Visaandeschelde in Scheldebuurt

Food was good as you would expect from any fancy restaurant so no specific comment on that. I do want to specifically give a feedback on the amazing service we received throughout the evening. It truly made the difference.

You are heroes Had a delicious meal and the service was excellent. Thank you for the wonderful evening

Trusted and reliable, the quality is always good too. Great.

We came to this place to celebrate a small private important thing in our lives, and the team was incredibly accomodating, on top of that, the food (especially the chefs menu) was delicious and prepared with care. Thank you again to the team that made our small celebration possible!

We came to dine at this restaurant today with very high expectations, but unfortunately the level of service on the floor completely ruined the experience. Apart from one shorter waiter who started his shift slight later in the evening and seemed genuinely professional, every other staff member appeared extremely inexperienced. No one seemed to know the menu, the dishes, or even the basics about the wines. Every question we asked was met with “I don’t know, I’ll go ask,” but nobody ever came back with an answer. We asked what was included in the “Selection of Seasonal Shellfish” and the response was simply, “I would ask.”Nobody come back , Another waitress told us she would ask a colleague, then disappeared as well. It genuinely felt like everyone was constantly passing responsibility to someone else instead of actually helping the guests. We eventually ordered 9 oysters and two glasses of rosé Champagne, which took around 30 minutes to arrive, together with the croquettes and a couple of starters. In total, we waited more than an hour for very simple dishes. Later, we ordered a €90 bottle of Chablis, which unfortunately was served too warm. I politely asked if it could be chilled with ice. The waitress took the bottle away, and after some time we asked if she could simply bring it back and leave it next to us in the cooler. The tall blonde waitress with blue eyes responded in a very annoyed manner saying “touch it, touch it,” implying that the cooler was already cold and clearly not wanting to help further. We explained that a wine cooler maintains temperature, but if the wine is already warm, it obviously needs proper chilling first. After all the delays, we ordered two market fresh fish dishes and than left. We sat down at 17:30 and left at 21:50 after only having oysters, sashimi, croquettes, eel and 2 main course . The food itself was genuinely very good. Compliments to the kitchen everything we ate was flavorful and well executed. We both work in hospitality and have done so for many years, so we fully understand how difficult this industry can be nowadays, especially when it comes to staffing. We are not the kind of people who complain easily. However, for a restaurant at this price level, the service standards were honestly far below expectations. This review is meant as constructive criticism, and I truly hope it helps, because the restaurant is nice . We sincerely hope that next time the experience will be much better.

We are used to come very regularly to this restaurant.the kitchen is always perfect and very creative. However for the first time in 15 years this time, the young lady who served us was okay but the point that was not okay is that she involves herself in the conversation of the guests without having been asked to.she tended also to have an answer opinion on everything. we were used that’s the service was Always perfect with those youngs in the service, but this time the one we had was not very okay. for the first time, also they didn’t accompany us to the way out and to help us to dress

The food was delicious, just a shame that the seafood was sold out.....that's what we came especially for 😖. The Irish coffee we had for dessert was very mediocre, too little coffee, far too creamy and basically tasteless. Not what you would expect in such a restaurant.

Amazing food, the bouillabaisse was wonderful and the appetizers were also very well-made You could also refill your plate with bouillabaisse soup as many times as you wanted The shrimp and scallops and tuna were fresh Very friendly and prompt service. It is no coincidence that his amazing customers are not tourists but local Dutch people who know how to eat

Dining here with colleagues - chef's table - 15 people. Every dish was a surprise, amazing, and presented with great care. Combined with delicious wines, it made for a complete evening. Special dietary requests at the table were also handled well and creatively. Thanks for the good service Vis aan de Schelde - and see you soon.

Good, competent service, atmospheric, delicious food. Not cheap, but definitely worth it.

Excellent restaurant. We had an amazing experience there and the staff was extremely friendly. The suggestions were spot on and we will definitely return whenever we come visit Amsterdam. 100% recommend it

This little restaurant is a bit out of the way (and easy to get to) but the food is incredible and it’s well worth the effort.

The lobster tasted delicious. Honestly: a bit small, though.

Had a delicious meal, beautiful dishes, good service and nice ambiance.

Very tasty lobster, great friendly staff and atmosphere

This was a very disappointing experience. The lobster was undercooked. I had told them beforehand that I was pregnant and asked them to cook it thoroughly, but undercooked lobster is unacceptable. I will never go there again. It was a meal with someone important to me, and I feel like it was ruined.

It was quite a surprise to find this seafood restaurant so far out of the way but when we walked in the atmosphere was Superior to anything else in Amsterdam the clientele was very well dressed and the staff were super polite and provided excellent service

This is a real delight. The chef is very creative and the food is well balanced and not too filling. It is a gourmet experience unlike anything you will find many places.

Last Sunday, March 29, we enjoyed a very tasty lunch. The theme was Champagne and Caviar, which formed a perfect combination with the delicious dishes in each course. The menu and dishes were creations by Max Deenik and his team, clearly demonstrating that the love for flavorful food and daring combinations has been passed down through the family. Keep up the good work, VAS; we can't wait for the next event! Best regards, Tjalling and Meredith PS. Of course, compliments also to House of Caviar and Pommery!

Had a wonderful evening! Food was top-notch, atmosphere amazing. Thanks to the staff for the lovely ambiance!

On the first sunny day of spring, we enjoyed a delicious lunch on the terrace. Delicious appetizers, a superb starter and main course! And the service was exemplary: efficient, knowledgeable, and friendly!

We had a wonderful meal for two. This seafood restaurant had been on our list of places to visit for a while, especially since we live only 1 km away and drive past it often. The service was generally excellent, and the advice on which wine and oysters to choose was also helpful. The only point of concern, in my opinion, is that the staff offers a bottle of table water (not free, of course). And when it's empty, they replace it without asking, open it, and pour it. This is excellent service in itself, except that you then pay €5 per bottle of water. Even if you didn't order it, it's opened and charged without our consent. The price isn't the issue here, but it would be polite to ask first. We thought this was a shame, because we barely drank anything from the second bottle. Since we had finished eating, the bottle of wine was empty, and we had to leave around 7:30 pm.

ABSOLUTELY TOP, CAN'T BE BETTER

It remains our favorite restaurant with a warm welcome and delicious food, chapeau!!!

A wonderful place to enjoy fish and shellfish dishes at the highest level.

We were given a table for two next to each other upon request, which was incredibly kind. What a lovely restaurant! They've thought of everything; there are even cushions under the table to keep you from bumping your knees. The food was delicious and melted in my mouth. I'll definitely be back, as this was my first time here, and I'll definitely be back.

A wonderful restaurant to dine for lunch or dinner. Whether your in the mood for a light or full course meal this is definitely the place to be. I strongly suggest making reservations, so you don’t miss out on the experience. I would definitely visit them again in the future, so I can explore more of their menu. Thank you again for the wonderful service, and accommodating us despite the mix up in dates regarding our reservation.

I have been coming back to this restaurant every year for maybe ten years now, and if anything it is aways better. Ok, prices have gone up quite a bit, but that's life I suppose. So I can only confirm my old review below from 2018. lOne of my best friends is Dutch, and he used to say that among the many good things he could say about his country, cuisine was not one that would come to his mind. Well, he should visit this restaurant, then reconsider! One thing I learnt is that top restaurants do things that may look quite complicated, but in the end manage to create the experience of simple, pure and unique flavors. Very much the case of this restaurant: eclectic cuisine, mainly French but with influences from all over the world, and combining classic and innovative preparations. Excellent wines by the glass. Prices commensurate to quality, but with excellent price to quality ratio.

Fantastic place where quality remains at a high level after all these years. With its fish dishes, this restaurant really should be in the top 3 in Amsterdam. Worthy of a Michelin star.

I've eaten at Vis since it opened and witnessed all its developments firsthand. From the very beginning, Vis was a success and built its culinary reputation. Because of my family connection to Vis, I'm obviously not the best person to write a review, but I'll give my honest assessment of my recent experience there.

Last Friday, I had dinner at Visaandeschelde and, as always, had a fantastic meal! Keep up the good work, because this leaves you wanting more!

Had dinner outside on the terrace with friends. Everyone had delicious sole as a main course. Superb

Fantastic restaurant where the quality is high and you immediately feel at home. A fish restaurant with a golden edge!

Fabulous restaurant, delicious food with focus on quality, flavour and details of presentation. Perfect wine pairing too 👌

Never a disappointment. Quality and experience always top-notch.

Excellent service and quality! Very satisfied and definitely recommended!

This restaurant has been a familiar place for us for years. The food is always excellent and fresh, the dishes beautifully prepared! Furthermore, the service is always personal and pleasant, and, importantly, the accompanying wines are generally excellent.

Excellent food, but you sit very close together. Friendly service.

One of the best seafood restaurants in Amsterdam. I have had dinner here 3 or 4 times over the last couple of years when i come to the NL and it is consistently good.

In my opinion, the best fish restaurant in Amsterdam, for both lunch and dinner. Highly recommended for fish lovers 😋

Top quality - best fish restaurant ever - service super and personal - absolutely my favorite restaurant.

Delicious dishes, pleasant atmosphere and professional service.

It was a wonderful experience to enjoy and marvel at the delicious food together with my stepdaughter and her father. My stepdaughter, 12 years old and without any experience with fine dining, said, "You don't think I'm here for a children's menu, do you?" Now that her father has passed away, the experience has become even more special.

Always super delicious food with the best ingredients! Always guaranteed good food and friendly, relaxed service! A well-deserved name for years!

Very good restaurant. Great service and the food was fantastic.

A few times a year, I like to treat myself and my best friends to a treat. That's dining at Vis aan de Schelde. Michelin-star quality, yet with the cozy atmosphere you're looking for. It's always a treat to be pampered by the fantastic staff 🥂

Always a treat to dine with you. Delicious fish, cozy atmosphere, great service—just fantastic!!

We have such good memories of this place and had many delicious lunches here. The staff is always so lovely and bend over backwards to make you feel comfortable and seen. The food is prepared with fresh ingredients and the flavour combinations exciting and always different. The courses are a bit small for what you pay, but they are clearly well thought out and prepared with love. The restaurant has also a great wine selection and the staff are usually very clued up on which wines pair well with the food and the customer's budget. I highly recommend!

We had a delicious meal and the staff were very friendly and professional.

Always delicious!! Excellent service, great winelist.

If you enjoy truly good, cozy dining with excellent service, this is the place to be! It has a great menu, very friendly staff, delicious dishes, and a very pleasant atmosphere. We can't think of any reason not to recommend it. A solid 10+ for us.

Good wine selection and the food was tasty. Everything was spot on, will visit again.

Visaandeschelde is one of the few places in Amsterdam where you can still order a classic French "Fruits de Mer" platter. Generously filled, beautifully presented. Beautifully fresh ingredients. The lobster was super fresh, as were the North Sea crab, cockles, periwinkles, and Dutch shrimp. And the oysters have been our favorite here for a long time. The shellfish tasted slightly of water, not the wine-and-cocktail broth we're used to. When we inquired in the kitchen, it turned out that the cockles, periwinkles, and mussels had been cooked in a "fast vegetable broth" (according to the chef). This was clearly noticeable. Personally, I prefer a slightly deeper broth flavor, which gives a more pleasant mouthfeel, especially with delicate shellfish. The reservation went smoothly, and our request for a table in the back was honored. The service was very attentive, fast, and pleasant. The wine list is extensive, and the prices are reasonable, especially compared to the exorbitantly high "tourist prices" at other, comparable restaurants. Visaandeschelde remains an Amsterdam classic for fish lovers. It's been a regular spot for us for years, and will be again in 2026!

Amazing food. The red gurner fish was incredible along with the wine and the beautiful snacks they provided along the way. The lobster was fantastic but a little on the salty side, and the showstopper was the baked oysters, would definitely return

Wonderful restaurant. Fantastic food, great service, and a wonderful atmosphere. I eat the most delicious fish dishes at Vis aan de Schelde. We've been coming here for years with great pleasure. Tip: the Vis aan de Schelde salad😍

Good food, good restaurant, good guys

We chose the chef's 6-course menu. What a delight! Every course looked beautiful and was absolutely delicious.

Good service and super tasty food (Boxing Day)

Delicious Christmas lunch with a very extensive, delicious bouillabaisse in a relaxed, hospitable atmosphere

The food was amazing, bringing smiles of delight to our faces! Along with the service, it made for a truly wonderful experience. We walked home hand in hand, completely in the mood.

Delicious fish dishes paired with excellent wines, pleasant, informal service, and a great atmosphere. In short, worth a visit!

Been coming here for almost 20 years, Always great to be here and this place keeps being one of the best restaurants in Amsterdam

Every year we eat during the wine show. I have never written a review before : here goes. Oysters are French ? No they are gorgeous Dutch full flavours sea salt with an idoine roundness and a milky protein finish … it did not stop there - the fish of the day - just a specialty… if you do not eat here then you have missed a moment. Discreet because when you are that good you can be. Bravo.

Delicious lobster dish, delicious sashimi

When you say "Fish," you know you have to visit Scheldeplein! Fish lovers know where to go. Always surprising, delicious combinations, and friendly, cozy, relaxed service. I don't get to go there enough now that I live in Maastricht.

A truly delicious and honest dinner! The service was very good.

Our favorite restaurant for over 25 years, whenever we have something to celebrate, we're here. The atmosphere, the food, everything is fantastic and feels like home.

Amsterdam's best fish restaurant for years!

Wonderful evening filled with delicious food and experience!

If you want to enjoy delicious fish, go to Vis aan de Schelde, a truly top-notch restaurant. The menu changes every time you visit. Enjoy it!

Great food but the staff is sometimes a bit arrogant...it is not cheap but in relation to the quality.

I think it's been our favorite spot in Amsterdam for 20 years straight. In all those years, we've never even looked at the menu. We and our dining group of three true foodies love being surprised by Michiel time and time again, and he succeeds every time! A hospitable and dedicated owner, and a role model for many!

A casual restaurant where you can bring everyone. The food is excellent, the atmosphere is pleasantly informal, as is the service. Pleasantly noisy.

I had a wonderful meal here. Every dish was a surprise, and the amuse-bouches were a flavor explosion of sweetness combined with a touch of tartness. The service was also friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend it!

We had a wonderful afternoon at Visaandeschelde. We're glad we chose the set menu, both for the food and the wine. We complimented the chef. Everything was perfect, surprising, and the portion sizes were just right.

Fresh seafood, cozy canalside vibes, and friendly service. The Vis aan de Schelde in Amsterdam delivers refined flavors with local charm — perfect for seafood lovers and fun&elegant evenings.

We haven't been there in a while, and we're not sure why. Perhaps it's because of all the new high-end restaurants offering delicious lunches. But after unexpectedly snagging a last table for lunch last Friday, we know for sure that this was undoubtedly one of the most enjoyable, delicious, and best experiences of recent months, and Vis aan de Schelde is back on top of our minds!

Enjoyed a delicious culinary fish experience and perfect service! Party!

Fantastic fish and seafood in an elegant setting, with incredible service, an amazing wine selection, and carefully crafted dishes full of flavor and delightful surprises. Perfect for treating yourself on a special occasion.

Hadn't been for years and had such a delightful evening and wonderful dinner.

We had a great dinner at Visaandeschelde. A set menu of 5 courses, all equally delicious and with excellent wine pairing. Top quality for a moderate price in this class. Host and waiters were very friendly. The atmosphere is more brasserie-like and at the peak of the evening (with a full house and after some bottles) it can get a bit noisy but that's part of the experience.

A real treat!! All those wonderful flavor combinations, Michelin-star quality!! My daughter and I are unfortunately intolerant to sulfites, but we enjoyed our meals just the same. These are truly delicious alternative treats.

Still a great business after 25 years! Thanks, Michiel, for your hospitality.

We had a fantastic evening at Vis aan de Schelde. Everything was perfect: the food, the wines, the atmosphere, and especially the lovely conversations with the staff. For us, the red mullet was definitely the highlight. The sauces are left on the table, which is always nice if you're craving a little more. It truly felt like a night out for two. Definitely worth repeating, see you soon!

I have been here for the last 5 years in October during ADE. This time it was not fully sold out on a saturday, which is a sign. Food is tasteful but I felt portions are very small. We had the chef menu of 6 courses and wine package. You pay more than 150 euro per person and got a couple of small dishes. All very nice and special but it is too little to my taste. Sitting close to the window it is also very cold. Next year we will go somewhere else.

Delicious food and very hospitable in an often somewhat dowdy Amsterdam.

had an amazing dinner :) thank you

The food is delicious, the service is high-end, and most importantly, the shop is clean and tidy.

The food is delicious. You'll feel like you're on the French coast. The service is just what you'd expect. Knowledgeable, attentive, and very friendly. It's also wonderful to relax inside the restaurant, and especially on the terrace. Highly recommended.

What a restaurant, truly exceptional. We had a fantastic meal here with business associates. Excellent service! Highly recommended.

Always great service, and always a delicious dinner at Visaandeschelde! Highly recommended.

What a feast it was again! Not just the incredibly delicious food...with so many unique touches, but also the atmosphere, the Amsterdam humor, the tranquility, and the attentiveness when you want something different. They really hit it off! The family is happy again! Remains our number one fish restaurant in Amsterdam. Thanks!

Bouillabaisse and lobster are delicious.

A special treat, as usual, to visit Visaandeschelde and enjoy their quality food, service and pleasant ambiance. You get what you pay for and it is most certainly worth it. The weather was great and we could sit outside: which is even better as inside it can sometimes get rather noisy as the sound bounces of the walls and ceiling amplifying the noise................ As we live outside the city in a different town we usually come by car, and it is so convenient to get of the highway and park easily - albeit at a ridiculous price per hour, set by the City of Amsterdam ofcourse. Looking forward to our next visit.

We had the Amex Experience Menu at Vis & Schelde and absolutely loved it. The amuse-bouche were a perfect start, the kohlrabi ravioli was the standout of the evening, and both the weeverfish with artichoke and calamari carbonara were also highlights. The food is creative, beautifully presented, and truly delicious — a perfect mix of fun and flavor. Highly recommend!

It has been our favorite fish restaurant in Amsterdam and the surrounding area for 25 years and never disappoints!

As an Amex Platinum member, I was able to dine here through the card offer, something I'd been looking forward to for a long time. Unfortunately, I overheard the waitress tell another customer that "Amex guests only come for the free food" and that "it attracts a certain crowd." That really hurt me; I've rarely felt so unwelcome. The manager handled it politely and professionally, but it cast a shadow over an otherwise delicious meal.

The last time was far too long ago, but the restaurant is now better than ever: the service, the cuisine, the acoustics... Everything is truly excellent. Watch out, it's going to be a star with you.

I've been coming here for years, and I especially miss the tasting menu, which was always on the menu where you could try a little bit of everything. The food is still delicious and the service is fantastic. The atmosphere isn't always very welcoming because of all the businessmen. But it remains one of my favorite fish restaurants. I hope the tasting menu returns someday.
