A. van Wees Tasting Locality

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!

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!

We sat upstairs for dinner and had a wonderful time. The food, service, ambiance, and energetic atmosphere was an enjoyable delight. We were a group of 7 and they accommodated us very nicely. Thank you for everything.

We absolutely loved the good at this traditional venue. First we had a fish platter and burrata as an entry, followed by a cheese fondue with steak, vegetables, and a very delicious meat stew with potato and cabbage. We finished our meal with some delicious strawberries in mouse and a cheesecake. Food, service, and ambience were top! I would highly recommend if you want to try traditional dutch food.

Possibly the best meal we had during our week in Amsterdam. Owner and staff were very nice and care a lot for the comfort of their guests. Resident cat is too cute for words. Dessert was amazing.

Amazing experience! The place really brings on the local feeling and the dishes are amazing! We had the traditional “Bitterbalen” and Mussels. For Mussels-fan like me they have real big mussels! It was exquisite! The staff is more than kind and very attentive. They did also adapt the food to my gluten intolerance! I will keep that address for my next trip to Amsterdam! Thanks to the staff 🙏🏻

This place literally fell in our path… Busy and boisterous and obviously a favourite on the map. It was early Friday evening the sun was shining, beers and Geneva was flowing. Dutch tradition of ‘head butt’ - (small beer and large shot of Geneva to be drunk with your mouth on the rim of the glass! Gawd the stuff of legendary hangovers!!! ) This is the home of Geneva after all. The crowd were up for a good time - a mix of tourists, ex pats and young Dutchies all taking advantage of Friday vibes and amazing weather. I introduced Mark to Bitterballen - deep fried balls of cheese/ meat in breadcrumbs that they scoff by the truck load with beer in these parts…. They hit the spot ‘dirty and greasy’. We decided to stay for dinner as the food looked great. We both ordered Moules Frites, a huge pot of steaming Dutch spicy molluscs landed with chunks of bread and delicious salty fries. Service was friendly and attentive with plenty of Dutch banter, beers and Gruner Veltliner flowed and we exited into the beautiful city happy with our bellies full. Thanks team x

They have Jenever tastings that is the only way to try them all. The inside is historically beautiful and very unique unlike anywhere else I've seen in Amsterdam. And weird, but the bathrooms look like you're going to a large whisky vat. Very cool.
