Restaurant In ’t Vierde Baarsje in Westindische Buurt

The restaurant is a bit hidden away along the main road. I had cycled past it often and had wanted to give it a try for a while. The quality of the meat is amazing and the carpaccio is truly top-notch. The beef tenderloin au poivre was prepared at the table, which was a nice touch and made the experience just a little more special. Absolutely a restaurant I would love to return to.

This was our second visit to this restaurant. We are extremely satisfied with the excellent service; the staff is very friendly and welcoming. Additionally, the establishment is very neat and well-maintained. As for the food, we found the quality to be reasonable. However, the prices are on the high side in relation to the portion size. An important point of attention is the background music. During our two-hour stay, the same music was played continuously, which unfortunately detracted from the atmosphere. We would highly recommend a more varied playlist.

A solid 10 here if you want to give it a try, because you absolutely must!!! What a place. Nuts and sausage served unasked with drinks in the bar downstairs. They understand hospitality here. A family business, the chef in the kitchen, and the front of house is run by his wife, among others. But... this chef also comes out of the kitchen to prepare all sorts of things at the table and have a chat. How nice is that, and you don't come across that very often. Most chefs leave that to the wait staff. The ambiance is like a bistro from 20 years ago or even longer, but that shouldn't spoil the fun. We aren't that hip ourselves anymore. And the food? Seriously delicious; we chose the sole, which didn't fit on the plate and was perfectly cooked! Cod, you want this every day; how does he get it cooked like that?

Excellent service and quality products, I highly recommend this establishment.

Very tasty, nice service! I recommend 😍

You are welcomed at the door by the staff and the owner. Food, atmosphere, and hospitality get a solid pass. You feel right at home there.

Had a delicious meal on Easter Sunday. The food was delectable and the wine was lovely. Exceptionally nice people, we will definitely be back.

The neighborhood restaurant around the corner. Delicious food, nice and old-fashioned. You know what you're getting and it's always tasty; it's cozy with an open kitchen and the chef serves as well. Highly recommended.

I recently dined here and I was thoroughly impressed. The cozy, welcoming atmosphere immediately sets the tone for a relaxed evening. The dishes were fresh, flavorful, and beautifuly presented. Service was friendly and attentive without being intrusive. A fantastic spot for anyone who seeks quality food and genuine hospitality.

What a fantastic place! Wonderful atmosphere, a great and attentive hostess, a chef who tells a great story while he's cooking at the table, and the food is truly amazing. Highly recommended!

"French classics, from onion soup to snails," their website proclaims. Well, we certainly knew what we were treated to. What a feast! I dare say, unparalleled in Amsterdam. We arrived late (8:45 PM), but that wasn't a problem at all, according to the very friendly lady who greeted us. I shared some appetizers with my table companion: delicious oysters, gratinated scallops, and an exquisite, lightly seared foie gras, just like you'd find in Brittany. Served with calvados, apples, and warm brioche. However, we were completely blown away by the tenderloin steak with pepper sauce, prepared at our table by a highly skilled chef. We felt a little uneasy about the late hour (after 11:00 PM), but that wasn't a problem at all. The last time I had such a delicious tenderloin was in Paris. Prepared tableside, too. Every now and then, though it's unfortunately not so common anymore, you know from the very first moment you step foot in a restaurant that you're in for a treat. That you're truly a guest and that the dishes are prepared with love. This was such a moment and such an evening. One to remember and to relive again soon. The only downside was the limited red wine selection. But the wines served were excellent.

Excellent and reasonably priced French. Very cozy. Reserve.

We had a wonderful meal here. We received a warm welcome, first relaxed and enjoyed a drink, then sat down at our table. Your steak with pepper sauce or stroganoff was prepared live at your table. A fantastic experience.

This is truly a hidden gem, authentic and super fun for a night out! And the food is perhaps even better!

This restaurant is truly a hidden gem. We had a fantastic evening here. Upon arrival, your coat is taken and you are personally greeted by the owner, Silvio. You can be seated immediately at a table or first enjoy a drink in the relaxed atmosphere downstairs in the basement at the bar or by the fireplace. Your order is also taken there. As soon as the food is ready to be served, you are automatically invited to take a seat upstairs. We chose the tournedos in a mild pepper sauce, which was prepared tableside—highly recommended. The Pil Pil prawns are also highly recommended. Throughout the evening, there is time for a pleasant chat with the owner and his wife; exceptionally friendly and approachable people. We will definitely be back.

Exquisite food and excellent service. Everything that was served was incredibly tasty and good looking. The chef was incredibly nice too. The restrooms are also clean and well presented.

Fantastic hospitality and delicious food! Lovely Amsterdam restaurant.

Really nice place to eat. Even with kids

Great food and amazing service, trully a gem

Great service and delicious Burgundian food. Highly recommended!

Amazing dinner. Everything we ate was well prepared, very tasty, and presented well. The owners were also the cook/servers. They cared about our experience. We had two different soups, the cod and the lava cake. Everything came with some unexpected and delicious treats. If we lived here, we would eat here all the time!

Six of us had lunch here, starting with a drink outside and having lunch inside. Time was no problem. In the end we stayed nearly four hours. We had the absolutely exciting Tournedous (2 persons). Everything as it should be. Made at the table with a fantastic handmade saus. Excellent taste, smooth and red as ordered. The other four had a traditional Tongue. As it used to be: real big (we were advised to share one with two persons, and rightfully so). Exquisite butter saus and just soooo good. The wine they recommended, fitted very well. Then of course the desserts. All very classic ones. The ones we had were very good, not too sweet and with a good taste of the fruit or chocolat that was supposed to be in it. Amazing, it still exist: a place with just good uncomplicated excellent food and a very friendly excellent service and atmosphere. Dutch kitchen at its best.

Our favorite place for special occasions! This wasn’t our first time at In ’t Vierde Baarsje, and as always, it was an unforgettable experience. We came to celebrate my mum’s birthday, and everything was perfect. The service was outstanding—so friendly and attentive. The chef (who is also the owner) gave us not only an incredible culinary show but also served absolutely amazing food. It’s always a pleasure to come back here, and we’re already looking forward to our next visit!

This evening, my wife and I had an unforgettable culinary experience. Whether it was the service, the ambiance, the wine, or the food – everything was exceptional. As a trained chef myself, having worked in a 4-star hotel, I know how to appreciate truly good food. But we have never eaten this well before. It was outstanding. I even had the pleasure and the honor of creating a dish together with the head chef, especially for the guests. It was an incredibly beautiful moment, and we want to sincerely thank the entire team for everything and for this wonderful evening. Thank you for this unforgettable experience. We are already looking forward to our next visit and can wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant to anyone who appreciates fine dining and a relaxed atmosphere. 10 out of 5 stars! Tonight my wife and I had an unforgettable culinary experience. Whether it was the service, the atmosphere, the wine or the food – everything was extraordinary. As a qualified chef from a 4-star hotel, I really appreciate good food. But we have never eaten so well. It was truly outstanding. I even had the pleasure and honor of creating a special dish for the guests together with the chef.

If you want, I can also help you to open the review on a special platform or to get something done.

Had a great meal at restaurant int vierde baarse. When you enter you can first have a drink downstairs at the bar, then dinner upstairs at the table. Hospitality and delicious food. What more could you want.

Top restaurant, top food and fantastic atmosphere

Great to enjoy classic flambéed dishes at the table. A craft that seems to be almost dying. Dinner was great!

A hidden gem in Amsterdam! This restaurant is truly a golden find. Hidden between the Overtoom and the Surinameplein, you can easily walk past it, but it is definitely worth looking for. You start the evening in the cozy basement bar, where the atmosphere immediately takes you to the Amsterdam of the eighties, warm, nostalgic and unique. After a drink you will be guided to your table, where the experience really begins. The stroganoff sauce is prepared fresh at the table and is without a doubt one of the best I have ever tasted. Everything is perfect here: the food, the atmosphere and the service. The staff is friendly, hospitable and knows exactly how to ensure you have a relaxing evening. A unique place that you will not soon forget - highly recommended!

Amazing fantastic food, great find. Cooked at the table Well worth a visit. Prices are fair.

Good stay with Silvio and his wife in the Baarsjes!

This is where you really go out to eat! Fantastic

It's been a while since we've been here, but it was fantastic again! We will definitely come again more often, because we almost forgot how nice and cozy it is here. Nice owners and fantastic chef! Steak with pepper sauce is prepared at the table and the pepper sauce is nowhere like here, sublime! We travel from Brabant to Amsterdam for this restaurant and we drive past many restaurants, but we really do it.

Had a delicious meal with the family!! We received a super hospitable welcome, we really had a great evening. The hour's drive was more than worth it! Haven't had such a good meal in a long time!!!

Delicious food, perfect service! Recommend!

Top restaurant. Always delicious food.

Very nice, great service and delicious food! Definitely recommended for an old-fashioned fun evening! And the espresso martinis are great!

What a treat to eat here! Great service, delicious dishes. Had a great evening. Definitely come back again.

We sat comfortably and had a delicious meal.

Ate here for my mother's (84) birthday. What a party this was. Fine and tasty French dishes, delicious wine and a very nice chef and service. Everything is right in this intimate French-oriented restaurant. The starter, main and desserts were excellent. The staff gave you their full attention and thought along with you. Will definitely come back here again. price/quality was perfect.

Very nice people who have a lot of fun in their work and have very high quality food! Recommended!

Oct 26, we had dinner with the two of us. A warm bath. Very friendly, pleasant and knowledgeable staff. Delicious food, well prepared. Homely atmosphere. Delicious snacks from the house beforehand and a spoom in between. Dover sole was fantastic, mousse au café too. Everything refined and prepared with love. Update Had dinner again recently. The food was just as delicious and prepared with love, compliments for that! In terms of atmosphere, it has deteriorated slightly because there are new staff. They are undoubtedly doing their best, but they cannot create the atmosphere for which this restaurant is known and if you ask something (about a dish for example) they have to ask. All in all, I think it's a bit of a stretch for a quality store like this. We will try again, hopefully it will turn out well. I wish the owners the best.

A little piece of France, thank you for a great and very friendly cuisine

Classic French bistro. Dishes are prepared at the table, including flambéing!

Restaurant chosen thanks to the comments and we cannot be disappointed. Excellent food, service and servers are perfect. Everything is done to ensure that we have a great time. Preparing the dish live is a great idea, I can only recommend it. The waiters and chefs also took great care of our son, which is a significant plus. I recommend if you go to Amsterdam

Nice night, best memories. Gonna be here again. Thank the chef, waiters and especially the warm boss lady

What an incredible experience. Delicious food! The food is prepared at the table. Really great!

This restaurant is very cozy, owner-managed, very hospitable and creates wonderfully tasty dishes. We felt very good here and it was a relief after so much mainstream food to finally let our palate be pampered. This restaurant is highly recommended.

Nice and delicious Amsterdam restaurant. The meat is fried at your table which is a nice experience. The Chateaubriand is also prepared at your table and you can choose what is used and what it is delicious!!

What a great place to have a casual and really good meal! Small-scale, hospitable, personal attention, no time slot... truly an evening of fine dining with excellent wines. Nice menu with delicious dishes. I loved the foie gras myself🤩. Recommended and will definitely come back!

All stars double deserved. The food and service were great 😍

Dining here was truly one of the most unique and memorable experiences! The distinguished chef personally visits your table to cook your meal right in front of you, even getting you involved in the process. We absolutely loved the interactive experience—it was both entertaining and delicious! 🤌🏼 The staff was incredibly kind and welcoming. We can’t wait to come back! 🫶🏻

Such an authentic French restaurant with a cozy, homey vibe. The food is incredibly delicious and beautifully prepared, and the staff is warm and welcoming. My number one spot to visit in Amsterdam!

Silvio is quite the chef and personality. He prepared some housemade sauce au poivre for us on the side at request. He also surprised us with a fabulous prosecco and raspberry sorbetto cocktail to cleanse our palates between our first and second courses. Great meal and ambience.

Had a great evening at In 't Vierde Baarsje. Service, especially Sylvio, were extremely friendly and the food (especially the chateaubriand) was delicious. Would definitely recommend this restaurant.

Delicious, cozy, highly recommended!

The food was super tasty, the service and owner were super friendly, fun and pleasant. I'll definitely be back, especially for the chateaubriand; it was wonderfully tender and perfectly cooked.

Why does this only go to 5 stars? The food? Amazing. Michelin good amazing. Everything was flavorful, cooked perfectly, and served beautifully. Service? Silvio and Natasha took care of us like family. They had honest reccomendations and chatted with us like friends. A perfect evening!

A warm welcome, had us dining in one of the most atmospheric restaurants we’ve been. Our meal was prepared at our table by the chef/ owner. To top it off we had a lovely liqueur tasting downstairs in the quaint basement bar! Such a fantastic night! Thank you Sylvio!

Terrible restaurant. They looked at us up and down and saw the luggage bag. And declined us saying “all the seats are full” I felt it quite racistic. Or at least a discrimination. They checked us out and told all the seats were full explaining “Sometimes people from the bar side will eat in the table.” I could see there were only 2 tables with people and no other tables were with reserved sign. Maybe it has good food, but their attitude is terrible. ——————————————- I read your comment. It’s a surprise to hear that you “kindly reserved the all the several empty tables” for the people who’s drinking in the downstairs. I don’t think people usually drink first and have dinner, and I’ve never seen any restaurant that’s reserving several spots including bar side and the restaurant for people who’s drinking downstairs. Normally in the restaurant they ask you “Do you want to sit in the bar side, or the table side” not “We will reserve both bar and the table side that no other customers can be here” I truly don’t get this kind of discrimination. Be honest, instead of making up bad excuses ————————————- Because you are changing your reply, I’m leaving the second reply. You have tables for around 10spots on the upside. And for the downstairs, you have around 5 tables and some seats for the bar sides. It is possible that around 4-5 teams from the bar side reserved the whole 10 spots on the upper and down side or more people were supposed to come, but how your server approached explained was not with good explanation, I rather felt like I got kicked out. And it was rude enough to make this serious complaint. Instead of making it as a fault of a customer’s for not knowing your restaurant’s culture since they never visited your restaurant, when you get a complaint, why don’t you try to make it better or say sorry instead of continuously making excuses?

Always very tasty!! The Best Steak Restaurant in Amsterdam!!!!

Classic French cuisine. Chosen for the "mother of classics". Chateaubriand Stroganoff prepared at the table. Tenderloin nice and red and then that sauce... Very good! A really delicious full creamy taste. Was the first time and certainly not the last. I'm not done with the menu yet!

Everything fine. Just a very long wait for the food. According to the staff, the crowds on Saturday were the cause. But waiting an hour for a cheese board?

As always, a great restaurant, delicious food, top service, great atmosphere. See you soon..

A gem hidden in plain sight, amazing service and food. I do recommend the fried sole and the smoked salmon !

So delicious food, fantastic service and a great atmosphere. We will definitely come back again!

Classic French cuisine, Chateaubruand Stroganov prepared at the table, as well as tournedos au poivre and crêpes. Delicious food!

It was AMAZING.Definetly a 6/6 star.Great food,Kind staff,Fun atmosphere and JUST A GREAT EXPERIENCE

Food was delicious and the service was also excellent. Recommended to everyone.

Good food that makes you feel at ease

Wonderful restaurant. Nice interior, pity that it looks less attractive from the outside. But there is little they can do about that. Very surprised about the food!

Delicious classic French cuisine, starter (cocquilles st Jacques), main course (hare loin, highly recommended, super tender) and dessert (creppes suzette) excellent, super friendly staff....do it

Heerlijk restaurant, fantastisch sfeervol. Verrukkelijke klassieke Franse keuken. Wij hadden de paté met eendenlever en de foie gras vooraf. Ik heb geen foto kunnen maken omdat het er zo mooi uit zag dat wij direct zijn gaan eten. Daarna tournedos en hertenfilet... Bij de ontvangst door de gastheer en eigenaar Sylvio voel je je meteen op je gemak en in de watten gelegd. Dit is echt: uit eten gaan!

Eten bij dit restaurant is niet gewoon eten maar het is een belevenis en een ervaring. Heerlijke maaltijden worden aan je tafel klaargemaakt en het personeel is vriendelijk, behulpzaam en legt goed uit wat ze doen en wat je te eten krijgt. Het kost wat meer maar het is de experience dubbel en dwars waard.

Heel prima plek om te eten, op een onverwachte plek.

Verassend, van buiten zie je niet zoveel maar eenmaal binnen is er een prachtige vide waar je dicht bij de kok heerlijk kunt dineren. Beneden is een hele gezellige bar. Personeel allemaal super vriendelijk en de gerechten heerlijk. We komen zeker nog eens terug naar deze verborgen parel.

Enorm lekker met onze dochter, schoonzoon en ouders gegeten. Heerlijk Chateau Briand waarbij de behorende saus aan tafel met uitleg door te flamberen wordt bereid. Heerlijke gerechten, gezellige inrichting en enorm gastvrij personeel. Echt een avondje uit en volop genieten. Kleine tip! Probeer wel wat ruimte over te houden voor een dessert, in ons geval waren de Crêpes Suzette mijn favoriet en de saus werd nu ook weer onder ons toeziend oog aan tafel geflambeerd. Helaas zijn we vergeten de saus van de Chateau Briand die nog over was en wel door de gastvrouw voor ons was weggezet vergeten mee te nemen, maar dat halen we de volgende keer wel in.

Sehr freundliches Personal, lässt einen auch umsonst aufs Klo :-)

Heerlijk eten.. Wel een serieuze lange zit zeg.

Gezellig restaurant bediening perfect en vriendelijk

Sehr lecker, freundliche Bedienung

Beste restaurant van Amsterdam!!

Hervorragende Küche, es gab immer wieder kleine apetizer aus der Küche und auch einen Aperitif aufs Haus. Sehr freundliches Personal. Das beste Restaurant was ich in Amsterdam bisher besucht habe.

Eten klassiek maar erg lekker klaar gemaakt. Bediening erg vriendelijk.. alleen is het meubilair en de inrichting wel wat verouderd waardoor je hier misschien snel voorbij loopt terwijl het zeker de moeite waard is!

Op suggestie van mijn vriendin hier een hapje wezen eten, en dat was een fantastische keuze. Vriendelijk en betrokken personeel, met wie je een gezellig babbeltje kan hebben tussen de gangen door. Ik heb enorm genoten van de coquilles en eendenbout, de chocolademousse was de perfecte afsluiter daarna. Alles aan de avond voelde perfect, zeker een aanrader.

Hier vind je gezelligheid en heerlijk eten . De bediening is heel vriendelijk, kundig, snel en grappig. Ik kan dit restaurant iedereen aanbevelen

Gezellige ambiance en lekker eten.

Vroeger kwamen we hier zeer regelmatig. Ben Koppen was de eigenaar en Silvio stond in de keuken. Silvio staat nu aan het roer. Good old times, heerlijk gegeten. Tot snel weer.

Un ptit wk à Amsterdam et la découverte de ce superbe restaurant. Un belle accueil Les patrons et le personnels sont super sympa, une petite carte ,mais largement suffisant. Les plats et sauces sont cuisinés devant vous . Je recommande sans hésiter

Heerlijk gegeten. Begonnen aan de bar en mooie avond met 4 vrienden waar het personeel ons rustig door de avond begeleide. Verborgen parel, have fun.

Vriendelijke bediening, alle rust bij gerechten serveren, heel fijn!

Top eten Mega bediening .Echt een aanrader

Our first dinner in Amsterdam was wonderful!! We found this restaurant through a YouTube video and were amazed at the food and especially the service. All the staff recommendations were delicious. The restaurant is near Vondelpark in the Museumplein district. We had a nice walk back to our hotel through the park. What a wonderful night!!

Top, eigenaar kok en gastheer Silvio flambeert nog aan tafel.

Heerlijk gegeten..zeer goede bediening..aanrader!

Wat een (her)ontdekking, dit restaurant. Hier vind je Oud-Hollandsche gezelligheid, heerlijk eten en dat voor een scherpe prijs. De bediening is heel vriendelijk, kundig, snel en grappig. Kies vooral voor de sausbereiding aan tafel! Ik kom hier graag terug!

Zeer attente bediening, veel aandacht voor je welbevinden, je voelde je echt de gast, een grote aanrader.

Een avond om nooit te vergeten. Bij binnenkomst wordt je vriendelijk ontvangen. Geen snerende vraag of je wel gereserveerd hebt. Na een borrel aan de bar met je gezelschap aan tafel waar je geniet van heerlijk eten, aardige bediening en wat entertainment op zijn tijd. We komen zeker terug‼️

Zeer gezellig en voor iedereen die van chateaubriand houdt een echte aanrader. Die saus........
