Café-Restaurant De Kleine Kapitein — Restaurant in Amsterdam

I can see why this restaurant has such a high rating. The food quality, quantity and price are all in the goldilock zones. The set menu prices are very reasonable.

The bouilliabasse was excellent as often restuarants over season it. The beef tartare was also good.

The lamb shank and beef short rib were huge but unfortunately both were overcooked and dry which for these fatty cuts shouldn't happen. It think the kitchen needs to look at how they can retain the moisture in those two dishes. I can tell the meat is actually good but it looks like they were held at temperature too long without being in any sauce or liquid to keep them moist.

If I was basing my review on these two mains I would have given them 3 stars.

If you are looking for the most delicious food then this is a must in the Noord of Amsterdam. I have been here twice and both times the food was fantastic.

The best I've ever had. The plating and presentation is that of a high end expensive restaurant. The owner Hassan also the chef is so friendly and goes above and beyond for his customers. Definitely one of my new favorites...

food: it was great, I ordered salmon, salad and a burger, we waited 17 minutes, but for Amsterdam it's even fast. the burger cutlet is very thick and very juicy, the cutlet is made from marbled beef, the vegetables were also quite fresh. the salmon was also tasty, well-fried and the portion was large and they gave a bun with the salmon. the waiter who served us was very polite and cheerful, he said that this was his first day in this restaurant and I exchanged my glasses for his pink ones. it's very atmospheric and nice to sit here. and as a compliment from the chef we were given pea soup. many thanks to the chef and the staff, it was very tasty and...
