The whole experience was exquisite! From the oysters and champagne to start off, to their signature rice pudding dessert, everything was delicious. We got the 4 course meal, and each course was unique and so good. My personal favourite was the calamari.

We were served by the owner, Max, who was really attentive and ensured we had a personalized and great experience. He gave some great wine pairing advice too! Not to mention the fun ambiance and beautiful decor.

If you’re in Amsterdam, this restaurant is a must try!

The restaurant boasts a beautiful and welcoming atmosphere, paired with excellent service. The staff is professional, friendly, and well-informed, creating an enjoyable dining experience.

However, I was somewhat disappointed with the food, especially considering the price. We opted for the chef's five-course tasting menu, which included three appetizers, one main course, and a dessert.

The first two appetizers were outstanding, the scallop, and the mushrooms in chestnut cream; but the third, a fried croquette, felt uninspired, with the flavor dominated entirely by the frying. The main course, featuring venison, was delicious; however, the addition of two small pieces of eel felt out of place and did not harmonize with the rest of the dish.

The most disappointing aspect, unfortunately, was the dessert. The menu included a pear-based dessert accompanied by parsley ice cream. While innovative, the flavors were peculiar and didn’t align with what one would expect for a dessert course. Unsatisfied, I asked to try the second dessert option, which was cottage cheese-based. Sadly, this too failed to impress and did not feel like a fitting conclusion to an otherwise refined meal. For the price I paid I would have expected more.

In summary, while the menu shows great promise, certain elements could be improved. I would strongly recommend revisiting the dessert selection to ensure a more satisfying ending to an otherwise well-thought-out dining experience.

We had an unforgettable evening at Arles, where we gathered with our international friends for a truly magical experience. Opting for the five-course menu with wine pairing, we embarked on a culinary journey that was nothing short of extraordinary.

Each dish was crafted with love and care, showcasing a perfect balance of flavors and artistry. The wine pairings elevated the dining experience, perfectly complementing each course and adding to the intoxicating ambiance of the evening.

The warm and inviting atmosphere, combined with impeccable service, made the night even more special. Arles is not just a restaurant - it’s a destination for those who seek a memorable dining adventure. Highly recommended for anyone looking to celebrate good food, great wine, and even better company.

The food quality was excellent for the price, and the service was friendly and polite. However, I occasionally felt a bit rushed, as my plate was taken before I had finished, especially when I still wanted to enjoy the sauce with my bread. Aside from that, everything was great. The atmosphere is cozy and romantic, and the location is in a fantastic part of Amsterdam.
