    This place has one of the rudest waiters I have ever seen. The place was all empty and we moved 2 chairs to make it available for 4 people to sit. We were met by " i don't move furnitures at your house so you cannot do that here". Such a shame for a nice place like this to have an employee behave on this way.

    The food and drinks were great but the service was just horrible. The waitress seemed lost, we had to ask to order multiple times. She didn’t seemed open to receive clients. However staff who bring us the drinks were really nice !

    An ideal spot to have lunch! Open terrace door during the summer allows for an inside/outside feel. All ingredients are super fresh and healthy, and menu has vegan/veggie options with salads and sandwiches.

    So where do we start? The restaurant looked very attractive from the outside. Unfortunately the food was very unsatisfactory for the price. I had the beef steak with 200g. The steak was very dry and very small for 200g. There was also coleslaw and fries, as well as herb butter. You can forget about coleslaw, the coleslaw at KFC is better. Fries and herb butter were very good. The starter was cold and tied to the main course. My wife's salad was quite okay. The Dutch beer was good. In total we paid €73 and unfortunately it wasn't worth it for the price. An acceptable price would have been €50 for everything.

    Service is the worst. With 2 tables available they won’t let me have a drink saying it’s 2 people minimum. I understand you need to maximise your profits but this is just ridiculous

    Great food and service next to the canal. We had fast service and friendly efficient service. Caesar salad was huge! And sweet potato fries were excellent! Great place to stop for lunch.

    Great location and you usually don’t need to book a table ahead. When we got there they said we could only order drinks because the kitchen was so busy. So we had to wait 30 minutes until we could order food. I ordered a ice latte, and it arrived without ice which was a bit strange but then I got a new one (tasted a bit too much milk for my taste though). The staff was nice though so I’ll still give this place 3 stars.

    We just popped in for some pre dinner drinks at Herengracht. The ambiance is really good in the place with cute decor. I think the drink prices were a touch spendy but the place is nicer than your normal pub or cafe. Our drinks were solid, I had the mule with the Amsterdam gin something with a J. My wife had an apperol spritz.

    Friendly service, lovely decor, and a nice ambience. The food was also very nice, and the menu offered a range of cocktails. A very pleasant place to spend a few hours.

    Great little spot by the canal on Herrengracht. Awesome coffee, hot chocolate and sweet treats. Discovered by chance and came here twice on a weekender. Very good.

    Great dinner there at our first night in Amsterdam. I assorted the assorted starters with bitterballens and croquettes while Mayisha ordered the steak with truffle fries. The meal was delish and I can’t really think of any complaints. The staff was very nice and they even apologised on their own when it was taking a while for the food to come which I deeply appreciated. They have a nice indoor “secret” garden sort of thing inside the restaurant as well. Very good experience

    The location and atmosphere are great, especially in the summer. But the food… possibly the worst fries I’ve had in my life.

  • 5/5 Edwin M. 8 months ago on Google
    A very nice local restaurant. The food was really good( I recommend the steak tartare) and the atmosphere was vibrant, there is a good outside area for drinks also!

    an hour to wait for an omelet and pita, sorry, it's very long (( the food is delicious, but I value my time... guys, the service should be faster!

    Wonderful place! Amazing draft beer!

  • 4/5 Grace G. 8 months ago on Google
    Food and drinks were all very delicious. Service was extremely attentive and great, the canal view was awesome too. Prices a little high for what you get, but it is to be expected for some restaurants in the location. The mushroom burger was delicious!!

    My friend and I stopped by here for a light bite to eat during our vacation in Amsterdam. The cold sandwiches were excellent. She had the tuna and I had the aubergine and we couldn't stop saying how delicious they were. A great place for a quick bite!

    Backed salmon was raw inside 😵‍💫 the fish was tasteless and drowned in sauce the waiter didn't care a lot Pass by 📌

    Good fondue and watermelon salad! Nicely lit and decorated restaurant. Service was slow so I would recommend allowing plenty of time for dining before any other reservations (45min for main dish to come).

  • 4/5 Bruna A. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice terrace and garden inside

  • 4/5 Noah C. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice smoking area with heaters and rain cover. Good service

  • 3/5 Matthieu Di Pol M. 2 years ago on Google
    3 stars for the view and the location. Food portion are really small and too expensive for Amsterdam standards. Waiters need to be trained on how to properly do their jobs - not putting the responsibility on them. You don't clean a table when people are not done eating...

  • 5/5 Laurène M. 2 years ago on Google
    Very good food. Nice atmosphere. The quality/price is good.

  • 5/5 Dan W. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice little place to escape and have some shots.

  • 5/5 Sean K. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing spot for lunch, borrel, or dinner! Friendly and thoughtful staff, good in English or Dutch. Highly recommend the terrace in the back, covered from rain and heated!

  • 4/5 Camille T. 2 years ago on Google
    The inside of the restaurant is nice and cozy. Despite being near the Herengracht and in a very touristy zone, it's not too crowded. The service was nice enough, however when I ordered a "ginger and orange tea" what I received was three slices of ginger floating in boiling water. Which was a tad disappointing. But apart from that, the deserts were really nice. If you're in the neighborhood, I would recommend stopping by for a drink.

    Amazing place by the canal , good food good place good service 😋👌🏻

  • 4/5 Jeroen M. 2 years ago on Google
    Lovely terrace just next to the canal. Very small tables. The food looks and tastes great. Staff is a little impersonal but the location makes up for it.

  • 2/5 Christos D. 2 years ago on Google
    The waitress came to take out our order (only 2 beers) and we waited for 35 minutes waiting for them. We reminded the waitress about them and she apologized but again she didn't bring them. Overall we waited around 45 mins for couple beers. Very bad service.

    Put some tomato soup in your step.... This place is delicious! Lovely seating by the canal

  • 5/5 Tobias G. 1 year ago on Google
    Perfect for a glas of wine or a beer after a busy day sightseeing... thank you!

  • 5/5 María José A. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice place to have drinks, good attention too

  • 4/5 Gilles C. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice spot along the canal to grab a drink as we did or eat. Food options seemed pretty good as well. Inside is pretty big with an inside open courtyard. Service was good and efficient.

  • 5/5 Florenc P. 1 year ago on Google
    Stumbled for breakfast the day before. Super busy with tables turning quickly. Great place for a drink, to enjoy the view on this crossroad by the canal, and grab a bite. Food was very delicious, mushroom arancini, bitterballen, toste caniballe - everything was delicious. Highly recommend it.

  • 1/5 Felix H. 2 years ago on Google
    The service was super slow and did not pay much attention to the customers. We waited ages for the menu, the food and the bill. Some customers even left after being ignore for ~30min; it was not busy at all. Furthermore the service started to clean the tables while we were still eating. Food was okay but super small portions.

  • 1/5 Kajsa V. 1 month ago on Google • 1 review New
    worst experience i ever had. we were a big group of 10 people who came for beer and some food. We left in batches, and the first three to leave paid their share. The rest of us paid for ourselves. When I was the last one left, she says that everything was not paid, five beers remained. It wasn't on the world map that you could think of checking on the table how many beers we drunk and realize that you made a mistake. We requested receipts and therefore do not receive all, not from the first ones who left. As a restaurant worker myself, I understand that it could go wrong, but being rude, raising your voice and then refusing to check is not okay. the fault is that you did not remove the beer that the first gang took, which you refused to realize or control. 50 euros extra for your mistake. I Will never recommend this place, from the rude service.

    I personally enjoyed the atmosphere of the place. Located in the heart of Amsterdam, Restaurant Herengracht is a welcoming place for locals and tourists. There is no need to explain how good the food is here. Especially, one of the guys who work in this place is very social, making this place even more attractive. Highly recommend this place!

👍👍 The perfect place to enjoy high-quality seafood at a reasonable price. Was surprised to see this large restaurant buzzing at 5pm (both inside and outside!) but after seeing the fresh fish on display and trying the sashimi which just melts in the mouth I understood why. The staff were also very well-...
