Restaurant Black Olive Amsterdam in Nieuwmarkt/Lastage

Superb setting, warm welcome, generous cuisine and simply very well cooked ❤️

Awesome restaurant, friendly and professional waiter. Highly recommended.

Lovely, everything was great thanks for great evening Kind staff and nice food We will come back off course

Tapas and salads very were tasty, friendly atmosphere and personal. Will be happy to come again

Everything is great. Very tasty Adana kebap and baklava

Very tasty, atmospheric and soulful!

I went to the restaurant with a friend, and even though we didn't have a reservation, we snagged a table right before it started getting busy. The service was super friendly and quick, and the vibe was nice. The food had a bit of a Turkish twist, but the rice in the stuffed aubergines and peppers was a bit mushy, and the yoghurt was more like heavy cream, missing that zesty kick. After the starters, we decided to skip the main course and desserts, although the baklava did look pretty tempting. Overall, it was a pleasant experience.

Probably one of the best restaurants I've been to. Space, service, food, atmosphere...all at the highest level. Congratulations!

We found this restaurant while looking for an authentic place in Amsterdam. It has a very convenient location. The place serves top quality Mediterranean plates with side dishes. It has also a quiet ambient which is a perfect place for family dining. Strongly recommended.

Delicious food and very kind service.

They were able to cater to my gluten free allergy

Food quality and service were very good. When ordering an unknown soft drink, they were offered to taste it first. We also received delicious bread with three types of dips for free as an appetizer. Main courses of grilled lamb tenderloin with gorgonzola sauce and T-bone steak with homemade chimichury were very tasty. After dinner we were offered a glass of water and delicious baklava. So definitely recommended.

Had a lovely meal last week with iftar. Price quality ratio is good.

Nice place to eat Turkish, for the drinkers you also have snacks. If you want to avoid snacks then this is not the right choice otherwise good food for occasions

The food was delicious, very good service and a pleasant atmosphere.

Great restaurant. Stylish and cozy interior. Fast service. I ordered a ribeye steak. Oh... very tasty!

Had a great evening with delicious food! Definitely recommended!

We were originally trying to go to Olijfje which was fully booked and they directed us around the corner to their sister restaurant, the Black Olive. We had an amazing time, everyone we interacted with was extremely pleasant and welcoming. Our server (who may have been an owner/manager?) was fantastic and made sure I was accommodated with my gluten restriction. Most items were naturally gluten free, and everything that had gluten was labeled on the menu. He even brought us a round of limoncello shots at the end. What a delicious meal!!

The best restaurant in town ❤️ I’ll come Back for sure

Perfect place to come, really nice food and exemplary staff! Super nice people, will be back for sure!

6 days in Amsterdam and we had dinner 3 times at this establishment! We were attracted by the warm atmosphere and then seduced by the flavors. The staff are friendly and efficient.

Exquisite cuisine, great service, food in such an atmosphere is a complement.

I was craving Mediterranean cuisine and we ended up at Olijfje/Black Olive (both restaurants are under the same owner). I chose the Adana kebab and my partner the tenderloin. We were fasting, but the main course came a little later. So we got free soup! In addition, we also received other small side dishes for free. Coming back to the food: it tasted very good. I was quite surprised by this, because the Adana kebab tasted just as good as in specialty stores. The tenderloin is also recommended; the sauce tasted very good! The service was super good

Amazing and super nice workers! Also the food was super delicious! We are definitely coming back!! Thanks for having us!

We had a wonderful experience at Black Olive, a Mediterranean vibes restaurant, during a wedding ceremony. The service was excellent, and the food was delicious.

The food, delicious! And then the service is perfect. We lacked nothing, the service is friendly and very hospitable. We had a good meal with friends and will definitely come back!

İt was great expreince to eat Turkish food and Greek kitchen.All waiters was so polite and smile everytime.But Mr Costa serve and host us very well smiling talking from life.Thanks for everyything an delicious food ☺️☺️

Advised! Warm and welcoming environment, friendly and fast staff, friendly owner and quality food. 👏👏👏

Perfect evening from start to finish! Very pleasant and caring welcome, the service was truly perfect in terms of kindness, efficiency and attention to detail everywhere! The dishes were simply delicious! On our next trip to Amsterdam, we will definitely come back! Thank you for this beautiful evening!

Restaurant Black Olive was a fantastic experience! My girlfriend and I tried the tapas there and we were really impressed. The patates bravas were delicious, perfectly seasoned and nice and crispy. What a surprise that we even got a portion of the house to take home! The service was excellent; the staff were friendly and attentive, and made us feel welcome. We thoroughly enjoyed our evening and can highly recommend Black Olive to anyone looking for a cozy dining experience with great tapas. We will definitely come back!

We only had group arrangement and it was definitely over priced and what they call a 5 course meal is just actually a 3 course meal. It is certainly more than enough food but not worth the money considering most of it is just Turkish bread. The main course was also quite over cooked. The chocolate mousse was lacking texture. I would not recommend the group menu. We also got over-charged because we booked but some of our guests couldn't make it.

This is the best restaurant I've had in a while. I've been traveling for over 10 days and went to different countries. A friendly and highly respectable staff always asks and fills your table with delicious appetizers. The food is unbelievably tasty. Thank you Black Olive for this amazing experience

Service was top notch, food was superb, staff were so welcoming, environment was sparkling and perfect scenery for photos. It was a great experience.

Our first dinner in Amsterdam as it was close to our hotel. The place is nice and the food varied and tasty. Very friendly staff. The owner was very nice and invited us to a beer. Recommended!

The staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive, providing exceptional service throughout the evening. They were knowledgeable about the menu and offered great dishes and wine pairings!!! I highly recommend this restaurant ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Friendly service, delicious food with dishes from around the Mediterranean. The slightly fancier version of Olijfje that we also like to visit.

Thanks for everything to Kostaki!

Amazing Experience!Black olive was fantastic! The food was delicious, the service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. It was perfect! Can’t wait to come back!

Enjoy delicious, Mediterranean food in a great ambience

Food was delicious, super friendly staff, highly recommended!!

A group of 26 people enjoyed the friendly staff and fast service. The food was good. The room is quite noisy/not great acoustics.

I would like to say a big thank you to the staff for the comfort, service and pleasant atmosphere in the restaurant. Kudos to the chef's team, you are masters of your craft. We really had a great time and enjoyed the dishes. It's great that you prioritize the communication of visitors rather than screaming music. Thanks also for the cleanliness everywhere.

We were impressed by the comments and chose it for dinner; we are glad we did. The food we ate was delicious, especially the lentil soup was great, it was very good after a walk in the cold weather. The owner of the restaurant, Mr. Can, is very attentive, all the staff are friendly, we felt like at home. I definitely recommend

Extremely friendly staff. Knows how to explain the dishes well. Food was fantastic in an attractive restaurant.

It doesn't get any better or tastier! Thank you for all the delicious food and warm welcome.

Delicious food and extremely friendly service. Highly recommended. We were in their other restaurant where there was room. The manager walked me because he knew there was room here. Beautiful modern restaurant with amazing food!

Delicious T-bone meal! Nice and tender. Cozy and nice service. Recommended.

After a performance in the Oosterkerk, we decided to have a bite to eat here (make a reservation!) Friendly staff from the first meeting, we got a spacious table and enjoyed the atmosphere, conviviality, delicious food and pleasant service. Highly recommended!

Great restaurant with great people. Good and generous food!

Excellent food and friendly service.

A great restaurant. The owner and staff were all very welcoming. The atmosphere and food of the restaurant were very nice. Many treats came to our table.

Always delicious food, cozy atmosphere and top service.

Delicious food, friendly service. Everything according to your wishes! Definitely worth repeating!

One of the rare restaurants I give all-five 😍 from the first step in till the very last step out, everything was awesome with no exception. You should definitely go and have a dine in. I loved the vibe of staff and the owner as well as their sweet treats. All Dishes were served with abundant portions and they were tasty!

Impeccable from start to finish. If you're in Amsterdam, don't miss it. Reservations required.

The Restaurant is truly worth recommending! The food was incredibly delicious and of high quality. The waitstaff was very attentive, ensuring a pleasant dining experience. We were even offered a complimentary dessert along with two glasses of water. Overall, an excellent experience!

We had a really good dining experience at Black Olive, the food was delicious, with creative dishes and intense flavors. But what really made our experience special was the service. All waiters were extremely attentive and friendly, always ready to help and advise. The service was quick and efficient, without having to wait too long between courses. Overall, our experience here was excellent. If you're in Amsterdam and looking for a place to enjoy a delicious meal and top-notch service, this is definitely the place to visit. You won't be disappointed.

It was a great evening all around, very friendly, very clean, very attentive and quick service!

Great service, very good atmosphere, very tasty food.

I would definitely recommend it, -The place is clean, -Food and snacks are very delicious, -The staff is caring and relevant,

Very warm welcome, very generous portions and excellent cuisine

10 / 10 must go to Mediterranean restaurant!!

One of the few rare restaurants without racial discrimination. It's hard to find a place like this in Europe, but it was in front of the hotel. (This place is famous for being one of the best restaurants in Amsterdam, so I recommend making a reservation on Google!!) The mixed grill lamb and beef were seasoned just right without any odor, and the grilled salmon was also very delicious. The rice and grilled vegetables were really delicious. But the aperitif bread, sauce, and olives were the most delicious in the world haha. I almost couldn't eat because the reservations were full, so I went in because they asked if it would be okay to eat for just an hour. (For Koreans, a 20-minute meal is enough haha.) The taste, service, and atmosphere are all perfect. A place where you can feel the warmth that you must visit when you come to Amsterdam. If you visit Monet Garden, be sure to visit!!!!

We had a very nice dinner. Thank you.

Excellent restaurant with friendly staff

We landed here by chance 2 years ago and were more than satisfied. Eating here has become routine every time you visit Amsterdam. Very friendly staff, diverse offerings and the ambience are a 10/10 ✨ The dishes are incredibly appetizing. The efforts of the owner cannot be overlooked, thank you for the pleasant stay with you!

Magnificent restaurant, go there with your eyes closed! The quality of the food is impeccable, the atmosphere warm and the service impeccable. They even offered us appetizers and tea. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would without hesitation!

Delicious food! Good service and a very pleasant atmosphere. Those mezzes are really delicious! We will definitely come back again

The restaurant was very good between the setting, the service and the food everything was very good however a little slow between courses

Excellent food, very friendly staff. Highly recommended.

We had an incredible experience celebrating our wedding anniversary, and Costa truly made the night unforgettable. As our waiter, he was attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. We even had a surprise dessert with fireworks!.. The food was absolutely delicious, and the entire evening was flawless. We highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a wonderful dining experience! Thank you, Costa, for making our special night even more memorable.

A busy restaurant with a lively atmosphere and excellent staff. Every member of staff was helpful and with a great sense of humour. Food was superb. We all had lamb dishes which were flavoursome, plentiful and very well cooked. Great place, well worth a visit.

The staff was very friendly and accommodating. We booked a Christmas dinner for 13 people. Restaurant is decorated with taste, with large olive trees and fireplaces. The food was good.

The food is excellent, the leg of lamb was succulent The atmosphere is good, the service is top notch, very warm, really a very good place, very good value for money 👌🏼

Nice restaurant with great staff. Thanks for the BVOs ;)

We had dinner there with a group and from the moment we entered there was a very pleasant atmosphere and the staff was incredibly friendly. The tapas were versatile, the olives and olive oil (from Crete) that were on the table were of top quality. All dishes were served in an appetizing style and all types of meat (in the mix grill dish) were wonderfully tender and perfectly seasoned. It wasn't too overpowering and you could still taste the natural flavor of that piece of chicken, minced meat and lamb skewer. The dessert was also just the right amount and the Turkish coffee I ordered was prepared for me with all the care and time required. I enjoyed it immensely. I felt like a guest in their home instead of their restaurant. I definitely recommend Black Olive and I will definitely go back.

Top restaurant, very tasty food and thanks for the beers on the road!!

Very tasty food! The service was also very friendly.. The atmosphere is super nice and cozy. I can only leave good things there! We'd love to come back :)

We had an amazing time at Black Olive restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was excellent. It was such a lovely experience, and I highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Amsterdam. Merci 😊

Everything was excellent. The reception is very warm, fast service, delicious food, very good wine

Very good food! Attentive service! Excellent friendly environment! Affordable prices!!! 30-11-24! UNFORGETTABLE NIGHT IN AMSTERDAM!!!

What a warm welcome upon arrival, very sweet staff, experienced and very fast. The Tapas Mezes main and desserts are delicious and it is a pleasure to eat here. Unfortunately I don't have more stars to tick, but from me you get a big 10.

Friendly people, tasty food and fantastic service! Definitely recommended

Had the group menu, tasty snacks and main courses. Real value for money. Friendly service.

Very good food! Worth the experience!! Best restaurant in AMSTERDAM!!!

Very good service and delicious food

Top service, Top food, Top atmosphere. Really tasty food

simply the best mediterranean/turkish restaurant in amsterdam - in food quality, location, taste and service. i’ve been to many restaurants, but Black Olive and Restaurant Olijfje next door are my absolute favourites. make sure to try famous appetizers. highly recommend for a nice evening in the city center & also suitable for groups.

5 stars! Food is fresh and delicious Staff is the friendliest and most kind! Top notch place! You wont regret going!

In Amsterdam, where I had been wandering around hungry for two days, I saw his name and went in thinking that even though he was not one of ours, at worst he was either Greek or Italian. It was a relief to see our pasha on the wall 😀 This is probably the best restaurant in Amsterdam. Be sure to evaluate it.

Excellent meal from start to finish! Our group had a variety of meat, seafood, and vegetarian dishes, all of which were delicious. Service was also fantastic and the staff could not have been nicer or more accommodating. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Amsterdam!

One of the best, maybe the best turkish restaurant in europe! Bravo!!!

Attractive interior and friendly service. We had some tapas snacks and a drink and we really enjoyed it! Delicious bread with hummus, tasty tapas, it was just fun. We will go back again for the main courses!

Best restaurant and service ever and that comes from a Rotterdammer.

Very good food and wine. The only thing wrong was the wine glasses 😉😊

Delicious food and super tasty meat. Friendly service with good suggestions.

Exceptional restaurant!!! Excellent food and service!!! Special thanks to Kostas and all the staff who did their best for us to have an amazing experience!!!

Delicious food and amazing restaurant

We were on vacation in Amsterdam and found this restaurant thanks to the very good reviews. We tried it and were not disappointed! Great welcome, the dishes were excellent and we even had 2 desserts offered even though we hadn't ordered! It was really a very good experience! Go there with your eyes closed but remember to book, online on their site, it's reliable! Thank you Blackolive Amsterdam!

The service, food and ambiance were all fantastic! The baklava was insane. Highly, HIGHLY recommend this spot!!!
