Restaurant 'Hotel De Goudfazant'

Be aware: this is not a hotel. It’s just a restaurant. The interior is very industrial and with a bit of fantasy you feel in a company party of a big car garage. However, the food is fine and the waiters (m/v) are doing their best. Sometimes it takes some time to get noticed and we had to repeat an order (water, bread and butter: which is excellent btw!). Waiters are often very young. The ambiance is nice and as it is a big industrial hall there is a lot of noice, but we were with very good company and we could hear each other perfectly. We had a great time and fine food, so we recommend this restaurant.

Great restaurant, one of the few in Amsterdam with a good price/quality ratio. Food was good, service also, amazing wine list. It was very suitable for the large group of 10 we were, the place being huge.

A very cool restaurant in a unique and fantastic setting, a former garage turned into a stylish dining space. The service was perfect: quick, attentive and friendly. The food was outstanding, the best we had in Amsterdam. Highlights included homemade bread from their own bakery, a delicious Breton fish soup and two creative vegetarian mains. Everything was of very high quality. We absolutely loved it and had an amazing evening.

Maybe it was a bad day, but I really could not see why this restaurant is highly appreciated. In my view, the food was quite average. I got the vissoep for the entree, in which the taste did not really fulfill its looks. My main was snoekbaars with beurre blanc, which I would not dare to say was not good, but also nothing really special. I also tried bavette from my friend and that was a disaster. Chewy and zero taste, a standard problem of Amsterdam restaurants, just putting an underwhelming jus de veau on top of bavette does not create a good dish. Please just stop with the unsuccessful bavettes. Yes, it is a tasty and relatively cheaper cut, but for some reason no one can cook it. The dessert was also just dessert. I must admit the wine list is quite nice, very good job with that. However, it is one of those restaurants in Amsterdam that just lacks creativity and taste, but the looks are nice.

First, the location of this restaurant is beautiful- it’s right by the river and it’s so nice watching the boats go by. The menu is only in Dutch and that worried me since we don’t understand Dutch, but a quick scan with Google translator and we were able to figure it out. The food was amazing and unique. I loved everything I ordered and the food was excellent quality. I went with my niece and we did the 45€ fixed menu and it was a great value. Trust me on the dessert- if it has the word “mud” in it, it’s chocolate mousse and crumbles on top in a pool of crème fresh. Trust me, you should order this!! Everything was so good.

First of all, Google, it’s not a hotel! It is an amazing, fine dining style French inspired food. In a typical French fashion, this restaurant’s main offer is a 3 course menu (starter, main, dessert) for €45, and each course has 5-6 options (fish/seafood, poultry, pork, calf/beef, veg or so). It is best value to get a menu, but you can also order each dish separately. Portion size is not as large as in France, but still decent. They also serve unlimited homemade bread with butter with no extra fee! So you won’t starve. We loved everything we got, the food definitely did not disappoint! The interior is very unique and hip in a casual way. The place is large, located in a former industrial building with high ceilings, and has a nice river view. At busy times it can be rather loud to have a conversation. Service: We had to wait for our order to be taken, but afterwards the dishes were brought to us rather quickly and with a smile and attention. It was also a cold and windy day, and the only available table was right at the exit so it was cold, but as soon as another table in a better location became available, the waiter offered to move us and we agreed. Very much appreciated! Overall, if you don’t mind lively loud places and like well-made French style food, I definitely recommend this place. We will come again.

Surprisingly, after so many years, this fine establishment hasn't dropped a beat. On the contrary, it feels it gained refinement in its dishes and service. We just hope they can keep it up at this level, the giant room was packed.

Had a nice three course meal. French cuisine. In general food was good and tasty. Restaurant is located in a old car garage. When it's busy it can get quite noisey
