TheForkUserGreat service and food. The gnocchi pistachio (special) was delicious. The house red wine was very reasonably priced and good. It’s tight inside so be open to sitting near others. Food and drinks came very quickly after ordering.

TheForkUserWe had an amazing meal and experience. This is authentic French food, and the quality is immaculate. Our waiter was incredibly kind and funny and gave us great wine pairing recommendations. I got the lamb, and my partner got the short rib. They both were cooked to perfection and our vegetables were delicious. The ambience of the restaurant is lovely — very nice art, French music, and overall great vibes. I highly recommend this restaurant to people looking for affordable and authentic French food in Amsterdam.

Asian Cuisine

TheForkUserLove tapas places, and Asian style tapas is the best! We always come to this restaurant when in Amsterdam; creative choices for Asian food. We are allergic to shellfish, so get fried rice, Peking duck, larb, Korean chicken (my favorite), beef skewers...always crowded, so reservations a must...

TheForkUserWe had dinner for two on the evening of Tuesday 12 September. Small but cosy restaurant, nice and helpful staff. The menu offers a wide choice of meat, fish and vegetarian dishes. The quality of the food is excellent, as is the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff and the owner. Food served in record time, considering the restaurant was already almost full. The only problem is that in order to enjoy the best Greek I have ever found I have to come all the way to Amsterdam from Bologna (Italy) ahahaha

TheForkUserEverything is really nice, I only consider that they should have bigger portions as it is a Spanish restaurant, the prices are a little bit high for the portion. The rest all good, the atmosphere and the staff.
