During our recent visit to Amsterdam, we had the pleasure of dining at The Seafood Bar located at Spui, and it was an unforgettable experience. Nestled in a charming and central square, just a short walk from Dam Square, the location is ideal—close to the city’s main attractions yet tucked away from the hustle and bustle. Here, you find a more refined crowd enjoying the tranquil ambiance.

From the moment we arrived, we were warmly greeted by Vito and Angelo, two exceptional employees of the restaurant who made our dining experience all the more special. Vito, being Italian like myself, went out of his way to make us feel right at home, explaining the menu in detail and guiding us through the best seafood options. His friendliness and professionalism really stood out, and we felt like we were in expert hands throughout the evening.

The food itself was a seafood lover’s dream. We started with perfectly seared scallops and succulent shrimps, followed by a melt-in-your-mouth crab cake that was bursting with flavor. For the main course, we indulged in a grilled seafood platter and a tender, buttery lobster that was cooked to perfection. Every bite was fresh and full of the sea’s essence.

To top off the meal, we couldn’t resist a slice of their creamy cheesecake, followed by a refreshing sgroppino and a traditional limoncello—the perfect finish to an exquisite dinner.

What really sets The Seafood Bar apart, beyond the outstanding food, is the attention to detail and the warm, attentive service. Vito and Angelo elevated the entire experience, making us feel welcome and cared for, and their passion for their work truly shines through.

Whether you’re looking for a romantic dinner or a refined night out with friends, The Seafood Bar at Spui is a must-visit. Exceptional seafood, impeccable service, and a prime location in the heart of Amsterdam without the chaos—this place has it all.

Highly recommended!
