We went there tonight. A group of 8! 🥰 The hostess welcomed us and took our coats she then told us about the story of Clandestino and his owners…. I loved that personal touch as a great warm welcome and a honest happy you are here!

Art works on the wall i found perfectly matched. The open kitchen welcomes you in their life.

As starters we choose a couple of shared dishes , predominantly fish and a peer carpaccio which was yummy. The Tacos with yellowfin Tuna was my favorite ❤️

Chef Julia recommended Red snapper covered in salt, its was so full of flavours and the fillets were so soft. Delicious.

Table service was great. She was so professional and kind, not needed to look for her attention once, she didnt miss a thing, but she also wasnt hoovering over the table. Very pleasant.

The view through the big windows onto the street of the beautiful Amsterdam Zuid area strengthen my feelings of being in a restaurant with class. Fancy yet homey. The south european warm vibes are making you feel welcome. I had a lovely evening and will...

What a nice surprise to spend an evening in this restaurant. When it comes to the decor, every detail is thought out. You can see that a lot of heart has been put into it. At first we ordered Manhattan and Dry Martini drinks, classics, very well prepared. I am a connoisseur of drinks, I know what I am talking about. For starters there was Pear Carpaccio and Beef Tataki. Very delicious and very good quality products. Main course Filet Mignon and fish. Very fresh products, very well prepared and selected sauces and ingredients. Bravo to the Chef. For dessert creme brulee with a twist, a little salted caramel. There was wine and a lot of drinks, because the bartender is first class. The whole experience was enriched by a very well prepared waitress. She served all the tables herself, with the help of the bartender. Nice, polite, without running and ignoring customers, she was able to answer questions, give advice, she came to the tables herself. She took care of everyone. Bravo. I highly recommend this place. and I will definitely...
