A lively, friendly spot with great energy and excellent drinks. The service is upbeat, the setting is inviting, and it’s an easy place to settle in for a fun evening.
During dinner with my family, gravy spilled on my coat while it was being served. This was handled properly on the spot with a damage report. To prevent further damage, I immediately took the coat to the dry cleaner myself – afterwards, it turned out the stain was irremovable. However, regarding compensation, Loetje wants to assess the jacket themselves first, whereas the dry cleaner will only release it once I pay the costs. So, I have to incur costs myself for an attempt that yielded no results before any further consideration is given to compensation. Had I known beforehand that a purchase amount exceeding €250 means the item must be handed over or shipped immediately, I could have left the coat right away. As far as I am concerned, this should be standard practice on the damage report. An unworkable state of affairs, and a reason for our family not to visit here again.
Delicious food and friendly service. Everything arrived very quickly.
Unfortunately, it was a bit noisy inside.
The restaurant will be closed for renovations from July 25th to August 2nd, 2026. Afterwards, it will be called MOSA.
Unfortunately, our experience at MOMO Amsterdam started off on a disappointing note right from the moment we entered. The hostess at the entrance came across as very unfriendly, distant, and rude, making us feel completely unwelcome. A warm welcome is precisely the first thing you expect from a restaurant in this price range. Because of her attitude, we felt more like a burden than guests. That immediately set the tone for the evening, which was a real shame. Hospitality starts at the front door, and unfortunately, that is where things fell significantly short. I hope MOMO pays more attention to this, because a friendly reception makes a world of difference. Fortunately, we had a delicious meal elsewhere with a fantastic atmosphere at a much more expensive restaurant than MOMO, which was REALLY worth it!
After I read the reviews for Foodhallen, I thought there would be more vegan options. Regardless, I was relieved to see that Fento had a vegan burrito. In the vegan burrito was bean puree, mixed greens, tomato salsa, sweet potato, red cabbage pickles, rice & beans with a side of cashew crema.
The burrito was stuffed with all nourishing things. After eating a lot of sweets, and heavily fried food in Amsterdam, this was refreshing. I felt healthy after eating it, as big as it was. I liked the pressed tortilla, it added a nice crunch. However, the cashew crema made this burrito and pulled everything together. It was good but felt like something was missing.
