Absolutely spectacular meal from start to finish at Bolenius…read more As part of our vacations, we like to dine at a michelin star restaurant for at least one meal. I am a little bit restricted by my vegetarian diet which is what ultimately directed us to Bolenius as they have a plant-based option. If you're visiting Amsterdam as a tourist, it's a bit of a trek from the city center but pretty quick and easy to get there by the metro, which was our mode of transportation. Our reservation was at 7pm but it was such an incredible experience, we literally did not leave the place until, I want to say like 10:30pm. The interior decor is unique and vibes with the brand pretty well. The service was excellent from start to finish. It is definitely a team effort as we interacted with many different servers who were all kind, wonderful, and welcoming. Everything was thoroughly explained to us. I went the vegetarian tasting menu route and GF did the standard tasting menu. We also accepted most of the additional add ons like wine pairing, their recommended beet dish, and cheese selection at the end of the meal. I was grateful to see a variety of ingredients used for the vegetarian menu instead of just the standard mushrooms 100 times over and over again that is common at other establishments. They also employed many different textures and innovative presentations to the dishes including the foam, which I'm pretty sure is required for a restaurant to get a star, but also things like a shaved and latticed ASPARAGUS dish. The dishes were, as you would probably expect, like works of art. Like I said above, I have somewhat of a history dining at Michelin starred restaurants but I think it's safe to say that this was the best experience I have ever had and cannot recommend it enough.

The worst food and the worst service I've ever experienced in Amsterdam. The second course of my…read morefood had an insect in it. There was no attempt made by the staff to rectify this in any way, whatsoever. I understand that these things happen. Any attempt at a genuine apology would have prevented me from writing this review. There wasn't an offer of a beverage, or any discount to the meal. They could have chosen not to charge us for the two bottles of water. There was an optional course ordered which I attempted to cancel (naturally, I lost my appetite after seeing a live insect crawling in the second course), which they informed me that they could not cancel without charging me. They could have offered the extra course for free. There was the option to add a spoon of caviar to another dish for extra charge. I explicitly asked whether that could be on the house, you know, given the aforementioned insect on a previous course. Not only was this denied, the server did not even bother to acknowledge the comment. Lastly, when the check arrived, I informed them that there was zero attempt made to rectify the mistake of the insect. All we got was an apology that the staff was not able to pick up on the signals of our dissatisfaction- as if the bug, the request to cancel the optional dish free of charge, the willful ignorance over the caviar, and my complaint after getting the bill were not enough. Even without the insect incident, the food was phenomenally subpar for this city. My recommendation would be to never visit this restaurant. The food is terrible, the conditions are unsanitary, and the service is appalling.

Very cool spot to eat some food. I got the 'Lamshoarma de luxe' which was very tasty. The meat was…read moretender, and the veggies were so fresh. Also, the atmosphere was very cozy and nice.

Wow! This is an amazing new restaurant on the very popular Haarlemmeerstraat in the Centrum…read more The atmosphere is very cozy, fun and relaxing with a nice wood handmade interior. They specialize in sandwiches, salads and steaks, the triple threat combination ranks number one in my book in Amsterdam. I started with the Hummus, smoked salmon with horseradish sauce and caprese, mozzerella with pesto. All incredibly fresh, delicious, well presented and served quickly. The portions were big enough that I had to take home the rest in a doggie bag. The main course was the ribeye steak with salad/artichoke hearts, beans....so yummy and filling. The price was only 16 euros for the steak which would easily cost over 25 in other restaurants. I appreciated how large and healthy the side salad was as well. Overall, I recommend this restaurant as the best choice for steaks, salads and sandwiches in Amsterdam.

We started with some bread and special humus and for our first course I chose the coquille. It was superb. The sister of my girlfriend had the tompoes with figs and goatcheese. Also excellent. For our main course we had Karous a spicy seabass filet with couscous and my girlfriend had the Tagine d'agneau. This is lam with prums and coriander! I tasted both and the lam was very tasty and tender and the fish was perfect. We had a grand dessert with Hadia, Crème Brûlée, ice Cream and fruits. I will be back again for more and I highly recommend this restaurant.

My Raviolis al Pesto came out on top, followed by the Gnocchi, the Ravioli al Tartufo, and lastly, the Pappardelle di Cervo. We all agreed that the Raviolis al Pesto had a pleasant balance of flavors, while the Pappardelle di Cervo had a strong aftertaste from the wild boar. As for desserts, both selections were delightful. The tiramisu was our son's all-time favorite, and the panna cotta was soft, subtly sweet, and refreshingly light. The dessert portions are perfect for sharing. Het restaurant ligt op een prachtige locatie met een fijne sfeer en uitstekende service. In een groep van vier hebben we onze gerechten gerangschikt op basis van voorkeur. Mijn Ravioli al Pesto stond bovenaan, gevolgd door de Gnocchi, de Ravioli al Tartufo en als laatste de Pappardelle di Cervo. We waren het er allemaal over eens dat de Ravioli al Pesto een aangename balans van smaken had, terwijl de Pappardelle di Cervo een sterke nasmaak van wild zwijn had. Wat betreft de desserts, beide keuzes waren heerlijk. De tiramisu was de absolute favoriet van onze zoon, en de panna cotta was zacht, subtiel zoet en verfrissend licht. De porties desserts zijn perfect om te delen.

The sign said they…read morewere known for their soups but I got their sandwich instead - should've have gotten the soup instead! I'll explain. I got their avocado chicken and veggies sandwich. While it wasn't the best (guac. was OK at best - but I'm from CA, so I'll let it slide), it was quite filling, and for the prices in Amsterdam (which I forget now), it was quite reasonable. The server lady also must have noticed I was kind of cold, because she gave me a sample cup-size of their soup. I never asked for this, but really appreciated the attentiveness and gesture of the server. The soup was a butternut squash soup and IT WAS SO GOOD. I would never have had thought of butternut squash soup being good (i've had bad ones in the past apparently), but it was seriously perfectly sweet, rich, and creamy. I saw the bowls that people were getting and they were quite large. I think it would have been a better choice... lol. All in all, for the alright food, but extra-over the top attentive service which wasn't standard in Europe as I travelled, 4 stars it is.
