Rascasse

What a disappointment! At first glance, this place might look like a restaurant, but it's actually a fish store with a dining area in the corner. They tried to design it nicely, but there is no music, no atmosphere, and unfortunately, a strong fish smell that seems to be the reason the front door is left open, making the interior uncomfortably cold. The staff was inattentive: they forgot basic things like bringing cutlery, confused parts of our order, and even added a drink to the bill that we never ordered. As for the food, while the fish and seafood were fresh, the preparation left a lot to be desired. Everything was bland, lacking in seasoning, and the execution was poor: some of my shrimps were undercooked, while others were burnt. It might seem like a good value for money at first, but in reality, it just doesn’t deliver. Sadly, I wouldn’t recommend this place.

The best food in Amsterdam. Seafood is fresh, prices are reasonable, and the menu has everything you could ever want. Absolute must-visit spot.

I absolutely love Rascasse, their fish is very tasty and their dishes are perfectly seasoned for an insanely reasonable price! I especially enjoy their paella and squid!

The fish is quite fresh, and the food portions are generous. However, the waiting time was much too long, which affected the overall dining experience.

Delicious meal. Pictured are the garlic butter prawns and the linguini vongole. Linguini vongole is my death row meal, and after eating this delightful meal I would be quite content if i died right now. The satisfaction of my final meal on earth would have been met. The sauce was full of flavour and umami and the linguini was well cooked. It would have been handy if some salt n pepper were on the tables. But the people spoke English which was nice.

Oh my such amazing food. The seafood is so fresh. We had a fish plate each + fried shrimp with sauces. Portions are generous and taste is excellente! It was also very quick. Will defintely return.

Super friendly service and advice not to order too much, in the end it was still too much… We ordered a platter for three on advice despite being four of us, but he platter was ginormous so we couldn’t finish it. Everything was fresh, some was a bit overfried and a little to oily, would be better to grill more of it. But great value for money. Drinks selection a bit thin, especially as they don’t have a license to sell alcohol, a real beer would have been nice or a chilled white wine. Not sure if you can bring.

Tapas Saturday ❤️ Small restaurant/cantine serves tapas, more seafood tapas typical Spanish pescaderia. Casual ambiance, good food what else do you need. Good service too 😋😂 Hidden gem in the east of Amsterdam. 5 of 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Update oktober 2024 Still a great place for fish, we come here 1 or 2 times a month.
