Barricade — Restaurant in Amsterdam

If you know Barrica this is a similar concept from the same owners. It is a sort of a wine bar with racciones (sp?) Or sharing plates if you prefer that term. One section included 5 or 6 seafood options (we had the calamari, excellent) another section had veggies and meat from a grill. They have a bunch of tapas snacks as well, like croquetas and nachos. The wines are excellent, with a range of well selected wines by glass and bottle. They even have a decent variety of beers, 9 on tap! The interior is gorgeous, with a cozy, rich, warm vibe. Great for a date night or with friends. I wouldn't take kids there, although there is a terrace which will be more family friendly in the summer I would imagine....

This place is completely unprofessional. I watched as a poor brown girl and her friend were uprooted from their table (they had reserved) and were forced to wait for close to 40 minutes as everyone around them was served and they were not. The girl was the only brown person in sight, I can only assume this place is full of racists because they only helped her once they had to. She was a sweetheart, laughing with her friend and being kind despite this establishment’s clear racism. I will never eat here again and I hope no one else does either. Food isn’t...

All of the food were good, especially olives! Never had this much tasty olives anywhere else. Staff are friendly and lovely. This place is located a little away from the noisy area so feels like a hidden gem with a nice terrace. Unfortunately the construction were going on between this restaurant and the construction, so the view was not good, but hopefully we can have a nice view by the next summer. Overall 10/10. Love...
