As a solo diner on a mission to find a quirky, charming spot, I stumbled upon this…read morerestaurant--except, at first, I wasn't entirely sure it *was* a restaurant. Tucked away from the road, with a veranda overlooking a peaceful pond, it had the aura of a secret escape rather than an eatery. I had to blink twice before convincing myself I wasn't trespassing into someone's very scenic backyard. Since the rain was doing its best to ruin my dream of pondside dining, I headed inside and was greeted warmly. A friendly waitress translated the Dutch menu into English with the patience of a saint, ensuring I didn't accidentally order something that would challenge my taste buds in unexpected ways. Enter my meal: a gloriously crafted open egg sandwich with salad, paired with decaf coffee (yes, I'm *that* person). What can I say? It was delicious--so delicious, in fact, that my stomach betrayed me, forcing me to stop at just half. If I had room for regrets, it would be that my appetite wasn't large enough for the full experience. I also made an amusing blunder, mistakenly assuming that the two wonderful waitresses assisting me were sisters. One of them laughed and gently corrected me--proving, yet again, that my detective skills are absolutely nonexistent. Final verdict? A hidden treasure, friendly staff who tolerate confused solo diners with grace, and a meal worth dreaming about. Also, your wallet will thank you. 10/10, would gladly get lost finding this place again!

My husband and I took some time off for lunch because beautiful Dutch weather doesn't occur often. We shared the starter soup and ordered different luncheon entrees. We quite enjoyed the lobster soup; though I hate to say, I have had better. I am still looking to re-create that lobster soup experience I had when hubby surprised me with a trip to Iceland for my 50th, and the Blue Lagoon was our hang-out during my special day. In this case, the soup was almost-but-not-quite-there-next-to-perfection, so the reason for my 4 stars. Maybe next time I can upgrade them to 5, with different dishes. My carpaccio beef salad sandwich was good, and my husband was pleased with his salmon sandwich. Add to that the view, quiet ambiance, good service, and we had a lovely lunch. I do recommend.

I honestly cannot say enough great things about our dining experience - first visit was a group of 8 in the main dining, and it was so good 2 of us came back and ate at the bar a few nights later. Both dinners were exceptional. The raw oysters were amazing - we had a few "experts" from the US northeast claim they were better than anything thy had had in new england. I had the rigatoni with venison bolognese twice it was that good. Beet and goat cheese salad was a perfect starter. The famous apple tart to top it off.

Top Notch Breakfast and Dinner…read more.. Brasserie is the restaurant inside the Ambassade Hotel. My wife and I...along with another couple...had 4 breakfasts and 1 dinner there so this review reflects our experience. - Overall: 5 - Location: 5 (for Old Town and the Jordaan) - Exterior: 5 - Interior: 5 - Atmosphere: 5 - Menu: 5 - Food: 5 - Service: 5 (though the head waiter at dinner was full-of-himself) - Price and Value: 5 Pros: - Location: Convenient to the Old Town and Jordaan parts of Amsterdam. - Exterior: Handsome. A beautifully restored and maintained property. - Interior: Contemporary. Brasserie is a high end spot across 3 rooms, yet remains comfortable where conversation is easily accomplished. - Menu: Very healthy buffet at breakfast plus some items which can be ordered. Dinner offers French fare with a relatively light touch...though very different from the wellness-oriented breakfast. - Food: Excellent. The breakfast buffet is not huge, but full of healthy high quality items. I had 3 unbelievable versions of granola spooned from large jars and covered my bowl with the best tasting light Greek yogurt. Fruit and fish was super fresh...bread and pastries baked on premises amazing. Others in our group chose made-to-order egg dishes. It's all part of staying at the hotel. Dinner transformed Brasserie into a bistro with a French twist on many favorite dishes. Check the menu online. Portions are small - as expected - but quality was high. However, prices were very reasonable with most items under $30. - Service: Homey at breakfast..."French" for dinner. Everyone could not have been more friendly and helpful in the morning. Things were a bit more formal at night with a different crew. The chief waiter was very knowledgeable, but we agreed a bit arrogant. - Price and Value: Worth it. I believe the breakfast buffet is only for guests of the Ambassade Hotel. Brasserie is open to the public at night and quite reasonable. - Parking: None. Who has a car in Old Town? Cons: - The only one readily apparent was the brusque, off-the-cuff nature of our main server at dinner. He wasn't over-the-top, but not in keeping with the friendly vibe of the hotel. And that's coming from 2 couples who grew up in New York City and lived for many years in San Francisco and LA. Anyone can...and should...get dinner at Brasserie. There are many reasons to make reservations for a stay at the Ambassade - including access to their breakfast buffet.
