Peps — Restaurant in Amsterdam

Lovely staff and atmosphere, but the food really missed the mark.

We had dinner at Peps and were greeted by genuinely kind staff, service was really lovely from start to finish. The restaurant itself looks great: moody burgundy tones, cozy lighting, and nice ambient music that gives the place a cool, relaxed vibe. It’s quite busy, which makes it good for a casual catch-up with friends, and the happy hour concept is fun.

Unfortunately, the food just wasn’t tasty. Everything we tried was either extremely salty (and I love salty food), tasted like old oil, or had almost no flavor at all. The garlic shrimp were the only real highlight of the meal.

Overall, a nice place to hang out, but not one I’d recommend for a date night or if you’re going mainly...

Nice new spanish concept, friendly staff ! I tried several dishes and the even had 50% discount because it was the first week of opening! Which was nice too ! The food is fine ! The calamari was a bit over fried , and the potato tortilla dish was not tasting good “ I recommend that they don’t add the mayonnaise on top already “ maybe better on the side or something! I even gave the dish back to the waiter .. and it was not even removed from the payment ! Which is fine this time because of the 50% discount.. but in general its a nice experience, and im sure i will go back there...

Luckily, the food was good, because the service left much to be desired. We had trouble getting staff to come to our table, had to ask four times for glasses for the water that was placed on the table, and when we were asked if everything was okay, the staff was already walking away before we could even get the answer out. We also later realized that we paid for more than we ordered.

Bit of a shame as the taste of the food was good and really quick to come to the table. Doubting whether to return as the service really...
