Restaurant The White Room by Jacob Jan Boerma in Burgwallen-Oude Zijde

Amazing experience. Big shout out to the staff member who went for the extra mile. From the service team till the chefs. Good job guys

Normally, I am not quick to write a review, but this experience absolutely deserves one. We enjoyed ourselves immensely and felt incredibly welcome from the very first moment. In particular, we would like to thank our Belgian waiter Philip – chapeau! He created a warm, personal atmosphere and made the evening extra special. Our children also had a fantastic experience, which we greatly appreciate. Additionally, I would like to mention that, despite the website stating that food sensitivities cannot be accommodated due to the complexity, every effort was made to handle this with care. We appreciate that immensely. And the food was truly delicious! Of all the Michelin restaurants we have visited so far, this was without a doubt our most beautiful experience. Highly recommended!

Everything was perfect! The food was delicious and surprisingly good, and the service was flawless. The sommelier's suggestion was perfect and suited to our preferences. We will definitely return on our next visit to the city!

Great place. Great tasty food. The staff is wonderfull!!

Unforgettable evening at The White Room. The food was outstanding and every course was beautifully done, but the staff made it truly special. When they realised we were celebrating our engagement, they went above and beyond, even signing a photo for us as a congratulations card. A magical night we will always remember. Thank you to the whole team!

The White Room is a beautiful restaurant with amazing staff that unfortunately seems to have forgotten about the food and instead chosen to emphasize the bravado and presentation of the food. Pros: The staff are absolutely wonderful. They were extremely attentive, kind, and generous. They were the best part of this experience. The restaurant is beautifully appointed, but unfortunately the view from the windows is of trash on the streets which detracted from the experience a bit. Cons: The presentation of the food is on point, but it seems to have become the focal point of this restaurant instead of actually making delicious food. The cuisine spanned across so many countries including Japan, Thailand, Indonesia, India, and France. Unfortunately none were really executed well. It was disappointing that the hole-in-the-wall Indonesian restaurant a few blocks away tasted far better and cost far less. We had a lovely time because of the staff and the ambiance, but we wouldn’t return until this restaurant found its way back to cooking excellent food.

One of the most authentic experiences in Amsterdam. Chefs Tristan de Boer and Heros de Agostinis formed a magical menu to taste. Amazing team and amazing menu.

We went here for Valentine’s Day and the food was genuinely insane. We eat at Michelin restaurants often, including three-star places, and this was easily some of the best food we’ve had. Period. A huge part of why the food was this strong is clearly their chef, Tristan de Boer. We ended up chatting with him throughout the evening and had genuinely lovely, relaxed conversations about food and his cooking philosophy. His talent is very obvious and his food carried the entire experience. You could feel how strong and confident the kitchen was. Why his name isn’t on the door instead is a mystery to us. Almost every dish had a twist, not just technically impressive or labour-intensive food for the sake of it. Every course had unexpected pairings or textures, and even the plating made the dishes feel fresh and beautiful. A few standout food moments: They served lab-grown foie gras developed in Delft, which I thought was very cool. If you didn’t know, you wouldn’t feel like you were “missing” anything, and you can sleep at night knowing no waterfowl were tortured for consumption :) The caviar from Eindhoven was also special. Tristan worked directly with his supplier to create his own cured version, and it was noticeably less salty and briny than traditional sturgeon caviar. Even the salmon roe was sweeter and more delicate in flavour than normal! And then dessert. There was a chocolate dessert with these little crunchy bits that basically ate like cereal, except they were made from portobello mushrooms. A mushroom dessert. I don’t even care for mushrooms but it absolutely worked! Delicious. Where things fell short was the service, though. For a Michelin-starred restaurant, the attention to detail just wasn’t there. For example, after the bread course, no one cleared the crumbs. Our water glasses kept sitting empty, and there wasn’t water left by the table for us to refill ourselves. These are small things, but at this level, they matter because they pull you out of what should feel seamless. The non-alcoholic pairing was another example. The white was totally fine, enjoyable even! The red “proxy” wine though, was very acidic / heavily fermented and just not for me. That’s totally fine, but what felt odd was that I had already said I don’t generally enjoy red wines, and there was some pushback and insistence from the sommelier that “this isn’t red wine though, it’s a proxy wine” and I “needed the acidity” for the venison. I tried it with the venison, still didn’t like it, and didn’t drink it. And he never came back, so I couldn’t share this feedback, nor order another drink… :) That said, there were also very thoughtful service moments! We were shown a peek into the kitchen (which was surprisingly small!) and that felt quite special. And as we were leaving, Tristan caught up to us to thank us for coming and wish us a good evening, which honestly made us feel great! To sum: the food at The White Room is exceptional. If you’re going for the cooking, it absolutely delivers and is well worth it! But the service needs more tightening to fully match what’s coming out of the kitchen. Right now the food is doing 95% of the heavy lifting (and luckily for them it’s very, very good at it). Edit: We returned about three months later and the service had noticeably improved! It felt much more aligned with the level of the kitchen. The food was just as strong (if not better, especially heading into the spring and summer season). We also had a lovely interaction with the service member Diana, who was very personable and even remembered us from our previous visit, which was a really nice touch! Chef Tristan also stepped away during the busy service to welcome us back and thank us for returning. That level of attention didn’t go unnoticed. Updating this review to 5 stars as they absolutely earned it!

Amazing place, the best fine dine in Ams

Everything at the White Room is exceptional. The food is flavorful with beautiful presentation. You can tell that every plate has been thoughtfully picked to match with the food. The vibe is very relaxing yet luxurious. The service is amazing!! Everyone goes above and beyond. Such a wonderful and memorable meal in Amsterdam. Everyone deserves a treat once in a while, and if you wanna treat yourself for a special occasion, TWR is a good place to be.

They welcome you at the entrance and show you to your table very kindly. They offer you water to start with, either still or sparkling, as well as a moist towelette to clean your hands. A nice touch, especially if you have just come in from outside. Next, they show you a cart with different drinks. In my case, I asked for the menu since I preferred a mocktail. They have an extensive drinks menu. The service is impeccable, with attention to detail and decorum. The maitre asks about your menu selection and then asks again if you have any intolerances or allergies. He explains the menu and what extra options are available if you would like to add them. The starters are three: a tuna macaron, a pumpkin and cardamom roll, and a liquid bonbon with potatoes. The macaron is delicate but leaves a taste of tuna, and the bonbon is refreshing and an explosion of freshness and delicious flavour in your mouth. The first course consists of white asparagus in a cream sauce with ice cream and a crunchy topping. The flavour is intense and delicious. They bring you sourdough bread and very creamy butter. The bread has a crispy crust and a fluffy interior. The butter is smooth. The second course is fish with sliced ​​strawberries; the combination is very pleasant. The white strawberries provide a lovely, slightly sweet contrast to the fish. I was surprised. Then they bring you a crab dish with Thai curries, which they place on top of a creamy apple, represented by the colours. The flavour of the dish is incredible. Sumptuous tastes. The next seafood dish was a rather large prawn with a touch of spice, leaving a lingering aftertaste on my tongue and palate. I loved it. Next, they served Asian-style sea bass with a bao bun. They recommend dipping the bao in the sauce, which I have to say was so delicious I almost licked the plate clean. The sea bass skin was crispy. Then came the lamb: a tenderloin and a rib. It was served with Thai rice. The rice was topped with a crispy layer of garlic, which surprised me with how good it was and the flavour it imparted to the rice. The lamb was tender, the fat melted in your mouth, and the skin was crispy. The rib had chilies and Asian spices that gave it a spicy flavour. But the rice was a perfect 10 out of 10. Next up is the extra cheese course. But it isnot your typical cheese course; instead, it comes emulsified with cauliflower hearts and served with beetroot ice cream and a goose liver crumble. The flavours are perfectly balanced. And finally, the desserts. A couple of courses: the first is ice cream with gelatin cubes, and the second features two types of ice cream, one yuzu and the other pink peppercorn. A great menu choice. I highly recommend the restaurant. And the star is well deserved.

What an experience !!! Thank you for this special motherday!!!

It was a culinary delight once again; magnificent dishes made with great love and creativity, and above all, executed with extreme subtlety. Beautiful accompanying wines, combined with fantastic service, made the evening complete.

The decor was beautiful, the service was excellent, the seasoning of the dishes was perfectly balanced, and the temperature of the food and wine was superb.

Good place , good food and good staff. It is tasting menu for dinner. Would prefer to chance to choose.

Excellent service and beautiful dishes!

Excellent food service and atmosphere

Incredible experience! Value, quality, originality, flavours, service and atmosphere - 5 stars all round! We missed a pic of the venison, but it was one of my fav courses - magic

Very pleasant atmosphere and excellent food

We dined at The White Room in Amsterdam on November 26, 2025, and it was simply wonderful. The service was very attentive yet pleasantly discreet. The menu was exceptional, perfectly balanced, and of the highest culinary standard. Visually, each course was a small work of art. We were particularly impressed by the harmony of flavors and the quality of the ingredients. A superb fine-dining experience in a beautiful setting – an absolute highlight for us in Amsterdam. We will definitely be back!

Absolutely fantastic. Atmosphere and class premium courses. Incredibly astonishing

Visited The White Room for dinner and really enjoyed the evening. The restaurant itself is beautiful without feeling too formal — the historic interior gives it a special atmosphere, but it still felt relaxed and comfortable to spend time in. The menu felt like a reflection of Amsterdam’s own mix of cultures: creative dishes combining local Dutch flavours with subtle international touches. There was a clear focus on fresh ingredients and thoughtful seasoning — you could sense influences from different culinary traditions, which made the meal feel more global and interesting, not just typical fine dining. The variety and balance made it easy to try something new while still feeling familiar and comforting. Service was professional and kind. The team explained the dishes clearly and checked in just enough without being intrusive. It created a nice flow to the evening, and we never felt rushed. Overall, it was a memorable experience that felt like a treat, but not a show. If you’re looking for a refined dinner in Amsterdam that reflects the city’s cultural richness, with good food, a calm atmosphere, and attentive service — I’d definitely recommend giving The White Room a try.

It was an excellent experience, and the experience started way before we even got there with all the calls about or dietary limitations and time of arrival changes. The food was phenomenal and the service was perfect. We had some interesting talks about wines with the staff and explanations on caviar by the chef himself.

Really great service and excellent food.

Excellent evening at the white room. Great places for celebrations - 7 course menu with or without wine pairing. not even counting the multiple amuse bouche you are served in between courses. staff with great attention to details, international, very friendly although keeping it professional which is a great balance. super knowledgeable sommelier - just would like to come back there to learn more about wines. Extra bonus points as we were celebrating a special event, told the staff in a converstion and they surprised us at dessert with a delicious lemon/chocolate pastry. We went for the GOLD menu -- great choice and very different courses that go so well together

We visited as a couple and had a fantastic evening at The White Room. The CHU-TORO with blueberry and shiso was a perfect start, clean and full of depth. The langoustine was cooked beautifully and felt like one of those dishes you remember long after the meal. The RENDANG was rich, aromatic and surprisingly elegant. For dessert, the CHAMPAGNE & CHERRIES was the ideal finish, light and refreshing with a great balance of acidity and sweetness. Service was warm, professional and genuinely attentive. We left full, both from the food and from the experience. A wonderful night.

This was truly a dining experience. Each course was delectable, complex and unique. The staff was patient, caring and wonderful.

An evening at The White Room, located in the 5-star Hotel Krasnapolsky, is more than just a restaurant visit—it's an experience. From the moment you enter, you feel welcomed and valued, as if you were the center of attention. Every single course from the kitchen is a composition that impresses with both the freshness of the ingredients and the delicacy of the flavors. The interplay of textures and flavors transforms the menu into an excellent culinary journey. My favorites from the menu: BBQ Oyster and Langoustine. The favorite wine: Les Clos Vieux | Chenin Blanc | 2023 by Nicolas Joly. We would especially like to emphasize the impeccable service. A visit to The White Room is an experience that sets standards and will be remembered with a smile for a long time to come.

"A marvelous michelin-starred dinner experience in the very heart of Amsterdam" I had dinner here last december with my fiancè (she arranged everything, it was a surprise for me). Let's just star by saying that, out of all of the michelin-starred restaurants that I've been, this is probably one of the most beautiful ones (top three at least). As you enter the main room it is like being transported from Amsterdam to 1880's Vienna, you are completely surrounded by white and gold, with elegant and refined furniture and a touch of modern furnishing as well. I really enjoyed our dining experience, we ranged from fish to meat, from spices to vegetables. What stood out the most for me personally, was the subtle and very pleasing acidic note in most of the dishes we tasted. I also appreciated the wine pairing, a wide selection of wines, ranging from Italy to Argentina, the sommelier (a young woman), was very prepared and friendly as well. Kudos to our italian waiter (I'm italian too) who served us for the whole dinner, impeccable and very accomodating. I would definetely recommend coming to have dinner here if you are in Amsterdam and you want to experience a wonderful elegant dinner. Cheapeau!

It was difficult to choose between the "Gold" menu (meat and fish) and the vegetarian "Green" menu. The latter was ultimately excellent and the different dishes were all very tasty and varied.

Excellent service, fantastic food, every bite was an experience!!

Had a great dinner with friends. Great service with cozy venue.

Very enjoyable meal with David and his team’s delightful service. David is very knowledgeable and humorous. Food was exquisite and first two courses blew my mind with the flavor explosion. I got the green course (veg) and my bf got the gold course. Both were good.

Great experience. Food was extremely good the selection of alcohol non-alcohol and alcohol wine and champagne was incredible. Service was slow therefore dinner was 3 1/2 hours.

It will be a memorable experience for those who seek special treatment. The food is exquisite, the service tailored to your taste and needs, and atmosphere fit for royalty! For me the lamb was their tour de force.

Wij eten eens in de zoveel tijd bij sterrenrestaurants omdat we dat ontzettend leuk vinden. Ditmaal wilde we graag bij de White Room eten en dat bleek een uitstekende keuze!!! Van begin tot eind zijn we volledig in de watten gelegd door de geweldige gastheren en gastvrouwen!!! Super attent, letten op elk detail, zeer professioneel en hebben duidelijk kennis van zaken. Dan het belangrijkste het eten. De gerechten waren fantastisch! Zulke bijzondere smaakcombinaties. Heel bijzonder dat ze het kunnen verzinnen! Ook de bijpassende wijnen waren super!! Ze complimenteerde elk gerecht uitstekend! Mijn favorieten: de coquilles, de melkkoe en het laatste dessert met bonito flakes. Ik kan alleen maar zeggen ga hier eten het is elke cent meer dan waard!

Simply stunning! Super friendly!

Culinary top journey through many world places, with emotionally intelligent service, especially by David 👌

Celebrated my birthday at The White Room – overall a lovely experience. I made a reservation about half a month in advance, and there was no pressure on seating. I noted in the booking that it was my birthday, and they kindly prepared a greeting card signed by all the staff, along with a dessert of milk pudding with orange. 🍊 I noticed other tables received similar treatment even for birthday celebrations, so I guess it’s just how they do it. We ordered the 6-course Gold menu + one bottle of POIRE wine, which came to around €155 per person. The food was a refined fusion of flavors — definitely not something you could easily recreate with regular ingredients at home. I was super full and satisfied. The ambience was beautiful, with spacious seating and a fancy vibe. Perfect for a birthday or special occasion. 🎉

Me encantó la pequeña estructura de buenos platos y la selección de vinos! Algunos de mis platos de mariscos fueron sustituidos por opciones vegetarianas (a petición mía) y son los platos vegetarianos donde realmente se puede ver brillar las habilidades del chef. Muy recomendable. Este puede ser fácilmente un restaurante de 2 estrellas Michelin, ¡ojalá lo consigas!

Loved the small good plates structure and the wine selection! Some of my shellfish dishes were substituted with vegetarian options (by my request) and it’s the vegetarian dishes where you can really see chef’s skills shine. Highly recommend. This can easily be a 2 Michelin star rated restaurant, hopefully thye will get it!

Exceptional service from start to finish. philip was attentive, knowledgeable, and made the entire experience even more enjoyable. Thank you for your professionalism and warm hospitality 🙏🏻

Every bite was a delight to the senses. The set menu was so creative and fun and the service was impeccable. Deserving of its Michelin star and the positive reviews. What an experience!!

Cena eccellente. Personale professionale e super gentile ed esperto. Abbinamento dei vini al menù assolutamente azzeccato , ricercato e non scontato. Bravi bravissimi!!!

C’est notre première visite à Amsterdam et dans ce restaurant. Que dire ? Juste parfait ! Une belle variété de produits, des saveurs raffinées, une cuisine soignée et un service irréprochable.

Top restaurant where you can eat deliciously, in a beautiful historic white space with a chic but accessible atmosphere. All dishes were really delicious and looked beautiful. A lot of attention to the taste. The tastiest langoustine in the Netherlands. Staff exceptionally friendly. The chef came to the table several times. Really completely top here.

A wonderful experience from start to finish. I went for my birthday and was touched to find a handwritten card at the table and a glass of my favourite champagne poured as I arrived: such a thoughtful touch. The Gold Menu was lovely, every course perfectly balanced and beautifully presented. The wine pairing was a real highlight too, with each glass from a different country, a lovely detail. The staff were warm, attentive, and made the evening feel truly special. A memorable night in every way.

we celebrated our anniversary at The White Room, and it was perfect! Everyone was attentive and made our evening special, the food and wines were also outstanding. we would be back at any time.

A Gem. Reminds me of Trotters in his prime.

Wonderful Dining experience with room between tables so we felt like we had privacy. Service was phenomenal with tasty and interesting food "experiences." We never felt rushed and drink pairings were well recommended by the somellier.

Con una estrella llegan las expectativas. Casi se cumplen. GOOD: Gran, prestigiosa e impresionante decoración. - Diseño y mobiliario inteligente creando áreas de mesa discretas. - Servicio muy formal y profesional por parte de personal impecablemente capacitado (con solo un par de excepciones menores a continuación). Buena carta de vinos con algo para la mayoría de los presupuestos. - Platos bonitos, artísticamente presentados, aventureros, inventivos y bien equilibrados. NO TAN BUENO: -Un ambiente ligeramente apurado, con un montón de personal caminando a propósito, pero demasiado rápido. - Las copas de vino se dejan vacías en repetidas ocasiones, pero una negativa definitiva a dejar la botella sobre la mesa cuando se solicita como cuestión de política. - Después de solicitar más pan esperamos más de 10 minutos, y tuvimos que pedir dos veces. Así que sí estamos siendo quisquillosos, pero con una estrella Michelin, y a este nivel de precios, uno puede ser excusado por mencionar cualquier pequeño problema que de otra manera sería sin importancia.

Opté por el menú degustación Green (vegetariano). Los sabores y texturas eran increíbles. El maridaje de vinos también fue excelente, y el Somolier era genial para hablar.

I opted for the Green (vegetarian) tasting menu. The flavors & textures were amazing. The wine pairings was lllere also excellent, and the Somolier was great to talk to.

Fine dining in the middle of Amsterdam. Small portions with intense flavors. Very good wine selection.

This was our third visit and unfortunately, our experience wasn’t as special as our first two. The service was impeccable and some dishes were excellent. But too many were not. In particular, the artichoke dish was not appealing and the pigeon was not correctly finished. Some dishes had an earthy element that was overpowering and took away from our enjoyment. However, the salad served with the pigeon was excellent, and the bread/butter was remarkable. For a dinner that cost 500 Euro, we left disappointed.

Wij eten vaker in sterrenrestaurants, maar The White Room waren wij nog nooit geweest, dus met de Restaurantweek maar eens proberen. Het restaurant is gevestigd in/achter het Krasnapolsky hotel aan de Dam. Het is even goed kijken en de bordjes volgen om het te vinden. De ruimte is erg sfeervol en weer eens wat anders dan in andere sterrenrestaurants. Het beviel ons zeer goed. Omdat we in Nederland zijn, verwacht je ook primair in het Nederlands bediend te worden. Dat bleek heel lastig, al waren er een aantal mensen die aan onze tafel bedienden die in ieder geval probeerden iets van Nederlands te spreken. Nu spreek ik wel Engels, maar mijn vrouw niet. Die spreekt dan ook wel weer Portugees, wat een aantal mensen dan ook spraken, maar het maakt het dan allemaal wel wat rommelig. En ja, naast het eten is de bediening en de interactie daarmee een heel belangrijk onderdeel van de totaal-beleving. Voertaal is dus echt een aandachtspunt hier. Maar de mensen zelf waren wel uiterst vriendelijk, zeer service gericht, zeer deskundig in hun vak, dat was echt top, en maakte dan weer een hoop goed. Dan het eten, dit was werkelijk top en qua smaak-combinaties heel verfrissend en erg lekker. Wel merk je dat het thema 'zuur' bij de Chef wel een (o.i. af en toe té) belangrijk onderdeel is van de gerechten/sausjes. Soms werkt het wel heel goed en is de combinatie erg lekker, maar bij andere gerechtjes vonden we die keus iets minder geslaagd, vooral omdat 'zuur' al snel overheerst. Bijv. de ganzenlever, daar past juist een iets zoete saus het beste bij. (Hebben we in een ander sterrenrestaurant eens geproefd, vandaar dat we het verschil nu kunnen proeven). Wijnen waren prima, en keuze werd goed en deskundig begeleid. Hollandse Kaviaar was ook heel verrassend, wist niet dat dat bestond. Hoewel erg lekker, is bijv. Beluga wel wat vissiger/zouter, wat ik persoonlijk lekkerder vind. Maar goed, wel leuk om eens geproefd te hebben en het smaakt zeer zeker niet slecht. Kortom, we hebben een uitstekend verzorgde avond gehad met bijzondere gerechtjes in en erg sfeervolle ruimte met comfortable zitplaatsen. Enige aandachtspunt is de voertaal, maar wij komen vast nog wel eens een keer terug.

The White Room delivers a solid fine dining experience, with beautifully executed dishes and high-quality ingredients. The tasting menu was enjoyable, though nothing truly stood out as particularly remarkable. The champagne pairing was well curated and complemented the courses nicely. From a cost-benefit perspective, I’d rate it 4 out of 5 stars. At over €500 for a meal, you expect not just great food but also impeccable service. Unfortunately, the experience was marred by the assistant sommelier’s attitude. He was unnecessarily rude and arrogant, making us feel uncomfortable throughout the night. When I expressed gratitude multiple times, he condescendingly asked if I planned to continue doing so—as if being polite was an oddity. He later claimed this was his “icebreaker,” but it only set a negative tone for the evening. For a restaurant with two Michelin stars, service should be a highlight, not a drawback. While the kitchen delivers, the front-of-house—particularly the sommelier team—needs to match that standard.

Klassieke entourage, vriendelijk personeel en heerlijke amuses en gerechten. Duidelijke uitleg wat je op je bord krijgt!! Zeker waard om nog eens terug te komen. Mijn partner en ik hadden samen een verjaardagsdiner hier en dat hebben ze met een verassing aangepakt!!

One of the oldest restaurants in the city, offering refined, modern European cuisine.

One of the oldest restaurants in the city, offering refined, modern European cuisine.

An evening at this Michelin restaurant was nothing short of magical. From the moment we crossed the threshold, we were immersed in a world of refinement and taste. The atmosphere was elegant and inviting, with an atmosphere that exuded both luxury and warmth. The staff especially Joao were extremely professional, yet personable and attentive at the same time, which only enhanced the experience. Every course was a masterpiece. The dishes were not only a feast for the eyes, but also a feast for the senses. The harmony of flavors was sublime, with the chef using precision and creativity to create a menu that was both traditional and innovative. From the delicate starter to the surprising dessert, everything was imbued with craftsmanship and passion for the profession. We would love to come back.

We preferred the set tasting menu. The food is delicious and of high quality. The presentations are very nice. The service is very good. We enjoyed it. A place I can recommend.

For me as a vegetarian, the starters were amazing amuse bouche was amazing. The main dish tasted like a bunch of steamed vegetables. I did not see any protein in my main dish and that’s my only complaint, not even carbs, just something made with celery, so it was a chunk of steamed vegetables. I was missing the smoked yogurt I got as amuse bouche.

This was such an amazing experience. I did the vegetarian option and wow every single dish was 10/10. The service was great. Our server was attentive and explained every dish. The restaurant has such a nice ambiance.

One of the best dining experience, definitely worth the star. We visited during the Christmas Eve for the Christmas special menu. The amuse bouche and appetizers are very interesting but can tell that they are "experimenting". Love all the explosion of flavors and especially the fish with vanilla sauce - totally mindblown. Endless stream of desserts that by the end of the service we were very full. Service is on point even though not the friendliest, but deservedly a Michelin star level of professionalism.

Afgelopen Kerst met mijn vrouw bij The White Room gegeten. Bij aankomst direct hartelijk ontvangen en een aperitief geserveerd. Van amuse tot dessert, wat een feest! Het wijnarrangement is bijzonder en goed doordacht. Zelfs als (amateur) wijnkenner kan je hier flink verast worden. Ook de prijs/kwaliteit verhouding is erg goed, zeker als je bedenkt dat het Kerstmis was!

Un café encantador, con un gran menú festivo. Una estrella se desvaneció, aunque como el servicio era muy lento y pasamos 2 . 5 horas cenando!

Después de haber estado en varios restaurantes Michelin, mi esposo y yo podemos sentir y distinguir las diferencias menores entre dos restaurantes que llevan una estrella Michelin. Afortunadamente, para los lectores de esta reseña, hemos tenido experiencia consecutiva en el entorno Michelin los días 24 y 25 de diciembre de 2024. Observaciones: 1 . Los nombres de los servidores Diana simplemente hablaban una descripción bien ensayada de las comidas sin prestar atención a si la descripción era o no completa para los oyentes. También se mostró reacia a explicar mejor o cambiar su estilo incluso después de pedir que se repitiera. 2 . La paloma era tan... tan. Aparentemente fue el plato fuerte. 3 . Los 'mordiscos' no se servían en platos, pero nos pidieron que los tomáramos de un plato que ella sostenía mucho más alto que nuestros niveles de ojos. 4 . El maridaje de vinos fue el mejor aspecto de toda la noche, seguido por los chicos que nos ayudaron a encontrar el baño, etc. 5 . El ambiente era bueno también. 6 . Para Navidad, redujeron el número de cursos de 7 a 5. Las porciones no eran lo suficientemente grandes como para llenar una pequeña parte de mi vientre y soy un adulto pequeño. No quiero volver ni recomendar a nadie.

The wine was excellent, the food beautifully presented and full of flavour. Each team member contributes to the atmosphere with their own character. A special thanks to João for his professional and friendly approach, which made the evening extra special. We enjoyed it immensely and felt very comfortable.

wonderful first experience. service was excellent, and the presentation was top notch. ideal fine dining experience for all.

didnt give us towels before the meal. and the first two dishes were picked up with our own hands so it didn't make sense. i saw others were served with the plates down on the table, but we were served as the plates on the waiter’s hand, as if he was eager to take the plates back. shiitake mushroom, or Lentinula edodes were not soaked enough. two pieces of pigeons, one had tendons inside and the other wasn't tender. they boasted a “pretend that im not here” service and they asked if youre lefties or righties. but when serving desserts they gave the righties cutlery on the left side of the table. tahts not a big problem if they didnt think highly of themsleves from the start.

Incredible and unforgettable experience. Not only delivered by Chef Tristan de Boer, but also by the team of waiters and sommeliers. Best Michelin Star restaurant I have been in Amsterdam so far.

Vi bestilte 4 retters lunsj, nydelige smaker og lekkert anrettet. Flott service av betjeningen som presentere hver enkelt rett. Dyrt men verdt opplevelsen!

Fantástica experiencia con buena comida por el chef Tristan de Boer. La experiencia completa fue realizada por el equipo de servicio con un agradecimiento especial a Diana, Diogo y Philip. Una niebla ha hecho en Ámsterdam Culinaria

Nos llevamos el menú degustación verde, la cebolla, la alcachofa, la remolacha y el ceps realmente destacaron.

The interior is honestly really pretty and elegant. The food is also really nice and makes the experience better with the overall design of the interior.

Les plats sont bons et assez originaux mais malheureusement très frugaux ! Une entrée à base de betteraves à 35 euros qui semble être une mise en bouche ! C est très exagéré. Le service était à la hauteur. Mais je pense qu il y a beaucoup mieux pour le même prix à Amsterdam !

We had such an amazing time! The staff and the food is excellent! Definitely coming back. Thank you guys!

Amazing restaurant … Staff is incredible.. Lovely vibes … Food is out from this world … super delicious.. Every single plate was super amazing … Thanks to chef and the staff ..

Simply the best restaurant I’ve been in Amsterdam. It def deserves it Michelin start! The service was as impeccable as the food. Every dish was an explosion of flavour!

Excellent food. The restaurant looks a bit over the top, but do not let that stop you to dine there if it fits your budget. I did not know it had 1 Michelin star when we dined there, but I think it's well deserved. We had the gold menu which included some really interesting and wonderful tastes. With 150,=/pp - without much wine - it was not cheap, but in my opinion well worth it.

If you are interested in the Highest Level of cuisine, sommelier, service and gastronomical novelty and experiences, then you’ve found where to have dinner. A very personal touch from the service id like to Thank Phillip with his extraordinary Sour Dough Bread 🍞, Diana & Simon for their excellent services and Federico who has the most on point descriptions, combinations and pairing as a sommelier. Id also like to thank many others who i didn’t have the pleasure to meet. This restaurant truly offers a unique and memorable experience and deserves all the Michelin stars ⭐️ it can get! High Class Fusion Cuisine Top service New Experience 💯Recommended ♥️ (Book in Advance because it gets packed)

Beautiful and elegant location. Excellent and punctual service. Exclusively tasting menu based mainly on fish, but what fish! Really excellent, the dish with the red mullet is pure poetry, but the pigeon is also very good. As far as desserts are concerned, we are not there, we have different concepts and expectations.

Bella ed elegante location. Ottimo e puntuale il servizio. Menù esclusivamente di degustazione a base principalmente di pesce, ma che pesce! Ottimo davvero, il piatto con la triglia è poesia pura, ma anche il piccione è buonissimo. Per quanto concerne i dessert non ci siamo, abbiamo concetti e aspettative differenti.

Delicious food in a nice atmosphere

A very stylish restaurant. We enjoyed the excellent 'Gold Menu'. The dishes were fantastic in terms of taste and of very high quality. The accompanying wine went perfectly with the individual courses. All the employees were super friendly and very accommodating. We really liked it and we will definitely come back. Absolutely recommended.

Truly an amazing experience. From the second we walk into the restaurant the service was top notch. The food was incredible and we paired menu items with mock-tales. The unique flavors and textures of the cuisine matched with drinks was an experience I may never experience again. While the meal is about 3 hours the way you are taken care of and engaged by the staff is simply unmatched. Truly a special experience I would encourage any food connoisseur to try.

Over the past ten years, we’ve frequented many Michelin-starred establishments. During our latest visit to Amsterdam, our dining experiences included Bougainville, The White Room, Spectrum, Ciel Bleu. **Food** The White Room's culinary offerings were competent but lacked the innovation and excitement we've come to expect from Michelin-starred restaurants. While the dishes were well-executed and showcased quality ingredients, the flavors were familiar and predictable. The pre-dessert, a harmonious blend of Champagne, kaffir, almonds, and yuzu kosho, was a standout, showcasing a level of creativity and originality that was missing from the rest of the menu. **Service** The service at The White Room was professional but lacked the warmth and personalized attention we often encounter at top-tier establishments. While the staff was attentive, there was a sense of detachment that prevented a truly memorable dining experience. **Wine Service** The wine service was adequate, with the sommelier offering standard recommendations and the selected wine paired well with the food. Overall, the wine service felt rushed and pragmatic, suggesting the sommelier was overwhelmed by the number of tables. This created a sense that we were not a priority. **Ambiance** The White Room's ambiance is undoubtedly its strongest asset. The restaurant’s luxurious decor creates a stunning and sophisticated atmosphere. **Value** The White Room offers solid value for money. Considering the high cost of living in Amsterdam, the restaurant's prices are reasonable and align well with the overall dining experience. Compared to comparable restaurants with two Michelin stars, which often charge double the price, The White Room presents a compelling value proposition. **Verdict** Deciding between a three and four-star rating for The White Room was a challenge. While the restaurant undeniably offers a luxurious ambiance, consistent service and value, the culinary experience fell short of our expectations. I would recommend The White Room to those new to high-end dining, as the consistency and value proposition may outweigh the lack of culinary innovation for less experienced palates. However, given the abundance of exceptional dining options in Amsterdam, I am ambivalent about returning for another visit. Ultimately, I settled on a four-star rating, acknowledging the restaurant's strengths in ambiance, consistency, and value while recognizing that the overall experience was somewhat ordinary.

Good dinner, the menu and its various dishes left me a little cold. But we had a very good dinner

Delicious food, nice service, but lacks something in terms of atmosphere. I couldn't name it, but all in all a good experience and definitely worth it.

A special restaurant for special occasions. If you want to dedicate an evening to pleasing your palate, then you are in the right place. You have to be open to new tastes and the general understanding of what we call a classic dinner, because this one is anything but classic. We took the whole menu with I don't even know how many courses and all the wines that come with it. In my opinion, the evening and the whole protocol is taking too long. The staff is very helpful, professional and in a pleasant way casual. They brilliantly represent each tanja, and especially the wines they serve. The location is ideal. The atmosphere is very romantic, casual and warm. Small remark - it is not necessary to serve extra champagne and cheese with the full menu. For such a price, everything should be included in the menu.

Excellent meal & fantastic service. The menu was creative without being too pretentious. Flavors were complex and delightful. A few small hiccups in service & felt a bit abandoned at the end of the meal. I would absolutely go again.

We had a great experience! Delicious surprising dishes with perfectly matching wines, some of them very surprising. The service was next level, never experienced before, not even in star restaurants. Philippe, Simão, Frederico and Diana, all top professionals with a passion for their profession, you notice that in everything, but especially the fact that if you ask further questions, it turns out that they have not just memorized a story about the dish, but know exactly how it works. The funniest part was when we asked the question about a herb that we thought we tasted but couldn't identify the name of and we received the same correct answer from 2 waiters in different languages, in unison. The fact that I was called in advance in the afternoon to ask whether we have allergies or prefer not to eat certain things was also new to me. Because of the culinary excellence, fantastic service and top location, you should be prepared to pay a little more, but as far as we were concerned it was worth every euro.

Almost deserves an extra Michelin star. An excellent lunch

- I went here for lunch, 5 courses. the food is incredible. i love their canele in petit fours very much 🤍 - for food, the menu was called ‘corn’ is very delicious 😋 - the service was great and restaurant’s decoration is wonderful

We celebrated our 1 year wedding anniversary at The White Room and we had a beyond delightful experience. The staff was hosting us in a casual yet very sophisticated manner and we felt most welcome. On the background, there was nice electronic music, which contrasted very nice with the “over the top” interior. Think of Marie Antoinette in Berghain. The different courses were playful, creative, exciting and kept us curious for the next one. Acidity is the key word of the menu, which was presented in many forms. For me, the highlight of the menu was the amuse with white asparagus ice cream, just brilliant. We did not drink alcohol this evening, but did not miss it. The restaurant offers a decent range of alternatives such as non alcoholic wines, kombuchas, mocktails etc. Then the bill, which was -for this level of cuisine- very decent. At no moment we felt that the restaurant was trying to push up the bill to the max, which -unfortunately- happens too often in high end places. The only point of improvement would be the tempo, which was a bit too slow for my taste, but that’s very personal. You will see us again!

A very grand dining room with below par food. The vegetarian tasting menu offered some interesting dishes but the overall experience was not at the highest level. Perhaps the a la carte and omnivore tasting menu are closer to the quality you’d expect. I found the watermelon dish lacking punch, the beetroot dish mediocre, the cep mushrooms overwhelmed by the drizzled barbecue sauce and the celeriac unpleasant when combined with the fermented pumpkin discs. On the other hand, I found the salted macadamia ice cream very tasty on the asparagus dish, the emulsion was deep in flavour and tied together the corn and mushroom dish, while the standout course was the delicious caramelised apple dessert. It is a traditional fine dining service in an opulent setting.

The best restaurant I've been to in Amsterdam! Amazing value with so much food included in the course meal. Each dish is absolutely delicious with unique flavors that blend very well together. They had a smokey whiskey cocktail which I really really loved and on top of all that, an impeccable, friendly, fun staff that pays attention to every small detail! 10/10 will come again 🙂

It's a chef restaurant with a delightful ambience inside the Anantata Hotel on Amsterdam's Dam Square, under the management of Michelin-starred chef Triastan de Boer. All the meals were a different flavor. The welcome and farewell offerings were very good. The service was perfect. The drink selection is quite large. It well deserves its stars.

Easily one of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to. I’ve been to many Michelin starred places and this one really took me by surprise. All the dishes were unique and amazing. Highly recommend.
