"East meets West at this restaurant, where chef Alexander Ioannou spices up familiar flavours with subtle touches of acidity and an interplay of exotic seasonings. This is creative cuisine that packs a punch, but for all the complexity of its flavours, it is very easy to enjoy – just take a look at all the happy faces around you. The chef likes to come to the table to present his signature celeriac dish. You might want to congratulate him on his fabulous creation: He imbues thin slices of celeriac with smoke on the barbecue and combines them with a celeriac cream, a perfectly runny egg and a robust hollandaise sauce. A creamy garlic sauce provides the necessary finesse, shavings of black truffle add their distinctive fragrance. The open kitchen, to the rear of this trendy establishment, means you can watch the spectacle of the chefs at work. This is a laid-back setting place in which to discover a host of new flavours – and that goes for the wine too; the dedicated sommelier will enthusiastically guide you through the list. One final tip: Be sure to book because this place has plenty of fans." - Michelin Inspector

A very disappointing experience. I hope someone from Michelin visits them soon because they definitely do not deserve the star they have. The food was just ok-ish, the “most expensive” dish was the beef, so I don’t understand how the price is justified. The service was incredibly bad, the waiters were very rude. Almost none of the dishes or wines were explained to us, and when we tried to have a small conversation with the waiters, they just walked away from the table and left us talking to ourselves. Clearly, this restaurant does not deserve a Michelin star.

The service was really nice, and they have a great selection of wines. The presentation was on point, and the dishes offered a fascinating mix of flavors—definitely something you wouldn’t try at home. The execution of each dish was intriguing and quite unique. While some in our group found the flavor combinations a bit challenging, it was overall a great culinary adventure. Definitely a nice spot for a special occasion!

Marvelous dinner experience! We went to Sinne Restaurant for a 4 course dinner with wine paring. Food just above all possible grades. Amazing! We enjoyed every course to the last piece. Wine paring is very exotic and unusual, off the beaten trail. Recommend to everyone! Our regards to the chef and the team!

Restaurant Sinne offers fine dining. We opted for the six dinner menu with accompanying wines. Food was great. The wines as well, but a bit played too much on the safe side; the wines could have been a bit more adventurous. Service is good and not too formal. A really good experience.

Really beautiful, flavourful food. Nice staff. Tables on the kitchen end are too close to each other, but it's kind of interesting seeing the chefs work. Six-course menu ended up being like ten courses, none disappointing. A lovely experience!

THEY SAID THEY WILL REFUND GRATUITIES DUE TO UNSATISFACTORY SERVICE BUT THEY DIDNT. By far the worst michelin restaurant. Server went straight into taking orders outside of the tasting menu and didnt ask what we were going to have. Left us clueless for a good 20min because he was too busy with the other customers. Server later left one of the bottles of the wine pairing on the table and it was assumed that its for consumption and we topped up a little in one glass as the service is too slow. And later found extra charges for two glasses of wine that we never ordered. Server didnt mention anything and we paid without noticing and when we did, we called, and asked, they said it was for the wine we topped up during the meal. This was never communicated to us over the 2.5 hour long dinner. It was extremely unprofessional and did not deserve tipping. Requested a refund for the wine and they didnt honor it. In addition, table next to us was too close and server's backside is always tooo close to our food and drinks.

Overall I would avoid this restaurant. The food did not taste bad but the “food science” only seems to detract from the food. You can tell the chefs have talent but the purées and imagined style brings down rather than elevates each dish, the food was too salty, heavy, and over sauced. The presentation is the highlight of this meal, but I can’t taste with my eyes. Though when you realize a lot of the dishes are upside down bowls and cups it just cheapens the experience. While not bad, when paying over 125 euros per person (without drinks), I just expect a higher standard. With so many amazing restaurants in Amsterdam, you’re better off eating elsewhere. P.s. - the staircase down to the bathroom is an accident waiting to happen. If you do the wine pairing be careful or you’ll end up in the hospital

Very relaxed and casual service, food was tasty and creative, with a kimchi and smoked aubergine lamb dish that stood out We celebrated our wedding anniversary and they were really attentive and offered us a small bottle of prosecco and a card from the team which was a very nice touch.
