I guess you wouldn't expect any less from a Michelin starred restaurant, however I feel compelled to share my experience. It started out great with my server offering me house pickled vegetables to start, and then came the oyster and aged ham cart. I've never seen anything like it and ordered two oysters off the cart and they were delicious. I asked my server Mike, for several recommendations and also wine pairings and he was very accommodating and knowledgeable. I started with the asparagus appetizer which was fantastic! The sauces were so sublime, I ended up asking for bread to sop it all up! Next came the glazed, boneless ribs with sambal on the side. Great presentation and now I know what Sambal is and love it!. Finished with a cheese course-fantastic. I just came from Paris and ordered cheese twice- both times it was straight out of the refrigerator. Not at Ron Gastrobar! The cheeses were deliciously room temperature. No notes! Keep doing what your doing.
★★★★★ I walked in with sky high expectations, and wow, they still managed to blow me away! Every dish was a hit. You have to start with the bread, it is literally like eating a delicious cloud. From there, the Korean fried chicken was perfectly executed, and the tartare was a pure delight. But the absolute showstopper? The Wagyu with bone marrow. It was mind blowing and easily one of the best things I have ever tasted in my life. Oh, and you cannot leave without trying the spareribs! The service was a flawless 10 out of 10, and the funny little dessert at the end was the perfect way to wrap things up. (Fun fact: even their bathrooms are an experience you just have to see!). The only tiny miss for me was the basil cocktail, which was a bit too sweet and lacked that fresh basil kick. But overall? Alongside Night Kitchen resturant, this is hands down the best restaurant in Amsterdam. 100 out of 100 points!
Went with a friend and shared a few things. Had a croquet starter with an incredible sauce and deep fried onion that tasted amazing. For mains had a beef wellington with a short rib starter and broccoli which all tasted amazing. Was a very relaxed atmosphere and the place felt welcoming and quirky. 1 drink, 1 starter, 1 main, 1 side costs around €100
I went there with two friends and had a great experience. The three of us shared six plates, and it was quite enough. My personal favorites were the iron steak with cabbage and the sea bass. Both were full of flavor and cooked perfectly. The waiter who took care of us was very friendly and made us feel welcome from the start. The ambience was also a big plus with a slightly romantic vibe. I’d definitely recommend it not only for a night out with friends, but also as a great spot for a date.
We booked a 3 course lunch. It was amazing experience, the staff was polite, knew the menu and were happy to make suggestions. Wine list is very good as well. The vegetarian main courses were amazing, the king mushroom and cauliflower. They had 4 different type of oysters .. and the salad was amazing too
