Abbey — Restaurant in Amsterdam

I had a very good experience till the last 2 weeks. I have autism and adopted a ESA (ESA are support animals part of treatment plans for people with mental health conditions or invisible disability, it is prescribed by a psychiatrist and very official). My dog was not accepted as one of the employee is allergic to dogs. I understand the struggle but then it is crazy to say you accept animals. They advise me to call every-time before I come and if the person who is allergic is not here then I can come.

Obviously can’t speak to the general working conditions but as someone who has worked in restaurants I find food just tastes better when the kitchen and other staff are happy, which they definitely were when we...

We already dine at Abbey several times since we move to this neighborhood. We really like the chill vibe at the terrace outside during the summer but it’s just next to the road so sometimes it can be noisy. It can become very cozy inside the restaurant on a chill night as well.

We always satisfy with the dish we ordered. They always serve fresh ingredients and they cook our beef perfectly as what we ordered. My husband really likes their lasagna.

They have quite limited menus so we can’t go there too often as it’s gonna almost the same dish everytime we go. We visit once in a while so we won’t get bored.

The staffs are always assist you with their big smiles and that’s the biggest...
