    I Loved the atmosphere and the brunch was good… we ate the scramble eggs because they were the only type available on the menu… but I would come back there often now that I know this place, if I could find also the poached eggs… (my favorite for a brunch)!

    Great place for a lunch, borrel or to party. Fair prices as well. Would definitely go here again, especially during the summer when the terras is open. The staff are nice and comes to the table if they see that you’re out of something. We didn’t need a reservation when we went there for lunch (on a Saturday). However I would recommend it anyways, because it got more crowded as time passed.

    Not a great variety of food. Menu is in Dutch together with a poor translated version in english. Had a tom yum soup - it was rather more of a maggi soup. Desert was very nice. Cheesecake. Nevertheless people are nice and great atmosphere

    (Translated by Google) Pacific Parc is no longer one of the umpteenth catering establishments with untrained and unprofessional staff who consider themselves more worthwhile than the customers. A mistake with eating on the terrace (the part that is public space where they put beach chairs without a terrace permit) got completely out of hand within 5 minutes, which was called upon to note legs security. Unbelievable ! If you, as a catering or management staff, cannot keep the peace of mind to solve a simple mistake, without hysterically asking for security into your microphone, you have nothing to look for in Horeca or management! Outrageous for putting such a hysterical, apparently too inexperienced and young, girl in a management position. Even though I live around the corner, I don't go here anymore. (Original) Pacific Parc is het niet meer ipv een van de zoveelste horeca gelegenheden met ongetraind en onprofessioneel personeel dat zichzelf meer de moeite waard vind dan de klanten. Een vergissing met eten op het terras ( het gedeelte dat openbare ruimte is waar ze zonder terras vergunning strand stoelen neer zetten) liep binnen 5 minuten totaal uit de hand waar nota benen security bij geroepen werd. Ongelofelijk ! Als je als horeca of management personeel niet de rust kunt bewaren om een simpele vergissing op te lossen, zonder hysterisch in je microfoon om security te vragen, heb je niks in Horeca of management te zoeken ! Schandalig dat ze zulke hysterische, blijkbaar te onervaren en jong, meisje in een management positie te zetten. Ook al woon ik om de hoek ga ik hier niet meer heen.

    Very poor service, you feel like you are not welcome there. Our table was dirty, and we had a baby with us. The waitress served me a coffee and got dirty from the wet disgusting table and still didn't had a thought of "maybe I should clean the table.... seriously, get a grip on hospitality service on the Netherlands... o one is responsible for your life choices As a waitress, if you don't like the job, go work in an office or construction, bit avoid human contact at all cost.

    We arrived there around 6pm on a Saturday afternoon, so the place was busy, and they still found a place for 5 people. We had an online English version of the menu and a Dutch one. We have ordered 4 beef burgers, 1 veg burger and calamaris - which they aren’t fried as we are used to, so we didn’t like it. The waitress was nice, changed it, even though it was our mistake. The Burger I can 100% recommended. The ice teas, unfortunately they aren’t the best for the price. The cheesecake, Omg… It seems like it has been in the fridge for really a long time. Sad. Besides the bad experience with the dessert, it is stil worth a visit!

    Waited 25 minutes for a coffee and Cola. Coffee was cold and some took a bite from the cookie 🙄. Luckily we got a new coffee.

    We were allowed to exchange fries for sweet potato fries in our burger. Both the meat and the vegetarian burger were reaaaally tasty although a tad small (also for the price), music in the place is 👌🏻

  • 4/5 Sujata Bakshi G. 7 months ago on Google • 78 reviews
    A lively, colourful joint with extremely friendly service who are always on the look out and turn up exactly when you need them... We just wanted some snacks and a comparatively quiet place... We were immediately seated at a table away from the guests who you could unwittingly hear 😏 The waitress serving us explained the dishes carefully and enquired about the meat in the "Bitterballen", since I have an intolerance to pork. The tables are a bit too close, but after a few minutes it doesn't really bother... The food is good - the drinks are interesting... We had a plate of deep fried snacks 😁 I recommend it highly 🥰

    Hands-on the worst service I have ever had in a restaurant here in Amsterdam. It took them 50 minutes to serve us drinks and, after asking two different waitresses what was going on, they did not even apologise. I give 3 stars for the atmosphere just because I like the place, not because of the staff (obviously).

  • 2/5 Isabela O. 2 years ago on Google
    From the time we entered, the manager was being rude and even rolling her eyes when talking. The rest of the staff was friendly and nice. Drinks took too long to come. DJ that was advertised was not there. Good location and space.

  • 1/5 Marcela F. 2 years ago on Google
    Terrible service. The waiter was extremely condescending and rude fro absolutely no reason. It was very clear that he didn't want to be there, still no reason to treat customers like he did.

  • 4/5 Shahin S. 2 years ago on Google
    I had brunch here. The service was very friendly and the terrace was spacious, sunny and nice. I got the breakfast combo, it was really not that special.

  • 5/5 Zeynep D. 2 years ago on Google
    Great place to hang out both day and night

  • 3/5 Benoit A. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice place but poor service when we went there. By the way, it is the bottle another client on the picture. The table was not clean before we were seated.

    (Translated by Google) I always loved the atmosphere. Now the interior feels general. (Original) Ik vond de sfeer altijd te gek. Nu voelt het interieur algemeen aan.

  • 5/5 Nilz van den B. 3 years ago on Google
    I like the "new" menu and the quality of the food coming out of the kitchen shows they care about it.

  • 5/5 Gretchen R. 2 years ago on Google
    We had a South Africans get together with a big group of people at Pacific . We only had drinks so can’t comment on the food but the venue and the friendly staff were really great in managing and making sure it all ran smoothly! Great terrace and inside area as well! Thanks for doing a great job!

  • 5/5 Kaveh V. 2 years ago on Google
    Lovely place! Beautiful space and design! Great food and decent amount of drinks. Professional and polite staff… definitely going back there again!

  • 3/5 Berat Onur E. 1 year ago on Google
    Cozy place for dinner. Told that after 10pm -but actually after 11pm- tables are removed and this place turns to a dance club. In the menu, drink prices are slightly above average. About DJ Dance music: Not good not bad, sometimes boring. Between chill and dance better to say - Music choices were not there to manage the crowd's joy and response. Ordinary club music.

  • 4/5 Lauren 1 year ago on Google
    An awesome place to drink and hang out but not for food. This place does great cocktails, has a great atmosphere and is generally a good place to go, I just wouldn’t recommend the food.

  • 5/5 Juana P. 2 years ago on Google
    I ordered the vegan burger with sweet potato and I must say it's the best hamburger I've tried so far in Amsterdam! 🍔🍟 It's also a really cool place to have some drinks at their terrace, where you can have a nice view of westerpark 🍻 I loved the service at the place 💛 🌱 They have vegan options

  • 5/5 fatima a. 1 year ago on Google
    First time trying a veg burger … sooo yummy tasted like beef. I highly recommend this restaurant for their food.. good vibes… and most importantly their friendly staff

  • 4/5 Alexander M. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice restaurant with an outdoor seating area in Westerpark. Very cool and comfortable ambiance. The food and homemade tea was okay, nothing really special but not bad either. The tostis are not very large but they are fine. Price is about what you expect but I think you can find better food elsewhere nearby.

  • 1/5 Ian C. 1 year ago on Google
    The service here is absolutely trash. Not a surprise for Amsterdam but this place is a joke. 20 minutes to get a cappuccino, and then ordered a sandwich and it never came. I asked where it was, they said they forgot to out the order in. No apologies from the staff. Only come here if you have time to waste

  • 5/5 G. 1 year ago on Google
    Perfect spot for summer evening ☀️lively atmosphere & great selection of food. Vegan burger lekker! Spicy cauliflower bites also delicious 😋

  • 4/5 Stratos L. 1 year ago on Google
    I really like this place. It's one of my go-to places for relaxing time and good food and atmosphere. I do wish however that sometimes the service is not too much over my head, I haven’t even finished half my drink and she was asking for tge next thing to order...making me feel compelled to order or to leave..... and, the place was not even half full.... anyway, maybe it was my bad luck

  • 5/5 Nanne U. 1 year ago on Google
    Pacific has been one of my fav restaurants for a few years now. Its the perfect place to go for a good lunch, dinner, cocktails or to dance at night. Especially the vegan Beyond burger is worth it to try!

  • 5/5 JSK J. 1 year ago on Google
    Top place to go out on the weekend. Friendly vibe from the staff (security and bar) even on a busy night!

  • 3/5 Ap V. 5 months ago on Google
    On a slow day, more staff than customers, and the waitress still ignored us. We called her on it, and she begged to differ. Sandwiches were good, though.

  • 2/5 Warner 5 months ago on Google
    Bad experience, food (burger) was just way too blend, dry and just badly prepared. Didn’t look tasty also…. Fries were soft not crispy, looked grayish, not hot and probably not made with fresh frying fat. Finally way too salt. Will not visit again.

  • 5/5 Stefano Di P. 6 years ago on Google
    Very cozy place. Here you can find a perfect spot for having a beer, listening to live music and dancing until late. The tables outside and the fireplace inside make it a good fit for a winter as well as a summer night. Prices are not high and the service is good. I tried finger food and several drinks. Went there on weekdays and weekends and never left disappointed. One of my favorite spots in Amsterdam 🍺🍽🥃🍹💃🏻🕺🏻

  • 5/5 Nathan B. 3 years ago on Google
    A nice big location, a big terrace. The food is good and a good selection of beers.

  • 5/5 SEBASTIEN B. 3 years ago on Google
    So nice and quiet place under the sun. Delicious "yellow" fruit shake to taste for child. And large choice of beers for daddy.

  • 5/5 Florian K. 3 years ago on Google
    A great spot to relax and have a cocktail while enjoying the sunset. On warm summerdays there are a lot of beach chairs that you can arrange freely to match your needs. Enjoy the street art performers in front of the location and try the vegetarian Bitterballen!

  • 2/5 Raven 3 years ago on Google
    Even though there was a maximum of 30 people allowed I felt like they couldn't manage it. "Medium-rare" steak was well done and had frozen butter on it... some rounds of drinks took over half an hour to arrive...

  • 4/5 marie h. 3 years ago on Google
    Nice ambiance. Just took a while to get the attention of a staff member. Dogs aloud in and different settings to sit. Also good bitterballen.

    Overall a nice place for either for a big group event, studying or just dinner. It had a nice ambiance that would make you want to visit again. Only downside is a small brunette with short hair that was serving us. She really did not seem genuine towards the guests, which made me want to visit less likely. Especially when she then laughs more when interacting with her colleagues.

👍👍 The perfect place to enjoy high-quality seafood at a reasonable price.
