De beste restaurants in Amsterdam

Very friendly staff - happy faces serving us good food ! We went on Christmas evening. Most places were closed but this was open and staff was very warm and welcoming. Place was nicely buzzy, interiors is well done and cozy. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal. My son ordered the pasta bolognese and was fully satiated. Pizza with Tuna also was well done. Food wise, you have good options but the smiling service of the staff won our hearts. Can happily go back.

Very good quality and in good prices!

If you like surprises, it’s pretty nice as the set 3 or 4 course menus change every now and then with seasonal ingredients. Lovely place and I was pleasantly delighted with the dishes!

The food was expensive for such a basic place, and the man was eating while serving the order. There was a hair in the shawarma dish, so we didn't eat it, and they refused to remove it from the bill.

I had a wonderful evening at De Hemelse Modder! It was a bit of a struggle to choose, as the menu offered delicious meat, fish, and vegetarian options. This time I chose the pan-fried cod with beurre blanc, fennel, and mashed potatoes, perfectly prepared and served. For my starter, I had the burrata with roasted tomatoes, basil oil, and crispy bread—so delicious! To finish, I had the Hemelse modder (always a favorite 😋). Thank you for the charming service and the wonderful evening!

Delicious food and super nice service

Se cerci un posto dove mangiare degli ottimi ramen questo è sicuramente il posto giusto. Servizio rapido e cordiale, un posto dove tornare

I’ve been here about 10 times and the quality of the food, service level of the staff - and the cozy atmosphere is simply outstanding! I can strongly recommend this place!

Cozy place for a burger and a beer.

Lots of halal options, fresh juices and great baked goods. It’s great to have them in the neighborhood.

Tuvimos un buen servicio y la comida era muy agradable. Especialmente el servicio de Caro y Andrea fue muy bueno. También el la chouffe era muy bueno

Review of Rijks – Vegetarian Tasting Menu (Tuin | Garden) Walking into Rijks, you immediately sense that this isn’t a “typical museum restaurant.” It’s refined without being intimidating, and the service sets the tone for what turns out to be a remarkable dining journey. For my first-ever vegetarian tasting menu — and at a Michelin-starred restaurant — I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Courses & Impressions... Tomaat (Tomato, Strawberry, Honey, Basil) A surprising opener that danced between savory and sweet. The brightness of tomato lifted by basil, with strawberry and honey adding both freshness and depth, instantly set the stage for how imaginative this menu would be. Fruits de Terre (Amazake, Shio Koji, Poppy Seed Tahini) Earthy, nutty, and umami all at once. The amazake and shio koji provided a subtle fermentation complexity, while the tahini grounded the dish. A fascinating “soil-meets-ferment” plate that showed just how far vegetables can go in flavor expression. Tuinboon (Broad Bean, Sea Lavender, Pistachio, Lemon Verbena) This plate was a revelation in texture — the creaminess of the beans, the gentle crunch of pistachio, and an herbal lift from lemon verbena. It tasted like a garden in peak summer, delicate but assertive. Pom Pom Blanc (Lion’s Mane, Celeriac Bordelaise, Hollandaise, Curry Leaf Oil) Lion’s mane mushrooms are often praised for their “meaty” bite, and here they were elevated with a Bordelaise richness and the silkiness of hollandaise. The curry leaf oil gave it a subtle aromatic twist. A dish that blurs the line between plant-based and classic French fine dining. Millefeuille of Beetroot... The star of the menu! Even though it was an add-on, this was a piece of edible art. Beetroot layered like pastry, bringing both visual drama and earthy sweetness. Worth the indulgence. Glazed BBQ Tempeh (Oatmeal, Zucchini, Ajipanca) Smoky, hearty, and comforting, this was perhaps the most surprising course. Tempeh, often dismissed as “hippie food,” was transformed into something gourmet. The Peruvian ajipanca pepper added depth without overpowering. Bijenwas (Beeswax, Honey, Elderflower, Black Fruits) A poetic finish — floral, fruity, and lightly sweet. The beeswax brought an almost ethereal texture, while elderflower and black fruits tied it together like the closing note of a symphony. Overall Experience... This menu was one of the best gastronomic journeys of my life. Every dish was layered, thoughtful, and elegant... not once did it feel like a compromise for being a vegetarian meal. Instead, it showcased the creativity and depth that vegetables can offer when handled with care. Rijks isn’t just a place to eat; it’s an education in flavour, a conversation with Dutch soil, and a reminder that vegetables can stand proudly at the center of haute cuisine. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Unforgettable, and worth returning to Amsterdam for!!!

Went down at 9pm on Monday to get Mexican. But the Mexican stall was already closed.

Super delicious food and very friendly service. Cozy atmosphere!!

Lamb with lentils is served with yellow peas. Lamb korma is sweet. The lamb is cooked and then placed in a sauce. Biryani is rather unflavorful. Phulau rice is barely seasoned. Apparently a different chef than last year.
