Reviews
A great business dinner evening! Helling 7 is a great restaurant with a beautiful view from and to Amsterdam. The service is extraordinary and the food delicious. We had a starter selection and the beef/fish main course mix. The taste of the bbq grill is a highlight but not dominant. An absolute recommendation when you are in Amsterdam!
The pointed cabbage as recommended by the waiter was an unexpected star of our dinner. Friendly service and I got my queries promptly replied on the day itself. Great industrial-esque setting in a shipyard. Decor on point. Will come back again.
AMAZING food (we were very impressed; Michelin star level in our opinion)! And very nice people as well.
The food was really good and price/performance ratio is fair too compared global/international prices. I will definitely go there again and good to know is that parking is free between Sat 6 AM until Sun 7 PM. Superb location inside the AMS Ship Yacht in XXX Noord. Inside and outside (terrace) really nice and cool with huge ships around in the docks. It was nice to place the reservation on a Sunday with a wide time range (12:30-15:00). The service was really good and very friendly.
What a gem we found on Google. The staff extremely friendly, the food was 9.9/10. The only reason I don’t give it a perfect 10 is because I thought the fries could have been more crunchy. My coffee Negroni had me absolutely buzzed up!
