This place was a great option for Tapas in the area. We had been traveling all day, new to Ams and…read morewanted something not overfilling but just right. Found this place and decided to give it a try! Great, friendly staff and reasonably priced options. I'd give 4 stars. Main reason for 4 stars, is that I really needed a veggie option after eating snacks all day so that was my one note. The food though was fresh and delicious! I'd go back!

I stumbled upon this place on accident trying to get out of the cold in Amsterdam and I'm glad that I did! The aesthetic was homey but with a modern twist-I felt like I was in a family members home eating dinner. The service could have been better which was odd because it wasn't really busy. This was my first time trying true Italian pasta outside of the States and now I can't look back. I would for sure recommend this place for a chill and familiar vibe for a drink or a bite to eat.

I started the evening with a ginger mojito which was good though a bit too sour for my tastes. I skipped appetizers and ordered the Spatchcock Rooster for my entree. I also ordered a side fries and their green salad. The rooster main dish was delicious! It was juicy and full of flavor. The fries were fine, but the salad tasted better than I would have imagined for a simple green salad. I'm not sure what they put on it, but it was very good overall. The only low points of the meal was the previously mentioned issues with the mojito and the seats are somewhat uncomfortable. I thought it was just me, but others in my party also made this complaint. All that aside, I'd defitely go to this spot again, and likely will since it's near my job.

Europe 2023 - Amsterdam…read more Just around the corner from the Heineken Experience I recommend a great restaurant called Pilsvogel. FAST FOOD: I ordered the Celeriac with Forest Mushroom soup which was amazing. While I waited for it to cool down I ate the crostini which had some kind of tapenade. The waitress seems to think the base is made from the bottom part of the celery stalk, but had a pea soup kind of taste with a chicken broth. The forest mushrooms also were amazing. We also had the Reuben and the Caprese sandwiches, both were great, the Caprese could have used maybe a little more pesto sauce or balsamic. Atmosphere: great restaurant, there's a patio but it was cold so we sat inside, they have a beautiful bar and you can see the chef cooking away. Music playing in the background. Service: Excellent, the two young girls and young men were taking care of all the tables and cooking. Tip: Try the soup.

Many, many years ago, back in the UK I used to listen to a radio DJ called John Peel. While…read morelistening to him, I heard a song for the first time from a little known American artist called Prince. I was hooked, and bought an album (Dirty Minds and then 1999) and when later Prince became famous, I could smugly say to my friends "I knew about him long before you did." Which brings me to the subject of today's review. La Vina, who like Prince back in the day are not as famous as they deserve to be. The first time I visited La Vina, I was surprised by how friendly and helpful the staff working there were. I was also impressed by the price quality ratio which was very good indeed. Three years later, I'm pleased to say that La Vina has not only maintained the quality of its service and food but has even improved. If you're the kind of person that has to sit on a terrace even if it's minus 11 outside, then you'll love La Vina as they have a nice terrace, which catches the sun on the rare days it shows up in the Netherlands. Incredibly, they can serve you drinks efficiently without the usual, well worn excuse of "it's very busy on the terrace today, so that's why it takes longer." If you're a wine lover, they have a spectacular wine list, and I recommend taking one of their flights of wine. The food remains tasty and offers great value for money, and the actual ambience and interior of the place is like the Shallow Man, very chic indeed. ;) Whether you're looking to impress the denim pants off a Dutch date, hold a business dinner or tell your other half that she needs to take her Ugg boots and move out. La Vina is the perfect place. Stylish, great food and a wine list that will bring tears of joy to your eyes. A hidden gem in the Maasstraat that's well worth a visit.
