We just happened to see this restaurant while walking back towards our meet-up location during our…read morefree time in Amsterdam. I originally thought it was the German Burgermeister chain which we really liked in Lucerne. We were even more curious when finding out that it's a local burger spot with only 3 locations in Amsterdam. This one is located on Utrechtsestraat in the city center near Rembrandt Square. It appears to be a small space when you first enter. There's a downstairs kitchen with bar seating as well as a booth at the window. Their actual dining area is upstairs. We were greeted immediately and asked to sit anywhere. Our order was taken at the table. It was great service from the get-go! I think our biggest first impression was the cleanliness of the restaurant and bathrooms. You just don't see that level of clean just anywhere. The burgers here are exceptional. They are gourmet-type burgers that are cooked to order. We thought about getting fries with it, but decided not to after seeing the size of these burgers. I could barely eat it all. Our Mokum Cheese Burger was absolutely delicious and very juicy. I loved every topping. I can't name it all, but I know it had some type of aged cheese with a hint of horseradish in the sauce. The pickles were tasty. I wish I could give you every ingredient. All I know for sure is that it's made with Blonde d'Aquitaine beef. They have a cookbook for sale if you're interested. The drinks are varied from gin & tonic to beer, wine, and lemonade. I enjoyed their loose-leaf jasmine mandarin tea served hot. There's a little room upstairs for creative people who like to sketch. I saw some of them decorating the walls. Having a burger in different countries may seem uninspiring for some people. I've found it to be very telling of the local culture and flavor. Especially in restaurants that have a standard of high quality ingredients. This is one that I'd go back to when visiting Amsterdam. The service made it even better.

Serre served refreshingly vibrant cuisine that is light and healthful, which was exactly what I was looking for. I was particularly delighted by the comfortable seating, beautiful views, attentive and friendly service, and intriguing menu excuted flawlessly. Highly recommend. (Earl Grey Tea Set: A+) - This is the prettiest tea set that has ever been presented to me! I love that it comes with some fun, yet technically executed to the highest degree, confectionaries including a mesmerizing macaron. (Sea Bass Carpaccio: A) - Bright and vibrant dish that was just what I was looking for, with some mild notes of brightness coming from the fresh pickles and blood orange. The sea bass is fresh, well textured, and nicely seasoned. (Duck with Chimichurri: A) - I like that this duck does not take a sugar forward palette but rather a herbaceous one, with a powerfully earthy chimichurri to complement the tender duck. The beetroot adds a subtle sweetness as well, and is deliciously balanced. (Chocolate Dessert: A) - Fun chocolate dessert that is well contrasted by the sharp calamansi sorbet. The play on different textures is a smart classic that works well in a new light.

Seriously, does nobody just decide they are going somewhere? With live music being played with a guitar and some drums...it really helped set the scene. A special was 50 Euro for 2 people and you get two appetizers (Carpaccio or Shrimp), two entrees (Steak or Fish) and an entire bottle of wine (you pick red or white). The apps were very good (we had one of each), the steak was good, and the wine was also good. The value was great and really couldn't be beat. The service was very nice as well. We sat close to the kitchen and watched everything just go smoothly. The chef seemed to like what he was doing and the servers seemed happy as well. That may seem like a little thing, but it really adds to the experience. I can't say we will seek out this restaurant again, but if you are in the area and need a spot to eat, this is pretty decent!
