De beste restaurants in Amsterdam

On my way home, I popped in. I ordered the nasi chicken from the daily menu with a Fernandes. The price was €20.50, which I thought was a bit high for what I got. The nasi was pretty standard and not particularly flavorful. The price-quality ratio felt out of balance to me.

Very nice cozy cafe with a cool bartender.

Bar Karakter brings the flavors of Cyprus to life in a delightful way. The food is authentic and exceptionally delicious. The atmosphere is also simply fantastic: warm, very cozy, and full of energy. And the best part? After dinner, you can immediately go on stage to sing along for a few more songs. A fantastic combination of good food and karaoke fun. A place you'll want to return to immediately. Highly recommended!

THE bar where you see everyone again later in the evening

First and Foremost their service is impeccable. Staff were warm and friendly when I visited after a workout. Another good point for me is that everything is vegetarian/ vegan, how wonderful for a vegetarian! Food is not that tasty though so I’m not sure if I will be willing to go there again however it’s quite healthy. It is upto the person and their personal preference, healthy food but mediocre taste but good options for vegetarians.

Last bit of the island's frayed edge that remains

10/10 staff/service 10/10 shisha

The mochi donut was very good but the toast with the steak inside was not too impressive. The matcha had a good taste and the strawberry matcha had a fresh strawberry flavor that didn’t taste artificial. Overall a little bit expensive.

Excellent place for a good meal, great atmosphere and friendly staff

The sundubu-jjigae is great, very well seasoned! The jajangmyeon is also good, does not contain meat, so perfect if you are a vegetarian.

One of the better bars at leidsenplein! The drinks are relatively cheap, the service is good and there is plenty of space. They were also playing good music which really added to the atmosphere!

Brunch downstairs from my hotel, simple, efficient and good advice.

Last night I had a really bad experience with the service here. I wanted to pay with cash because I needed my bank account for other bills. The waitress looked at the note with disgust, as if I was ripping her off. Then she said it was possible, but that I wouldn't be welcome anymore. Her colleague agreed, saying I'd tried that with him before. As if it's so normal and easy to shift the responsibility for such a drastic change of course (and the provider's needs) onto the customer. Cash is still legal tender! 1. I've been coming here for years and usually paid by bank transfer. Now I have much less of it. I'm being accused of not knowing or seeing it on the door. As if I'm being difficult on purpose. I have absolutely no understanding of the time and resources it takes to make this happen. 2. At other places, at least there are friendly people who resolve issues personally. This woman seemed to have a dislike for me. This may have been due to another experience: 3. We regularly ordered takeout food from here because colleagues from my own restaurant couldn't join us. One was still working, while the other couldn't tolerate the noise, light, and crowds for medical reasons. Recently, we wanted to order takeout again, but that suddenly became impossible. We absolutely had to eat the food there. The two of us did it together, but our colleague couldn't join us, so I packed it for him in a box I brought myself. This incident apparently played a role, because I was criticized for this during the discussion about the money. 4. It seems Riot/Conscious Hotel has changed course. They commanded respect with 100% organic, mostly vegan, and affordable food and friendly service, but this has changed. - The prices have become extremely high, compared to the tiny portions, which are described as "sharing dinners," where you are completely misled. Portions so small you can't share, but you need three to make something nutritious. - By refusing cash, access is bluntly and dogmatically denied to a segment of the public with little electronic income. Why so strict when it concerns a few exceptions? How does this elitist attitude fit into the 'Riot' concept, which refers to the Jordan uprising? - A few months earlier, it emerged that no organic frying oil was used. While that would have been an exception, it's now resurfacing. - At Kantoor (Westerpark), there are hardly any vegan options left. Is Riot heading in this direction? The restaurant (Moer) was closed for almost a year. First due to renovations, later due to a staff shortage. It's clear they're struggling with the concept of 'conscious', and that's not easy (for food). With Alchemist Garden, I follow a consistent holistic approach, mm, which in today's world is more of an art form. The most important thing is: be transparent, open, honest, and clear. But above all: be kind! Otherwise, you won't make it (again).

They are complete scammers. I asked to replace chicken with shrimps in a Ceaser salad and i had to pay 18 EUR for 3 shrimps!!!! OUTRAGEOUS! I asked for bread for a soup, they charged me 15 EUR for 2 small slices. When you tell them they are robbers with empty tables, they mock you, say you have to pay and this is Amsterdam so you are not very smart in their view as you should know this is an expensive area. I will make a complaint to the authorities as well, please don’t visit this place! It’s a joke and the worst robbery! This never happened to me in my 6y living in NL.

Hope it opens again soon great place
