Don't Pass Up this Gem!

What makes Graham's Kitchen great other than the great food, the killer drinks, and the excellent wine selection? The chance to interact with Graham and his eager and motivated staff. My wife and I had dinner with Graham on our last night in Amsterdam and...were so thankful we did. The restaurant is cozy and classy--it's the kind of place everyone who likes dining out wishes they could have in their neighborhood...refined, but not pretentious...excellent service, but not smothering. Overall, we had a great evening with Graham. We can't wait for the pandemic to end so we can return to Amsterdam and support great chefs like him!More

Amazing food and wine at the unprententious, relaxing Graham's Kitchen

My partner and I went to Graham's for a birthday dinner and what an amazing experience! I am usually put off by high-end restaurants as they tend to be a bit stuffy, but Graham's has a very relaxed and welcome atmosphere. We were seated directly...and received constant, but not overwhelming, attention from the servers and sommelier. We decided on the 4-course meal, as one can choose from 3-6 courses with proportions adjusted accordingly. My partner is vegetarian so she was able to choose from a vegetarian menu, while I went with both vegetarian and fish dishes. Everything we had was amazing! Well prepared and balanced. Graham actually came over to our table a couple of times to talk to us about the dishes. That was so nice as he is very chill and fun to talk to. My partner went with red wine, which was excellent, but I decided on the wine pairings. I have to say that they were hands-down the best wine pairings I have ever had at a restaurant! All of the wines chosen not only complimented the dishes well, including the dessert wine with the magnificent cheese selection, but they were so unique and delicious that I still can't stop thinking about them. Please hold on to your sommelier...he is incredible! Considering the quality of the food and wine, the price was very reasonable. Great atmosphere and just a very welcoming vibe. We will definitely be going back to Graham's amazing cuisine and positively fabulous wine pairings.More

Unique and amazing food and wine pairings in a cozy, hip setting

What a beautiful setting for an amazing dining experience. The place lacks the stuffiness so often deterring from a truly enjoyable meal. From being greeted by the chef and owner itself, over the amazing tasting menu choices for both meat/fish lovers and vegetarians, to the...wonderful service and inspired wine pairings, we had a birthday dinner to remember with joy and happiness. To be brought each dish by Graham with mouth watering explanations of how each dish was crafted heightened the anticipation and enhanced the experience. And the dishes did not disappoint. And each glass of wine was brought by the sommelier with an opportunity to taste first. All of the wines from appetizer over the main to dessert were so thoughtfully paired that each bite was enriched and even more enjoyable. Loved the cozy ambience and the colorful mural. We were so well taken care of in an unobtrusive and caring way, we will definitely be back. The tasting menus will change, but we had four out of the six options and they were all wonderful, fresh, inventive and a joy to eat. My husbands favorite was the skatewing and mine the tofu tempura with lovely citrus notes, a great crunch and a bed of kohlrabi prepped almost like a mix between pasta and slaw. Lovely!More

Worth a return visit

We had an enjoyable visit sitting outside and watching the world go by. Food and service was very good, the highlight was the veal course...although all other courses were also very recommendable. Noticeably we didn’t have to remind service that our desserts took a little...too long, staff recognised it and apologised before we asked. Very good !More
