One of my favourite dining experiences in Amsterdam!

Service was warm and welcoming. Our server was attentive and really wonderful to chat with as he guided us through the menu. Additionally, thank you for the local recommendations!

The food was quite eclectic, but not overwhelming. I mean this in a very good way. Flavours were pushing the boundary of obscurity, while maintaining deliciousness! I loved the interpretation of ingredients, really showcasing seasonality and balance of flavour.

Thank you for the wonderful dining experience Restaurant Coulisse! I wish your team the best in the future endeavours.

Disappointing Michelin Star Experience – Tasteless Dishes and Poor Service

I’m honestly puzzled as to how this restaurant earned its Michelin star. Our experience was far from awful, but it didn’t live up to the standard I expected from a Michelin-level establishment. It felt like many of the dishes were incomplete—flavor-wise, they could have been much more refined. They seemed to focus so much on innovation that they forgot the most basic rule of cooking: the dish should taste good. Sadly, most of what we tried was either bitter or sour. Perhaps there’s a personal preference from the chef for these flavors, but even when it comes to palate cleansers, it didn’t make sense in many dishes.

Out of the 8 courses we had, I only enjoyed two, and one of those was oysters, which hardly counts as a “dish” in the traditional sense—it’s just oysters. That’s a disappointing result when you’re paying for a multi-course, Michelin-star experience.

Another issue was the service, which was subpar at best. They forgot to remove crumbs from our table until we pointed it out. This kind of oversight is not what you’d expect in a Michelin restaurant. Furthermore, multiple different waiters attended to us, which made the experience feel more like a casual bistro than a fine-dining restaurant. The lack of consistency in service only added to the overall disappointment.

Overall, based on my experience, the food was not tasty and the service lacked the attention to detail you'd expect from a Michelin-starred venue. Unfortunately, it was the first time in my life that I found myself sitting in a Michelin restaurant, wishing for the meal to be over. Definitely not worth the visit, and I won’t be returning.

If you want to see a constructive review this is it:

We had the lunch menu for 2, with coctails and some extra apetizers.

Food overall was quite underwhelming and mediocre. Flavor-wise it was too heavily focused on bitterness and sourness. This was the case with every single course on the menu. Therefore, the flavor design of the entire menu was very much unbalanced and you’re left with a bitter taste during and after each course. In some of the courses, the additional ingredients were overpowering the main ingredients, in both amount and flavor. With degustation portions, such as these, it is especially problematic, because we were looking to mainly taste and enjoy the main ingredients. The bitter and sour flavors did not always match well with the dish. For instance, a bitter flavoring of the scallop was unfortunately not enjoyable. We didn’t appreciate that the tendon of the scallop was left in. Furthermore, the desert was dissappointing. It was a goat yoghurt mousse, with rhubarb and vanilla. However, the vanilla was almost non-existent in the flavor profile, and there was a parsley/ or basil sauce (2 waiters said different things), which was too prominent in the dish, making it, again, just bitter and tasting like a yoghurt with pesto. Which is not very apetizing. Keep in mind the mysterious pesto tasting sauce was not mentioned in the menu, yet it was the most prominent flavor of the dessert. Morevover, the waiting time between the courses was too long for the amount of food you recieve. Each course was very small and eaten within moments. We sat there for 2 hours already and yet we still haven’t had the main course (the 5th dish).  By the end of the lunch, we were still hungry.

Drinks:
We chose to go with the coctails instead of the tasting menu. Their signature coctail tastes very good. Vermouth spritz was fine too, but they serve all their coctails with small thin pieces of ice cubes, which may be uncomfortable to drink. Especially if your teeth are sensitive, you can’t enjoy the drink because of the ice. They didn’t provide a straw with neither of them, which is fine, but when I asked for one, again because my teeth are sensitive and it hurt, I was told they don’t have any. Very strange in my opinion.

Atmosphere:
The interior is very crusty. The windows, walls, leather couch and the wine display cabinet were all dirty to the point you won’t overlook it. The sofa along the wall was way too deep and uncomfortable, so that you can’t pleasantly lean back into your seat. It also had a weird oily hand print on it, and the chairs were stained too.

Overall, the staff was nice, but we wouldn’t come back and I don’t understand how this place has a michelin star. All of this for the cost of 270€ altogether.

Coulisse, Amsterdam
» My visit: Oct 2024
» Total score: 4.7/5 – very good
» Comment: I found both the food and the wines very good. As far as the food is concerned, I would particularly highlight an excellent intermediate course (a tempura) with langoustine and the no less excellent dessert.
As for the wines, I would highlight two outstanding wines - a Rioja and a Rheingau sparkling wine.
In my opinion, the restaurant offered outstanding value for money overall.
The gourmet restaurant Coulisse - which obviously consists of a young and ambitious team with some fresh ideas - fully met my very high expectations.

An absolute gem of a restaurant. From the moment you walk in, you can tell this restaurant knows what it’s doing. From the ambiance to the service, to the amazing and unique dishes, our dinner was lovely. We took some family here to visit and couldn’t have been more pleased. The most disappointing part was hearing of their closing in May (but here’s to hoping for a “rebirth” in some way sometime in the near future)!
