The space is quaint, cozy, and feels like stepping straight into a classic Dutch living room. If it's your first time or you just want a bit of everything, the stamppot combination plate is unbeatable. Getting to sample all three traditional mashes--hutspot, boerenkool, and zuurkool--paired with a juicy smoked sausage or traditional Dutch meatball is pure comfort on a plate. The Erwtensoep (Dutch pea soup) served with rye bread and smoked bacon is rich, thick, and incredible on a cool afternoon. Start off with the bitterballen or Dutch shrimp croquettes to share while you wait. Service is super friendly, welcoming, and effortlessly switches between languages without missing a beat. Because the dining room is small and intimate, it fills up remarkably fast--booking a table online in advance is essential, especially if you're aiming for dinner. A total gem for proper, unpretentious Dutch cuisine!

My mom (a very picky eater with a sensitive gastrointestinal track) and I walked in here for a late…read morelunch on the day we arrived in Amsterdam. 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!

Paul (and others) were all convivial hosts, and the options are plentiful. The inside was entirely inviting, but what a treat to relax over the water or along the street in the sunshine. Beer enthusiasts will find myriad domestic and foreign options, but whether knowledgeable or not, I'd encourage visitors to ask for recommendations - the staff are great guides. Recommended for a visit.

They really made this place quite appealing with its wide open concept and they positioned the kitchen/seating right in the heart of the floor which makes it extraordinarily good.

It has a homey vibe inside and I enjoyed looking at the photos and other memorabilia on the walls. We got the stewed beef and Amsterdam chicken. It came with sides of boiled potatoes, cabbage and brussels sprouts. Portions were surprisingly large as they give you generous portions of sides. We had plenty of leftovers to take back. I'm not an expert on Dutch cuisine so I can't comment on the authenticity or the quality, but it was tasty. The beef and chicken were a bit on the salty side but paired well with the basic sides. Overall, it was a charming dinner experience.

NO PAPER NAPKINS HERE. SIMPLY AMAZING…read more Don't let the name fool you. There's nothing concerning rats here. We've been here a few times and this place never disappoints. A couple nights ago we had the steak filet (very good) and the lamb filet (fantastic). After being seated, fresh warm rolls with butter are brought to the table. We had a beer and a Shiraz (super). The Shiraz paired well with the lamb, which was served in a wine sauce. Really. It was amazing. Green beans wrapped in bacon and two potato au gratin stacks were served with the lamb. Everything was perfectly cooked and the flavors, well-balanced. The dessert served with the lamb dinner was a chocolate mousse which I didn't really care for. It wasn't bad, rather, a bit too sweet after the dinner and there wasn't enough of the chocolate flavor. It came with a small scoop of what I think was caramel ice cream. This was delicious. There is a main dining room and several smaller rooms, all of which have wonderful architecture and individual charm. The service is unsurpassed. TIPS: 1) Make a reservation! 2) Perfect for a casual meeting, business meeting or a romantic night out. 3) Although, people do take their kids here, it's not recommended unless your kids are very well-behaved. It's an upscale place.
