Rayleigh & Ramsay Van Wou — Restaurant in Amsterdam

I come here regularly and always have a great time. The concept of the wine machines is fun and allows me to get to know all the different tastes without having to buy the whole bottle. It's perfect if you don't know a lot about wine and don't know what you're looking for, or just want to discover new tastes. There are nice little cards you can take with the name and some info for every wine in case you want to remember which was your favourite.

The menu consists of a range of tasty tapas and there's always something for anyone. I personally like almost all of their bites.

The place looks really cozy too and the only downside to it is how crowded (and kind of loud) it can get because it's a really popular place and in a very busy street. Most days if you want a table you need to book in advance. But despite the crowdedness the staff is...

Rayleigh & Ramsey is a beautiful venue located in the neighborhood Pijp. Beside proving a friendly and professional service, the great point of this venue is that they offer more than 100 types of wines from all over the world. Their system based using dispenser offer the possibility to pick very exclusive wines and choose to have only a little taste, half glass of a full glass. Being a wine lover, one of the biggest challenge when I moved to the Netherlands has been to learn to drink beer instead of wine since every bar offers very poor quality wines. Since I have discovered Rayleigh & Ramsay everything changed. Now I am very happy to be able to go back to drink the gorgeous Bacchus juice since this is the best place to do it...

The place seems very nice, but the service is nothing then short of shame, the bartender super arrogant, we asked if it was possible to sit in one of the two empty tables, we were told that they were booked for dinner, since it was 16.10 we assume and ask if we could stay just half hour. He at that point told us in a arrogant way, and without any reason since we were kind to him, max 10 minutes , over all we still accepted (he was surprised) at that point he still refused to give us the table, and told us that we could stay 10 min but at the counter. Shameful, if you do not like them foreigners(this is the feeling I got) put a sign outside with written prohibited at non Ducth people, at least one does not waste time...
