Villa Maria Steakhouse in De Weteringschans

Excellent steakhouse. The tenderloin was melt in your mouth soft. The grilled salmon was beautifully cooked and sides were on point. Highly recommended!

We booked a table for 7:30 PM, waited half an hour to take our drink order, an hour later the waiter came and took our food order, we've been waiting for over two hours for our order, they pretend they don't notice us! The service is terrible!!!

Cozy location with very good Argentinian meat.

Perfect steaks. Great service. Highly recommend this place

Delicious steak with tremendous flavor! Would highly recommend!

Very tasty food, very tender meat. Super friendly and hospitable staff. Absolutely great

Ricardo's service was good. Food was very tasty

I had a steak with fries and pepper sauce, an aperol spritz and a cappuccino All cooked, prepared and served with perfection

A tasty, good steak and very nice service and attention from Ricardo

Overall current rating around 4.5 is outrageous, unless something really got very bad lately. Visit on May 3rd 2025 with a reservation: disappointing starters, especially when considering price. Some came out of microwave, you could tell from the looks of the empanadas. Meat was served at a slightly low temperature, taste was above average, but hey, if you have tried real good argentinian, Villa Maria was not even close. Secondary perhaps, but indicative of the type of restaurant this is, main courses were served on plastic plates. Come on guys… Draft beer we got had a bitter taste and poor smell, as if barrel was never cleaned or refreshed somehow. Prices ok, but still not really value for money. Environment was acceptable, nothing bad, but nothing great either. Service was pretty good, fast and communicative, no complaints there. I could give a 3/5 overall, but the current 4.5/5 is extreme and leads me to point out some things and reduce my rating to 2/5 overall.

Absolutely superb. No complaints from me.

When I sat down, someone came and told me that I had to order a drink before starting. I said I didn’t want to drink, I just wanted to eat more meat. He insisted, saying, ‘This is a restaurant, so you have to order at least a drink, even just water.’ Because of this attitude, I decided to leave.

Very good service, perfect food, tender meat, congratulations

Tasty food, slightly fair portions, picturesque place

Spectacular meat. The staff is very friendly and kind

The restaurant is perfect and the service too, Ricardo and his colleagues were great and super attentive

super delicious food! deliciously tender Argentinian steak and top spareribs!!! cozy and friendly service!!!

War sehr gut und schnell. Sehr zu empfehlen und zum weitersagen. Ich würde nochmal herkommen. Die Kellnern waren sehr gut und nett.

Highly recommended!! Excellent meat and very friendly service.

The food was very tasty and the servers and the servis was very nice and very good. The Atmosphere in the Restaurant was very comftortable

The best steak place in Europe? Luckily, we came across this by chance...we ate here twice on a three-dinner trip. The food and service are the best :) I'm a huge steak eater and I can wholeheartedly recommend this place :) The sizes of the steaks are 200 - 500 g and you can get them from different parts of the beef. "Trumpsteak" is my favorite, medium and with pepper sauce and Argentinian Malbec wine :)

Nice restaurant with a good location, and the food was simply top!

Ein wirklich gelungenes Dinner. Wir hatten Rib-Eye-Steaks. Alle 3 perfekt auf den Punkt. Innen perfekt außen tolle Kruste und Röstaromen. Der Service war sehr zuvorkommend. Von uns 5 Sterne für den schönen Abend und für die Kunst, sehr gutes Fleisch sehr gut zuzubereiten.

Good food, nice place. It was empty when we reached. The meat was good yet the plate seems plain.

Fantastic food, lovely atmosphere! Staff were very friendly. There are lots of options of the menu, with chicken and pork as well as beef.

Had a canal cruise early afternoon so we stopped in here for a quick lunch. Overall was a satisfying meal and reasonably priced. The onion soup was not what I expected (it was almost like a bowl of gravy?), but the meat was good. The ‘garlic sauce’ was basically peppercorn ranch.

Trust the comments but it is definitely not worth it. They left us the cards on the table, dry, hard and flavorless meat. High expectations but we left disappointed. Additionally, being a group, we tried the beef fajitas (still dry), salad and ribs/chicken (regular), and good drinks.

We were very pleased. The meat was very delicious. Our daughter loved the vegetable soup. We recommend it.

meat was juicy and cooked like we wanted prices were nice

Top food, I recommend the ribs!!

It was great! Easy and chill vibes for dinner! Good for big groups!

I recently had an amazing experience at Villa Maria Steakhouse. Their Argentinian steak was cooked to perfection—tender, flavorful, and served just the way I like it. The selection of wines perfectly complemented the meal, and the overall ambiance of the place made for a relaxing and enjoyable evening. The service was top-notch too, with friendly and attentive staff who made me feel right at home. I highly recommend Villa Maria Steakhouse for anyone looking to enjoy a great steak, excellent wines, and a welcoming atmosphere.

Foods are amazing. I really enjoyed.

Good steakhouse, friendly service and food tastes as expected. Definitely come back here.

It was amazing and the steak was delicious. I will definitely go back again.

Excellent cuts of meat, paired with nice appetizers! We would also like to thank the guys working in this restaurant for storing and help us find one of our company's lost mobile phones!

We visited this restaurant on Valentine's Day, and it was truly the best dining experience we've had in Amsterdam so far. The staff was incredibly professional, warmly welcoming us and ensuring we had everything we needed throughout our meal. Ricardo is an exceptional host, making our evening even more special. The meat was outstanding, high-quality and absolutely delicious. We will definitely be coming back. Highly recommended!

This restaurant is fabulous! Great service, amazing food!! Thank you :) xx

The food was GREAT!!!!!! 🤤 The meat was like butter melting in your mouth! The service from Ricardo, the owner, and Bassem was excellent!!!! I highly recommend it 😍 good atmosphere, good music, attentive and friendly service. Thank you!!! 😊

The food was amazing and fast, and the waiter was really nice. Top class food quality

Riccardo was amazing really recommend xx

Super delicious! Great service! Totally friendly and attentive! Food was very nicely prepared. Every wish was catered for ❤️ great cook!!! I can recommend it to everyone!!

We had a very good experience: high meat quality, amazing atmosphare and very good service. Really raccomanded, is perfect for a date.

The best Argentine meat experience in Amsterdam... Beautiful attention from all the staff and especially Ricardo!! Without a doubt we will return!! Thank you!!

Fantastisch vlees, 6 vrienden die iets anders besteld hadden of de ene well done en de andere rare kregen precies wat ze besteld hadden. Voorgerechten en desserts goed, beperkte wijnkeuze voor goede wijn tegen een goede prijs.

Friendly staff, great experience. Good to be back again, guys!

Gezellige restaurant met Argentijnse sferen, snelle service en het eten was top. Al met al een top restaurant. Echt een aanrader!!

Great food, served with pleasure, great atmosphere, served with a smile, highly recommended

Excellent steak and wonderful service, would recommend to anyone! The steak was tender and delicious, generous servings

Hele goede prijs-kwaliteitverhouding. Erg vriendelijk personeel. Zou iedereen aanraden om hier een hapje te komen eten.

Little gem, food delicious, service quick, pleasant waiters

The taste of the food was excellent, however, the quantity was too small for my taste, I don't know how the promotional photos compare at all with what they deliver

Possibly the best steak I've ever eaten. Food here is amazing and the staff were friendly.

Very good service and first-class food in a fine atmosphere

It’s amazing place with very delicious food, the workers are so professional and so friendly 👍😍

The food and the atmosphere are amazing 🤩 The Hosts are so professional and so friendly 😍 Thank you for all and for everything ☺️

Very slow, had to wait 40' to get my dish. I order bife de Chorizo but i received a worse cut. Couit only half of the meat, the rest i could not cut. No drama, but i Will not come again here.

Friendly and hospitable. Delicious chicken fajita is highly recommended

Very nice steak, I had a ribeye. Was beautifully prepared and came with nice accompaniements. The traditional Argentinian sauce wasn't very authentic though, amd i missed the traditional chimichurri sauce, but the served sauce still tasted very good. Overall, very good meats, nice atmosphere, good Colombian(not Argentinian) music, the waiters could smile more🙂. A place and food to repeat!

I enjoyed my Birthday, had a great meal with my family, very nice staff and a nice atmosphere in the restaurant. Can't say anything other than top service, the quality is great! Thanks for everything.

Unfortunately, we went according to the comments and evaluation, and the shock was the bad taste, the price was high, and the waiter was not tactful in giving the visitor options in ordering, and he was not in the mood to serve it based on steak, but 10/1.

We were disappointed in the waiter service and the food in general. The waiter was not friendly, even though this is an Argentinean restaurant, no one speaks Spanish. Wouldn't come back here.

Last minute meal on new years night for the anniversary. Absolutely amazing. Had the 300g fillet steak medium rare. Amazing cut of steak, great size and cooked to perfection. Soft, juicy and worth it with exceptional service who don't bother you and pester you meanwhile. Very reasonable bill aswell. Shame I'm leaving or id come back again. Thank you

Unfortunately, we had booked a table in advance (which was confirmed), when we got there, they told us that there was only one free table outside (at 10 degrees). They said that we can even wait until there is a free space, luckily approx. We were seated within 20 minutes. There were no tables for 7 people, and we were not allowed to push 2 adjacent tables together, so 2 people sat separately from the company. After we got the menu, it took ~30 minutes before someone finally looked at us, and after ordering ~30 minutes again before we got our order. I asked for rare steak variations, and one of them turned out to be well done, which I don't think is allowed in a steak house. The food was still delicious but the service would not make me go back again.

We wanted to order drinks again after the big meal. We weren't allowed to do that and had to pay so that other customers could still get in (without a reservation at 9:30 p.m.). The steak wasn't cooked to the right point.

Poor services We sat there for 15 minutes without setting our desk , 5 times ask to take the order still walk away. The waitress just clean up the other table and set tables for other. Ignoring us. Never come again Don't go.

Our family went for dinner at Villa Maria and it was absolutely perfect. My son is Celiac (allergic to gluten / wheat) and he could eat all the meats (steaks ribs sausages) as well as the fries and salad/veg. Obviously he couldn’t eat everything on the menu like the onion rings or tiramisu (ate the banana split) but regardless, the whole meal was fantastic especially for my son!! Definitely a go to place for gluten allergy with something delicious for the rest of the family to eat!!!! Bravo!!!

It's really delicious!! The rib steak is in korean, JMT John Mateng. Perfect server and food. It was so delicious. I will come again when I come to Amsterdam!

This best steak was a man in Amsterdam essen cann. The best steak a person can eat in Amsterdam

I had a fantastic meal here. I chose the chicken and rib combo served with fries. It was all cooked to perfection. I can see why this place has such a great score and it's fully deserved. The staff were really friendly, incredibly attentive and efficient. I had my food around 10 minutes after ordering. I washed it down with a couple of draught Heineken. I would definitely come and eat here again the next time I visit the city. Highly recommend the Villa Maria Steakhouse.

Really great music and delicious food.

What a lovely place, good food, very sweet, friendly people 😃 great evening

The food was excellent, we had a wonderful meal there......

Had a delicious meal and friendly and helpful staff

Very good meal, generous portion. The piri-piri chicken was delicious, special mention also for the ribs. The atmosphere is warm, the staff welcoming. Very good experience.

If you come to a steak house, there should only be one consideration, the steak. We both had perfectly cooked, tender, medium ribeyes. I would definitely recommend here.

Steaks cooked perfectly to our liking..they were delicious 😋 Just on short break from Ireland and went twice to Villa Maria Very friendly and efficient staff well worth tipping on both nights Next time in Amsterdam we will go back Paul & Tina

Super tasty food, service was great, definitely recommended, I will definitely come back again for a delicious meal here!

The rump steak and rib eye were good. The empanadas were amazing. A shame the fries are not homemade. They asked us if we wanted salad which we said yes to thinking that would come on the plate as a side but they brought a salad plate (not appealing) which costed 7.5 euros. That's quite a tourist trap. If I wanted a salad I would have asked for it.

Very tasty, well served and good service

Excellent and efficient service, great people with a good atmosphere. Steak was exceptionally well cooked, the meal as a whole wad extremely enjoyable. 5/5 stars.

Don't bother reading any other review but mine...there's no need. Go here. Just do it. In fact, go out of your way to get here. You don't need to consider other options. THE FOOD IS INCREDIBLE. THE STAFF IS GREAT. IT'S ALL CAPS BECAUSE IM INTERNET SHOUTING THIS AT YOU!!! Have the Tenderloin. Have the Chorizo appetizer. Have anything on the menu because it's all incredible. The texture, the cook on the meat, the flavors and blends in the dishes...it's unreal. Charming and quaint atmosphere, nails the Argentinian steakhouse theme. THE. REAL. DEAL. You're welcome in advance for one of the finest meals of your lives folks.

We deducted one point because the meat was not cooked the way we wanted. Sauce should not normally be charged

Veramente buono! Un ottima scoperta ad Amsterdam.... qualità - prezzo ottima; location veramente accogliente e personale super in gamba pronto a soddisfare ogni vostra esigenza!

Davvero un locale molto carina e accogliente. I ragazzi che ci hanno servito sono molto gentili e disponibili, Abbiamo preso tutte il bife de Chorizo, molto saporito Vasta scelta anche nei dolci e digestivi italiani Grazie ancora per la gentilezza!

It's a beautiful place, the food is delicious and the setting is magnificent. The staff is very courteous and helpful I will return for sure

It was really delicious we ate really well it’s really a great post we’ll be back soon

The steak was great, full of flavour and cooked perfectly on both the outside and inside. Chips were fresh and cooked just right.

Chicken was lovely and fries were just right crispiness and taste

Excellent atmosphere, delicious food

I had the steak skewers with jacked potato and spicy sauce it it was AMAZING! We will definitely come back and I would highly recommend.

The food was really good, I ate the Spareribs Villa Maria, they were delicious, and I would really recommend it.

Excellent restaurant. Excellent meat. Very kind staff

Family, this store is really delicious! It's very juicy and the giving is very practical! The service is also very good! Suitable for Asian stomachs! Worth a try

Amazing steak. Celiac menu: fries and sauces (x2). Really friendly staff.

Celiac friendly Fries and sauces (×3). Amazing tender steak. Friendly and knowledgeable staff

the foods are very delicious!! Very nice experience 🥰

When we enter the environment, they do not sit where we want, They cooked the meat together with the shrimps, the two mixed together, it's disgusting, it's not worth the price!
