Brasserie De Roode Leeuw — Restaurant in Amsterdam

❌ AVOID ❌

Did a brief lookthrough of the low reviews and it seems that there’s a pattern of how the service crew mistreats asians in general.

As hotel guests, we decided to grab breakfast at the hotel restaurant for our last day. The employees were friendly and nice but this all changed when a manager looking guy came out to serve the tables. He was rude and impatient (not sure why since there was only 4-5 groups eating, maybe he just wants to look busy like he’s working harder than everyne else?).

Annoying things he did: 👍 In a rush to throw down our breakfast plates and lopsidedly setting it top of the coffee saucer 👍 Screaming ‘cash or card’ during payment and snatching back the POS machine after we tapped our card (like bro didn’t even ask if we wanted a receipt or is he afraid someone’s gonna steal the machine??) 👍 Muttering a slew of dutch behind our backs as we walk out of the restaurant (Hopefully every guest get the same treatment) 👍 Throwing the arm chair back in place after we left our seats to exit

Not bad, actually. I had the following food/drinks:

Caesar salad (with bread) Fries (with mayo) Iced Vanilla Latte (which wasn't on the menu)

Let me start off with the unusally positive: The Vanilla Latte was VERY good. Super delicious.

The fries were actually quite delicious (I ate them without mayo that's how nice they were)... Caesar Salad VERY unusual, definitely could call it something else but it was fine. Very strange sauce I forgot to ask what it was but I personally would not order it again. The chicken though was very good.

The bread unfortunately was quite inedible. I'd be suprised if they bake it in-house and the bread I had on the plane ride there was miles better (and warm)... So a lot of positive but questionable mayo and terrible bread puts food at a 4/5.

Service was fine definitely nothing out of the ordinary.

Atmosphere gets 4/5 but was thinking 3/5 because there were a lot of old people drinking beer there. It's a restaurant not a sports bar... but it's fine for...

Probably one of the worst places Ive ever been in forms of customer service. Waiters have no manners . We dined in on the 26th of December at 1:50. The Turkish looking guy said they only have a table available by the door while the girl kept taking guests to other tables,I asked her is this the only one available?she lied and said yes very rudely and when I was ready to order I asked the guy about it.he who supposed to be the older and more mature person said yea the table wasnt available then but two second later was available,I said 3 tables became available in 2 seconds? He said yes, do you wanna eat here or not? He basically wanted us to leave because we questioned them. He said if you dont want this then go. The Turkish guy was extremely rude, wanted us to leave and kept giving tables away and ignored us. And then rudely took our order. What a...
