πŸ‘πŸ‘ Really nice atmosphere, lots of tables inside and out. The bread tastes so nice, and the burger was one of the best burgers I have ever had. The Sweet Potato fries with curry sauce were really nice also, would definitely recommend. Prices are what you would assume for a place like this, and came to... People often mention nice,

    Really nice atmosphere, lots of tables inside and out. The bread tastes so nice, and the burger was one of the best burgers I have ever had. The Sweet Potato fries with curry sauce were really nice also, would definitely recommend. Prices are what you would assume for a place like this, and came to €30 for two. Lots of drink selection also.

    I ate ribs, wifey chose burger here. Ribs was quite good but burger didn't meet the expectations. It was very interesting that place was full of young and beautiful single ladies 😁. Staff was very helpful. The place turns to a club after 22:00 and we reached there around 21:45. Nevertheless they serve us dinner and gave one of the best table. Thank you guys.

    Interesting place, heavily decorated. Lots of religious statues and such Latin American decorative items. The ribs are good and plentiful, the service was swift and correct to our liking.

    Awesome location for some really nice BBQ. My Rum Ribs were fantastic. The decoration/style of the restaurant is very unique and amazing. The only downside was, that we had to wait quite some time for the food, but I think as you can see on the pictures, it was worth the wait ;-)

    Lucky to get a table for two as it was full. However,the friendly staff set up seating for us and served us decent cocktails. One of the best burgers I had in Amsterdam. The whole place turns to a club as the evening goes late. Pretty handy. Eat drink and dance. Cool. explained the good sounds earlier.

    Wow this place. First of all, the interior is amazing, every corner is an art piece. Drinks are good, and for a bar/club in the center the prices are okay as well. The music is great, djs really know how to make a fun atmosphere, as well as the bartenders. Really relaxed atmosphere but still perfect for a night out. I loved it here

    Food is Nice. Not special Or exclusive But Nice. But the service is horrible. We waited a long time for Our main. And then They forgot Our sides...... 15 min before we HAD to leave the waitress comes with Our desserts that we have to eat. Because the time is almost finished. Very rude. She really could not communicate. And without a sign that the table is reserved till 20.30. Plus we had to ask for drinks..... and They Did not take the empty glasses Or bottles. So no don’t go here! maybe if we Did not book by social deal, we would get better service... So Very bad advertisement for Social deal as well.

    NOT RECOMMENDED!!!! AVOID THIS PLACE!!!!The worst service ever!!!We had a reservation for 9 people and we were the only ones in the restaurant but It took ages for the food to arrive. We had to ask for drinks twice or three times cause the waiters were busy checking Instagram or chatting. My starter arrived cold, my stake was medium-rare instead of medium-well done and the dessert (cheesecake) was made a month ago.

    After being to La Favela in Bali this place really let's the name down and all due to unfriendly staff. Really rude and obnoxious woman greeted us to an empty restaurant in the rudest way in my 30 years. Won't be back and wouldn't recommend. Plenty other really nice places in Amsterdam. Don't waste your time.

    We ate spontaneously here. Great food, the rips were amazing! Prices suites the quality. The atmosphere is great and we don't had the fdeling to be rushed while dining. We'll definitively come back

    I celebrated my birthday here with a small group of friends. I loved it! The table for me was made up so nice with classy but beautiful accesoirs, as well as their usual assemble. It was a great atmosphere, really unusual and the surrounding really takes you into another world. The staff overall where very kind. Mandy, whom was our hostess, did her very best to make us all happy :) Any small mistake they came across, was handled very professionally. Thank u for everything, it was a birthday to remember and you were a big part of it as well!

πŸ‘πŸ‘ 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-...
