Vlees & Co Amsterdam in Noordelijke IJ-oevers West

This was honestly the best steak I have ever had which says something coming from Australia. This was so good that we HAD to thank chef Noah personally who was nothing but amazing and so kind. I also recommend having the veal sauce with the steak. Not only was the steak cooked perfectly, our server Santana was also incredible and attentive. Although it’s a little out of Amsterdam city, I 100% recommend you making the trip.

Hidden in Amsterdam Noord, but definitely worth it. Good steaks and surprising side dishes. Delicious food and friendly service.

Top location . Friendly staff . And the restaurant for meat and fish meals.

Food and service unacceptable slow (1,5 hour). Was not allowed to sit outside although terrace was half empty. Lot of operational problems with this place. We overheard all kind of problems from other guests while in this restaurant (wrong food/cold fries etc). End at the end we went sick (meat not fresh). We payed €120, it was all a waste.

Our experience at this restaurant was not very pleasant. The girl who served us was very surly and not nice. She responded very briefly to everything and showed no interest. We asked for a fanta and the waitress responded with “I have sisi”, not very polite! The food was tasty, but we had a piece of meat that was completely overcooked. Another sweet server resolved this well with us. The rest of the staff was very nice except for that one grumpy girl.

Great food and service. Price bit on the high side. Highlights: Steak tartare and oyster mushroom

Hidden place with good meat , can sit by the water outside as well! The way the meat is presented makes it more original, starters were nice as well. Only thing is the place is quite far away from everything so it’s not convenient to get there .

Ambience beautiful, staff nice and good. However, I have never been served meat that bad. There is still much to be gained in terms of quality and preparation. I don't understand the slogan "best steak house in..." This was the first and last time

Unfortunately the food was very disappointing. The ribeye consisted mainly of a large piece of fat and what little meat was left on it was tough and almost impossible to chew. The meat was served on a small grill, but the coal under the grill had completely burned up leaving only ash. The pepper sauce didn't taste like anything and didn't make the dish any better. Overall a disappointing experience. We won't be coming back here again.

Meat was good, side dishes could also be better in terms of price.

The atmosphere is fine, good service, beautiful decor, but the food is substandard. The slider burgers were cold inside and tasteless. They were supposed to be 2 different burgers, with different flavors but both had no taste. Ordered the chimichurrie sauce with the main course, which should not even be called chimichurrie. Very special, different taste. The main course was also a tasteless piece of meat. The aim of this restaurant is to become the best meat restaurant in the Netherlands, which they will not succeed in this way. First let's try to become the best restaurant on the NDSM site and then look further. That is quite a challenge.

I went two times, only wish I'd found the place earlier (maybe my bank is happy I didnt)... it is well worth splashing out on though ! First night I had a starter and main, second time just a main. Atmosphere only loses out as I went early and it was quiet (Wed & Thur at 1700)... but i like eating early and alone !!... try it, I'm certain you won't be disappointed.

I personally wouldn't come back here again. When we received the menu, it was immediately stated that 3 (the best dishes) of the main course were no longer available, this on a Sunday evening at 8 o'clock... we had ordered bread in advance, there are no mini plates served with bread so the entire table was covered in crumbs, but it was not cleaned all evening...

Food was tasty and service was fast and good the atmosphere was very good

The carpaccio is great and the tenderloin is delicious with the sauce. Friendly and helpful staff. You can also sit by the water, so that is a plus.

The location and local were great in themselves, but the food was rather mediocre and the service was ok.

Had dinner here with a group of 22 people on a Saturday evening. Super staff who thought along and had everything under control. Delicious food. Ribeye melted in your tongue. We had a very nice evening and would definitely do it again.

Nothing to complain about. The food is great! Meat cooked to perfection, side dishes are delicious, service is excellent, the ambiance is great and the price quality ratio is good. We have already made a reservation!

The staff did their best to make something of it. Unfortunately, the order went wrong, so we had to wait longer. Initially received something different than ordered. Management did come to apologize, which was to her credit. The power went out with a big bang, but it was resolved again. We didn't make much of it because we had the time anyway. Beef tenderloin was of very poor quality in terms of meat and meat structure. I've actually had better ones in my carnivore life. Ice cream is always delicious, but stop with those almost obligatory crumbs. A "Crumble" like that ruins the ice cream... come up with something new. The main negative for me: everything is prepared without salt, even the herb butter. Looks like a retirement home. Conclusion: Very poor, salt-free food for way too much money. Looks like the owner is aiming for a flat in Monaco. My sincere advice: In terms of location, you do not have a prime location. More of a place for a Chinese takeaway. I came to you especially because of my Google search: Best meat restaurant in Amsterdam... That was not the case. So come up with something really unique in terms of meat, preparation and/or presentation and buy a salt shaker for the kitchen... otherwise you won't last long in this place.

Nice and cozy atmosphere, good service. The food was very good, but in terms of price-quality ratio it could have been better... I had the wagyuh special... but it didn't taste like a 45 euro+ piece of meat... my wife's tenderloin for half the price tasted a lot better... Will I go back there again?? Yes!!

Location and service not much to complain about, just good everywhere. Only the disappointment of the amount of meat was very big. 1150 grams of sirloin and a 400 gram bone is just not okay. If it is then pointed out that this ratio is incorrect, there is a lame excuse stating that the meat is shrinking. Very unfortunate, but hopefully they can respond better to this.

Had a very nice date evening ❤️ Very tasty steak, chimichurri was highly recommended

Most amazing meat ever eaten! Wagyu is highly recommended, it is brought to the table on hot coals so it stays nice and warm. Desserts are amazing 10/10

This is the place to enjoy steak. It is dark, so bring a flash light to read the menu

Disappointed in the quality of the food and poor service. I had high expectations for the food but unfortunately... The sirloin steak was dry and there was little flavor to the meat. Quality meat with a skilled chef can also make a juicy well done steak. What mainly let down the experience in this restaurant was the service of the staff. They pay no attention to the guests and only sit behind the bar talking to each other and then forget your order. It took 1 hour for the main course to be served, while there were only 2 tables occupied in the entire restaurant, including my table. It's all very unfortunate.

A really nice romantic atmosphere/ambiance, nice view over the outdoor terrace and water. Never seen this side of Amsterdam North before and really liked it. Very friendly, pleasant waiter/hostess and of course the food and drinks are fantastic. I had 1 primitivo and Malbec with the meat...top. Japanese Wagyu.... worth repeating!

Really delicious food. The menu is not very extensive but more than enough to make a good choice. The wine list goes well with the meat served and the staff is very friendly. This restaurant is comparable to Loetje, which is next to it, but with a greater focus on meat. Fantastic experience.

Totally worth a visit! Excellent service and food!

Nice atmosphere and excellent menu.

Delicious food, excellent wine, good service and relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommended!

Truly a hidden gem in Amsterdam North. Very good steaks and brisket. Nicely decorated and cozy on the water. It takes some searching, but it's really worth it. Best meat in Amsterdam North 5/5

Nice tent, hip and casual. Meat was extremely tasty. Starters a bit tasteless and the salmon tartare very little, the crouton was bigger than the salmon :/. Management did their very best and there is nothing to complain about.

Best meat I've ever eaten. Was extremely impressed. Everything was top quality. Also vegetarian dishes. Staff was very friendly and professional!! Beautiful restaurant and cozy but also chic decor. Nice terrace on the water. Definitely recommended.

Took my buddy out for dinner at this location on a weekday evening, had a very nice experience in this restaurant. The view is beautiful over the water, the food is really good and the service is also great. I will definitely come back here in the future!

We went to this magnificent restaurant a little outside the centre, but it was worth it both for the food and the wonderful service.

For the price it was disappointing. Dishes were not available. The luxury fries with truffle and parmesan cheese were disappointing.

Nice, modern restaurant. Great location, delicious food.

Had a nice evening, very tasty food. Very good service and attentive!

Nice and cozy restaurant. The meat in particular is of very good quality. #Ribeye #Tender🙌🏿🔥💪🏿#tenderloin

The big new pearl of Amsterdam North and way better than what you can find on NDSM. Better food, quieter atmosphere because you can talk to each other normally (sound-dampening walls and ceilings), and not crammed with x amount of tables. Service is very friendly, attentive and correct.

Modern restaurant with a very good atmosphere. Food high quality. Service very good.

The website assumes a nice location on the water, which sucks, but inside the store you sit behind a partition in half darkness, so you don't get anything of the view. Small menu and what you ordered happens to be out of stock. Undercooked Brussels sprouts as a vegetable, even after a second attempt, with a chef who loves his creations. I was there with a guest who is a trained chef and has worked at the best French restaurants. He was also not pleased with the decoration, presentation and what was offered. Too expensive for what is offered and certainly not hospitable. Amsterdam certainly has better restaurants. In short, a lot has to happen if they want to see me there.

Deliciously tender pieces of meat and good price-quality ratio. Definitely a guess!

Took an Uber at 8:45 PM from Houthavens to this restaurant…. Kitchen would be open until 9:30 PM according to Google. Unfortunately, big mouth, big bye, shame about taxi costs. Maybe the food here is tasty, but we'll never know... For us big ZERO!

Excellent steaks. Unfortunately a little too dark for my taste. Service could be a little more attentive, sometimes without drinks for a long time. But very good recommendations

Delicious food, will definitely come back here again

A really great place! Service and atmosphere were really good. The two ladies were super friendly and attentive! The wagyu was sublime.

Delicious food with great staff. That's how it should be!! Recommended!!!!

My friends and I decided to go on a trip to Amsterdam. I wanted to have dinner somewhere nice, definitely steaks. I found this place and made a quick and easy reservation. I was impressed with the staff who were super friendly and kind. The food and drinks were unique. On our next visit to Amsterdam we will definitely stop by again.

FANTASTIC!!!! I sincerely thank the restaurant, the waitresses, the owner... especially the attitude towards the guests.... Price-quality great.... Thank you Thank you Thank you it was extremely tasty and filling I look forward to visiting Amsterdam and your restaurant again. .. Cheers to the three guys from last night !!!

Delicious food and beautiful location… Staff is super friendly… The terrace is also highly recommended on a beautiful summer day

Great food and atmosphere. Service was on point

Everything was super tasty, super fresh and nice portions...

Time to update my review 3 years after the first visit. This has always been my favorite restaurant in Amsterdam, but now they have really taken a step up again. The meat has always been very good, but everything around it is also just right. What a gem in an unknown part of Amsterdam!

Food: We ordered two steaks, the ribeye and the picanha and both were really nicely made steaks. Service: Our waiter was very attentive to our needs. Good all around. Atmosphere: a bit quiet but it looks like it was going to get more lively as we left This is a great find for someone who's on this side Amsterdam

Price-quality ratio could really be better! a steak for 32.50 that is clearly smaller than a cheaper variant. Fries are standard catering level, some self-cut/fresh would not be out of place in such a caliber tent, which is what they want to convey through the prices. Then the mayo is probably also chip sauce from a plastic bottle! Not a single piece of vegetable, even if it is visible... Dessert is recommended, could be a bit bigger but tastes good! Service reasonable, they are not asked for drinks again, guests are huddled in a corner of the 1/3 full restaurant.

Good food the area is nice and the atmosphere. There’s a nice dock to enjoy a drink, but not the craziest experience

Delicious food and very pleasant staff, if you like meat you should definitely eat here once. Edit: 26-07-2024 ate with colleagues and unfortunately 2 pieces of tenderloin were cold inside "I think I waited too long until the main course arrived at the table, so the meat had cooled down" I also thought the fries were not warm enough. I thought it was a shame because I regularly visit meat and co, but yesterday I had a bad experience.

Had a delicious meal at Vlees en Co. Even for me as a vegetarian there were tasty options! We sat with our baby on the terrace in a quiet place. Well-trained service> big plus! You don't see that often these days, so it's highly recommended.

What nice girls in the service :) you don't see that often in Amsterdam anymore. Location nice! Food tasty! And excellent wine. The terrace could be decorated as nicely as inside, but it is not a nuisance. Nice surprise and will come back.

Really good food. Staff was very attentive and professional. Dry-aged steak was impecable. Baos were delicious.

Delicious Steak! Really good quality and perfectly prepared! Meat and Co. lives up to its name!

A very delicious steak restaurant. I ordered the Wagyu steak and it was perfect. Nice location on the canal. Slightly dark inside the restaurant which made it difficult to read the menu -) but otherwise the food was spot on.

Nice atmosphere and good service!!!

Highly recommended for meat lovers. Friendly staff, nice tent, good atmosphere, and really delicious food.

Food is good. Despite the name, also vegetarian options. The location is still (?) not very nice and the entrance is not very striking. Nice interior and friendly service. Parking is difficult.

Bavette, côte de boeuf and waygu beef: A winning trio! The bavette was glorious, and each bite of the waygu makes you close your eyes to take it all in. The waiter who took care of us was friendly, profesional and made the dining experience even more enjoyable. The bill was high for a Wednesday night but reasonable considering all we ordered (and we were only 2 ^^) and the quality that was delivered. Thanks a lot!

If you have a small menu with some specials, you have to make sure everything is really, really good. And Vlees & co has succeeded miraculously. High quality meat perfectly prepared. Sides and sauces that compliment the whole and desserts that are also the perfect ending. The only comment I would have as a coffee snob is to check how hot your coffee gets in the machine if you wait too long to brew it. That is an art that would make the whole even better. Still 5 stars. Do you like meat and do you want to eat good, yet very affordable food? This is where you need to be! There is also a dock for your boat. So more happiness after a day of sailing. Go there, drink, eat, be even happier!

Delicious food, perfect place to eat on the boat. Highly recommended.

Food is good, very tasty, the place is attractive, we will come back again

Good food in a good/nice restaurant. Delicious steak, lots of choice. Paid parking is available nearby.

Great food, great service and a wonderful atmosphere. A little off the beaten track, but I really enjoyed that. We had bao buns and gyoza to start, followed by ribs, with a salad and chips and the most gorgeous stoopwaffle dessert to finish. If you're in Amsterdam Noord, I'd highly recommend Vlees & Co!

What a nice and delicious restaurant! Had a super tasty meal here after a day in Amsterdam. We are fans of Vlees & Co and couldn't resist going to this location. What a super nice and quiet place on the water. Friendly service with a passion for their profession, an attractive and chic interior and such high-quality food. Everything tasted delicious and I understand that this is called the meat restaurant of Amsterdam-Noord. We'll be back as soon as we're in the area again. Thanks for the nice evening!

What a surprisingly good and tasty restaurant this is! Highly recommended. Starters, mains and desserts were of excellent consistent quality. We enjoyed the carpaccio, pork belly and bao bun, the piccanha, hamburger and the stroopwafel, snicker plus Coffee and co (4 chocolates). Top! We will definitely come back!

It took a long time before we got food

Had a delicious meal 5 months ago and gave a 5 star review. Went back this week with the expectation that it will be good again. Too bad the meat (for which you pay 30 euros) is not properly cooked. Even after asking to cook a little longer... it came back burnt. See my "medium" cooked steak below Too bad! Cocktails are of a high standard.

Delicious food in this restaurant, really quality meat and side dishes. The atmosphere is good, it is tastefully decorated. The service was very friendly!

The stake was quite good and well baked. The prices where I think quite high for what was offered. There was no side salad , the potatoes were very average ( I've had way better potatoes at a fish restaurant in ijmuiden , Frederick's potatoes ) , the place is new , but since they like to bring the stakes on a small grill with charcoal , after half an hour the whole place was smokier than a coffeshop , for a entry level stake 2 salads and 4 deserts , we payed 250 euros ( 4 people).was it OK? Yes am I going again ? Nahhhh

So over priced for nothing The food was ok I can get the same quality at any cafe in Paris unfortunately The cocktails were pre-made…. And still overpriced A big scam for 160 euros for two people you better go to a proper restaurant.

Had a delicious meal at Vlees&Co. Very nice that they are open on Mondays and the meat is bizarrely delicious. Definitely worth it. We will definitely come back here again.

What a great Christmas dinner and atmosphere experience.

Top service from Dani!! Eating delicious meat with a Wagyu topping 👌😋. Very hip chic place for fine dining in Amsterdam North. Highly recommended 🤩.

Had a great evening with delicious cuts of meat at Vlees & Co. Certainly in Amsterdam there are plenty of options for parking (at least on the street). Nice atmosphere. While we experienced the service very quickly (and fleetingly) at the beginning, at the end of the evening we had the feeling that we had forgotten it. The cuts of meat, including the carpaccio and Stone Ax Wagyu Rump, were very tasty.

Original and delicious before, main and after dishes. As a meat restaurant, they live up to their name. Just a shame about the mayonnaise. Tip: We thought the mayonnaise was too sweet.

The meat was okay but nothing special. Good portion of fries to go with the meat, but I feel the meat itself is overpriced. Service was fine but a bit slow.

Saturday night - frosty reception, rude and sharp staff, undercooked Padron peppers. Steaks were fine but that was all I can speak well of the place. Avoid if you can. Service really ruined the experience.

Wagyu steak was tasty but cold.

Normally we thought it was really tasty here and the meat quality was good. Service was always normal but this time I couldn't eat the meat and neither could my girlfriend. One of the staff was also very unfriendly. Everything took super long and no apologies or anything. Never again for us after we have been many times.

Alles was goed, bediening aardig en het vlees heerlijk.

Puur vleesrestaurant, maakt deel uit van een (kleine) keten. Maar desalniettemin héél lekkere bereidingen. Zeker zeer goed kwaliteitsvlees, dat proef je gewoon. Wij waren wat aan de late kant, het was ook nogal kalm en kregen rond 22h de lichte indruk dat ze de tent wilden sluiten gezien de vele opruimactiviteiten rondom ons. Maar we werden zeker niet buiten gewerkt.

Redelijk vlees. Maar de ladysteak is een stuk minder lekker dan een biefstuk bij Loetje.

Ziet er leuk uit en vriendelijk personeel. Eten viel een beetje tegen vergeleken met de prijs.

Excellent stake and a very nice atmosphere.

Haben noch nie soooo gut gegessen , für Fleisch Liebhaber ein Besuch wert mit so viel Liebe serviert ,und das ist noch nicht alles ..Ambiente einfach nur super , ein klasse Team kommen gerne wieder ..

The food was delicious and the service was kind. However, the table setting seems a bit inflexible. We had a reservation for 3 people at 19:00 but we ended up eating close to 21:00. We did not want to eat at the table next to the toilets, and it took some time to find us another since most of them were either for 2, 3, or larger groups. Some couples that arrived after us without reservation got a table before us because they were 2, then, it felt a bit upsetting and unnecessary to reserve so long in advance as we did. Luckily, the tasty food and friendly service make up for the long time we had to wait.

Heerlijk gegeten, de steak was prima. Bediening /personeel allemaal even aardig. Niet heel goedkoop, maar daar eet je dan ook wel heel lekker voor.

Stylisches Ambiente & fantastisches Essen, dazu die tolle Lage direkt am Wasser… wir kommen bestimmt wieder!

Moderne eettent met fantastisch lekker eten. Wel wat aan de prijs maar dat mag de pret niet drukken.

Great food and service the place is really comfortable

Heerlijk eten, prachtig restaurant alleen de wc was wat donker. Personeel was vriendelijk maar er mag iets meer energie van afstralen.
