The 23 Best Restaurants in Amsterdam, the Netherlands | Eater

"The Netherlands’ first West African fine dining restaurant, from Liberian Dutch chef Samuka Kenneh, is a welcome change from the monotonous onslaught of French- and Italian-inspired fine dining in Amsterdam. Set menus offer reimagined West African dishes, with highlights like spicy and tart ampesi (Ghanaian spinach and yam stew) and bofrot, a type of Ghanaian donut, served here with nutmeg ice cream, a crunchy plantain wafer, and fresh citrus. The use of Atlantic fish, like mackerel and sardines, reminds diners that West Africa’s only a boat ride away. Know before you go: You can walk in at lunch, and, for now, you might get lucky enough to be served by Kenneh himself." - Katharine Khamhaengwong

Randomly came across this place after wandering around Amsterdam. Wasn’t too sure what to expect with African food in French style but was delicious. We had a scotch egg with a delicate sauce and spices - all well applied and lobster with some plantain. Was very impressed with the owner, a young fellow who opened a year ago and also with the quality of the cooking. Two glasses wine and water bill was euro 80. There is a tasting menu at 110 euro aswell.

This was probably one of the worst experiences I’ve had in a while. And I don’t say this lightly. We were really looking forward to trying something different, west african fine dining and offering a vegan menu was set to be a great date night. The whole experience (without even commenting on the food) was terrible and calling this fine dining with the price tag is quite ridiculous. From the moment we came in, with a reservation, although the restaurant wasn’t full. The staff told us they gave our table away. After some discussion they end up sitting us down, without menus or drinks for a while. We booked with a note that we were looking to do the vegan menu and I had allergies to peanuts, which we reminded the staff as we ordered. As we ordered wine, I chose the wine while the waiter made a sarcastic comment to my husband “Oh so she decides huh” which was completely inappropriate. He then managed to forget our wine, we had to remind them to serve us. They didn’t present the bottle or let us taste it. As our first dish arrived, it wasn’t vegan which made us worried they didn’t take note of the allergy either. We also had a woman waiter who wasn’t trained in personal space, always reaching across in front of the customer to take plates away. The “funniest” part is when I didn’t finish my bread which was resting on my side bread plate, she picked it up with her bare hands asking me if she could take it away. She didn’t pick up the plate. She picked up the bread straight. Should i have said “no please leave it” after she had touched it? The restaurant itself isn’t furnished with sound absorbing material which made the evening extremely loud although not that busy. It was also really warm with a lack of ventilation which just made things uncomfortable. At some point, one of the cooks yelled “I’m going for a smoke” which we all heard due to the open kitchen. I hate to leave negative reviews but this experience overall almost felt like a prank. Paying a high price tag and calling this fine dining is almost insulting. Would not recommend. Go at your own risk.

Truly amazing experience. Each course was interesting, beautifully plated, and full of rich, complex flavor. The wine pairings were also wonderful which I don’t often find to be the case — typically they’re just an upsell, but these were thoughtful and really added to the experience. We felt like we were in Chef’s home, but we equally felt like we were at a fine dining restaurant. Highly recommend!

Truly a unique tasting experience. Did the tasting menu and Kenneth explained the origins of each dish. Would highly recommend for a wonderful evening.

Wow! What a dining experience. Chef Kenneh is a warm host that takes you on a culinary journey throughout West Africa. The flavors are all very "homey" and approachable. The wine pairing was great, with the flavors of the wine accurately matching the dishes. There were so many highlights from the meal. I think the pair of peppered oysters from the first bites and the Donkwa crumble really stood out.

This restaurant really lived up to it’s name Kenneh, as I could genuinely taste the authenticity through each bite. Great atmosphere, very attentive service, lovely decoration and peculiar wines! A cosy must have experience ✨

A truly wonderful meal. Warm, educative and helpful service. Highest quality product, well prepared, impeccably seasoned and beautifully presented. Every dish impressed but the sea bass is a can’t miss. Well designed and peaceful space great for sharing good conversation. The chef clearly shares his art, energy, passion, knowledge and training through the food.

My husband and I came here a few weeks ago and still talk about how delicious our meal was! We arrived on a whim so we had no reservations and were welcomed soooo graciously. Not only that, but I’m a vegetarian and the kitchen was able to do a last minute vegetarian accommodation that mimicked my husband’s ‘regular’ series— a feat I am especially impressed with as it’s a tasting menu. I can’t wait to go back to Amsterdam just to dine here again!
