A. van Wees Tasting Locality

If you’re looking for a classic Dutch pub (or restaurant), this is the place! You can enjoy a wide variety of beers, including some mixed with rum. The only downside was that the portions were smaller than expected. Still, the service, food, and atmosphere were all great.

We had a family dinner on our vacation, my son wanted to try a dutch fondue and they serve a good one. The atmosphere is cozy and lovely, the service is very good and I must admit the food was very tasty (photos included). * one tiny thing I personally didn’t like is that there was a cat sitting on the bar and walking around freely in a place where you serve food *

Lovely location with some outside seating facing the canal and some cosy seating inside. Food was comforting especially for a windy and cold day. Restaurant gets busy around 12.30pm, but if you go in at 12 on the dot it will be easy to get a seat without a reservation.

Simply authentic. Food was the true roots of Dutch cuisine in a simple yet delicious way. The OLD GENEVER TASTING was special with great & detailed, yet storytelling way of introducing the drink by the kind servant . Enjoyed every moment. Thank you.

Great experience! The atmosphere and decor felt authentic and homely. We tried the jenever tastings and they were all unique and enjoyable. It was quite busy and noisy, but if that does not bother you I can thoroughly recommend!

Got here just after 7pm on a Wednesday and found a table outside for 1 immediately. It's a very popular place with great view over the canal. I loved sitting there reading and people watching for a couple of hours. I had a glass of wine, a small platter of snacks and the cheesecake for €30. Staff was lovely and the vibe was really cool. Exactly what I needed after a long day!

I often pass by this place and always thought that it looks cute. But often wonder if it is a ‘touristy’ place. Yesterday, passed by this place again with a friend and we decided to walk in for lunch. We were so pleasantly surprised! The food was outstanding. The short rib meat was so tender and tasty. So was the traditional Stoofvlees met fries. We would’ve ordered more stuff if we had the time. Service was great too. Super friendly and thoughtful. We also had the pleasure of having live music on the terrace, which completed the whole atmosphere of our impromptu lunch. Keeping this one on my list for friends who are visiting me in Amsterdam.

The food was good from start to finish. We ordered the Dutch pea soup and tomato soup, both were rich, flavorful, and perfect for a cozy meal. The chicken satay, vlammetjes, stew with fries, and the sandwich were all equally delicious, well-prepared, and full of taste. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the beer recommendations were spot-on. The place has a warm, inviting atmosphere that makes you want to stay longer and enjoy another round. One quirky and fun detail: the entrance to the toilet is actually a huge pipe. The decor of this place is great. Overall, it was a great visit with delicious food, good drinks, and friendly service. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a cozy and authentic Dutch experience in the heart of Amsterdam!
