Seafood Bistro in Burgwallen-Oude Zijde

Wonderful restaurant... everything was delicious

Good product and very well cooked

Went back in November 2025. Absolutely amazing food. I wanted to try out Kibbeling and the one over here is fantastic and fresh. Portion sizes are very generous so keep that in mind when you order. I could not finish because I was so full even though I wanted more 😂. The price was also very reasonable. They accept credit card just in case you were wondering. I used visa.

Special Shoutout to Victoria: A special and well-deserved thanks goes to Victoria for her warm hospitality, professional demeanor, and meticulous attention to detail, making every guest's dining experience truly memorable.

Spicy mussels, mixed grill, salmon salad I tried all three and they were seriously delicious👍🏻 I highly recommend them.

Amazing service. So so kind and helpful. Food was amazing. Husband LOVED the fish and chips and I super loved the pasta and shrimp - omitted the mussels. Great portion. Super nice atmosphere. Could talk and people watch. Thank you so so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!🩷

The fried cod, calamari, and fries are both good. The staff is very friendly. The place is basic but efficient.

The food was awesome and the Victoria service was very very good

I recommend the spicy mussels; dipping the accompanying bread into them is truly excellent. The sauce for the classic mussels is also delicious. The fried squid is great because it is served freshly fried, and it is nice to see the bald chef frowning while cooking after you order. It is much tastier than the restaurants on the main street.

A wonderful, welcoming atmosphere, extremely friendly and cheerful service. True hospitality! We felt incredibly comfortable and thoroughly enjoyed the food – which was absolutely delicious! My wife and I booked a surprise dinner (excluding drinks) through "Too Good To Go" at short notice for the same evening and were completely delighted with both the food and the service. We were each allowed to choose a main course from the menu, with the exception of oysters, shrimp, or mussels. We also received a bowl of fries and a salad. The prepared dishes (salmon and sea bream) were absolutely delicious. The service made us feel welcome and truly appreciated – as did all the other guests who were there during our visit. Highly recommended – especially at the Too Good To Go price. Thank you for a wonderful evening, which will definitely remain a positive memory for a long time and was the highlight of our Amsterdam trip!

The food was amazing, the staff, especially Michele, was fabulous, friendly, and helpful—a real force. The prices were fair for the quality food. Highly recommended!

The food was amazing especially the fried shrimp and tartar sauce! Service was super friendly and accommodating to our requests! Definitely returning soon!

Although it looks like a simple snack bar, it's actually an excellent fish restaurant. The breading on the fish and chips was superb, and the fries were delicious. The sauce on the spicy mussels was very good, with fresh tomatoes and vegetables. Highly recommended. Fresh food, well prepared.

It was tasty, but the food in Japan is cheaper and tastier.

Nice little restaurant that serves a variety of dishes. The staff is nice, kind and joyful. We went twice and the second time they recognized us and offered us some fresh limoncello. Definitely appreciated. Big portions and great quality with prices that are very competitive for the city. Definitely come here.

Small and cozy restaurant with great food. Compliments to Michel, he's running around all night making sure guests are accommodated, all while training a new waitress. I had an amazing time and i honestly cannot remember the last time i was this pleased with the amount of care given by staff from any place i've been. Would recommend and visit again!

Had a grilled salmon and a vanilla milk shake. Salmon was well done. Food delicious. Good service. Cosy place to enjoy your dinner. Recommend all to come here.

A cozy, elegant bistro with fresh fish and shrimp, all presented visibly on ice, where you can watch the chef preparing the food.

A very relaxed little restaurant~ A simple mussel hotpot + a glass of white wine A seafood pasta 🍝 Plus the friendly service, it was a very pleasant experience 😃

Great little seafood bistro in the heart of Amsterdam. The restaurant has a warm, intimate atmosphere that feels welcoming and relaxed. The staff were extremely friendly, helpful, and attentive throughout our meal. Most importantly, the food was excellent—fresh, well prepared, and thoroughly enjoyable. We were also impressed by the prices, which were very fair for the quality of the food and the location. A terrific combination of great seafood, friendly service, reasonable prices, and a cozy atmosphere. Highly recommended!

The food was delicious. I ordered the tuna steak and the fried fish, but I was so hungry that I forgot to take photos. The fish was incredibly fresh and tasted amazing.

Very good. Absolutely a recommendation if you like fish.

The taste, atmosphere, and service—everything is the best. The perfect place to experience a beautiful Amsterdam night!

Great food and even better service. Special thanks to Michael for his incredibly attentive service!

Absolutely loved this place! The food and service were surprisingly quite good! We often feel restaurants in tourist spots are not that great but I do recommend this one!

I had the Belgian mussels that is made with beer. The sauce was bland and many of the mussels were sandy. The waiters were nice but not enough to make up for the disappointing food.

If you’re studying food & bev or hospitality management, come and review this restaurant!!! This is how you do it? Fresh seafood in the counter that you see the chef select and prepare. The oysters are shucked there in front of you - it barely gets fresher. There is ONE chef preparing food for maybe 200 passes in a session. Unhurried. Efficient. There’s a limited number of flavor combinations between the entrees and the mains. But it’s all fresh and prepared to order. The plates are cleared by the wait staff - there’s only 2 - and loaded at the return pass - chef loads them in the dish washer right there and unloads them right adjacent to where he’ll use them. I was there during the changeover of the chefs - both male (so use of “he”). Wait staff clear the glasses to the glass washer adjacent to where the clean glasses will be stored and used. Everything is loaded from one side and taken from the other side - stock is turned over naturally. The chef and wait staff managed about 30 covers in my 1.5 hrs here. My espresso martini was premix but good. The wine? Hmmm - pass. My limoncello spritz was made to order and acceptable. Great value for a seafood restaurant serving quality FRESH seafood in an unpretentious environment. Highly recommend. Especially if you want to understand how to make money in hospo / good-n-bev

Great taste great friendly crew!

Perfect! Thank you so much Victoria! She's so welcoming and warm. The host is great too!

Possibly the best mussels I’ve ever had, and the staff were superb! We also had the oysters which were fantastic and we were given the option to try from a range of different types too! Will be returning (hopefully)!

Kibbeling ( battered fried white fish) local staple, was delicious and plenty serving for one, reasonable 8 Euros plus a beer. Great little place, food safe and friendly staff. Order the Kibbeling no extras is enough.

Delicious beyond expectations! The waiters were very friendly.

Friendly people and the food was very delicious. I and my wife were really satisfied. I hope to come again .

What a fantastic experience in the Warmoesstraat. The food was truly delicious and everything was beautifully served at the table. The fried snacks in the basket with the little flags inside were a particularly nice detail. The atmosphere in the restaurant is very pleasant and warm. We thoroughly enjoyed the mussels and the fresh fish. It is highly recommended for anyone who loves good food in a cozy setting.

We had lunch at Seafood Bistro and it was amazing. The seafood was fresh and in big portions. Highly recommend.

Brother Anas, who speaks Arabic and English, welcomed us. We ordered a oyster platter with three different types of oysters, and we also ordered a fish and chips platter, all of which were excellent.

One of my favorite restaurants in Amsterdam! It has become a tradition for me that every time I arrive in the city, this is the very first place I go for my first meal. The food is always delicious, the quality is consistently excellent. Starting my Amsterdam trip here has become part of the experience, and this restaurant never disappoints. Highly recommended!

This place is delicious 🥹❤️🔥 Filling and cozy 🫶 We had the seafood pasta and it was amazing 🤩 The seafood soup deserves special mention❤️

Gotta try the oysters! Whoa! Get yourself a affligem beer it’s amazing. Such a great local delight. Service was great as well. Solid staff. Seafood mmmmh!

We enjoyed Seafood Bistro in Amsterdam so much that we came back a second time during our tripand that's probably the best compliment we can give. The food is made fresh, and if you can, grab a table near the kitchen where you can watch everything being prepared. It really adds to the experience. I also had the opportunity to try three oysters from different regions, and each one was fresh and delicious with its own unique flavor. The fish and chips were outstanding. The cod was a large, thick piece, perfectly cooked, and easily one of the best meals we had while visiting Amsterdam. The restaurant itself was very clean, and the service was friendly and attentive throughout both visits. My only criticism would be the tomato soup. It wasn't bad by any means, but it was fairly plain as served. I ended up adding salt, pepper, and hot sauce to give it a little more flavor. With just a bit more seasoning, it could be just as memorable as the rest of the menu. Overall, Seafood Bistro was one of our favorite restaurants in Amsterdam. Fresh seafood, generous portions, a clean atmosphere, and great service made it an easy choice to visit twice. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone looking for quality seafood while in the city.

We ordered fish soup twice and fish and chips for the kids. The soup was very fresh and filling. The breaded fish was also very good. The service was super friendly.

We had the salmon steak, salmon pasta in a creamy sauce, and the shrimp — everything was absolutely delicious! The shrimp were incredibly tasty, and the tartar sauce was simply amazing. The salmon steak was cooked to perfection, so tender it literally melted in the mouth. It was served with two sauces; one of them was quite spicy but had a unique and delicious flavor. The creamy salmon pasta was rich, very delicate, and incredibly satisfying. You can really tell that the ingredients are fresh and the dishes are prepared with care. The service was friendly, and the atmosphere was cozy. We will definitely come back. Highly recommend this place to anyone who loves seafood!

I stopped eating oysters after getting upset stomachs a few times in Korea. However, while traveling in Europe, I wanted to give oysters a try, so I searched for this restaurant and found it. The raw oysters here were incredibly sweet, and I could really taste the fresh flavor of the sea. Since it had been a long time since I last tried them, I only ate three, but they completely washed away my long-held prejudice against oysters. The server and chef were also incredibly kind, constantly asking how the food was. Since this is one of the top tourist destinations in Europe, I didn't have high expectations for the food or service, but everything was truly wonderful. If you want to eat fresh seafood while visiting Amsterdam, this is definitely the place to go. I highly recommend it!

I had a very disappointing experience at this restaurant. After eating here, I got severe food poisoning and vomited four times afterward. It completely ruined my day. The calamari was also very disappointing, it was frozen and has no flavor. What concerned me even more was seeing fish being kept outside instead of being stored properly, which made me question the restaurant's food safety practices. Overall, between the poor food quality, concerns about food handling, and the unpleasant service, I would not recommend dining here

Good quality food, big portions& awesome staff, kind and sweet.

Awesome late lunch on our first day in Amsterdam! Mussels, beer, Greek salad.

Cute place with a lovely ambiance!

Five stars! Some of the best, freshest seafood I’ve had in a long time. Great service, wonderful flavors, and a great atmosphere. Highly recommend!

Excellent place, fresh, delicious, and very well served.

I had a bad experience – mussels with a huge amount of pepper. It was very loud, crowded, the staff didn't seem to care about us, and the atmosphere was average.

The vibe is cozy and it feels really open even though it's a small space. The food was flavourful and the sauce that they cook in with the "Small pot of Mussels" appetizer is truly immaculate. Furthermore it isn't too costly at all, if you know how to eat at a restaurant like a pro or if you are a solo diner like I was, then this place will not hurt the bank. If it does it means you must agree it was worth it.

Solid, small place. My started (mixed grill) was all in tempura - wasn’t expecting this but it was well prepared - fresh and crispy. Fish soup was 5* - recommended. The Mussels were unfortunately too peppery. Still, very good place, but reserving 5* for others, that did even better.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you're looking for great mussels in Amsterdam, this is the place. 🦪👌 The Classic Mussels were incredibly fresh, perfectly cooked, and full of flavour. The creamy herb sauce was absolutely delicious and paired perfectly with the mussels. Every bite was a pleasure. 😋 Friendly service, excellent quality, and great value. I'd happily order them again! 👏🍽️

Got into the place by chance. Were delightfully surprised to find good food and excellent service. Thank you, guys 💞

It's very good. The stuff is friendly, and the food is delicious

Really comfortable and really delicious Highly recommend. All of the dishes are fresh and are really tasty.

I absolutely do not recommend this restaurant. First, I ordered salmon with rice. But I was served fries instead, so I told the waitress I wanted rice. She took the fries back, but the rice never arrived because the chef hadn't prepared it. I had already finished my salmon before I received anything, so I decided to cancel the rice order rather than wait another 20 minutes after we had finished eating. Second, the salmon I was served wasn't cooked properly and therefore wasn't good. A really bad experience; I don't recommend it.

The best meal in Amsterdam! The seafood was incredibly fresh and cooked perfectly! Asian palates will love it, haha. The owner was really nice.

Extremely good place! Food is delicious and service is exceptional.

Our service was exceptional and the food was delicious. Highly recommend visiting in the evening.

We had a great experience at the bistrot. The portions are generous and the service was excellent. We loved Michaelis humour and generosity!

We found this small place but that’s the beauty. The seafood is fresh, the servers are kind. We ate here yesterday and decided to come back the next day for lunch. Worth every dollar. First time we splurged got oysters and drinks and appetizers and this time we kept it more simple.

If you’re in Amsterdam, you absolutely have to visit this seafood bistro! It serves some of the freshest and most delicious seafood we’ve ever had. Everything was incredibly fresh, perfectly cooked, and absolutely delicious. The place was spotless, with a cozy atmosphere. A special thank you to the staff—the service was 10/10! And the food? Easily 100/10. Highly recommend this place to everyone. We’ll definitely be coming back!

We have a nice meal before we return to Hong Kong, all seafood are fresh, delicious and especially thanks to the service from Mr. Michelle for helping us to take away the bone of the fish. Highly recommended and near the central station, google map works and bring us to the place easily.

Open kitchen and an inviting fish counter. The food is really good, good value.

The waiter is so rude and impolite to us The food is honestly average

Very nice meal here. The dishes are huge and it all taste delicious. I personally recommend the alfredo seafood pasta!

Good food and very nice service! Local fried cod. Leveling I believe it’s called was delicious and very reasonable. Had raw oysters. Pretty good. Seafood Alfredo pasta had plenty of clams and shrimp. Not authentic Italian pasta but Fresh and good. Wouldn’t recommend cocktails. Cosmo was the worst I’ve ever had. Not a legit cosmopolitan. Served with ice and no hint of citrus. I’m sure wine would be good.

All dishes are made with special signature

Service, food, and atmosphere are really great! 🐟🇳🇱😎👍

Freshly made food, tasty huge portion of fish and chips. Good prices. As for a tourist location this place is really good!

Food served in quite generous portion, nice presentation, yet flavor is not 100% delicious, also not that bad. The waiter staff were very friendly. Only the starter with breads should be served in advance while waiting for main dishes to be served. We waited a bit long till they put everything on table at the same time.

The food, the service, the atmosphere were all amazing! Victoria is a sweetheart! The chefs are top notch! You must try this place!!!

I would like to express my sincere thanks to the lady who served us. The service was outstanding, and everything was excellent. The food was fresh and absolutely delicious.

Definitely internet hype. I ordered a mixed fried platter; the calamari was tough and tasteless, like rubber, I can make much better at home. The shrimp was like straw. Only the fish wasn't bad. I also ordered grilled shrimp hoping for some flavor, but that was like straw too. It wasn't even grilled, it was cooked in sauce on a plate. The shrimp were definitely frozen; even fresh shrimp would have minimal flavor if you just dipped them in boiling water. The sauces and mayonnaise were good though.

Very nice food and lovely atmosphere, too friendly specially Mr Michele

The fish, prawns, oysters are all super fresh and tasty. Awesome service as well!

Конечно! Вот естественный отзыв, который отлично подойдет для Google Maps: We had a wonderful experience at Seafood Bistro in Amsterdam! We ordered the seafood pasta and a bottle of wine, and everything was absolutely delicious. The seafood was fresh, the pasta was perfectly cooked, and the wine paired beautifully with the meal. Our total bill for two people was around €95, which we found to be very reasonable considering the quality of the food and service. The restaurant also has a comfortable air-conditioned dining area, which made our visit even more enjoyable on a warm day. A special thank you to our waitress, Victoria from Odesa, who was incredibly friendly, attentive, and welcoming. She made us feel at home and provided excellent service throughout our dinner. We left very happy and would definitely recommend Seafood Bistro to anyone visiting Amsterdam. We will gladly come back!

We had an amazing experience here! The food was absolutely delicious—everything was fresh, full of flavor, and beautifully presented. You can really tell that the kitchen puts a lot of care into every dish. A special thank you to our waitress, Victoria. It was such a pleasant surprise to find out that she is from Ukraine as well. She was incredibly friendly, attentive, and welcoming, making us feel comfortable from the moment we arrived. Her excellent service and positive attitude made our evening even more enjoyable. Highly recommend this place for both the fantastic food and the outstanding service. We will definitely be back! Thanks from Alex and Kate 👍🏼

It's a gem! Be sure to make a reservation or you may not get a table. We got lucky on Monday night. Highly recommend.

I have pasta with sea food, it nice and delicious. Staff are friendly.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review After spending a week in the Amsterdam area, Seafood Bistro was by far the best restaurant we ate at. The food was absolutely perfect, the service was top-notch, and the owner was incredibly friendly and welcoming. Every part of our experience exceeded expectations. If you’re visiting Amsterdam and looking for a fantastic meal, Seafood Bistro is a must-visit. We would definitely return and highly recommend it to anyone looking for outstanding food and hospitality. 🦐🐟🇳🇱❤️

Very fresh fish, friendly staff! Pretty typical prices for the area.

We ate the best fish and chips, and the fried shrimp was so delicious that we ordered it twice!

Hands down the best mussels I have ever had. Cooked to perfection in a perfect, flavorful broth. Fish nuggets were also a wonderful starter. Kind service. It’s a small place, but we had no issue getting a table at about 5:30 on a weekday. Highly recommend this place!

We had an excellent dining experience at Seafood Bistro. The restaurant is stylish, conveniently located near Amsterdam Central Station, and reservations are highly recommended as it can get quite busy. We enjoyed a feast of seafood, including a pot of mussels, octopus, jumbo prawns, scallops, oysters, salmon, and a fresh salad, accompanied by a bottle of cava. Everything was fresh, beautifully prepared, and full of flavor. The quality of the seafood was outstanding, and every dish was cooked perfectly. The total bill was around €150, which we felt was very reasonable considering the quality, variety, and overall experience. A fantastic choice for seafood lovers visiting Amsterdam.

We fancied kibbeling as an appetizer. The portion was very large, the fish super fresh and very thinly breaded.

Great quality food. Fast service and friendly stuff. Highly recommended! It was so good food that we came for lunch next day. Fish soup was the best travel ever eaten. And grilled fish was delicious.

The classic mussels were absolutely delicious! They were fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The broth had such a rich, savory taste and paired so well with the mussels. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, making the whole experience even better. Definitely a great spot for seafood lovers, and I would happily come back again.

Very friendly service. I had the three mixed oysters, which were very small for €15. Afterwards, I had fish and chips. The fries were very good, hot, and fresh, and the fish was good, but there were far too many fries and only a small piece of fish in comparison. Unfortunately.

Food was absolutely fabulous! Shared the tomato soup, kibbeling and small mussel pot as an appetizer, fish and chips for the main. Everything was fresh and flavourful. Light and crispy breading. The service was outstanding! Our server made us feel at home with engaging conversation. Would definitely visit again! If you like seafood, don’t miss this place!

the food was amazing mouth watering

The food is very tasty and the Ukrainian girls work there, I recommend it to everyone)

The food and service was wonderful . I ordered the fish soup and all I can say it was very tasty. Liked the cozy ambience.

We ate here twice! Pastas and fish soups were great. Worth to try. The services were absolutely amazing and she was really friendly and hardworking lady. Definitely recommended to others to come and try their food and services.

Small restaurant with small tables for two people; service was good, but rather reserved and reactive. The food was good (fish platter and tuna steak), but the price/performance ratio wasn't quite right, rather too expensive…

Delicious oysters, delicious shrimp, potatoes. Delicious food, good service, friendly waiter. Definitely recommended

The whole experience was amazing. We did not know what to expect but we were completely blown away🥳 Portions are large and the food was delicious and outstanding. We are coming back for the dinner the same day. The sweet spot of our visit was the stuff. Let me just say to them directly: Never change. Thank you for a lovely meal and drinks.

A very good fish and seafood restaurant. The food is substantial and tasty. One of the few restaurants of this type in the city center.

Great guys, thanks, the oysters are fresh.
