MOS

A very refined dining experience overall, with creative dishes and excellent execution. • The venison was tender and flavorful, from a young stag, with just the right chew. • The deep-sea fish was fresh, paired with a foamy seafood sauce that was both inventive and memorable. • The veal sweetbread with black truffle was the highlight of the meal — absolutely delicious. • The strawberry dessert provided a refreshing and elegant finish. The only drawback was the opening “first bite” — the flavor was odd, and a cold soup that followed didn’t quite work for me. Aside from that, everything else was excellent and beautifully presented.

First time enjoying our time at a Michelin restaurant and the results showed, what standard a Michelin Restaurant has. Truly a Restaurant that lives up its star. To get a better picture of what I mean: Picture this, you‘re eating having a small dish, however, each bite you take gives you 2-5 different types of flavors at once. This place also serves the best ice cream I have ever eaten: ginger ice cream topped with vanilla ice cream, mixed dutch cherrys. Truly a taste I‘ve never experienced before Sone dishes were gorgeous styled, but too salty, mainly the fish-dishes and therefore unfortunately The servers and owner were excellent and nice

Creative and stylish tasting menu! We had the six course wine-pairing and I have to say the combinations were very well chosen. Particularly the Chardonnay and the Greek dessert wine. Presentation was outstanding throughout. Dishes started with a light touch: apple with yellowfin tuna sashimi and trout flan with crab. The only jarring note of the evening was the switch to a heavier duck roll that the red wine pairing couldn’t quite prepare us for. But the veal that followed was a highlight. I also recommend the milk bread. It wasn’t supposed to taste strongly as a complement, but was delicious. Highly recommend.

Had a really nice dinner at MOS. The menu feels well thought out — everything we tried was delicious and made with care. What stood out most was the manager. Super friendly and welcoming, happy to chat and answer questions without making us feel rushed. It added a personal touch that you don’t get everywhere. Only thing I’d tweak is the music — it didn’t quite match the atmosphere. But all in all, a place I’d happily come back to.

We had a lovely lunch at Mos. There were very few other guests, so service was good and it was quiet. Great views of the Ij. Food was delicious. The (vegetarian) amuse bouche we all got at the start was particularly delicious. My only small disappointment was that my vegetarian menu items did not taste or look quite on par with the regular menu, or even with the vegetarian items served to everyone. I appreciate the challenge of catering to vegetarians, but equating a bean and potato cassoulet with venison was a bit disappointing. Likewise fried artichoke next to a (by all accounts sublime) fish course. Again, can imagine it’s a challenge, but I did not have quite the same wow experience as the others. Still recommend, and would go back again.

The food was 5-6/10 across 5 courses menu The service was at maximum average, with waiters messing up who is getting which drink, putting plates on top of table napkins making plates uneven. Also it was sort of strange that men were served before women at the table 😑 I mean it could be fine in the restaurant around the corner in your neighbourhood, but this is not what you expect from 1 Michelin star

Had an amazing experience at Mo’s Restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious, every dish was full of flavour and beautifully presented. The staff were incredibly attentive and genuinely lovely, making us feel so welcome throughout our visit. Thank you to the whole team for the fantastic food and wonderful service. We’ll definitely be coming back!

Our meal at MOS was an unforgettable culinary exploration. The preset menu was beautifully prepared, with each course offering something creative and delicious. They did an outstanding job accommodating our gluten allergy—not by simply leaving things off the plate, but by thoughtfully modifying dishes so we could fully enjoy the experience. The service was excellent—attentive without being overbearing—and the location provides a fun, different view of Amsterdam that adds to the charm. We did have two small complaints. First, the dinner stretched to 4 hours, with some gaps of 30 minutes or more between courses that made the pacing feel a little awkward. Second, there was an issue with our umbrellas—staff retained them for us, but we missed retrieving them, and unfortunately, our follow-up email asking for help went unanswered. Even with these minor drawbacks, the food, care in preparation, and ambiance made this a memorable night out. Worth a visit if you have the time (and patience) to savor a very slow, elegant meal.

I went during lunch when it wasn't very busy. The meal was very pleasant and since the weather was nice, the view of the water was great. There were european and asian flavors but overall each dish was pretty solid.

I finally visited Mos Amsterdam. The experience exceeded all expectations. Innovative and flavorful dishes, paired with incredible service. The views are great of the IJ. Definitely will be back often when in Amsterdam.

This place is excellent! One of my favorite places in Amsterdam! Every dish was unique and creative packed with flavor. Definitely will be coming back here in the future.

The Michelin Star is well deserved. Everything was amazing, and the attention to detail by staff was great. My companion for lunch was pregnant - the staff kindly pointed out that they could accommodate everything to ensure it fit within her dietary needs, and they lightly confirmed this every time they brought a plate out to quell any concerns from her end. It was very kind of them, and it was the highest quality food on top of the service!

My only regret is that we were so loopy (our first night in Amsterdam) we forgot to bring cash for tips for the wonderful staff. For you Americans who are wondering what to do... 10% in cash left on the table after the meal is probably fine. They don't typically offer you the opportunity to add your tip to the credit card total.. So to MOS Amsterdam- mea culpa, mea culpa... But to make up I can offer this- the food we had here was THE BEST MEAL we've had since dining at State Bird Provisions in San Francisco several years ago. Don't get me wrong, we've had absolutely wonderful meals in all the places we've been (and of course we live in the food mecca that is Manhattan) but MOS Amsterdam could easily best the finest, fine dining, Michelin-starred, highly heralded "institution" in NYC any day of the week (and three times on Sunday). To wit...the sheer audacity of the flavor combinations kept us guessing all night long. Every aspect of every dish (we had the tasting menu) was its own masterpiece. You could take what looked like a minor part of your dish, taste it on its own, and be totally blown away. I feel like I should leave you in suspense so you can taste it for yourself if you happen to be in Amsterdam (check out the pictures ;). But I think I'll leave you with this- I'm not a mackerel fan, or a pistachio fan (actually don't like pistachio on its own), or raw fish fan really AT ALL... but I ate all three in one dish on one plate... and it took every aspect of my being to keep myself from licking that plate. If I had one complaint--- why do you have a bar if you don't have a bartender??? But enjoyed my G&T's just the same. Why this place is not on everyone's "Best of..." list I have no clue... try it and let me know if you disagree.

First Michelin restaurant and it was well worth it. The views, the food, the service, everything was phenomenal.

Everything was beyond fantastic. We were seated on the second floor and had a great view. Since we were there for a business dinner, the menu was a fixed tasting menu. We were greeted with champagne and dinner was paired with the amazing wines. The wait staff did an excellent job explaining each dish as it was placed on the table. Each dish was beautifully plated like a masterpiece and had layers of flavor. I can't say enough about how amazing this dinner was.

The food was spectacular, so was the service and our view was of the Amsterdam harbor. What could be better than that?

This place is amazing! What an adventurous dining experience. The chef is intimately involved - he came to our table 2-3 times to insure the quality and taste of our food as well as provide background info on what the inspiration was for each course. I had the best Chianti wine I have ever had at this restaurant. The service is excellent - you are promptly greeted at the door by all the staff and the hostess will hang your coat personally. It's too hard to explain which one was my favorite - the tastes were so diverse. Check out the photos and admire the art and presentation of this meal. I highly recommend this place for anyone visiting Amsterdam. It seems to be very well known by locals but not tourists.

We were looking forward to this restaurant based on the reviews and my research, but the overall experience fell short. It was not the food. While there could have been more greens, the protein based dishes - we ordered exclusively seafood - were exceptional, albeit a bit rich. Also a plus that the head chef visited our table to discuss the menu. Where MOS fell flat was the service. Despite booking well in advance through a local well known hotel, we were seated in the back In a traffic area. Better options existed. While I get the tag team approach to table service, it was way too casual at MOS. Diners at this level of restaurant need to know one particular server is looking out for them. We were left feeling abandoned at times. The sommelier circled our table repeatedly and never introduced himself. Would recommend Taiko and Bolenius for a more complete and special experience.

Good food and service. Well deserved 1 Michelin Star but still room for improvements. We did the six course tasting menu with a few wine pairings. I liked that you can pick and choose which courses you'd like to have a pairing with and it wasn't an all or nothing option.

I've had the distinct pleasure of dining at MOS on a few occasions and have to say it's consistently one of the best dining experiences I've had. Chef Egon is extremely accomplished and his inventive menus never disappoint. I can't really recommend any one dish as the menu changes so much but I will say to make sure you do one of the tasting courses and leave room for dessert. Unlike many Michelin starred restaurants, MOS leaves pretension out of the mix and actually gives guests a substantial amount of food. It's a breath of fresh air. For wine, look no further than to Henry, then resident sommelier at MOS. He really knows his stuff and can offer you a variety of suggestions that will pair easily with your entire meal. I would highly recommend a wine pairing dinner if you have the time for it. It's truly amazing. MOS is an exquisitely designed restaurant with comforting tones of green and blue accented with touches of copper. The decor reflects the beauty of the waterfront on which the restaurant is situated on and manages to be inviting yet stylish. Pay attention to the dish ware used as well, you'll definitely want to sneak some home with you (but please don't!). I know that Amsterdam has its fair share of amazing places to eat but be sure to add MOS to the top of your list. You will not be disappointed.

Another wonderful restaurant in Amsterdam. Awesome service, both the head chef and owner came and greeted every table. Formal but not stuffy, great location with amazing views. The tasting menu transitioned nicely with a refreshing finish. Every dish was matched with perfection. Great experience.

Amazing dining experience in Amsterdam. We sat outside in beautiful weather with perfect ambiance. The servers were so accommodating of a gluten free allergy- every single server would confirm how the dish was gluten free without even needing to be asked, providing ultimate confidence. The chef individually comes out to greet you as you start your dinner. In terms of the food, it was top notch. Really creative and innovative dishes with lots of complex play in flavors and especially textures of the food. We couldn't stop saying wow with each bite of every dish. We really loved literally every single aspect of the meal. We did the 6 course with wine pairing. It was a lot of food and full pour wines. Maybe a 4 course would have sufficed but I am glad to have tasted all that they had to offer. I highly recommend the place. It definitely rivals and exceeds several three star Michelin's I've been to.

Beautiful scenery accompanied by an exceptional meal. The chef came out & talked with each table, explaining different courses. We had the 6-course menu which included various fish & poultry. Some in our party decided on the wine pairing. It was so fun seeing the colorful dishes, and sampling all the food. Everything was presented artfully, and tasted wonderful. We enjoyed the whole experience. The entire staff was pleasant, informative and personable. It was a very memorable night.
