Venus & Adonis in Jordaan

Delicious food and super nice service

The food we got was really tasty, we chose the cote de boeuf fo two people at €88, however- the portion size was pitiful. The meat was enough, but the sides were barely enough for one rather than two- since these are the least expensive part of the meal it makes no sense as to why you wouldn’t provide enough to fulfil two people. The meat was also a little cold, forgivable because it was very tasty. There was a dog in the restaurant which yapped throughout the meal which definitely took away from the overall experience.

The service was incredibly slow. We waited half an hour, even though there were only three tables. The Pinot Noir was fermented, and the steak tartare was bland. The lunch menu was very limited. We were very disappointed.

Wonderful dinner and atmosphere! Everything was very testy, Joyce and her colleague had been super nice also in advising us :) we will definitely come back soon!

Great staff with a great selection of wines. Highly recommend for a calm evening in a great atmosphere.

We stumbled on this restaurant for dinner and got a table for 2 without a reservation. It was delicious and the environment was amazing! We walked in around 6:15 and it was empty, but by the time we left, it had filled up quite a bit. We ordered the pork belly, fries, and the bouillabaisse.

Lovely atmosphere, staff and food.

Very slow service despite there only being 2 other customers for Saturday lunch. Took 15 mins to take a drink order. Lunch menu very limited and food was poor.

Stumbled upon Venus & Adonis and loved it — cozy spot with tasty French bites and excellent wines by the glass. Warm atmosphere, friendly service, and perfect for a spontaneous lunch, near the crowds, but you couldn’t feel it at all ! Little oasis!

wow, we had great service from our kind waiter Larry - delicious food as well, we had a fantastic time!

Had a great meal here on Tuesday. Excellent food quality. Staff was there when we needed and left us to eat our meal. Highly recommend.

After visiting the museum, I recommend you to have a hot borscht soup in a warm environment, the prices are normal and the food is delicious 😋

A casual spot where you can find simple but relatively well-prepared dishes. For those with a small appetite.

Good service with some very good food. The bouillabaisse was a miss for us - parts were undercooked, bone in the fish, flavor so-so. But the mussels were very good.

Delightful Monday night meal. Highlights include the lone person manning the restaurant who tended to all tables with a great attitude and full confidence in the menu and wine list. From the small plates to seafood entrees nothing disappointed. We will definitely return on our next stay at the Pulitzer.

What a fantastic restaurant. Has a really great atmosphere and must be amazing on a cold winters night. The food was lovely, we had the Chateaubriand, which was cooked to perfection, as we're the fries and lettuce. The wine was really nice and the service was wonderful. We had a really great evening and id recommend the restaurant to anyone visiting Amsterdam

The menu seems to have thinned out a bit, at least this time there's no separation between "Venus" and "Adonis." Nevertheless, the offerings are extremely delicious and highly recommended.

Expensive although the food was good. We just wanted to nibble but we’re made to feel uncomfortable

I dined at your place tonight with American business partners. Apologies for the audible enthusiasm from us. It was delicious, both the ambiance and the food. Beautiful restaurant, good food, excellent service. Unfortunately, the pork belly I had was a bit disappointing, but the side dishes—eggplant, among other things—were very tasty and good. I give the pork belly a 6, everything around it an 8, the steak my table companions shared and which I tasted an 8.5, and the fries and the waiter with the curly hair a 9.5. (You know who you are.) As soon as I'm rich, or when I'm treated again, I'll definitely be back.

Atmosphere an interior was nice. The rest, unfortunately, was not good at all. We were waiting for the food for more than an hour. When we finally got "pork belly" it appears to be pure fat, literally. I understand that pork belly could go with far for jusiness, but this one almost didn't have meat, only fat with no side dish. Steak was mediocre. It is defenetly not worth the price

I had a dinner tonight at Venus & Adonis restaurant in the area of the 9 streets in Amsterdam. I had to compromise and seat downstaris as even though I booked a table the guy who welcomed me said that the main (street level) area is booked. I was the 1st guest that was seated downstairs and was served by a lady. The only one in the shift with the other waiter I've mentionef. She asked if I want water and I said I want simple tap water. It took about 20-30 min to get my starter which was Salsify with smoked almonds - you get exactly 3 roots of vegetale (12€), my main course arrived 30 min later and was Redfish with mousseline, leek bisque (28€). The fish wasn't seassoned at all and was tasteless, and there wasn't any salt & pepper mills on my table. As the lady waiter went off to serve other tables in the main upstsires area, and I want to eat my dish as it was getting cold, I went to the next empty table, took the peper mill but it was emty, I had no choice and asked 2 ladies that were sitting next to my table if I can take their salt & pepper mills which were empty too. The lady waiter came back to my table and I told her that I nead seasoning. She took the empty pepper mill and served other tables instead of taking care about me. It took her a good few minutes later to bring a pepper & salt mill but my dish was already cold. When I finished I asked for the bill and it took good few minutes again to get it. To my surprise they charged me 3 € for "watter service"and when I asked why (as I asked for tap water and she didn't mention they will charge me) she answered we charge for "filltered water"... My overall experiense wasn't good at all. I would not go back or recommand this restaurant at all. Service was slow, not attentive, and overall you don't get value for your money.

Good food but very expensive especially the steak how much you got, service was inattentive

Great spot - excellent food wine and service. Go for table in the window

A fantastic restaurant, right in the heart of the Jordaan district. We got off to a great start; when we asked for wine recommendations, we were given a really good service. The result: a delicious Tempranillo. The starters arrived quickly and looked as delicious as they tasted. The chef made a quick stop by our table, and we were even able to order our main courses from him: pointed cabbage with vadouvan sauce and chicken thigh. The atmosphere is super cozy, warm, and friendly. Highly recommended!

Nice restaurant for a pitstop. Me I had some expensive items. We had chips and mayo plus 2 beers. Cool to sit outside and watch the bikes zoom past .

We enjoyed a fantastic meal here. Great food and sassy (but chatty & friendly) service.

Disappointing quality and quantity of food given the price

Great place with very honest, polite and attentive service with amazing food. Definitely recommend

Good place right in the middle of the city. Service was fantastic.. thought no alternative to cows milk is served with the cappuccino!!

Lovely place, good service and great atmosphere, however the menu is too short, I believe they could put more choices but overall a really nice experience.

Echt een 10!! Als je van lekker eten houd, moet je hier naartoe. De chef maakt alles zelf, onwijs leuke uitleg gekregen over de gerechten en de liefde en passie, proef je terug in de gerechten. Ook de bediening is super, goede adviezen gekregen over de wijnen en een gezellige sfeer. Wij hadden bar bites om te delen als vooraf, als hoofdgerecht de cote de Boeuf en steak tartaar en als dessert de kaas en een kersen taartje. Echt onwijs genoten, de kwaliteit van het eten was super.

We had a wonderful experience here for dinner. We were able to sit outside, which was nice since it was a warm day and it was a bit warm inside. We tried nearly all of the small plates, and every one of them was great. The gougeres, mackerel rillette, and brioche crayfish were standouts. The servers were great - fun and friendly. Overall a great meal and experience!

Overall a good meal, but soured by the fact they clearly have a model to refuse service to customers they don’t think will fit with their look and feel, and also waaaay over charging for water. I wouldn’t go back and would suggest you find somewhere else.

Good restaurant for being in the center! It offers a small menu but the dishes are good. The service is correct and the price too. Pretty good!

Surprisingly excellent food in the middle of a touristy area. Had the whole broiled fish and the terrine.

Recomendado por un amigo que tuvo una gran experiencia allí. El nuestro era mixto. Bonito lugar, el servicio era excelente, pero la Cote du Boeuf estaba bastante mal cocinado, y muy difícil de comer be / c de contenido de grasa (por no hablar de los cuchillos de carne no estaban ni cerca de afilado) .

Had our first dinner in Amsterdam at this lovely restaurant. Simple, unpretentious, delicious food. Service was just right from beginning to end. We made reservations for 6pm and we were able to decide where we wanted to sit. For couples, the corner seating right up front is the perfect balance between indoor-outdoor. It felt far away from all the other diners; love the open window for people watching. 😊

Very nice place. We had to make a reservation. The service was very efficient, fast, and friendly. The food was also very good. They have a small menu, which gives you an idea of how good it is. A great recommendation if you're passing through Amsterdam.

All was fine and the atmosphere at the venue was pleasant, but unfortunately, I experienced a serious issue with the food. I was served clearly undercooked chicken (photo attached). When I politely pointed this out to the staff, they insisted that the pink color was just “juice” and that the chicken was meant to look that way. No action was taken. For reference, properly cooked chicken should be fully opaque and white throughout. Pink or translucent meat, especially near the bone, usually means it hasn’t reached a safe temperature — and that’s not safe for consumption. I hope this important issue is addressed by the kitchen, as food safety should always come first.

Great spot along the canal for a bite. The steak sandwich was so good as was the gnocchi! Friendly staff that made the meal even better!

A beautiful gem in the heart of Amsterdam! We stumbled upon Venus & Adonis Corner by accident, and what a wonderful surprise it was! This bistro is beautifully designed and so stylish—it’s a perfect spot to relax and enjoy the vibrant atmosphere of the city. The food and wine were excellent, the view is stunning, and the service was warm and attentive. We’ll definitely be coming back on purpose next time!

Our must-eat at restaurant every time we are in Amsterdam. The staff were very kind, and the food and drinks were wonderful! I wish the portion sizes were a bit larger for the price, but definitely quality over quantity! Can’t wait to come back again.

Solid unassuming vibe canal side in a little quieter section of Amsterdam. Got a feeling there were a lot of neighborhood customers. The food surprised us in a good way as the menu is off the beaten track for us. But that's why we travel. A good experience, the wine list was excellent the service and attention as well. Dessert was off the hook. We had a great table with a great view. Saw many check the menu out then chicken out - don't be stuck in your comfort zone. It was a good flavorful meal and experience.

La comida era terrible y muy caro para lo que era, el servicio era bastante descuidado. Pedí un plato de repollo a la parrilla - pensé que sería una interesante toma por 26 € - pero no - una minúscula cuña de repollo colocado en una sartén durante unos minutos para que no sea totalmente crujiente. Y luego unas rodajas de repollo crudo con literalmente un anacardo en la parte superior. . ¡Nada de sabor! El filete por 86 € se supone que son 700 gramos pero no te dicen que la mitad del peso es un hueso. Mal cocinado y muy masticable, vino con un pequeño tazón de papas fritas de calidad inferior y mini ensalada verde. El pan era dos rebanadas con una mantequilla de hierbas que sabía asqueroso. Eran 35 C en el restaurante - ¿no fue su culpa que fuera un día caluroso, pero cómo esperaban que la gente se sentara allí y comiera sin aire? Gastamos 150 € para una mala comida en general. ¡Muy decepcionante!

I come to Amsterdam for work often and it's somewhat overwhelming the options for food / drinks. I stumbled upon Venus and Adonis as I was walking back to my hotel and stopped in for a glass of wine. I ended up staying for dinner and it was an incredible experience My server Marije was really awesome, i could have swore she was English but overheard her saying she was born and raised in Amsterdam. She was very accommodating when I asked if they had any gamay by the glass options, and also paired a glass of riesling to the redfish I had. I would absolutely recommend this place. They have indoor and outdoor seating and the vibe is 10/10.

Lugar encantador, gran ambiente, combinación de diseño elegante de moderno y tradicional. Joyce era cálido y acogedor. Tuvimos grandes cócteles y buena comida. Nos topamos con él, pero oh, tan contentos que lo hicimos

Disappointed overall. The service was inattentive and the food didn’t meet expectations. Unfortunately, nothing stood out in a positive way. I won’t be returning.

Very good food, right in the middle of the city. It is a bit on the pricier side, but that’s expected. The service did take a little long. Overall a good experience, the ambiance is amazing and relaxing.

It's listed on Google as a steakhouse. But unfortunately, it isn't. We didn't eat anything and left. The staff apologized for the misunderstanding.

Food was fine, but seems more exclusive on the menu than it was, dishes quite simple. Service good, but clearly put you under pressure in terms of time. And that is also my biggest negative point: because there are 2 bookings per table per evening, at a certain point you are really asked to leave the table. There is definitely no after-dinner chat, at least with early bookings.

We wandered in on a rainy evening and was welcomed by the staff! We were pleasantly surprised by the food and attention to detail. A really lovely restaurant!

nice place, nice place. good service, terrible acoustics. Too bad you don't get bread with a starter (pulpo terrine) for 16 euros. If you ask for a piece, it is on the bill for 6 euros. Also, the liver in the fois gras eclaire was so minimal and whipped up that the taste of white chocolate dominated. Still a tasty dish. With poulet chasseur we expected a tasty stew with lots of tarragon. Not a reheated chicken leg. The cheese puffs should never be off the menu again! Not only because they are delicious but also because they provide a wonderful smell all evening when served to neighbors.

It's a solid place with solid food (nothing exceptional), and for that it is overpriced. I also suffered from 3 young Americans that were sitting on the bar and were very loud. Seems like the staff enjoyed it, as they became vocal with them, This is a place if you are near by but not a destination.

I was at Venus & Adonis a week ago. The restaurant is visually very nice, with a small location on the Prinsengracht. However, when I sat down, I immediately noticed unremoved red wine stains in the shape of round wine glasses on my wooden table. This irritated me a bit, as the restaurant had initially made a serious impression on me. I ordered the Roodbaars with a glass of Sauvignon Blanc. When the lady brought me the wine, the glass wasn't even half full! I found this service extremely embarrassing for the restaurant, as well as truly stingy. This service had nothing to do with class. The main course didn't even have a proper side dish, except for a mini pommes pavé at an inflated price! At least the fish was fresh and well-prepared. Overall, it was quite disappointing. The service wasn't exactly the most attentive and quite arrogant. What also irritated me were the dishes on the menu described in French, which had absolutely nothing to do with French food. It's generally very difficult to find decent food in Amsterdam. I prefer to spend my money in Paris.

Ich war vor einer Woche im Venus & Adonis. Optisch ist das Restaurant sehr schön mit kleiner Location am Prinsengracht. Als ich mich reinsetzte bemerkte ich jedoch direkt nicht entfernte Rotweinflecken in runder Form von Weingläsern auf meinem Holztisch. Das irritierte mich ein wenig, da das Restaurant anfangs auf mich einen seriösen Eindruck gemacht hatte. Ich bestellte den Roodbaars mit einem Glas Sauvignon Blanc. Als mir die Dame den Wein brachte, war das Glas nicht einmal halb gefüllt! Ich fand diesen Service extremst peinlich für das Restaurant als auch wirklich sehr geizig. Mit Klasse hatte dieser Service nichts zutun. Der Hauptgang hatte auch gar keinen richtigen side Dish außer einem mini Pommes Pavé zu einem überhöhten Preis! Wenigstens war der Fisch frisch und gut zubereitet gewesen. Im großen und ganzen ziemlich enttäuschend. Die Bedienung war auch nicht gerade die zuvorkommendste und ziemlich arrogant. Was mich auch irritiert hat, waren französisch beschriebene Gerichte auf der Karte, die mit französischem Essen überhaupt nichts zutun haben. Es ist generell sehr schwierig in Amsterdam vernünftig zu essen. Ich gebe mein Geld lieber in Paris aus.

Delicious classic menu in beautiful surroundings with laid back feel. Service was excellent and pleasant chats with the staff.

Lovely French restaurant with good food, wine and and a great atmosphere

Stopped in for a drink at the bar before dinner elsewhere. Very friendly and welcoming and drinks were great.

My favorite restaurant, the food was delicious as always. Service was a bit sloppy this time, water and wine were forgotten, wrong starter on the table. I'm not used to it, maybe it was because we came to dinner a little later (8:30).

Great young crew, delicious sea bass (25 euros) for the complete fish, tuna starter super tasty,

Beautiful place, well situated and very friendly and caring people. We felt pampered from the beginning till the end. Food was delicious and the smile of the face of the lady-owner add to the excellent experience. Absolutely recommend this place. Thank you 🙏🌷

This is my second time here, and I came back because I really enjoyed the meal I had on my first visit. However, unfortunately, this time the main course was a disappointment. We ordered a 700-gram steak, and first of all, it took a very long time to arrive, around 1 hour. While many people prefer their steak rare or medium, we specifically mentioned that we do not like it that way and requested it to be well-done. However, the steak arrived bloody and practically raw. They reheated it, but it still wasn’t right—it was tough and hard to cut. On the bright side, the oysters and cheese profiteroles were delicious, and the organic wine we tried was excellent. The staff was also very friendly and welcoming. However, paying 85 euros for a steak I couldn’t eat and having to wait so long for it was really disappointing. Unfortunately, for these reasons, I won’t be coming back, nor would I recommend this place.

excellent dinner, eating by the bar area. warm atmosphere. great wine & cocktail selection as well.

Tuvimos el placer de ser servidos por Mady, que hizo nuestra noche extra especial. El menú francés era absolutamente delicioso — cada curso un placer — y el ambiente era simplemente perfecto. Muchas gracias a todo el equipo por la fantástica comida, el ambiente cálido y el servicio de primera categoría. Saludo especial a la encantadora camarera (su nombre también comienza con una M): no solo elabora los mejores cócteles, ¡sino que su sentido del humor es morirse! Hablé con los encantadores chefs: Jurre y Sill: ¡manténganse al día con los fantásticos chicos del trabajo! Sin duda volveremos!

Wonderful food and excellent service. We will be back again soon. Cheers

Cenamos en Venus & Adonis anoche, 3 / 17 / 2025 , y todo fue maravilloso. Desde las ensaladas laterales hasta el apio, pasando por el pollo y el eglefino, y también el par escalfado, todo estaba delicioso. El servicio era perfecto también. El sumiller y el camarero / camarero Tim y Jordi eran encantadores. Me encanta la decoración también. En general, una noche perfecta. Gracias, V & A!

We had dinner at Venus & Adonis last night, 3/17/2025, and everything was wonderful. From side salads to celeriac to chicken and haddock, also the poached pear, everything was delicious. Service was perfect too. The sommelier and the bartender/waiter Tim and Jordi were delightful. Love the decor as well. Overall a perfect evening!

Delicious meal with the family. Everyone was looking at the chef with due pride. He is our son and brother. Nice to see how he works with passion. This review is therefore a bit colored 😉

We hebben heerlijk en gezellig gegeten in dit gezellige restaurant. De bediening was vriendelijk en niet opdringerig. Ik zou hier zo weer gaan eten (als de portemonnee dat toe zou laten).

Very nice sitting at the bar. Hospitable and knowledgeable service and delicious dishes came from the kitchen.

I was so pleasantly surprised by the food and service here - really positive experience!

Love the stuff so sweet and the owner

Amazing place! Highly recommend

Personeel zeer vriendelijk Hertenbiefstuk geen lekker vlees, spruiten te hard, je kon er geen vork inprikken, de kool koud. 160 euro afrekenen is teveel.

Nos alojamos en el Pulitzer Hotel y nos recomendaron este lugar. Quería encantarme y los dos primeros platos fueron buenos, pero la cote de boeuf para dos salió rara. No como raro y mi madre ni siquiera come medio, así que le pedí que se volviera a cocinar, momento en el que la servidora hizo algún comentario sobre cómo todas las piezas ya se han cortado (¿no es posible cocinar cuando las cosas se cortan?). No quería hacer un problema, así que solo pedí unas cuantas piezas para cocinar bien para mi mamá, pero solo lidié con la temperatura rara de mi porción. No me encantó la reacción del servidor a los alimentos que se cocinan de nuevo a una temperatura que es aceptable para el cliente. Debería haber sido más contundente. En resumen, pasé el día siguiente que fue mi ÚLTIMO día en Amsterdam enfermo en la habitación del hotel con un grave ataque de intoxicación alimentaria. Fue una prueba de 10 horas de no dejar de vomitar. No tuve ninguna otra comida ese día dado el desfase horario así que estoy bastante seguro de cuál fue el culpable. Estas cosas suceden desafortunadamente, pero sobre todo, no me encantó la actitud cuando se le preguntó si la carne se podía volver a cocinar. También soy americano y la diferente temperatura de la carne es algo que todos los restaurantes acomodan aquí, así que tal vez una diferencia cultural allí? Lo permitiré, pero perderse un día entero de un itinerario de 3 días fue desafortunado. No puedo recomendar este restaurante de buena fe a nadie dado lo que pasé. De nuevo, realmente quería amarlo. Es un ambiente agradable, y los cangrejos de río en el brioche era genial al igual que el abadejo untado (todos los aperitivos) , pero no creo que pueda estómago carne de res de nuevo por un tiempo.

I’ve been to this restaurant twice now—once with my partner and once with my parents. The food was incredible both times; creative, seasonal, local and flavoursome. The atmosphere is great and the service very good. Wine was also excellent. One of Amsterdam’s best restaurants in my books!

Om drie uur binnenkomen waaien. Of we nog iets kleins konden eten? Nou dat was geen probleem. Naast elkaar aan het raam gaan zitten. Heerlijk warm en leuk mensen kijken. Wel met de rug naar de prachtige zaak(!) , dus af en toe even omdraaien. Gerechtjes brioche, tartaar en de pate de campagne waren erg goed bereid. Zoals je dat in een topzaak in Frankrijk zou mogen verwachten, voor een zeer redelijke prijs. Heerlijke Goutte Blanche op advies bij gedronken. Spot on. Gezellig met de eigenaresse gesproken. Nieuwe kaart was net ingegaan. Top. Nu al fans!!

We recently dined at Venus and Adonis, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish! The atmosphere was inviting, making it the perfect setting for a memorable meal. The food was simply outstanding. Each dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The meat, in particular, was delicious—cooked to perfection and incredibly tender. The attentive staff truly enhanced our experience. They were knowledgeable about the menu and made excellent recommendations. Service was prompt and friendly, ensuring we felt well taken care of throughout our visit. We also enjoyed their impressive cocktail selection and wine card, which offered a variety of options to complement our meal. Each drink we tried was expertly crafted and added to the overall enjoyment of the evening. Overall, Venus and Adonis exceeded our expectations, and we can't wait to return for another delightful dining experience! Highly recommended!

Very tasty food, beautiful atmosphere on the canal and friendly professional service. However, only nice if you sit at the top, as we think. Definitely worth the money.

Even though it was crowded on New Year's Eve, the service was very good. Even though we made a reservation without stating that we had a baby, they took care of us and arranged a nice table for us despite the busy schedule. The staff was friendly and the food was delicious.

Everything was perfect, from the food to the service!!

Richie Penrose tarde. Excelente artista. La comida no estaba a la altura. Hemos visitado este restaurante desde principios de los 80 y nunca hemos tenido una mala comida. El personal es brillante como siempre. El entrante del cóctel de gambas era pequeño con gambas muy pequeñas. El bistec de mi marido era muy picante, al igual que mi cena de pavo. Las patatas asadas eran congeladas. Ambos pensamos que el chef había ido a la ciudad cubriendo nuestra cena con pimienta, fue una pena. El desierto era la mejor parte. No nos quejamos ya que estaba muy ocupado y tarde por desgracia. Podemos intentarlo de nuevo después de Navidad si es lo mismo que probablemente no volveríamos. Nos encanta este lugar fue bastante decepcionante.

Frequento da due anni il ristorante. Bellissimo il locale, personale. qualificato e giusto rapporto qualita' prezzo. Bravi

You can do better; the food was good but not great. Not a whole of flavor, steak cooked incorrectly, leeks had no flavor, wine glass was left empty. With so many other better options nearby, choose something else.

Our first dinner in Europe, on a 5-city tour, and throughout the trip we treasured that first night. It was a simple but sensorially special beginning. Thanks for that magic

We stumbled upon Venus & Adonis while exploring the streets of Amsterdam, and it turned out to be such a gem! We were seated at a cozy spot right by the window, which opened up to the street. It was a perfect spot to watch the world go by, and once we sat down, we didn’t want to leave. We shared a few bottles of Bandol La Chance rosé, which was absolutely delicious, and enjoyed some incredible food. I believe their menu changes seasonally, but we loved the burrata appetizer and the pea soup. For our main course, we both had the filet mignon, and it was cooked to absolute perfection! The service was warm and attentive, making our experience even better. We loved it so much that we came back the very next night! If you’re in Amsterdam, I highly recommend stopping by Venus & Adonis. We can’t wait to return one day!

20 . 05 . Sabía que habíamos tenido un mal comienzo cuando vi nuestra mesa de esquina, los comensales estaban atascados en filas de mesas. Parecía una cantina de obras muy triste. Era la calle Moritz de aquí en adelante, todo colina abajo. 20 . 40 . Fuimos totalmente ignorados durante los primeros 40 minutos, así que fuimos a buscar una camarera. 20 . 42 . Pedimos dos cervezas que olvidó traer. 21 . 00 . Las cervezas llegaron después de la persecución, así que pedimos menús también. 21 . 25 . La camarera trajo el vino que pedimos, así que lo devolvió sintiendo el color equivocado. 21 . 30 Luego vino la sopa de papa y puerro, que se servía fría, así que la devolvimos a la cocina. Mientras tanto, la mujer de la mesa de al lado (50 cm de distancia) devolvía su filete. 21 . 50 Dos de nosotros comimos pollo que era muy sabroso pero bastante seco. A mi amigo le sirvieron un filete cocido que podría herirlo ya que tiene una condición médica y lo había pedido bien hecho. La mayoría de los restaurantes pueden cocinar bien hecho filete! Más cervezas pedidas que nunca llegaron (frustrado me llevé dos del bar). 22 . 10 El filete está de vuelta en el mismo plato, pero bastante gomoso y posiblemente en el microondas. 22 . 45 Nos ofrecieron un postre en la casa. 23 . 00 Tres de nosotros tuvimos el crumble de manzana a un precio de 9 euros y una cuchara de té para comerlo. Otra mala señal. Mi corazón se hundió cuando me di cuenta de que no había desmoronamiento. Solo migas, galletas Amoretti partidas con una cucharada de manzana, trozos de cuerda y crema infundida. 23 . 20 La factura llega 248 euros con 36 euros de postre no cobrado. La camarera tuvo el descaro de preguntar si todo estaba bien. Tan efectivamente lo que podría haber sido un billete de 285 euros para cuatro personas con 5 platos devueltos, el vino equivocado, filete de goma, personal ocupado desinteresado, comida de mala calidad y un servicio increíblemente malo. Teniendo en cuenta las altas calificaciones en Trip Advisor, tal vez el restaurante debería ser renombrado como “The Emperor’s New Clothes”.

Good food, although the service could have been better. We were seated downstairs which was a bummer, ask to be seated in the main floor dining room forsure, much better atmosphere. Took 35 minutes for us to even get something to drink downstairs. Food came out slow too. 3.5/5 experience overall.

Great ribs and apps in Amsterdam after a long day of walking around and exploring!

My husband and I sat in the window of this charming restaurant and enjoyed both the people-watching and the delicious food! The kitchen clearly prepared everything with great care, the service was efficient and helpful, and the cocktails were excellent! I highly recommend this restaurant!

Comida BEM mais ou menos, e MUITO caro para o que oferece, não indico. Tem melhores na cidade. O do Nader por exemplo é bem Melhor

Very bad experience here . A whole sea bass between two was served ( after an hour waiting ) undercooked and raw in the middle . We sent this back and it was returned completely boned and diced - in a heap ! Couldn't believe that they expected us to eat this . The staff had a very poor attitude .We paid for our wine and left - would not recommend.

Excellent food, very friendly service, great cocktails, also outdoor tables with a very nice view

We had a wonderful experience at Venus and Adonis. Joyce, the owner, makes amazing drinks and the food is incredible. We enjoyed the chicken and steak with the carrots on the side. The staff is so kind Mariaj, Sean, Maddie and Larry. The drinks were so good that we went back a second night. The expresso martinis are worth the trip. Staff is amazing and food is very good. The light fixtures are gorgeous.

Had a delicious glass of chardonnay

Came here for dinner and the scallops and steak were delicious. Lovely restaurant in a typically dutch setting (small and cosy). The service was great and the place had a great buzz as it was full to the brim. Will go again for sure.

Acogedor y amable, con un ambiente muy concurrido para este restaurante junto al canal. Me senté en el mostrador del bar entre compromisos, y disfruté de un filete de costillas perfectamente presentado y cocinado, con una porción muy generosa de papas fritas hechas en casa, bañadas con un gran vaso de burdeos. Cosas sencillas hechas excepcionalmente bien.

One of the best restaurants I’ve been to. The two staff who were there last night were absolutely wonderful and so knowledgeable about wine pairings, food choices, the history of the restaurant and where to go for post dinner drinks. Recommend the scallops, BBQ Ribs and fillet steak and goats cheese carrots. Scenic view of canals and good atmosphere. The waiter and bartender really made our experience special and were attentive and friendly. Highly recommended.

The taste of everything except the french fries was average.
