Restaurant Wils* in Stadionbuurt

Great experience! Soothing atmosphere, the chefs are calm, skilled and more than happy to talk about the meal they are making you. We had the chefs experience 5 course meal, and every single one was amazingly well crafted and as delicious as can be. I highly recommend a visit here, the a la carte menu also offers various options that had me salivating.

Overall disappointing experience. Food is ok, but a complete riddle why this is Michelin worthy. Nothing outspoken, unique or inspiring. Service was Amsterdam style bad. Mixing up still and sparkling water, charging extra for food we did not have. And then the venue itself, hard to find, rats on the outside (ok they can't help that, that's the major of Amsterdam that made Amsterdam a sewer) and no airco making the guests sweat like crazy.

"Service here is less enthusiastic than in the US or Japan—maybe a no-tipping culture thing? Still, absolutely solid and no complaints whatsoever!"

Staff is very much in your face. Commands attention when announcing the dishes. Taps on the shoulder every time to ask if you like wine. Intrusive way of serving.

Thank you so much for a wonderful evening. From the warm welcome and excellent service to the beautifully presented and incredibly delicious dishes, it was an unforgettable experience. The concept is perfect for anyone who appreciates visual delights, anyone who enjoys delicious food, and anyone who simply wants to be pampered. Refined dishes, lovingly prepared and perfectly balanced in flavor. A culinary journey that completely captivates you. The highlight was a tour of the kitchen by the chef himself. He took me under his wing, showing and explaining everything, and you could truly feel his joy and dedication to his work. A huge thank you to the entire Wils team!

My husband and I dined at Wils for the first time tonight. It was well worth every penny. What a warm welcome. The staff was exceptionally friendly! Besides the fact that every bite was a real treat, we also thoroughly enjoyed the staff. People work here with passion and love for their craft, and it really shines through! Every plate is prepared with immense care and attention, and you can certainly taste that in the result. Once again, thank you for the wonderful evening; we enjoyed it immensely!

Had a very nice meal, staff were incredible and gave me a tour of the kitchen. Made for an incredible evening. Thank you!!!

the owner(s) of this restaurant do not seem to understand that the most important elements of dining out are (1) the cuisine and (2) the company at one's table. No, they seem to think that their choice of music and their choice of the volume of the music is the most important. When asked whether the music could be turned down a bit, the answer given was "the music is part of the concept", yes they said that. For that reason alone I recommend not going there, apart from the fact that we had to ask three times for several things before getting them. The food was nice, at times interesting.

We visited today. It seems quite rare for Japanese people to come here, but it's a restaurant well worth the trip, even from Japan. You can enjoy wonderful dishes that make the most of wood fire and spices. They were also very attentive to allergy requests. The wine list also features wines from excellent producers at very reasonable prices. The food is, of course, wonderful, but what's even more amazing is the service. We were served by a Spanish man, and of all the restaurants we visited during our two-month trip, including Michelin-starred establishments, he provided the best service – he was practically an entertainer! We will definitely come again. Thank you for a truly wonderful evening. I was deeply impressed. Superlekker! ¡Todo estaba buenísimo! ¡Muchas gracias! MAJI SAIKOU!

Absolutely amazing experience. The food well the Michelin Man out side says it all.

Had another delicious meal there! Everything was perfect, a good piece of meat with a top-notch glass of red ❤️ The asparagus was excellent. Actually, everything. Highly recommended!

Most probably the worst meal I’ve had in a restaurant in my life. I went to this place kinda hungry after doing 20,000 steps around Amsterdam ready to eat a good filling meal. I get there and I’m greeted with some pepper to be precise half of a pepper. Then we say after waiting a long time we started receiving our taste the menu I’m not gonna go in depth. I’m just gonna say all of that together was less than the salad. Even one of the chefs told us that it’s impossible for them to give us some meat as it’s too expensive and it’s not gonna be profitable for them. I ended up paying €900 for what looked like some leftovers On the bright side service was alright.

Located at the Olympic Center, this was an experience. Starting with a welcome drink and bite. My bite was dairy-free, grilled tomato with a nut and more – an explosion of flavor. I chose an oyster as another bite. The oyster had beef fat melted on it, sour mango bursts, and smoked peanut butter. An amazing bite. Bread was whole wheat sourdough, rustic, crunchy crust, and soft. I chose the chef's menu, with the optional squid. 1. Spring vegetables, wild garlic, morels. Loved the various zones with different flavors and textures. Delicious. 2. Razor clam, broccoli, blood orange. Smoked flavor throughout, crunchy raw broccoli pieces, blood orange finish. Lovely and unique. 3. White asparagus, hollandaise, woodruff. The asparagus were grilled, with a light sauce, a couple of almonds for crunch, the ensemble was excellent. 4. Squid, cabbage, gochujang. Another great flavor burst with a light spice, overall stupendous. 5. Sweet potato, beef heart, suga Slight heat, grilled heart, and more. This was good. Snack (a surprise) was a rhubarb dipped in sugar, the slight sourness was tempered by the sugar. 6. Lobster, roasted chicken jus, cassia Simply wow. Great combination with chicken jus, the bread that came with was also very good. 7. Magnolia, green pea, kiwi Very nice finish, crunchy oats, sherbet. The service was on par with the food, top notch. Each chef brought the dish they prepared and explained how it was made. The executive chef came over to check, I couldn't give enough praise to for food and staff. The restaurant layout was very open, with the kitchen in full view. Diners were added at a slow pace allowing the staff to maintain their high level of service.

It's everything you want in a Michelin starred restaurant. The staff were amazing. They brought me and my daughter into the kitchen for a tour so she could see the interworking of a michilin kitchen before dinner and the chef came to hang out while we were having desert. Only down side is it's a bit out of the way. Other than that, recommend.

I first came to Restaurant Wils two years ago for a quick dinner, and was intrigued by what I tried so returned for their tasting menu on a recent trip to Amsterdam. Due to my schedule I arrived at opening and sat at the counter, and was able to watch the prep and flow of the kitchen as well as the techniques of open fire cooking. Very entertaining! I ordered the spring tasting menu with wine pairing. As before, the menu takes a bit of bravery - it only lists the 3 main ingredients of each dish and some of those ingredients may not be ones you "think" you'd like. Trust me, go with it. For me, the menu was - Spring vegetables - wild garlic - morels Razor clam - broccoli - blood orange Parsnip - magnolia - beurre blanc Squid - cabbage - gochujang* Sweet potato - beef heart - suya Lobster - roasted chicken jus - cassia Jerusalem artichoke - melipona - vanilla Let me add that everything is house made. From the bread to the kim chee. All the sauces. Microgreens and herbs from the garden. Many of the dishes have unlisted ingredients that will pop out and surprise you, for instance the finger-lime caviar hidden in the chicken verjus of the lobster dish. The wine pairings are inventive - orange wine from the Savoie, côtes du rhone white blend made in the burgundy style, a rich antique muscat from Yalumba, etc. Service was attentive. At the counter, the young chef de partie was happy to answer questions about ingredients and preparation, and invited me to the fire to see how the magnolia beurre flanc was flambeed. When I complimented the bread I was given some to take home. It isn't a place that the casual tourist would happen upon - it's located above a car dealership to the side of the old olympic stadium. But it is easy to access from the main part of town - from Concertgebouw just take bus 357 and it literally drops you off in front of the building in 10 minutes. The atmosphere inside is upscale casual, more so than the mothership Rijks in Amsterdam. I will definitely come back a third time to see if my impressions remain the same.

The food was fine, but not exceptional. Other Michelin-starred experiences were much better for less money.

Restaurant Wils was the first time my husband and I have ever been disappointed by a Michelin Star experience. Excruciatingly long three-hour service with mostly mediocre food. The server was very kind, but I would not recommend a visit here. My favorite part was the mocktail I ordered which was very delicious. We started with the crab bites and artichoke dish, both fine but not special. My husband ordered the pig which arrived cold. I had the sea bass which was creamy and nicely cooked, but overly salty. Dessert was not memorable. For the high price and small portions, it was simply not worth it, especially for the long wait times between courses on top of the trek out of Amsterdam central to visit there.

We have eaten here about ten times by now and were always enthusiastic, but unfortunately, this visit was very disappointing. For €860 (with only non-alcoholic juices), we (4 people) received a surprisingly large number of vegetarian dishes/products and relatively little meat. Additionally, we really missed the wow factor this time: some dishes were somewhat bland in taste and the use of herbs/flavors was substandard. We are not used to this from this restaurant. Because we came here to eat with friends again, it was especially unfortunate that they were also disappointed. Precisely because we have introduced many friends to this restaurant over time, this makes it all the more disappointing. Based on this experience, we can unfortunately no longer count this restaurant among our top 5. A real shame.

The staff were very friendly. The food was delicious.I especially recommend trying the steak 😍. The welcome drink was also very tasty.

Traveling for work and checked this place out on recommendation from ChatGPT/Google Gemini. 10/10 did not disappoint Amazing service from beginning to end and I enjoyed every dish they served. Not a huge soup guy but the first asparagus soup dish was one of my favorite dishes I’ve ever had Super friendly service and would definitely come back

The food was incredibly delicious! We chose the chef's menu and every dish was a hit. The vegetable dishes were surprisingly good. We chose two bottles of wine to accompany our meal (after receiving extensive advice). I thought the wine was okay, but not exceptional. All in all, a very pleasant experience, a pleasant atmosphere, and delicious food. We will definitely be back!

Food was ok, but not worth the price tag. Beef consisted of 3 tiny slices, cooked rare. Tried the menu + extra dish, that one was too salty. Wine selection is bad. Overall, sub-par experience.

Delicious!! The atmosphere was also fantastic and especially relaxed. It was Christmas and very busy, but still super relaxing. We had a wonderful time.

We had a wonderful evening. We parked under the Olympic Stadium. Afterward, we were welcomed into the restaurant with drinks and snacks. We had a seat at the bar, which gave us a great view of all the chefs' culinary skills. The food was fantastic, and the accompanying wines were delicious. Everything was well explained, which was really nice. Definitely recommended for a night out with amazing food.

Well worth its Michelin star. Truly exceptional food, with a lot of earthy tastes (smoke, jerusalem artichoke, cauliflower, chestnut). All in truly original and tasteful combinations. Also don’t miss the incredible wine pairing. Clear value for money even if this type of deliciousness will never be cheap. Great modern setting with a lovely view of the open kitchen. Very friendly and attentive staff, can’t recommend them highly enough!

Incredible food and great service!

We had a wonderful meal and drinks, what a lovely place

For our Christmas dinner, we had a table right next to the open kitchen. It was wonderful to watch the young team at work. The open fire created a lovely atmosphere. The dishes were very innovative and delicious. The service was very attentive.

What an evening! It started off great with a refreshing kombucha and a delicious amuse-bouche, followed by a six-course dinner with paired wines. Everything was perfectly prepared. Be sure to book the Chef's Table; it's fun to watch the chefs at work. Every course was creative and delicious. The wines complemented it beautifully. We'll definitely be back!

Wils is highly recommended. Surprisingly cooked and innovative. A lot of it uses charcoal, but definitely adds value. A surprising wine and spice combination. What this young team has created here is remarkable!

What wonderful and incredibly hospitable people. Delicious food in a cozy, homey atmosphere. The service was excellent. There was one dish that wasn't to my liking, but otherwise everything was delicious with beautiful flavor combinations.

High disappointment for a Michelin Star restaurant in comparison to others. Food was ok but not at the level expected for such a place. Atmosphere is cool however I did not see any creativity in the dishes served. Overall pricy for what it is ! Dessert was the summum of disappointment with no flavor in the ice cream. Signature dish was good giving the impression that the menu set for restaurant week was deliberately designed as basic. 2 stars given overall because of the food !

I had vegetarian options, the food was good, not great. Out of our 6 courses I disliked 2. Unfortunately, the service was sub-par for a michelin star restaurant. Our main waitress was very helpful and professional, but each dish was served by 2 different people that were probably still in school and had no idea what they were serving. They had no love or passion for their job and were at times very disinterested and unaware of what they were even serving. We also had a pregnant person present, and they kept mixing up the veggie, pregnant, and meat/fish options, to the point were we just let them make their expected mistakes and shuffled our plates once they left. I know the Netherlands hires teenagers in all their stores, but if I pay 700 EUR for a dinner, I'd like the service to match that price tag.

Special compliments for the quality of the ingredients, the professionalism of a young team, and the excellent alcohol-free pairings!

Heres a short and sweet review. Restaurant is LEGIT!! Was welcomed with a nice Kombucha and a stuffed artichoke. I arrived an hour early and was seated, lucky me. Food was amazing, staff was great and their open kitchen was well kept and very clean! I will be back there for sure!

📍Stadionplein 🪑Stylish decor 🛎️ Substandard and unkempt for a regular restaurant, let alone a Michelin-starred restaurant. The hostess's pants were covered in white stains and she wasn't very friendly. 💰Cheap in the Michelin-star category. 🍽️ This Michelin-starred restaurant was number 14 on my list, and I found it really substandard and not Michelin-starred compared to its counterparts. 🅿️ Nearby garage - Amsterdam price :) 💡I preferred Wils Bakery, and it's half the price. You get a seat downstairs instead of upstairs.

The experience we had last night at Wills was exceptional in every way. The food is fabulous, the presentation is beautiful. It's a surprise with every course. We're French and used to a certain style of fine dining, but we discovered a new chapter in gastronomy and pleasure, in essence and indulgence, with incredible, spicy, and tangy flavors. It was very, very good, the team is amazing, very friendly. The fact that the chefs came to serve us and chat a bit to explain the dishes was a very pleasant touch. It's both relaxed and chic. It's accessible, it's a new experience that our friends and we enjoyed last night, and it's excellent value for money. So, it's truly an experience not to be missed when you come to Amsterdam. The wine list is superb, and we were able to try a Grange des Pères! Thank you. Sincerely. And Bravo.

Food was absolutely amazing. Wine pairing was grand 😍

Had an amazing farewell night here! Both the mains and desserts were great. The staff were super friendly and attentive.

My bf quite liked it. I absolutely did not. Such a posh disappointment. We booked during what appeared to be an influencer event which for a 1 star restaurant should happen outside traditional evenings because the attention of the managers was clearly more on the show delivered to influencers rather than on the real customers. Gault&Millau zegt “nog meer gastvrijheid… Chef Thomas Val regeert met rust en overzicht”. Rust zeker. Overzicht dat zou ik niet zeggen. The chef seems unfortunately to have become a chief marketing officer instead of a 1 star restaurant chef and barely did nothing in the kitchen during the whole evening (except scrolling on his mobile to like some Instagram posts and doing PR with the influencers and smiling to the sexy ones). Food was good, rather strong tastes, cookings on point, some interesting dishes, nothing phenomenal. Unfortunately influence marketing won’t save them for long. 16,5 euro for a watery Aperol Spritz :/ Please follow a cocktail masterclass… we had to ask for bread because they forgot it, cutlery was missing, dessert was frightening, portions were small, 35 minutes before the first dish… Such a disappointment. Staff is cool and brave and do what they can to compensate the jaded chef.

The food was exceptional, but the overall experience didn’t quite meet Michelin-level expectations. We opted for the wine pairing, which unfortunately didn’t complement the dishes as well as we’d hoped. Given the price point, it was a disappointing spend, and the atmosphere lacked the refined professionalism typically associated with a Michelin-starred restaurant.

Highly recommend this place. The courses are an experience, so rich in flavours and texture, presented so nicely. Also the stuff very nice, helpful and always there to answer questions. Be sure to select the seats towards the kitchen for "first row experience" on how the food is preapred.

Just PERFECT! Can we one day get two stars with a plate of fries and service in a T-shirt? I dare say so, chef Joris Bijdendijk and his team deserve it! First of all, you're outside the city center. You don't really understand where the taxi is taking you and drop you off in the middle of nowhere, facing a pitch-black stadium on an equally dark forecourt! You think you're a bit lost before you see the bright light. This sets the tone; at wils, we like to go off the beaten track and surprise you a little! There are restaurants that have it all! It's not easy to create a fun and entertaining Michelin-starred restaurant! The line between chic and convivial and simplistic is very thin! Here, the exercise is perfectly mastered! The chef wanted to create a fun and friendly place with a kitchen completely integrated into the dining room. You have to sit back and observe. On the food side, the cuisine plays the score of fun and comfort, like the quail with butter chicken! The spicy squid starter is worth the trip alone, and the mushroom sundae is simply amazing. The service, while still in T-shirts, is very professional but above all, ultra-friendly. The team loves working here, and it shows! They hug each other, they help each other, and constantly ask if everything is okay! If there are two of you, you absolutely have to eat at the counter to see this spectacle of delicate energy. And I have to finish with the restaurant's last huge plus: probably the best wine list in town! In other Michelin-starred restaurants, it's either bland or completely overpriced, even outrageous! Here, you'll find some amazing wines (Grange des Pères, Arnaud Lachaux, etc.) at very reasonable prices. No speculation, just the pleasure of doing your job well and allowing enthusiasts to enjoy some truly delicious wines! You can feel the passion of this young and adorable sommelier! In short, I could say even more, but I'll stop there! Huge congratulations and thank you! Definitely one of my best restaurants this year! I could come back to Amsterdam just for Wils!

The food is okay, just fine, but with a Michelin star (read: Joris Bijdendijk), you'd expect a culinary surprise. Maybe we weren't lucky that evening. So, we recently went for the second time, but unfortunately, no one in this group was pleasantly surprised either. Joris himself is incredibly friendly and proudly shows you around his kitchen.

The first stop on my ‘Joris Bijdendijk Restaurant Tour’ in Amsterdam (sometimes business trips can be a real treat) was Restaurant Wils, and wow! What a sensational treat Joris, Tomas Val, Tanja Yabra (what am amazing dessert) and the amazing kitchen team conjured up. Fresh, creative flavour combinations, some of which I had never experienced before, simply world class, and I had the best view of this great team. Add to that a sensational non-alcoholic accompaniment and wonderful service, and I was even allowed to go straight into the kitchen to watch one of the courses being prepared 🥰 Many thanks to Joris, Thomas and the team for this extraordinary evening of indulgence.

The oysters were delicious as a starter, the egg mayonnaise was nothing special, the steak tartare was delicious, but the bouillabaisse was a small amount for a lot of money. It consisted of a few pieces of cod, cherry tomatoes, and a cup of watery broth, which was a shame. Price-quality ratio: 6. We wouldn't drive out of our way for it.

The food was delicious, but when you later come across a post saying you could have gotten a 25% discount on a 6-course dinner through heerlijk.nl, it's a bit of a shame. So, here's a tip for others, valid until September 30th.

Omg, vegetarian tasting menu, great Natural wine from jura to go with it, we were in heaven

I celebrated my birthday here with a 5-course lunch. You simply must have eaten here. It's a surprise all those delicious flavors and combinations that you don't often encounter. Good explanation of the dishes. Nice open space with a nice view over the city. They grow their own herbs. Professional and attentive service. I would love to come here again.

Found a plastic piece in my desert. The one who made it just say sorry, didn’t replace it or do any amendments. Luckily, we were filming the whole time.

Menu was a bit pricey for what was served on the chefs menu. Also no amuse for a 6 course menu? Food was a good standard but no special dishes. One dish (runner bean/almond) was too bland and one note. Service tried to upsell a cheese board but they had less cheeses since some were sold out. It felt a bit stingy. 6.5/10 overall. We had high expectations but left slightly disappointed. Not an experience worth repeating.

Very warm and welcoming staff. Exquisite and creative dishes with well rounded flavors while still being unique. Made my Familía feel at home and had a night to always remember. 10/10 compliments all around

Beautiful food experience at Wils with exciting flavors and textures. Food is amazing, service is impeccable and the setting with the view on the kitchen, the Olympic stadium and their lovely rooftop garden is just lovely. Highly recommend taking a little tour of their garden to see and smell the flowers and herbs they incorporate into their dishes. All in all, a wonderful evening!

An Unforgettable Dinning Experience

Such a beautiful place. Food at the European forefront and wines 😍

Yesterday I enjoyed a culinary experience at Restaurant Wils. The quiet atmosphere provided an intimate setting and more personal attention. The 6-course menu with the Wine Discovery was perfectly composed, where the taste of the wines matched the dishes perfectly. Tasting different cheeses in between was a pleasant surprise. It was a unique experience to sit so close to the kitchen and follow the cooking process. I am already looking forward to experiencing this again. An absolute must for gourmets who are looking for a unique culinary experience!

We will be married for 30 years soon and were given food at Wils as a gift. Together with us we were welcomed well and given a drink and a small snack. Later to our table and we were given an explanation of the menu. The dishes looked fantastic and very tasty. The service explained each dish and the different wines were delicious. In short: enjoyed it very much. Top. Tip: the dessert was too much and the flavour combination special.

Had a fantastic, fully catered evening. Delicious menu and super service.

The place to go if you’re in Amsterdam

Very rude staff, we were enjoying a glass of wine when the bill was thrown on the table. We indicated that we wanted to stay longer but we had to pay. It was not busy at all. When we entered we were given a drink that was so sour that all the guests left it. The oysters were really disgusting, that may be personal taste but we saw that the other guests were certainly not happy with the food and the staff. Too bad we had high expectations.

Had a fantastic dinner here. The location is very nice, overlooking the Olympic Stadium. Great service, nice wine list and good advice. Beautiful meat, and I found the cuttlefish to be one of the most special dishes I have eaten in recent years. Chapeau.

The restaurant is a bit hidden in a large building that you have to walk around from the road and then take an elevator to the third floor. The view is of the Olympic stadium. The kitchen is open and there is an open fire, which creates a certain atmosphere. They don't do appetizers, although you do get a small snack immediately upon arrival. The chairs and benches are comfortable, although the color scheme is not to my taste. Management is young and pays close attention. Water is constantly updated with new bottles, but of course there is a 6 euro pound bill. So be it. All dishes were incredibly tasty and creative. The flavors are well matched and the appearance is more than fine, see the photos. In addition to the 6-course menu, we also took the wine arrangement. The wine was poured by different people per course. Sometimes the 125 ml, but also below. In my time, 6 glasses came from a bottle, but nowadays 5 is common. Suggestion: spend an hour pouring wine glasses (with water) with the entire serving staff to get the right amount in hand. We also exchanged sweets for cheese, with delicious tawny port and we also tasted the special ratafia (see video), but it was found to be too sweet... all in all we had a wonderful evening and can therefore highly recommend this restaurant.

If I could give this restaurant more than 5 stars I would!! The service is incredible but with a relaxed vibe. The food was delicious!!

El chef una vez hizo un gran libro de cocina y YouTubes. Abrió su propio restaurante en Amsterdam Sur en un edificio modernista recientemente renovado. Después de salir del restaurante, sentimos que la inversión que tuvo que hacer para esta ubicación y el tamaño del restaurante debe haber sido demasiado. Era tan insatisfactorio. Nos sentamos a lo largo del mostrador largo a lo largo de la enorme cocina donde no pasa nada excepto en la esquina con parrilla de fuego abierto. El resto era una cocina fría y el rincón de copas con untidiness que estuvimos mirando durante toda la cena. Podía aceptar que los platos no eran nada memorable, pero me hizo sentir extraño cuando recibimos un plato de entrada de langosta con 4 pequeñas rodajas delgadas de langosta. Y media codorniz de la parrilla. Ambos son de excelente calidad, pero no se puede presentar media codorniz tumbada en el plato principal...

What a great place! Delicious food, cozy vibe, friendly staff

You know it’s good when you always come back for 1 specific dish: squid w/ cabbage and gochujang. The rest was also delicious. Really relaxed vibe and very friendly staff.

Aquí el concepto es una forma moderna de cocina abierta, muy buenos platos compuestos, gran hospitalidad y una sorprendente cantidad de muy buenos vinos por copa para que pueda crear su propio maridaje de vinos - que fue excepcional! Gracias

Food was fine, unbalanced all evening. Service was not at the level you expect when you spend €500 with two people.

Heerlijk gegeten, aan de keuken gezeten en daar goed bediend door zowel de koks als door het service team. Wij hebben van mooie wijnen en heerlijke gerechten genoten.

Heerlijk gegeten, vriendelijke bediening leuke setting en gezellige sfeer. Genoten van het 6 gangen diner en dingen geproefd die ik niet kende. Helemaal een aanrader. Kom hier graag nog eens terug.

Wils was fantastic! A great group of young international chefs putting on a masterful showing of culinary skill. Service was attentive and warm, food options were generous and the wine options were plentiful. Seating at the chefs table was entertaining and highly recommended! Watching them grill and prep all the dishes was a fun experience. We opted for a la carte as opposed to the tasting menu and it was great! We had a great Cab Sav, sweetbread dish, fantastic steak and really good pork dish with a chimichurri sauce! Overall, really good experience and highly recommended to anyone in Amsterdam.

What a nice place, concept, team and wow we had a fantastic meal here!

Great cuisine, excellent staff, one of my most special culinary experiences

Unfortunately, our visit to Wils did not meet our expectations. Although the food was of good quality, the experience was overshadowed by the mediocre service. Upon arrival we were placed at a table right next to the dishwasher for the glasses. This device ran almost continuously and was regularly loaded and unloaded, which was very disruptive. In addition, after taking a seat we were completely ignored for more than 20 minutes and eventually had to ask for attention ourselves. We had opted for a wine pairing, but the coordination between the kitchen and the service left much to be desired. Dishes were sometimes served too quickly, meaning our glass from the previous course was still half full. In other cases we were first served a dish and then had to wait 10 minutes for the matching wine. After dessert we ordered coffee and tea, but after waiting 30 minutes our order turned out to have simply been forgotten. Finally, the bill was incorrect, which ended the evening on a negative note. For the price Wils charges, there are more than enough restaurants in Amsterdam where the food is just as good and the service is up to standard.

What a great evening with delicious dishes and matching wines, great!

Nice food as usual but we had 2 mistakes with our final bill, first - ordered half wine arrangement and was charged full, secondly - our deposit payment wasn’t deducted from the final bill, had to ask them to correct these.

Fantastic spot in the Stadionsplein. Excellent assortment of meat cuts and garnishes, served with very friendly advice from its staff. We had the Baambrugs Big, perfectly cooked and seasoned, the Simmentaler ribeye, the quail and a new interpretation of French Toast, very similar to a crema catalana. Definitely recommended.

We had our company Christmas dinner here and it was superb. I felt the food was slightly lacking in portion size, but the wine was the best part of the experience, absolutely spectacular wine pairings and knowledgeable servers as well.

Beautiful star restaurant 2.0 casual atmosphere, delicious dishes and top service. Thanks for a pleasant evening.

I ate an incredibly delicious veal cheek! Recommended.

Despite excellent dishes, I would not return here in a hurry. The welcome was very warm and the service from most colleagues during the evening was excellent. However, there were also a number of big (or actually small) disappointments. 1) The dishes were very small (amuse size). 2) The wines were served in an unprecedentedly sparse manner, especially by the non-Dutch speaking 'sommelier'. After commenting, it turned out that this was due to our eyes and not the quantity. By the way, the wines were excellently chosen, all the more disappointing that you only got two sips. So better order a bottle and not glasses if you want to dine here. 3) I don't think the lack of appetizers is appropriate for such a restaurant. According to the restaurant, this is a conscious choice that fits 'their concept'. 4) Communication about the prices (which were much higher than on the website) was poor. In short, far too expensive for too little 'experience'. Especially for a restaurant with a star.

Nice large place where you can view the open fire from your table. We were well received with a small snack (Brussels sprouts with hazelnut) and a home-made mango kombucha. And to start we had an oyster and a glass of champagne. Oyster came with red wine vinegar with shallot and a smoked lemon sauce and went well with the champagne. But don't expect appetizers or appetizers, because you won't get them here. Our dinner started with various preparations of radicchio. Followed by the oyster and then as an extra course we got the sepia. All three dishes were well prepared and highly flavoured. The sauces for all courses were fantastic! Rich in taste, the right acid, salt and taste, really very tasty. The potato in the next dish was a surprise. Good flavors and quite large in size. The truffle was a good addition. The head just wasn't entirely to my taste. The fermented berries made the dish way too sour and in combination with the red cabbage the dish got a very earthy taste. Not my thing. Fortunately, the dessert of bread and brulée and cinnamon was delicious! All in all we had a wonderful evening and I will definitely come back!

I have a bit of mixed feelings about our dinner yesterday. The food was delicious. Not exceptional, but very original and good. As always small dishes, but not completely satisfied after 6 courses and a cheese board. Service was fine. Very nice to see everyone working in the open kitchen. The ingredients are often local and sustainable. What was surprising in a negative sense were the prices of the menu and wines. Of course we know that you pay for high quality at these types of restaurants, but we made a reservation based on the prices that were and still are on the website. Only in the restaurant did it become apparent that the prices of a menu and wines were significantly higher. We were not informed of a changed menu and associated prices. That gives a bit of a bitter aftertaste to an otherwise pleasant and delicious evening.

Restaurante de primera clase! Todo lo que se piensa que es excelente, delicioso y no convencional! Tuvimos un invitado que no come alimentos crudos o extraños y los platos sustitutivos eran increíbles y absolutamente abrumador en comparación con el menú regular que era excepcional y excelente!

Great service and excellent food.

One of the owners was present as well that evening. He constantly licked his fingers or spoon after preparing dishes and then prepared other dishes/used the spoon for other dishes. That happened throughout the evening about 20 times and that is a no-go especially in an open kitchen environment. The food was good as well as the service and the overall experience, however, the chef's behavior was disgusting.

Nos alojamos en Amsterdam durante una semana y esta fue, por mucho, la mejor comida que tuvimos. El nivel de servicio era tan bueno. Disfrutamos del menú degustación con el maridaje de vinos, cada plato era perfecto. Fue tan bueno ver a los chicos cocinando a fuego frente a ti, realmente especial. No puedo esperar a volver de nuevo

Shame on you chef. Food loving people, don't bother taking the elevator up if you like excellent food, true hospitality and a cozy atmosphere. You will not find it on the third floor. We had a truly disappointing experience and will not recommend going here. Sadly the loveless mediocre performance also reflects badly on the perfectly fine bakery on the ground floor.

What a complete experience. Food, ambiance, service and certainly the non-alcoholic drinks (soft-paring) perfectly match the dishes. Highly recommended

Very nice restaurant. Fine tasting food, well balanced, haute cuisine and very small portions.

Not convinced at the end of the evening. I kind of had that feeling when I ate here 2 weeks ago. Received in a friendly and original way. Restaurant is very stylish. A lot of attention has also been paid to non-alcoholic pairing. But what was it about… the service was the final conclusion. Many different people at the table, little interaction and enthusiasm. Very businesslike, monotonous explanation of the dishes, sandwich at a strange time and just not the social interaction that I expect and am used to at a 🌟 restaurant.

Wils offers a fantastic dining experience with delicious food, featuring interesting and often smoky flavors—perhaps a signature touch? The space is stunning, with warm wooden materials creating a cozy vibe, and the open kitchen adds a unique, immersive element. The staff are attentive and friendly, and the chefs personally serve each dish with detailed descriptions. We had the 5-course chef’s menu with half wine pairing, and it was excellent. While the portions are small, we left feeling satisfied after a memorable evening. Highly recommend!

Wat een heerlijk restaurant! Een geweldig menu, meer dan goede wijn en softpairing. De bediening zeer attent en een keukenbrigade die geconcentreerd zijn en haar werk doet. Topsfeer! Ster is dikverdiend! Absolute aanrader!

Fantastic restaurant, great menu with super wine and soft pairing. Knowledgeable and friendly staff and a young and very focused kitchen staff. Price/quality ratio is top.

Great night with my family but unfortunately a very bad experience with the staff at the end of the night as we had paid the bill and then they had forgotten to include a bottle of wine and staff came over and pressured us to pay for their mistake and then wanted my daughter to pay even after I offered to go 50/50 on the bottle of wine which he would not except totally unacceptable and ruined our night out with our family staff who make errors have to stand by their errors and not expect or heavy handed pressure rise customers to pay for their mistakes totally unacceptable and I will be looking for their Michelin star to be taken away totally unacceptable and ruining our evening

I don't usually get excited about set menus, but this 5-course experience really stood out. The food was excellent from start to finish - every dish showed real skill and creativity. I'm already planning my next visit to try more of their cooking. What I really liked was the relaxed atmosphere. The open kitchen adds a nice buzz to the place, and it's refreshing not to feel the stuffiness you sometimes get at high-end restaurants. You don't need to whisper or worry about which fork to use - it's all about good food without the fussy extras. The service, though, had some mishaps that stuck with me, especially since the restaurant was only half full, by my estimation. I could see that both the waiters and kitchen team are quite young, and while they're clearly talented and well intended, they still need time to learn how to deliver the polished service you expect at a Michelin-level restaurant. All in all, I am already looking for the next occasion to visit Wils!

Everything was perfect, warm welcome, friendly service, beautiful dishes and wines, beautiful restaurant with a nice atmosphere and an open kitchen, so there is something to look at. Top!

What an unexpected evening! Amazing food, staff is friendly. Would definitely recommend going here.

Restaurant Wils provided an unforgettable first fine dining experience! I was nervous at first, but Rosaria, our waitress, made the entire evening wonderful with her pristine customer service and deep knowledge of drink selections. The five-course meal came with soft pairings, including a unique selection of kombuchas that perfectly complemented the dishes. Each course was absolutely delicious, and the thoughtful pairings elevated the flavors even more. I was so impressed by the entire experience that I can’t wait to return for another round! Highly recommend!
