! I also liked the interior, fits with the sea theme!

Sorry, but this is not going to be a good review. I had high expectations and saved Mossel & Gin as my last meal before going home. I had seen over the top reviews on their cuisine. So I went with models and gin: both were bland except for the Thai mussel dish I tried which was messy and overpowering. The gin & ginger was unremarkable. While I was greeted with smiles the attention at my table was not up to standard.

Very cool place, in the middle of Westerpark. Nice location, good service and really good food. The past was delicious!

Wonderful place! Nice friendly service!

Characteristic fish place in Amsterdam. Their main dish is mussels and the cocktails are excellent. The prices are also average

Always nice place to have lunch, service was kind and professional. Good food as usual! Maybe the white wine list can be reviewed as the quality is not so tasty.

Delicious food! Nice atmosphere and very friendly staff! Definitely come back here again.

Great little place with tasty mussels, gins and fries 🙂

What a nice tent this is! And the mussels were of very good quality.

The gin is delicious! The service is super chill and adorable. But the mossels are disappointing for a place specialized in it.

Very delicious food, great service and I love the portion sizes! The drinks were a great pairing with the mussels.

What an excellent restaurant....the Thai mussels and fries are excellent. The homemade fries dipped in gin sauce are delicious. The welcome was warm.

spectacular place! delicious mussels and drinks

We enjoyed all dishes, was super tasty. And of course also the drinks 🍸 🍹

Great but service a bit slow when it’s busy

Pleasant experience. Gin and tonic with exotic flavors. I decided on beer!

Nice, cozy location. The staff is pleasant and comes to check whether everything is as desired. The bartender made a special coffee especially for me that was not actually on the menu. Delicious! The mussels were tasty and well priced, but the monkfish was a bit disappointing (dry and boring). All in all, a nice place where I would like to come back - and certainly visit the terrace in the summer.

Mussels, Bobbys G&T, beautiful location…what’s not to like? A great find and will be coming again when next in town.

Food was delicious and great selection of gin. Service was fairly ordinary, we waited almost an hour for our food due to a ticket not going through. I run restaurants and understand these things happen, but the lack of service didn't help. Our waiter was very helpful and got us a round of drinks which was very kind.

Een hele fijne plek in het Westerpark. Genoten van de mosselen ( ook in halve porties te krijgen) in curry en roquefort. Zeer vriendelijke attente bediening. De gin tonic mango/ rode peper is favoriet.

Delicious mussels, staff are friendly and give honest advice about the menu. Chairs and tables don't radiate much atmosphere, but don't let that stop you.

Great original tent for the mussel lover. Service that immediately makes you feel at home.

Perfection! We had burgers with a side of fries and everything was so fresh and delicious. The fries were light and crispy, not your average frozen oily ones. The service was very attentive without being too much. 10/10 place both with regards to food and atmosphere.

Lovely place. Good atmosphere. Tasty mossels.

The food was great, the service was great. I'm not so sure about the drinks, none of the gin drinks felt like they had any gin in it. We ordered both the half and the full drinks and they all felt like they barely had any alcohol in it

Nice, relaxed atmosphere. Fantastic oysters, delicious mixes with gin. A must eat

Super tasty mussels with truffles. The best I've ever eaten.

Very nice place, nice attention, nice service, nice prices, I recommend it

Everything seemed a bit half-hearted. The site said there were only two spots left, so we booked quickly. When we arrived, it turned out that only three tables were occupied. Even then it took way too long before we were served. Ordered the classic mussels, but they were tastelessly prepared and served with only two tiny bowls of sauce from the supermarket and some greasy fries. The mussels varied from very small to large and oversized and therefore the degree of doneness also fluctuated between pleasant and severely overcooked. + excellent flat white + nice location in the park - quite expensive (25 mussels pp, 14 for a glass of gin) - terrace on gravel and therefore unsuitable for high heels - toilet upstairs and therefore inconvenient for people with disabilities (unless there is a disabled toilet on the ground floor, I'm not sure) -- gave up a gluten-free diet, but was still served gluten without warning

We didn’t order food, but the gin was super good! The service was a bit slow but overall good spot!

What a nice, special place on the grounds of the Westergasfabriek. The ambiance is reminiscent of Italy with simple, inviting chairs and tables where the focus is mainly on good food and drinks. Only high-quality products are used and you can taste that in everything on the menu. Not only in the main courses, but also side dishes, drinks and… well, just everything! The service is also more than top! In addition to the wonderfully relaxed attitude, nothing is too much for them to make you feel at home. People think along with the guest. In terms of comfort, but also outside the menu. An absolute rarity!

Nice experience and food except for the bee issue we faced

Love the place, great location and summer vibes.the look a Like owner Johnny depp was the best host of Amsterdam. We had as starters kroketten and as main truffle mussels🖤. They have a amazing infused gin menu. Thanks mossel and gin for amazinggggg service. U are my new favourite spot🫠

Il locale è al centro di un parco per cui lo suggerisco per mangiare all’aperto in estate. La formula e’ particolare perché propongono ostriche che vi suggerisco per aprire il pasto, e poi cozze preparate in vari modi in quantità notevole, nel senso che una casseruola basta per due. Ottime quelle alla birra. Quindi se non mangiate mitili e molluschi non e’ il vostro posto, mentre se vi fanno impazzire, sarete assolutamente appagati. Il plus sul cibo e’, come dice il nome del locale, il gin. Ottimo quello con frutto della passione e quello rabarbaro e rosa. Ma anche il ‘classico’ ovviamente merita. Potete bervi una birra beninteso, ma come detto rinunciate al plus che a mio avviso da’ valore particolare alla formula proposta dal locale. Ambiente giovane molto piacevole e personale attento e gentile. Bella l’accoglienza di Oliver al nostro arrivo, amichevole e spiritoso ma non invadente. Lo ritengo un posto dove tornare.

Great concept. Very friendly staff, good gin drinks and a large portion of mussels for a fair price. Definitely a recommendation.

Food poisoning. I have nothing more to add

We hadn’t been in a while but came yesterdays with our friends. The Roquefort and Thai mussels are truly unique and one of a kind!
