De Gouden Reael ( By Caron )

Another French favorite in Amsterdam! Place is charming and beautiful, super knowledgeable and friendly stuff, and delicious food! We had 3 course dinner, pate was amazing! I did like my skate but I have to say I prefer fish with white sauce. Citrusy dessert was one of the best desserts I’ve ever had and Im not even a dessert person! Next time we will go for a 4 course cause portions are not big and my husband was a bit hungry after 3 course.

Nice little spot hidden on the outskirts of Amsterdam central. The location is really nice and the attention to decor is a gamechanger when the weather is good. The service is the first point I need to highlight. The blond lady was amazing. She was professional, and very engaged. The night made even better by her service. Also her wine knowledge is on-par. Now for the food. The amuse Zuchini was good and tasted like… zuchini. Not a foreign experience, but good nonetheless. The bread was amazing. Crunchy and soft. No remarks there. The tomato starter has a lot of potential. Although good. No surprising taste but well flavoured. Some flavours really pack a punch and stand out. The fish main was good. Again not special, but wll done and flavourful. Dessert was also well done. All-in-all a steady experience with a lot of potential.

Extremely overpriced and pretentious. My wife and I ordered different starters, mains and deserts each and shared them. Amuse bouche - bean soup with strawberry. Who on earth thinks this combination works? Unbelievable. The seafood starter - no seasoning, melon way overpowering the fish, accompanied by burned almonds. Tomato dish - the only decent dish we had, and the only thing I would recommend. Monkfish dish - the portion of monkfish was so tiny it was only slightly longer than the prongs of my fork. A nice courgette flower, but then mixed in with an overpowering tomato puree. Again, there is no seasoning. Veal dish. No seasoning. Are these chefs allergic to salt? Meat was okay, but too bland. Cherry and chocolate dessert. All tasting like stuff you can buy from the supermarket. Biscuits were burnt. Fruit dessert was ok, but the crunchy biscuit sat at the bottom of a pile of fruit and ice cream and went soggy within minutes. It's all style over substance and at outrageous prices. Chefs pretending they are Michelin star but clearly do not understand the most important aspect of food which is FLAVOUR.

I recently dined at a charming French restaurant in Amsterdam and had an unforgettable experience. The zucchini with fish, white asparagus, and redfish with raspberries were all perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The gnocchi was a standout dish, with fluffy dumplings in a creamy sauce. The milles fois with strawberry ice cream and rhubarb tarts provided a sweet and tangy ending. The service was impeccable, and the cozy ambiance added to the overall charm. I highly recommend this restaurant for an exceptional French dining experience in Amsterdam.

Celebrated my birthday here and got some lovely impressions from the staff and their service :) Great attention to detail & tasty dishes! Only one note: my boyfriend and I are both pescatarians and would have loved to go for the fish option as main. Unfortunately, this option had sausage as well, which meant it was not going to fit us :(. Not really a feedback point necessarily, would have just loved to have a real fish option. Otherwise, the vegetarian option was truly delicious!!
