Wijnbar Vindict in Noordelijke IJ-oevers West

Very nice, delicious wines, cozy atmosphere. We'd love to come back.

In my opinion, the best wine bar in the Netherlands. Always a surprising, extensive selection of wines by the glass that changes regularly. The food is fantastic and, just like the wines, very reasonably priced. An added bonus: on Wednesdays between 5:00 PM and 7:00 PM, you can choose a bottle from the shop with just €10 corkage fee! And then there's the atmosphere... you'll feel like you're in a Parisian bistro: stylish, warm, and cozy. I'm a huge fan🍷

This may be called a "Bar," but it feels like a full-fledged restaurant in every way. We sat at the bar and had a wonderful experience. The menu is accessible yet surprising, dishes perfectly prepared, and truly something for everyone. The wine selection is also excellent. We will definitely be back—see you soon! Ambience: why 4 stars and not 5 (the lighting could have been a bit more pleasant in the evening, but after asking, it was duly dimmed).

Super fun place with exceptionally friendly and knowledgeable service. A real asset to Noord! I've been here a few times now, and every visit is a treat. Whether you just come for a drink or a delicious meal, you always leave happy after a pleasant evening.

We were welcomed into the restaurant after booking online. After about two minutes, the waiter arrived and asked us first for water, and then if we wanted suggestions on the wine. We replied, very politely, that we would choose ourselves, but this was probably misinterpreted, because from that moment on, the situation became disastrous. After choosing our wine, we were brought two glasses (there was certainly a misunderstanding here, as we had intended to take the bottle), but, once we pointed this out to the waiter, he gave us a bottle that had clearly already been used (at least two glasses were missing in addition to the ones he had already poured for us). From there, a series of behaviors bordering on rudeness ensued: no one came to ask us for anything to eat, we had to intercept the waiter the first time to order, while the second time, after repeatedly asking if we could order, he decided to bring us the menus. After another ten minutes, he came over and took our menus away from us, handing them to the table next to ours (without asking if we wanted to order anything else). The final insult: we ordered two more glasses of wine (hoping they'd realize they'd given us a bottle that was clearly open), but they didn't; we were charged a whopping €19.50 for the two glasses (on top of the €42.50 bottle) - see the receipt below. A real shame, because both the place itself and the food were good, but the service in this case completely ruined the experience.

What a gem! Walked in with a party of four during Sail 2025. Friends live around corner. Fortunately they had a spare table. Great food, delish wine and superb service! Sorry we didn't take any pictures, too busy enjoying ourselves! We'll be back!

Thank you all for your openness, great service, delicious food and amazing wine!! The originality of your wine selection is a breath of fresh air! See you very soon!

Nice place, but a bit too fancy for my taste. What do you mean you don't serve the seats outside? Food was tasty yet overpriced. I guess it was not a good fit for me. Probably won't be back.

A really nice place! The food is excellent and the menu has a nice variety. The wines are very reasonably priced and have a wide variety. Definitely worth it!

Maxime is such a knowledgeable person and so dedicated to her job! She's making such a difference in the service and also how she takes her time to explain the wines, would definitely come back here, hope to see her again!

There are many wine bars in Amsterdam, but not many with a truly good selection. Vindict is one of the better ones! Interesting wines and good food, all at a reasonable price. The service is friendly and knowledgeable. Vindict is worth a trip to Amsterdam-Noord.

We live just around and normally have an amazing time here. Unfortunately a single bad experience can change your entire view. In summer we sat down on the terrace and within a couple seconds the server came over and without chatting to us he put a reserved sign on the table and stared at us implying we needed to move. Absolutely NOT how you treat your guests.

Love everything about this place ❤️

Nice wine bar with good food and good service, an asset to the neighborhood. A year ago I also did a (SDIN 2) wine course, definitely recommended! Jan Jaap knows how to dress up the course in a fun and interesting way and is also very knowledgeable! Thanks and until next time.

I had a great evening at Vindict winebar. Starting on their lovely new terrace and later moving inside into their atmospheric bar. Great people, delicious food and bites and… wow!!! An amazing wine list, with personal advice. Lovely evening, will definitely come back.

Fantastic selection of wines and snacks. Very friendly service. Easy to reach from Amsterdam Central/Pont

Wine bar and wine store in one.

A cool and vibrant wine bar. The owner gave me a delicious suggestion.

Oh people, what a wonderful place this is! Friendly and hospitable, delicious wines, many by the glass, and beautiful food. Everything with enthusiasm, love, care, attention and dedication. And now also a very beautiful terrace with tables made of Dutch acacia wood!

Our visit last Friday evening was again unforgettable. Vindict Wine Bar offers an excellent culinary experience with carefully prepared dishes and an impressive wine selection. The warm ambiance and expert sommelier make it an unforgettable destination for lovers of good food and special wines. Vindict combines gastronomy, craftsmanship and ambiance at a high level. An absolute must for anyone who enjoys good food and fantastic wines. We look forward to returning again soon.

Fantastic wines and great service, and very tasty food. Must visit!

We had a perfect lunch on the terrace. Incredible wine choice, the guys know exactly what to recommend & the bites are delicious (10/10) we had the Forel Broodje, mushroom toast and chicken liver moose toast - all home made & all SO GOOD! Chill vibes & great food/wine!

We went for the wine desgustation: 21€ for 3 glasses. Was great! And the waiter really took the time to describe each wine in details. I'll go again!

Great wines, excellent dishes. And after a false start a month earlier, we really enjoyed our evening. Also good to see that the host took that seriously.

Very good wine with delicious food

The wines and service here were both fantastic. We went with a flight which was tailored to our preferences. A great way to try additional wines that weren’t necessarily listed on the glass menu.

An outstanding bar with a unique and huge wine offer. Really friendly and professional staff which can give you a really detailed review of every wine. Will definitely recommend to everyone visiting Amsterdam.

Lovely atmosphere, smiling faces, excellent wine selection and delicious sharing plates! Our new favourite in Noord. We'll be there next time soon!

We were here recently for a Marcoult champagne dinner. Not only was everything very tasty, but we were also very well taken care of. I have some food intolerances and the service dealt with this very well. I received a (very tasty) adapted dessert and they talked to me about the options just before dinner. We had a wonderful and enjoyable evening and will definitely come back again.

Very cozy place with a wide choice of delicious wines! The food is also very tasty.

The choice of wine is large, perhaps too large. The first glass chosen by the waiter, a nice wine. Then chose a fantastic wine yourself. The steak tartare was disappointing. Ground and not cut. Shame!

Great wine bar with very friendly staff, nice wines, tasty food and a pleasant atmosphere. Definitely recommended!

Delicious wines and dishes and friendly and good service!

What a great place to eat, and enjoy nice wine. Dishes are interesting, some classic and all very tastefull. The hosts are friendly and happy to advise you about wines and drinks.

Great experience! They have a lot of interesting wines and were able to advise us excellently. They let us taste so many different wines so we could find the one we liked the most. The food was also amazing. It’s become one of our favourite wine bars after a single visit!

Since we live in the north, Vindict is really our favorite! Super nice wines by the glass, delicious food and a very pleasant atmosphere. We will be going back soon!

Was alone and ended up here by chance. A direct hit. Great service, the girl behind the bar was so incredibly nice and helpful. Delicious dishes and wine. Really try the eggplant from the oven!

I am a very happy returning customer. Every time I visit, whether it is with my spouse or friends, the staff makes it special. The knowledge and expertise is extraordinary. So much so that I hardly ever pick something out myself, I just say "surprise me", and they always do! (and that is coming from a seasoned burgundy drinker). The food is also matched in excellence. I would recommend a visit to everyone!

Est! Est!! Est!!! Great place, great wine, great host

The food and wine were delicious! The staff is quite attentive to the guests which was a good benefit. It could get crowded but that is a downside of a popular place:) Would come again!

Wow! What a nice wine bar, it had been on my list to visit for a while. Because it was quieter last weekend and not fully booked, we were able to go there last minute, and it was even better than expected! The Californian wine flight was very pleasant and well priced for the good quality wine.

There are no superlatives for this wine bar. We were with a group of wine students and had indicated in advance that we would like to practice blind tasting. Say no more! Jan-Jaap only had to say half a word and spent the entire evening letting us taste the most beautiful wines and explaining why we were in the right direction, or (as was often the case) not at all. The passion for the wines shines through and the level of knowledge is unparalleled. We also tried almost their entire dinner menu (to call them "snacks" would not do justice to the fantastic food) and were pampered from the beginning to the end of the evening. An asset to Noord and highly recommended. We will definitely come back!

Good wines, tasty bites and friendly staff. It was very busy on a friday which is a good sign. We had champagne twice, some oysters, croquetas, bread with mushrooms, steak tartare and shrimps. Cheque was around 100 euro for 2. The place has a good vibe. It's about a 10 minute walk from the buiksloterweg ferry. They have special tastings and a wineshop right next to it. Will come here again. Good for couples.

Great place with lots of amazing wines and very friendly and knowledgeable staff. We did a few times now the wine tasting and we will definitely come back. Thank Jan-Jaap.

Had a really wonderful evening here. Will definitely come back! Wonderful wines and just as good food.

What a cozy place. Good atmosphere and great wines on the menu. Glad I discovered this place, I will definitely come back here more often. Very nice shop also to take something tasty home with you.

I've been here multiple times for business meetings and on my own. The staff is nothing but fantastic at every interaction. I always told them that I would come back until they give me a bad wine recommendation - it did not happen yet :) The food is mostly bar food, but a little bit more upscale, that goes well with wine. The idea is that you would be able to taste by the glass from the 50 or so bottles that are always available, and hopefully buy some from the store next door. In all fairness, they were quite open to even open bottles from the store that were not in the restaurant yet. All around this is an amazing restaurant, an amazing team and very well executed business idea. Very well done guys, and I'm looking forward to coming back one day. Strongly recommend it, and it's actually worth travelling across AMS to come to this place.

Amazing experience. Fun and friendly staff. Great menu we ordered every main one menu, as all looked good. Very reasonable prices for area. Amazing wine selection.

Nice wine bar in North! Good atmosphere, top service and, above all, a surprisingly nice range of tasty wines. Accompanied with delicious snacks. Highly recommended!

What a great place for a fun evening! Excellent wines, delicious dishes to share and a friendly, warm atmosphere. It all looks so beautiful too! Highly recommended, we will definitely come back.

Great bar! Top wines, delicious (and affordable) food and a pleasant atmosphere and people!

What an asset to North! Delicious food and fantastic wines. The owner provided us with matching wines with the dishes all evening. Good relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff. Recommended :) I will definitely come back, also for the wine tasting!

Amazing selection of wines. Staff really tries for you to have a nice experience

Everything was perfect! We ordered charcuterie board and wine and it was delicious. Plus, the atmosphere and service was great, would definitely recommend 👌🏻

Ideal mix between bar and restaurant, with exceptionally good wines in the leading role. Super knowledgeable, friendly service that spoils you without being pushy. Add to that the original delights of chef cuisine Samir and the ambiance. Then you know: I will come back here.

Amazing wines and service. Thanks to Niel for taking a good care of us!👏

Wijnbar Vindict weet een onberispelijke ervaring te bieden voor elke liefhebber van goede wijn en eten. Het culinaire aanbod is bijzonder en verrassend, met gerechten die even creatief als smaakvol zijn. De wijnselectie is ronduit overheerlijk; elke slok is een bevestiging van de expertise die hier in de wijnkeuze wordt gelegd. Wat echt het verschil maakt is de bediening, die uitermate gastvrij is. Het personeel maakt dat je je welkom en gewaardeerd voelt, en hun kennis en passie voor wijn verrijkt de hele ervaring. Wijnbar Vindict is een absolute aanrader voor een avond uit die je smaakpapillen zal verwennen en waar je je onmiddellijk thuis voelt.

Heerlijke wijnen en hapjes en erf fijne sfeer! Mooie toevoeging aan de buurt!

Ga hier alsjeblieft niet heen! Heerlijke wijnen , heel veel per glas, met goede, verzorgde, smaakvolle gerechtjes erbij. Leuke bediening met gezellige babbel. Je kunt hier echt beter NIET heen gaan. Anders wordt het veel te populair!

Zeer goede wijnkaart per glas (Assyrtiko en Louis Seabra aan te raden), ook erg lekker gegeten (Chioggia biet, Hollandse garnalen, aubergine)

Finally, an amazing wine bar in Noord, without question is the choice and knowledge in wine exceptional, however so is the food, and also the prices. Amazing value for your money.

Omdat het nog rustig was werd ons spontaan aangeboden om een proeverij samen te stellen. Heerlijke verrassende wijnen, gezellige en oprecht gastvrije service. Ook voor de BOB werd wat lekkers samengesteld. Ook echt een aanrader als je iets te vieren hebt bijv.

Super leuke zaak, eindelijk in Amsterdam met zo’n professionele wijnkaart! Absolute aanrader! Cheers

Super leuke aanwinst voor Noord. Lekker eten, sympathiek personeel en een indrukwekkende wijnkaart. Je kunt hier exclusievere wijnen drinken voor een leuke prijs. Wij komen terug! 🍇🍷

Great experience! One of the best wine menus I have seen the last years! Excellent dishes to accompany this. Last but not least: the atmosphere, decoration and service on site are spot on. Will definitely visit more often:)

This restaurant is truly fantastic, the food is made with such love and care by the worldclass chef Samir Doueiri. Great service and knowledge of wine.This winebar my favorite

Best new place in Noord! Mooie eerlijke kleine gerechten die je allemaal wilt proeven. De wijnkeuze kun je helemaal overlaten aan de kenners van Vindict. Na het proeven kun je meteen bestellen in de winkel van Vindict ernaast. Super concept en sfeer!

Great wines, food and atmosphere. Would definitely recommend!

Original menu with shareable dishes that you don’t see on every card in the city! Great choices of wine that goes hand in hand with the store. Ambiance is 100% the highlight of this place: cozy and well-thought through, the staff is also lovely and easy to make conversation with! Definitely would recommend and would go back.
