Restaurant Red in Grachtengordel-Zuid

Wonderful staff, service, food and location! Truly enjoyable experience !

Very nice place and excellent breakfast. Ms Rachelle very kind. İ have gluten allergy and dint expect that they has very delicious gluten free breads. İ’ll come back again. Thank you for everything.

The sandwich we had for lunch was good. The waitress didn't seem engaged at all. She tossed the menus on our table. The sweet potato truffle fries were tasty. A decent place for lunch.

The food was good, but the service was not. The waitresses seemed disinterested and inattentive. What a shame!

Amazing food highy recomended- great location too

I went for dinner on Friday and everything was fantastic. Fresh, quality food, a very pretty and well-appointed place, and excellent service. A special mention to Joan Marc, who made us feel right at home.

Love their mushroom soap...like the place cool and quite

We had a wonderful experience at this restaurant. The atmosphere is very cozy and welcoming, perfect for a relaxed and enjoyable evening. The food was excellent, carefully prepared and beautifully presented, with every dish full of flavor. A special mention goes to Valentina, our waitress, who was kind, friendly, and very attentive, making the service even more pleasant. All in all, this is a restaurant I would highly recommend to anyone looking for great food, a warm atmosphere, and outstanding service.

Found this restaurant on Trip Advisor while in Amsterdam for a few days before a Viking Cruise. Food preparation and presentation was impressive. Nice selection, great service.

We didn’t have a reservation and it was already past lunchtime, yet they welcomed and served us with great kindness and friendliness. The place is charming and has a lot of potential, it just needs a bit of maintenance. The food was good as well.

Amazing, relaxing atmosphere. Food was delicious and service was fantastic

We arrived for a very early dinner (jetlag), and had no issues getting in! Food was great as was the service and vibe!

There were some reviews that said that they were slow. THEY WERE SO EFFICIENT, we got our wine immediately, and the starter and full on delicious food in a very timely manner. And the fries that are for free for all main dishes, are PERFECT!

Red is a beautiful French place, which served us a wonderful steak tartare, paired with great wine, as well as a slapping Tomahawk steak. Worth a visit if you’re a true carnivore :)

Amazing service and the focaccia is SO good. Great location too along the canals

Fantastic spot for a delightful dinner by the canals. Delicious food, excellent service! The wine is delicious, and so is the focaccia!

I had a great time! The food was very flavourful and the service was great! My server had amazing recommendations and I loved all the desserts! 10/10 would recommend!

The food was excellent. I had duck and the dish was top class. We visited at a quieter time so was very relaxed and enjoyable.

When I walk into the restaurant and ask if it’s possible to eat without a reservation, I’m told I can go eat at McDonald’s. Thanks for the warm welcome.🤣🥰

Their sandwiches taste freshly made every time.

It's a very cute and well-kept place, the food is delicious, and the atmosphere is very welcoming. We celebrated a birthday there and had a great time, thanks in part to the staff. Thank you!

Beautifully decorated, comfortable restaurant with GREAT service and the food was SO good! 100% recommend a visit here! We stopped for breakfast and had Eggs Benedictine and the Classic breakfast. So much food and every bite was delicious! Cappuccino served with macaroons! WOW!

Robin gave me the best service today! Very attentive very nicely mannered! E total sweetheart. Gave amazing recommendations. He really knows his stuff! The kitchen chef (Sanne) is an amazing chef! Has amazing talent. Cant wait to taste more of her cooking! And for such a young chef (20 years old!!) imagine what she can do in 5 years! 10/10 will definitely come again! Thank you for having me today Robin and Sanne. Ps give them both a raise!

We enjoyed two excellent double espressos, and to our surprise, we were both served a delicious, large macaroon. The waitress was friendly.

Very good service and delicious food! Cheers to the chef and staff. We will definitely come back.

So glad that I found a restaurant that offers proper dinner dishes for lunch! I'm so done with all the sandwiches and smoothies😵‍💫fresh food, quality cooking, and reasonable price in such a downtown location. will definitely come back again!

We were here for a late lunch. The food was amazing, everything was delicious. The tender tuna tartare broke my heart 🥹😍 And the salmon with poached eggs was very large, juicy and filling. Be prepared to pay at least 100 euros for two with drinks.

Excellent food. Cosy and chic. Nice spot outside to watch amsterdam go by

Located on the corner of two streets, near one of Amsterdam's many bridges, it has both indoor and outdoor seating. The dining room is very intimate and welcoming, with a bohemian atmosphere. The service was extremely kind and welcoming. The food is high-quality and expertly prepared. I highly recommend it.

Good service, tasty Caesar salad and the Primitivo was also correct.

A very elegant restaurant with impeccable cuisine. I ate escargot, meat, and drank wine. I think it's excellent value for money. I highly recommend it. For around 50 euros per person, you can enjoy excellent food in a refined setting. The bathrooms are spotless and even have disposable cloth towels. I highly recommend it. Probably one of the best restaurants in Amsterdam.

I love Red. They have a good, extensive menu (tip: lamb shank), a cozy vibe, fast service, and of course, a great location.

I super recommend this place, either for a lunch or just for a drink. I loved Rachele, super attentive to details, really kind and ready to answer all my questions. I listened to her suggestion and I ordered a mimosa: absolutely amazing!

We had lunch at Restaurant Red in Amsterdam, right by the Rijksmuseum. The vegetarian options were a bit limited, but what we ordered was tasty but pricey. The vibe was cozy and classy with a cool canal view. It was pretty empty, but seems like reservations are still a must. Our server was awesome, super attentive to our son’s allergies. Highly recommend for the excellent service!

Excellent place! The food is delicious and the atmosphere is pleasant. Very friendly and prompt service!

Don’t go if you’re veggie, the portions for veggie plates are much smaller than the usual food, we were super disappointed. It’s also very expensive, and takes time.

Wonderful location with a stylish ambiente. Delicious food: We had oysters with spinach and sauce bearnaise (very tasty and homemade!) as a starter, Followed by mussels and tenderloin with fries. Just perfect! Rounded up by an excellent service. To sum it up: we had a lovely dinner.

Rachele was amazing. She was friendly and professional. In the midst of a busy time for the restaurant she managed the tables skillfully while making everyone feel welcomed. Our order was taken in a timely manner. The food was delicious and the ambience was great. I would highly recommend this establishment.

We just happened upon this quaint restaurant on the canal. Our meal was excellent and service was superb

The restaurant is beautiful with a neat, stylish but not eccentric decor. The mirrors deserve a wipe to remove the dust. Otherwise, in terms of welcome, speed of service and service in general, everything was perfect for us. The waitress is smiling and pleasant, without being oppressive, she responds quickly to requests. The music played is very pleasant without being too loud, we can chat quietly. Recommended, the prices are roughly in line with normal Amsterdam prices.

Very good food, a bit cramped for seating.

Food was really tasty. We Went there for breakfast and Had Egg Norwegian and Croque Madame. Also the coffee was very good. Only the prices were a Bit too high for the quantity of Food and Drink.

Great excitation on very well established Menu at reasonable prices at a great location and with friendly service.

Cute little cafe/restaurant with a French bistro vibe. Lovely staff, excellent food.

Looks good, drinks well taken care of, as well as the bites. Vegan bites too

The food was good, especially for the price. Approx 35 euro for everything (2 dishes and 1 drink). Waitresses were also very kind.

The surf and turf was excellent. It's been a while to find such a well cooked lobster. The mussels were wonderful. The sweet potato soup was of great texture. Our 3 year old who loves meat and is usually very picky when we go out, ate every last piece.

This restaurant has it all—cozy interior, good service, food with refined flavours and interesting presentation. I can't think of a single element of my experience that wasn't pleasant.

Excellent food and friendly and service-oriented staff

straight forward steak and lobster! not to be missed while in Amsterdam!

Beautiful restaurant in a beautiful location. The food was delicious, with tasty veggie burgers.

Both the lobster and the steak were overcooked. I asked for medium rare and got grey and chewy.

Attrape touriste avec cadre cosy. Du montage de plat. Par exemple les burgers sec, sans attention, secs. Tout de même 4 feuilles de roquette avec le « black Angus ». Burger vegan sans inventivité et fade. Pratiquement zéro végétaux frais dedans, type mcdo mais dans une assiette (en moins bon) Eau 8€ Fuyez

Their Eggs Benedictine and Mimosas are fantastic! The atmospheres is perfect and I highly recommend Restaurant Red!

Si acabas de terminar de visitar el Museo Van Gogh o el Rijksmuseum, este es el lugar perfecto. El lugar es muy bonito y la comida es deliciosa. Sin duda recomendaría probar si estás en esa zona!

The restaurant is beautiful, warm, and very elegant. I went for breakfast and the food was exquisite. Highly recommended.

Had a bite to eat Christmas time. Super tasty. Cozy atmosphere and super nice people. I will definitely come back

Roquefort burger was amazing and giant croque monsieur very tasty

My wife and I enjoyed a delicious breakfast with excellent coffee! The staff were friendly, and the portion sizes and prices were perfectly arranged. Fantastic!

Decent food served by friendly, attentive, yet somewhat inept servers in a restaurant that's a little past its prime. Stained, dog-eared menus, worn out felt upholstery and chipped tables. Also, mains come with fries, but only one serving per couple—just weird!

The food was very good. The sourdough bread was also good for €2. The service was very friendly and attentive.

As part of a selection of American Express Platinum restaurants, I had lunch on a friend's invitation. Nice corner establishment with an eye for detail inside. Unfortunately the waiter lost our order, so he had to check in with us again. The starter was still wrong. Luckily it was the tartare that was missing and we could still eat at the same time. Bisque also good in taste. Main course I ordered the steak rare. It was medium. The sea bass however was too rare near the head. Don't expect Dutch service, but that's quite normal in Amsterdam. Overall good portions and nice flavors, with some room for improvement.

I visited this place as part of the AMEX Dining for 2 experience and had a fantastic evening. The meal started with a bisque, which had a beautifully balanced flavor with a rich tomato base - neither too heavy nor too light. For the main course, I ordered the steak with lobster, and it was cooked to perfection—the meat was exactly medium rare as requested, tender and juicy. The lobster complemented it wonderfully, adding a luxurious touch. To finish, the tarte tatin was a delightful choice, with a crisp texture and a refreshing hint of lemon. Overall, RED delivered an excellent dining experience with attentive service and high-quality dishes. Highly recommended for a special night out!

No longer has the quality of yesteryear

Awesome food, the Caesar salad was amazing! Well done Team Red

Absolutely loved our experience here! The wine selection was excellent, and the duck was perfectly cooked — tender, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, and the service was attentive throughout. A truly memorable meal. Highly recommended!

Al bij binnenkomst was het personeel niet attent. Ze leken weinig gemotiveerd. We werden eerst volledig genegeerd. Later bleek een persoon in de bediening een positieve uitzondering. Bij vragen over het menu bleek zijn collega slecht geïnformeerd. En een toelichting was echt nodig vanwege de wel heel summiere beschrijving van de keuzeopties. De gerechten waren matig tot slecht van smaak. De bisque smaakte naar tomatensoep. En de vis was te ver doorbakken. Leuk is het zicht op voorbijtrekkende mensen op straat.

Different Taste, special service

Best croak miss you we’re trying to leave it OK

Fantastic caffe. Pancakes and coffee was great. Ambience and service was excellent

Very nice place, well located near the canal. We just stopped for a drink. Frosty welcome.

A trip worth while from the centraal station . Fabulous experience, food , and best kindest service EVER !!!!

Nice food, I had the ribeye and it was great. Service was also great!

The absolute best Croque Madame I've ever had, and I've had a lot of them in lifetime. Lovely little spot and extremely nice staff.

A nice restaurant, but not really top. Service was very helpful and friendly. The food was ok, but not more than that.

Fantastic service and a very cozy place!☺️

The wait was too long, the food was overcooked. I don't recommend it. We stayed 2 hours for a burger that lacked the sauce and the steak was overcooked. You have to wait a long time to even get bread or water.

This was an extremely disappointing experience. I'd expected a lot considering the good reviews. Even for Amsterdam standards the personnel was bad, I could only laugh how poor they served us. No sorry for mistakes. No politeness. Introducing the South African wine as French. The food was mediocre at best. But considering the price it was bad.

Dear Restaurant, dear Jessica, We don’t thank you for your hospitality. The Manager was rude and aggressive because we paid separately with my Friends. I didn’t read that was forbidden. That’s such a shame to be that bad…

Experimentei nesse restaurante a melhor salada caesar que já comi na vida. Inesquecível de boa! O ambiente é ótimo com um cenário bem bacana e boa música tocando. Atendimento cordial e excelente. Fica na esquina da Keizersgracht, perto do Rijksmuseum. Ou seja, muito bem localizado.

Pleasant corner to relax, good cuisine

They accommodated our party for 10 people & managed to provide separate checks😊

Charming Spot in the Heart of the Action! We stopped by for drinks and were pleasantly surprised! The sidewalk seating offered a great atmosphere to soak up the lively surroundings. While we didn’t eat, the dishes we saw being served looked fantastic — we’d definitely consider dining here next time. Excellent service and an enjoyable experience amid the hustle and bustle of the area.

Les plats étaient bons, les cocktails délicieux, le service convivial et rapide. Nous avons passés une très bonne expérience

At Red to celebrate my early retirement and my birthday. It was supposed to be a festive evening, but it wasn’t. Let me start by saying that the food is of excellent quality. But that’s where it ends. It took a long time before we could place our order, so we not only knew what we wanted to drink but also what we wanted to eat. Don’t do this! Ordering everything at once. In no time, and even before we had received our drinks, our starters arrived, along with the oysters we had intended as an amuse-bouche. We mentioned that this wasn’t how it should be and requested that they wait with serving the main course. “Of course,” was the response. Then the wine arrived, but we had to ask for the water we had also ordered. And just as we were finishing our starters, a cocktail, which we had intended as an aperitif, was served. We asked if the main course could be served after we had finished our wine. “Sure,” was the response, but nevertheless, the main course arrived shortly after. We pointed this out and sent the dish back. Yes, they understood that this wasn’t how it should be. However, at a certain point, there was some insistence that the main course had to be served. The tournedos, which was ordered medium rare, was now well done, and the lobster was dry. When paying, we were asked if everything was okay. What do you think? Not even a small gesture, like offering a cup of coffee, was made as compensation. Afterwards, I received an email asking if I would share my opinion on Tripadvisor and social media. So here it is. Sorry if this sounds bitter, but this is how an evening gets ruined. And it wasn’t even that busy, so that couldn’t have been the excuse.

The restaurant itself definitely needs renovation (e.g. dirty couches), but despite that, it must be admitted that the whole thing does the job (interesting, slightly underground atmosphere). Possibility to talk to the staff in Polish. Delicious coffee, tasty cheesecake.

We were treated so well and loved the happy hour. Delicious atmosphere and great mixed drinks.

Very good food and kind service ❤️❤️

Exceptional food and above and beyond service. Even if they made the steak wrong, they immediatelly chamged it. Not to miss in Amsterdam.

Too salty or burnt! Catered to large parties that the restaurant cannot handle.

The one amazing restaurant to dine in with wonderful food and great service in the busy city of Amsterdam. Once you enter the warmth extended by the staffs are commendable!! The ambience is beautiful with some unique ceiling design. Me and my husband were there on a random date night and loved everything we had!!

Thanks Rachele for your fantastic service and recommending the pancakes, delicious! Great place to eat

We had a great late Sunday breakfast after visiting Moco. Great ambiance, good playlist, good food and great location! Linda was amazing and welcoming! Thank you guys!

Good food and chillax atmosphere. Would recommend booking in advance because they fill up quite quickly

The welcome was very friendly, the service very attentive and the food above expectations! I find the price quality ratio very fair, especially considering the location and the freshness of the ingredients. I will definitely come back here

Ok to average dinner. The bread to start was the highlight with the butter. Steak wasn’t cooked as asked, both were overcooked. One waiter was good and helpful, the other was very grumpy and ignored us. I wouldn’t go back.

Celebrating Mother’s Day dinner here and we got the table next to the window seeing cannel, the food is fine and service could be better.

Very nice service, super good breakfast and good coffee, all four of us were thrilled, can only recommend it

Great food, complete and quality breakfast! Easy location and fair price.

I would 💯 recommend this place. We had drinks. Beer and a Crodino Spritz. Then, a cheese plate. All of which were delicious. We saw a lot of fantastic looking good coming out of the kitchen, and the prices were very fair.
