    A truly great dining experience! Such a high level of understanding of the product and awareness of flavors can be found only in leading European restaurants. Me and my wife had the great pleasure of tasting the 7 courses menu. Each dish was an amazing adventure and encounter with the essence of Dutch cuisine in a modern version. The compositions of flavors and structures were perfectly matched, and many of them were really surprising. An additional advantage is the excellent selection of Dutch wines, which perfectly harmonized with the taste of the dishes. The real gem is the level of service and commitment of all staff. Our hostess was simply wonderful and had detailed knowledge of the food and wine served - it was a great pleasure to be served by such a nice and professional person. Kitchen staff were great as well and very willing to chat about their work and food. The restaurant also has a very nice decor which creates a friendly atmosphere. This is a place worth visiting, you won't be disappointed for sure! For us, it is a must-see on the culinary map of Amsterdam and we will certainly appear here on our next stays. Thank you very much for a wonderful evening!

    Must go! Really nice, tasty and well presented food! We went for the 3 courses menu (around 37€) and was perfect. The dessert is really surprising with the cucumber marshmallow. The staff is really nice and welcoming. The chef brought and explained all dishes which is nice. I will definitely come back!

    Overall very nice experience. The staff is very welcoming and pleasant, the atmosphere is cosy and quiet (lounge music in the background allowing people to talk without shouting). We did the 8-course menu, all dishes were well presented however two dishes didn’t meet our expectations due to the veggies not being very tasty. We opted for Dutch wines which was an interesting discovery, though a bit overpriced (min 13€ a glass) for the wine quality. One last point is to make sure you get a proper table (vs high table/chai) as the chair back is not very comfortable for a 3h dinner, we woke up with back pain the next day…

    Best high standing restaurant in Amsterdam! I discovered Floreyn during Covid with their take away offer, which was of great quality. Dining in was even better which I did not think possible. The waiter was careful to our needs. We loved to be served our food in our French home language by chef Cyril, who had a lot of nice anecdotes to share about the dishes. I chose the 8-course menu and each dish was carefully thought off and with really interesting flavours. I highly recommend.

    By focusing on the original of the raw material, it creates the soft and natural taste and flavor. The pairing with Dutch wine was a good expression of the Netherlands. It was so delicious and good experience. I'll definitely visit here next time. I think it would be better to get a better rating and grade. I think you'll be registered with the Michelin Guide soon.

    From their website: "Due to the continuous staff shortage and rising costs, Floreyn had to close its doors permanently as of October 1. We would like to thank all guests, suppliers and employees for a wonderful time!"

    Floreyn is a resturant which focuses on Dutch cuisine and my first pricy cuisine experience in Amsterdam. The place looks good and makes one feel comfortable. There is easy access to the bar for drinks, as well as a good view towards the kitchen from any table. I had the pleasure of having the 6 course menu. Each dish was different, but full of flavour, with a definite description of the plates served. For starters, I chose oysters which I found quite tasty, followed by a variety of fish and duck meat dishes. I enjoyed very much the raw egg in broth with the sweet crisp potatoes on the side, the duck meat and liver haven't been my favourite, but the amazing dessert of frozen apple slices, ice cream and meringue were making everything sweeter. One of the fish dishes with scallop and white beetroots was disappointing, as the beetroots were cold. The service, in that evening, was a little bit slow as it seemed the staff was outnumbered by the amount of guests, and was a little late with serving. On the other hand, I appreciated that as a person who doesn't drink alcohol, I was prepared a very tasty virgin cocktail. All in all, I think the resturant is worth visiting for the culinary education if you are in Amsterdam and the tasty fish.

    We had a magical experience at Floreyn. Each course was outstanding, and the wine pairings worked perfectly. Right from the start, each course had a theme, and all elements on the plate served a purpose. The staff were very welcoming, and late changes to the menu were easily provided. There is a vegetarian menu.

    From start to finish a lovely experience. The food is interesting, not just tasty. Highlighting Dutch food with a very modern twist, pairing ingredients that you wouldn’t think work but do (skate wing with passion fruit, duck liver with coffee grounds). Highly recommended.

    Nice vibe. The waiters Eric and Jeffery were absolutely adorable. Knowledgeable on their wines and detailed explanations of the menu items which they served with flair. Decor could use some work. Food was really good. We did the 8? Course menu with wine selection which was delightful.

  • 5/5 Hubert S. 5 months ago on Google β€’ 70 reviews
    A very nice restaurant where everything is just right, the atmosphere, service, dishes and wines, allergies and dietary requirements are no problem, highly recommended for a few hours of fine dining.

  • 5/5 Will L. 7 months ago on Google β€’ 45 reviews
    The food quality was top notch. Every dish was perfectly balance. Really loved the foie gras dish, best I have ever had. It was very well balanced with the pear and coffee. The potato dish was well executed with depth of flavour from the smoked eel and komba. First time trying pickle herring and it was amazing with the horseradish ice cream. Lastly, the dessert - hay ice cream, topped with goat yogurt, cardamom and rhubarb meringue. Not too sweet, so a perfect dessert for perfect meal. Thank you to the chef and service team.

    Best fine dining restaurant in Amsterdam. Elevated service and food (I highly recommend the wine pairing) with a casual, approachable vibe.

    We became aware of Floreyn at fairly short notice because our hotel recommended it upon arrival and were able to reserve a table for 8 p.m. on the same day. Despite the spontaneous reservation, we were still offered 8 courses and we were very happy not to miss any courses. Really fantastic cuisine, regional, including regional wine recommendations. Very very exciting! The weakest for us were the quail and the duck liver, everything else was really perfect. Service very charming, attentive, unobtrusive and friendly. It was a pleasure for us.

    Had the whole restaurant to ourselves. Jeffrey and Aaron were exceptional. Jeffrey knew his wines and Aaron gave us his recipe for the goat butter and the coffee crumble. The degustation menu was extraordinary.

    My wife and I were on our honeymoon. We have been to multiple Michelin-star restaurants in the US, from one-star to three-star, and Floreyn is the first fine-dining experience in Europe for us. It completely exceeds my expectation. The decor of the restaurant is top-notch, romantic, modern, and intimate. Food-wise, I will just put it this way, for the same quality of food, you will need to pay 3x the price in the US. My favorite is the salted mackerel with sorbet, and my wife's favorite is the duck liver with pear and coffee. I have tasted so many new things & new combinations. It's truly an adventure for the mouth. More importantly, I told them my nut allergy, and they really took care of that until the end of the meal. It's already late when we had our desserts and some of their staff already left. Even then, they still remembered my nut allergy and served me the nut-free version. It sounds simple but I have been to a 3-michelin-star restaurant where they served me the nut version and my wife the nut-free version... Overall very impressed, it's a highlight in our honeymoon in Amsterdam.

    Amazing food. Good value. Love the quail. Must try.

  • 5/5 Wendy H. 7 months ago on Google
    We celebrated our wedding anniversary with 5 course meal with an added dish. Everything was spectacular. The dishes looked like works of art and were delicious. I especially loved the root vegetables sprouting above the bar and other locations throughout the space. The stag was informative and knowledgeable. Service was impeccable. We would definitely return.

    This is the only and best Dutch "Haute Cuisine" type of restaurant that I have dined at. There might be more, but i am not aware of any. Never knew you could produce these types of plates with Dutch food (cuisine), which, lets be honest, is rather basic. Delicious tasting menus with equally good wine tasting. Price might be slightly more than a basic restaurant, but it is really worth it. Compared to American restaurants, this is plain and simple "heaven". Strongly recommend it. Update November 2022: wanted to update my experience and see whether my previous review was still on target. They did not disappoint. Was there with my son as their first customers of the day at 6pm and we left at 10pm. We had the 8 course tasting menu. It was expensive but as i mentioned before, it is haute cuisine and i had been dreaming about a repeat experience for five years. I l add some pics. And knew that there is such a variety of Dutch wines??!! Continue to highly recommend!

    One of THE best restaurants in Amsterdam right now! Located at the far west end of Albert Cuypstraat, away from the hustle and bustle of the market, this place will impress you from the moment you walk through the door. The decor is modern, yet intimate, with multiple live plants located at each table...and a sort of botanist vibe all around the bar. At the suggestion of the very friendly waiter, I tried a spectacular Dutch Riesling that was so incredibly pleasant to drink. Some star moments from the meal include pickled mackerel with horseradish ice cream, the most succulent breast of quail I have ever eaten, and divine duck liver with hints of brown sugar, coffee, and tonka bean. Highly, highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Edward H. 1 year ago on Google
    Each dish on the tasting menu was beautifully presented and tasted spectacular! The dutch inspired cuisine was evident. Wonderful waiting staff and a pleasant atmosphere. Would highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Susan B. 1 year ago on Google
    As a San Francisco native, I almost hesitate to say this because we believe we are the food mecca of the world, but Floreyn may have been one of the best, if not THE best, restaurant experience of my life. Everything about it was superb, from the professional, committed and attentive service to the wildly inventive and beautifully presented food to the aesthetics of the interior which blended sophistication with comfort. Every course was a surprise and a delight. 5+ stars.

  • 3/5 Anjali K. 1 year ago on Google
    We went to Floreyn for dinner and found it a pleasant experience. The vibe was great and staff very friendly. We found the food a mixed experience. Floreyn's approach is to allow the diner to pick how many courses they want and the rest is left to the chef's. My husband and I did 5 courses; each of us hated a course (different dishes), each found 2 just ok and we both loved the other 2. Some dishes simply were not well balanced, and too acidic. Hopefully the kitchen can sort it out because otherwise Floreyn is a lovely place to go.

  • 5/5 Audrey C. 1 year ago on Google
    We went to Floreyn for the second time and once again amazing! The 5 courses menu is absolutely out of this world. I wish I could write something negative and keep this amazing place as a secret but it wouldn't be fair for this amazing talented Chef and his team! We will come back for sure😊

  • 4/5 zongxian l. 5 years ago on Google
    A casual looking cafe with a great tasting menu that betrays its real culinary capabilities. Food was fantastic and well paced with a good spread of lighter and heavier dishes. Restaurant staff were considerate and very helpful, even preparing a baby seat for my toddler when I mentioned her in the booking. Definitely a child friendly restaurant. Not sure whether a compliment or a complaint, but individual food portions were slightly on the larger side. Our tiny Asian bellies were struggling to keep up towards the end.

  • 5/5 Shu Hui L. 4 years ago on Google
    Had a great experience here, despite being a little apprehensive initially when we turned up at half 6 to an empty restaurant.. We ordered the 3 course chef’s tasting menu and loved it. The servers explained each course patiently and the chef was SUPERB - they were willing to re-cook the venison twice as we aren’t accustomed to eating meat rare, and it ended up being cooked to about medium-well and was very fragrant, still tender, and re-plated. Thank you for being so accommodating!!

  • 5/5 Jessica C. 4 years ago on Google
    We brought visiting family here and were very pleased with everything. The concept is simple: fining dining with Dutch food. The atmosphere is nice but not fancy. The lighting was slightly dim, but you could still easily read the menu. Staff was wonderful and explained everything. Food was very good with lots of varying textures and flavors. Nothing comes out the way you expect it, and that's a good thing. Our cocktails were very good as well. Overall, very impressed and will go again!

  • 5/5 aseema m. 2 years ago on Google
    I had very specific requirements which Chef Cyrill understood very well. He created a fantastic 4 course menu for my partner and me. We loved it and highly appreciate the flexibility!!!

  • 5/5 Angelique B. 4 years ago on Google
    This sophisticated restaurant serves up a delicious Dutch taste experience. We went for the chefs menu, finishing up with a selection of amazing cheeses, which we personally selected from their main cheese board. Very unique, accomplished cooking, using local, seasonal vegetables. Nice wine pairings also, and service is impeccable, with a clear explanation of each dish. A tad expensive, but worth every penny.

  • 4/5 Luisa S. 2 years ago on Google
    Food was great and loved the open kitchen concept. Service was also spot on! One less star because atmosphere of the restaurant was not as pleasant as I expected it to be. Very quiet and empty. Would still recommend!

  • 5/5 Remy S. 2 years ago on Google
    We had a great night here. Sweet people and a good relaxing vibe. Food: we had a 8 course meal with 8 wonderful courses and great Dutch wine pairing. Would recommend this!

  • 5/5 Marieke 2 years ago on Google
    Such a great place! 3rd time eating here and it never ceases to amaze. The food is so refined, with a focus on seasonal products from the Netherlands (and they have great Dutch wines!). The staff is very kind, with a real passion for the food and drinks they serve. Already looking forward to the next time!

  • 5/5 Ruben B. 2 years ago on Google
    Very interesting and nice food! They use all kinds of dutch ingredients in an very creative and interesting way. They also have a very large collection of dutch wines Wich you won't find anywhere else. Overall very interesting and tasty. Prepare to be surprised. I would definitely recommend it!

    We had an absolutely fantastic evening here! Awesome food and really cool ambience. Make sure to not miss out on their custom Gin&Tonic drinks that come with a bang. Cheese platter is πŸ‘

    What an amazing experience! This is not the restaurant you pick when you want a quick entree and wine; this is a restaurant you pick when you want to spend time savoring your food, talking about your food, and experiencing your food. You will definitely want a reservation and to plan to be there for several hours. It's worth it. Cyril Martineau, the chef, masterfully walks the line between an experience and a production - we were delighted with the presentation and the subtle yet powerful interplay of flavors, but happy that neither were overdone. We felt truly like guests rather than an audience, and that is often missing in many high end restaurants these days. The restaurant specializes in highlighting the flavors and ingredients of The Netherlands in new and interesting ways. You can order the prix fixe tasting menu with optional wine pairing, or a la carte. We opted the prix fixe and added on the duck liver. We started with a curried carrot "cake" which was a cube fried like tofu, with a perfectly silky center and light crisp edges; a truffled celeriac gougere which was equally crisp and silky; this was followed by a rolmop variant, with a tiny piece of beet painted herring, rye puree, a rolled sliver of pickle and horseradish ice cream. All delightful. The entire tasting menu was impressive, but what really stood out was a coffee-brushed celeriac with a pumpkin seed line filled with a buttermilk and herb-oil sauce. This dish forever redeemed the somewhat overwhelming flavor and texture of celeriac for me, and I will judge all future root dishes by this one. The celeriac was stringless and perfectly cooked, and the coffee was subtle but lingered on the palate for minutes. All the other dishes were equally delicious (and we could drink the langoustine "gravy"). We may have quibbled between ourselves about whether or not adding a mustard flower garnish to a dish would add an additional layer, but that's the joy of a meal like this - you can savor it, discuss it, and it will stimulate your own culinary imagination. The service was equally excellent, and Chef Cyril came to our table several times to discuss his dishes. Our waiter was knowledgeable, friendly, attentive (without being creepy), and had good recommendations for local wines. We have spent decades searching out new and interesting restaurants in our varied travels. This was definitely high on our list of top experiences.
