Alba Restaurant & Wijnbar

We made a reservation for 20:00 and we found out that we will be late for about 15 -20 minures. We called the restaurant and they changed the reservation hour to 20:30. We ordered 3 courses menu. The food was tasty, espicially the first dish and the dessert. All was prepated with good style, food was looking fresh and well. We got detailed description about what is special in our dishes. We really enjoyed this restaurant.

the starters were really unpleasant to both of us at the table, but the mains were delicious! Especially the halibut, YUM. A bit more attention in the service is nice when you’re having a multiple course menu, so perhaps more people on staff would help with the vibes and service.

I was really excited to try this place and was left quite disappointed. The food was ok but I would not come back. The tastes were not special enough and a few dishes had too much pepper. We chose for the 3 course menu with the wine pairing. Some of the wines were great and others not too balanced with the food. Unfortunately we had some hair in one of the dishes which is something that can always happen but at a place like this i expect a bit more than just an apology. Also little mishaps like which wine goes with which dish just don't make me wanna go back here unfortunately. Other than that the service was friendly but not really personal.

I loved the atmosphere, plus the staff is very nice. I’d highly recommend trying their chicken, one of the best ever tasted! Although, I didn’t love the wine I had. See you next time!

Brilliant restaurant. Delicious food with friendly knowledgeable service & sparkling personality. Simple ingredients turned into tasty dishes complimented by clever wine pairings. Relaxed ambience with clever attention to detail; Soundproofing under the tables to improve acoustics. Logo on wine glasses mark the level, enabling quick free pours at the table. Best service we had in Amsterdam, which is saying something due to the high standards we experienced in every establishment we visited. I would thoroughly recommend this place and happily return.

It’s a very nice natural wine restaurant with very tasty food. You can either choose single dish, or can take the 3-course option. I went for the 3 course option, and it was definitely worth it. All 3 was very delicious and different than wha you can find anywhere else. We had the orange wine, (I don’t remember its exact name but it was from Puglia) it was a smooth natural wine, if you don’t prefer the pungent taste of natural wines, this one is for you. Atmosphere is very cosy, they have a nice terrace in front, although it’s next to the street, it’s still calm and quiet. All in all, definitely worth a try.

An awesome brunch event organized by Le Petit Brunch. A flavor experience of 3 courses to share, paired with a wide variety of natural wines. Exceptional service and overall a great restaurant

I had a 3 courses menu. Food was good and also with some interesting combination. Wine pairing was average. Service was good/normal. Atmosphere was cozy and basic. Price is the real weakness here. It is too high for what you get. A 3 course menu can generally be 44€, but sizes here are very much on the small end (tiny dessert comes in size of a pre-dessert, or a 8€ bread with anchovies and bean creme as small as an amuse bouche). Ingredients are also not expensive (mackerel & 2 slices of pork belly with some greens) so this cannot be the motivation. Ambiance doesn’t justify this either (ok, it’s central but you set underground and furniture is normal. Nothing bad but again what you pay for?). 3 wines at 27€ is also a bit pushing it for what I got. In short, there is potential on the food but they should aim at getting more competitive. I hope they will improve on that note.
