Gertrude Rest. & Bar

My date and I both had the Fish Cakes and we both ordered the Pork Belly and then shared the Chocolate, Fig with Olive oil desert. The fish cakes were very good and a nice portion. The pork belly is perhaps the best I’ve ever had although, I’d forgo the pancetta as it was too salty but again the pork belly itself which was served with a perfectly cooked scallop was sublime. The desert was a miss for me. It was a kind of mousse that I think could have used some tempering. It was served with fresh figs and also fig jam or compote which was too much fig and the dish was missing the olive oil. The other complaint I would make is that I ordered bread and butter and I am fine to pay for it but it was not nearly enough for the meal. So when asking for a bit more bread you are charged again for 1/4 of a baguette and a tab of the most basic butter, not smoked butter as the menu online says. The service was really lovely. The ambiance excellent. The whole feeling of the restaurant and the care that is going into the dishes is really felt. I will surely return. If I could give 4.5 instead of 4 I would.

Great place. Lovely staff kudos to Felix and Tygo. Al la carte and 5 star chef's menu. Food is amazing. Meat, fish and vegi options. They switch menu every 2 to 3 months. They also have a great wine menu. With less known wines. Make a reservation because it can be very busy. I summer there is a nice terrace. I have Tinnitus and the acoustic is also nice if it is not to busy.

Gertrude’s is a lovely neighbourhood restaurant with just the right cozy vibe for a chilly January evening. We had the chef’s menu, which the waiting staff kindly helped to adjust to our pescatarian palates and it was outstanding. Very inventive with flavour combinations we had never tried before. This restaurant is like a warm hug. We loved it.

My favorite restaurant, with an ambiance that feels special and nourishing for the soul just like its delicious food. The team is fast, warm, and welcoming you should definitely go at least once and treat yourself. ✨🍽️

The restaurant is really cozy, atmosphere nice and intimate and food was incredibly tasty with good portions as well. I loved to have the choice between menu and a-la-carte. Prices in line with Amsterdam. Waitresses were lovely, very attentive and prepared. The only two downsides were the acoustic of the place, as it's quite noisy when it's full and it's difficult to talk and also they could serve a little bit more wine in the glass. But overall definitely highly recommended and will come back for sure.

The food was great. We tried pike perch, short ribs and veal entrecote. Desserts can be improved. Atmosphere and ambience are also wonderful.

I was recommended this restaurant by a local colleague, and it turned out to be one of the highlights of my trip to Amsterdam! Gertrude near the canal and conveniently close to a metro station, the location is perfect for a relaxed evening out. The restaurant has a charming Parisian vibe with its intimate and thoughtfully curated menu. I was pleasantly surprised by the flavors – everything exceeded my expectations. The oysters were fresh and delicious, and the fish cake had a nostalgic flavor that reminded me of some Asian dishes, adding a unique twist. Having my last dinner in Amsterdam here made it a truly memorable experience, and it’s a place I’ll always remember fondly.

Fantastic experience at Gertrude. Really clever, fresh, nice. We had the chefs menu, which was a great variety of Meat, veggies, Fish - with all courses being top quality. Also, super friendly service, and nice atmosphere with warm and dim light. Fair prices.
