    Espresso Martini
    Aanandi M.

    Decor 10/10- garden was absolutely beautiful and I loved how you could walk outside to take pictures! It was so spacious and it also had heaters in case you got cold! Service: 10/10 very nice and on top of it! Also explained to us how tipping worked in Amsterdam since we were tourists. Drinks- 7/10 yummy espresso martini, but nothing super unique! I'm not an old fashioned person, but my parents seemed to like their drink! Food- 8.5/10 each dish had its own taste and the ingredients were extremely fresh! My favs were the raviolis, poultry parfait, and the octopus! The ravioli each had their own distinct flavor and were paired beautifully with the candied lemon. They were also not very heavy! The octopus was melt in your mouth and paired with chorizo was a unique combo I never thought of! The poultry parfait was buttery and tasted even better with bread! I didn't like the ceviche at all. It was more like lobster roll than ceviche which left me incredibly disappointed. Would definitely recommend skipping that. Overall: 9/10 often places with beautiful settings skimp on the food but this was not one! You can enjoy a lovely dinner with a wonderful ambience!

    First restaurant of our Amsterdam visit. Was indeed a delicacy to enjoy the snacks here with our drinks. I tried the non alcoholic wine Prosecco and I loved it. For snacks we had the hummus, the classic bitterballen and mushroom croquettes. A must place to visit for the ambiance. Service was great here with the amount of people visiting. Will definitely try to reserve a table by the garden to watch the Flamingo and enjoy my dinner.

    Do not come here if you are in a hurry. Staffing issues have obligated De Plantage to remain closed on Mondays, and the wait staff is struggling but, in my experience, were kind and doing their best. This cafe restaurant is housed inside an 1870 orangery, with a six-meter ficus tree at its center... everything is on a grand scale with numerous intimate seating areas. Bleached wood flooring, marble countertops and tan leather banquettes make for eye candy. Outdoors, you are seated on the perimeter of Amsterdam's zoo, Artis, and on the grounds of Hortus, the city's botanical gardens. The Mediterranean fare is fresh, well prepared and attractively plated. I ordered oysters on the half shell and the insanely divine wild boar ravioli.

    Great trendy spot next to the Artis (zoo)! Great service and food is amazing. Especially the fresh vegetables, almost like farm to table. Would definitely come back again to try their other menu items. For our dinner, we got: Cerviche (Mackerel) Wood grilled fish Steak Churros com Chocolate and Vanilla ice cream (Glass of Prosecco and Syrah) All wonderful~

    excellent restaurant by the zoo in Amsterdam! They open late as well which helps if you are jet lagged from US. The outdoor seating is very nice with hanging lights. We had the ceviche, Cod and steak.

    Solid food in a really beautiful atmosphere. We were able to walk in without a reservation and really enjoyed our meal. Service was friendly and prompt.

    Perch
    Kimmy U.

    One of my favorite meals during our stay in Amsterdam! Not only is De Plantage aesthetically beautiful, but their food was delicious! It looks very fancy inside, so we expected a pricey dinner.. but everything was reasonably priced at 20 or less for main dishes! (but keep in mind all of us came from NYC...) Most of us ordered either the perch or the risotto at the recommendation of our waitress. And both were delicious! The perch fish was not dry and the rice, eggplant, and veggies accompanied it perfectly. The risotto was also really creamy and flavorful. The runny yolk was a perfect addition. Even though it didn't have meat, the mushrooms were so good. I wish there was a De Plantage in NYC that we could go to!

    Elegant and refined. The restaurant has a beautiful greenhouse feel. I would love to come back when it's warm enough to sit outside and to try more of the menu.

    Food is really good, actually that impressed us but service is AWFUL. We waited 20 min to get our beers and 30 min to pay the bill. Not the best service when you try to call them and no one looks in your direction. Even though, food was delicious and the decoration was pretty.

    We were wandering around Amsterdam and stumbled in here randomly. Obviously we did not have a reservation and although we arrived at 5pm we were promptly seated and advised that the kitchen didn't open until 5:30pm. Our server was very friendly and prompt and the food we ordered was absolutely delicious. I definitely recommend this place for a nice meal.

    Fried red fish and asparagus risotto
    Bianca V.

    Our waiter was very sweet and the food was good. I think the coolest part was the atmosphere by far. It's next to a petting zoo and inside a greenhouse. We ordered the asparagus risotto with a poached egg and the fried red fish. Both were good. I don't think I have ever had a fish fried to that level of crispness without it also being heavy from the oil. The fish was light and the meat tender and flaky. For dessert we capped it off the pear crepe. The best part of the meal was the wild boar ravioli. Those 4 little pockets of meat were packed with a creamy gamey filling.

    Salad with burrata, served with blood orange, fennel, eggplant served with a pomegranate vinaigrette.

    Upon entering, there is a sense of regalness that may have you second guessing a casual dinner outing. But this is Amsterdam, where anyone can mingle while enjoying the atmosphere and good food. The main room is enormous, resembling what could have been a greenhouse at one time. We were enthusiastically greeted and lead to our table after signing off on our reservation. The service never missed a beat as our waitress was also friendly and just on top of things. Everything came quickly including a second glass wine and dessert. I began with the salad with burrata, served with blood orange, fennel, eggplant and pomegranate vinaigrette. It was wonderfully presented and one of the best salads I've ever had. The main course was roasted duck with beluga lentils, savoy cabbage, fried elstar, pancetta and mirin. The meal was equally delicious. This is a perfect spot to celebrate a birthday, anniversary or just a pleasant evening out. I give top marks for a flawless experience and good food at a very reasonable price. De Plantage is a true gem in one of Amsterdam's most unique neighbourhoods.

    Lamb dinner for two. Amazing.

And despite ALL of our meals in Amsterdam being excellent, this one may have been the best. We wanted to try Dutch food, not totally knowing what to expect and were blown away by the combination of flavors and textures we consumed. We started with the pickled herring which was served with onions and pickles- fresh yet bold! I'm still thinking about those little fishies weeks later. Then we each had the sampler-ish plates (I forget what it was called). Hers was the vegetarian version and mine was with sausage. There were 3 kinds of essentially mashed potatoes with veggies mixed in: 1 with spinach I think, 1 with carrots, and 1 with sauerkraut. Mine came with a delightfully rich gravy and my moms came with some kind of lighter yellow sauce (I think mustard based). We tried these same dishes at other Dutch restaurants during our stay, but nothing beat The Pantry. The service in this quaint and cozy spot was also excellent!

Portions are substantial and a very good value in a neighborhood where tourist-markups are the norm. They have a/c, but in order to feel it you'll need to sit closer to the back of the restaurant/near the kitchen, as there is only one wall unit back there, and they leave the front of the restaurant open to the elements (even in 98+ degree heat).

I found it browsing Yelp, and the name alone told me this was going to be a meat-forward kind of night. Fair warning if you're bringing anyone squeamish about restaurant names: The wife wasn't thrilled about it going in, though the food won her over fast. Getting there was its own small adventure. The place sits down a narrow alley, and our Uber couldn't get us all the way to it, which turned into a bit of a hike. That happened to us more than once in Amsterdam, using the exact address didn't always mean the driver could actually reach the door, so budget a few extra minutes if you're headed here. I normally default to steak, but the menu had a burger topped with pulled pork that promised more meat than a straight cut, and I couldn't pass it up. Delicious. Genuinely one of the best burgers I've had. But the wife's flat iron steak might have stolen the night. Flat iron is one of the most underrated cuts out there, and this kitchen proved it. She was still talking about that steak days after we got home, enough that I ended up buying flat irons from Costco just to chase it. The atmosphere is cool and a little edgy, dim lighting, a lot of character, and yes, some genuinely creepy decor scattered around, including an old doll that stares at you like it's judging your order. It ran loud, but not so loud we couldn't hold a conversation across the table. Service was good, just on European time rather than American time. Getting the check took a while, which threw us off at first, but that's the norm across the EU, not a knock on this place specifically. Pricey, but worth every bit of it. We'd go back without hesitation next time we're in Amsterdam.

It was very warm in the place, so keep that in mind if you're traveling in Amsterdam during a heat dome! We had a couple servers who worked with us nd both were kind and friendly. They didn't quite communicate with each other about our need to split the check a specific way, but it worked out in the end. We enjoyed some cocktails and beer (ranging from 9.50 Euro to 12 Euro), as well as the Pork Belly and Pickles to start off (21.50 Euro for 300 grams). Tasty way to start the meal. The three of us shared our mains and enjoyed what we had. The Favorite Ribs (24.50 Euro) were flavorful; the L'Incroyable 300gr (Ribeye; 34.50 Euro) was good, but our least favorite of what we ordered; the Le Cannibale Royale 170gr (burger) was super tasty. We also enjoyed some frites (4.90 Euro) and some delicious Mac n Cheese (6.50 Euros). Good time and good food!
