ARTISANI — Restaurant in Amsterdam

What an amazing smash burger! It’s in top two best smash burgers in Amsterdam for me!

I had the Artisaniac (second pic) which had 4 smashed patties and my guest had Artisani (2 smashed patties). We also had cheesy fries.

Burgers are really really tasty. Cooked perfectly and seasoned well. Buns are amazing brioches also very tasty. I’d like the pickles to be chopped smaller as they fall while eating. Although I like the raw onions taste, slightly pickled onions would be better as raw onions are too sharp. It’s halal meat and feels surprisingly light even.

Only criticism is to cheesy fries. The cheese sauce is very fake it almost feels like eating instant cheese sauce (maybe it is?). I wish they had served good quality Dutch style fries instead of this super processed potato material. It is disappointing and only element it makes you sad considering their burgers are soooo good. If they upgrade to good fries as well, this place will be top!

Service is good and super fast. Bam! These guys deliver.

Will definitely go again but to have good burgers...

with great regret we ended up not eating here. We went for an early dinner for a quick bite before a show at Mervart. The restaurant was empty only one noisy group of ppl sitting at front side table in front of the window. We asked if we could sit at the other side of restaurante, in much quite and nicer area with proper square tables. An angry woman barked from the kitchen to the nice waiter “NO” shooing us to smallest round tables right at the back of where the noisy group of people was sitting. We asked why we couldn’t sit at the other side of the restaurant away from this group. The answer was just because. This was all very awkward and initially we comply with the orders of the grumpy woman and we sit down at the small cafe tables where she pointed us. It felt really uncomfortable sitting so close to this noisy group specially during covid days, so we stand up and left without any intention to go back. We are not your flock of sheep to be...

The service we experienced today was shockingly rude, leaving us at a loss for words. While the fries and burgers were decent, the hot dog was completely flavorless, and even dipping it in sauces didn’t help. When we politely pointed this out, the waiter became defensive and accused us of not knowing what "real hot dogs" were, saying we must have only ever had supermarket ones. Before we could even request a replacement, he said, "By the way, this isn't coming off the bill," which we hadn’t even asked for! If that's how they plan to make money, so be it. I used to love this place when it first opened, but coming back was a mistake—it ruined our...
