Special dish made by Chef Fabrizio…read more.. Absolutely delicious pasta with garlic and Italian red chilies!!!

Forgive me as I do not know the name of this dish but this was probably the most delicious pasta…read morethat I have ever had. 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.

This is amazing!! Come hungry because you order 4 plates (though one can be saved as dessert). You…read morecan order al la cart but it is more expensive. They are kind, know English, and it's a great location!!!

O yum! Just went here last weekend and it's like Spain in NL. The only way you know otherwise is to…read morehear people speaking Dutch and to see the prices (not expensive for NL at all but compared to Spain, yes). There are many sandwich options to choose from both warm and cold as well as warm and cold tapas. My friend and I each had a sandwich and a drink and shared 3 tapas. We ended up each paying about 11-12 euros. And the quality was excellent. Really a good lunch. This place is busy. There are people waiting for tables both inside and outside.It's small so depending on how many people there are it may take a while. For us we only had to wait about 5 minutes. There are people walking in all the time to get sandwiches to go or to buy deli meats/cheeses/tapas. Definitly try this place out for lunch!

The sandwiches are super good here. I had the Jamón, sundried, pesto, parm cheese, and the flavors…read moreworked so well together making it taste delicious. I also had a black coffee with steamed milk and that did not disappoint! Small, cozy, friendly place.

Not the typical "all you can eat Tapas" that you normally find in the Netherlands and consequently,…read moreMuch Better! I've lived in Spain and i'm very picky with Tapas but this place surprised me positively, i loved it! The chef's choice gives you the chance to taste a variety of quality and rich on taste tapas and you'll leave very much satisfied with the delicious food and the quantity. Its not the cheapest place but its not overpriced and you'll find a good wine selection (although i would recommend to try their sangria). It is for sure the beast Tapas place in R'dam!

Coming from Spain, it's always difficult to find a good tapas restaurant. I had heard good things…read moreabout this place, but I must admit it was not up to my expectations. The quality of the food was good, but there was not much variety (at least of Spanish tapas) since there were some Italian and Greek ones in the menu as well. Good food and service but maybe a bit overpriced and definitely not a real tapas restaurant!

Fun place. Great food. Best when you go on all you can eat nights…read more Parking is only 1 block away.

This place is closed now, but when it was open, it was such a great option for a date, visitors in…read moretown or just a special occasion restaurant to visit. It's a shame it closed especially since it was so good and very nice interior. Service was really good for a restaurant in the Centrum where the tourists are. The food was a delicious. The prices were fair, with a slight increase toward the end.

We've been to the French Connection 3 times over a period of 1.5 years, each for special occasions…read more The food remains consistently interesting and delicious, and the waitstaff is really friendly and formal without feeling too fancy. We did notice a slight price increase based on the way they've changed up the tasting menu offerings since our last visit, but we still had a special occasion meal with a €55 bottle of wine for €180 total for 2 people. To me, that is very affordable for such a nice meal. What we really love is that the menu is changed drastically each time we visit, so we get to try different items and have a new experience each time. The tasting menu options are very affordable as tasting menus go! Our favorites this time were the mussels as well as the tomatoes with dijon ice cream (yes!). For me, the beef cheek was not so nice. But that's what is great about the tasting menu... there are enough samplings to leave full, even if you skip one or two items or leave a bit of food behind (not that my hubby didn't finish everything I did not!). We are leaving the Netherlands this month back to NYC, and this is one of the restaurants we will miss the most! We know we can get a meal of this caliber, but not at this price, in New York!

Very nice authentic tapas place! Loved it! Be careful not to order too much right away, some tapas…read moreare quite big! About 3 per person is probably more than enough

My friend and I stumbled on to this place by chance and I'm glad we did. The dinner we had here…read morewas EXCELLENT and the staff really couldn't have been any friendlier or more accommodating. I would highly recommend the lamb chops with peppers, chorizo, and potatoes as well as the French toast dessert with ice cream. For those that are wondering, 5-6 plates should be enough to fill up a party of two.
