Got recommended by a Dutch friend of mine. Food was OK, nothing special but the atmosphere good! All staff young and well prepared ! Good position if you also want to spend the night at the centre of Amsterdam, by the Red Light area.

This place is truly a hit! A truly unique location. Open kitchen, delicious flavors. The beef tartare was one of the best I've had in Amsterdam so far. I can't wait to come back to try more!

Great restaurant in the center of Amsterdam, right in the red light district. But with the advantage of being away from the crowded streets. The place is beautiful, with a lounge and chill atmosphere. The bar is on the first floor and the restaurant on the first. You can see the kitchen and the staff, and the waiters are professional and helpful. The meal was delicious, especially the Pappardelle. Make sure you make a reservation before coming. Prices are rather high, so expect to pay at least 100 euros per two.

A good restaurant in the Red Light District. A very warm welcome and good service. The main courses were superb. The desserts were delicious. A few remarks: the portions are small for what you pay. €10 was charged for the ice cream, although the menu states €8. It's a pity that Amex is not accepted.
