Not sure what to eat, so stumble upon this restaurant that looks unique and tucked away from the Red Light District. Excellent service, the servers chat with you and explain each and every dish. As its fine dining, expect it to come at a pace as well. The food is tasty and well made. Excellent for a intimate dinner. But... More

We arrived at 8, even though we had reservations at 7:30. Nobody had a problem with it. We were escorted to a nice table upstairs. Like some other European restaurants, the only choice was the 3-course meal, or even more courses. The food was excellent. The service was definitely way above European standards and more like fine dining in the... More

Tucked away off an alley near the famous Red Light District, this gem of a restaurant is an excellent way to spend a Friday evening. The atmosphere is elegant without being showy. The service was professional and friendly without being artificial. The food was unique and exquisite. Yes, nouvelle cuisine but without making you feel ripped off. Great selection of... More

We were recommended this restaurant by a friend of a friend who used to live in Amsterdam. A little pricey, but excellent food and excellent service. All the food was very well put together and very richy and tasty. The waiters were very friendly and jovial, and really knew the meals: they took the time to explain in detail how... More

Most Dutch restaurants do not know the word service. In this restaurant it is the opposite. Very friendly and experienced staff. In combination with good food (small menu but very tasty) does this make it our most favorite restaurant in Amsterdam

We visited with two Dutch friends. We waited nearly 2 hours for our meal which when it arrived was 2 croquettes and a piece of meat which didn't even taste nice. Definitely felt as though we'd been ripped off. Limited choices and very over priced. All in all a hugely expensive mistake.

The owner has a special way to give the right kind of attention and make you feel at home. The restaurant is set in an old building with wonderful authentic yet stylish and modest decoration. Last but not least, you come here to have a good meal! The menu is good, fair prices for the quality offered, and wines are... More

I have lived in Amsterdam for six years and always save Blauw aan de Wal for special guests. Tonight I went for my fifth or sixth time and was very dissapointed. There is a certain arrogance to the place, which I have always felt. How that manifested tonight was with incompetent service. The food was ok, not worth the price,... More

We had an amazing supper here on 29th March. We loved the eccentricity of the decor, perhaps we're not as smart as the other reviewers!! The food was superb and the wine list excellent. The service was good and our waiter was very knowledgeable, helpful and charming. We thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience and would certainly return
