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.

When he brought us the bottled iced teas, he also brought us two glasses of water... So I guess you only get water if you order another drink? Tips for ordering: The "rib eye pork" pieces were super rare. Eat at your own risk. Don't order paella unless you have 2 hours to eat dinner. The paella took 1 hour and 30 minutes to come out!! When we ordered, the female server said the paella takes 20 minutes.

What a nice find. Most Spanish places use quite a bit of salt in the food. Barceloneta uses quite a…read morebit more finesse with a modern take on Spanish tapas. The barceloneta salad is a must. Huge prawns, fresh mushrooms, strawberries and tomatoes all perfectly dressed. Refreshing and satisfying. The paella is good with loads of seafood in it. My only criticism was the rice was a bit over cooked and came out mushy. The place inside is very comfortable and bordering elegant in spots. I would love to come back and try other dishes.

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!

We ordered the squid special which came with squid made two ways, grilled topped with garlic parsley oil and tempura fried tentacles. Dish was beautifully presented. Tempura tentacles cooked perfectly and tender to the bite. Grilled oyster mushrooms were made well also. Grilled and served with same garlic parsley oil found on the squid. We also ordered the spicy chorizo. Presented bite sized in spicy oil. Casing was perfect, nugget sized so perfect bar food. Bit too oily for my liking, best paired with bread. Overall, great place for lunch or dinner and a small crowd.

I don't have Indonesian food where I live, so was excited to try this in Amsterdam. I thought the dishes were all flavorful and gave a good mix of meat, vegetable, and rice dishes. The individual servings were small, but filling enough because of the heavy coconut milk used in most dishes. 1 star off: The attitude of the waitstaff was abysmal. First of all, their website does not offer reservations and they rarely answer their phones. So my family and I arrived at restaurant opening to get a table. The first thing they said to us was "Do you have a reservation? If you don't, I can only give you a table if you get out by 6:30PM." in a stern way. We said okay. The group that came after me also raised the issue that no one at the restaurant answers their phone for reservations. The waitstaff did not respond to that, but begrudging seated them. 1 star off: While we were ordering food, the waitstaff noticed that my son had a water bottle with him, and proceeded to give him a lecture that water bottles are not allowed and that we have to order water from them. He is a teenager...he does not know he was supposed to conceal his water bottle at this restaurant. We all ordered drinks, including water, but the experience left my family feeling unwelcomed.
