TWENTYSIX restaurant — Restaurant in Amsterdam

Once in a lifetime experience! The restaurant did NOT open the door! They did NOT pick up the phone (4 times) when we were desperately trying to reach them. You may wonder how can this happen! The entry to the restaurant is through a shop, and there should be someone present at the shop to welcome you. There was no one!

I had guests visiting from outside of Holland, and I wanted to give them a different experience! Well, that sure happened! We will never forget the time that we were stood up in a chilly Amsterdam evening outside of a restaurant.

This happened on a Saturday evening. In the past 6 days, no one has called me back, seeing the unanswered calls. I went to the restaurant to tell them what has happened and asked my money back, because you need to pay 25 euros per person to even make a reservation. They said they would pay it back, that was 2 days ago, and they still did NOT pay it.

I waited 6 days to write this review, to give them a chance to apologize. Finally when none of that happened I decided to write about it. As I write this review, I realize how mind bogglingly incompetent the restaurant management is.. I am still...

Saw this amazing set of buildings from a train. Googled them and discovered there was a restaurant at the top of one of the buildings with a view across Amsterdam. I found the booking process very easy online. It was simple to record my dietary requirements. We were not prepared for how fantastic the whole experience would be. From the moment we walked into the building, we were greeted in a friendly and helpful way. The service from the start to finish was top notch! And the food, heavenly. We had the set lunch menu and our tastebuds were in heaven from the first bite. I think the chef must love his work as it transferred to the food we ate. The decor was sumptuous and tasteful. The view was fantastic. Do yourself, and your tastebuds a favour and check this restaurant out. The price was around €130 and included the set menu and several drinks. PS: My gluten free dietary requirements were met with minimal changes...

It is wonderful to have such a high end vegetarian experience (they also have seafood and meat options if desired). The food was artfully arranged with an interesting and creative combination of flavors making it a feast for both the eyes and stomach. Portion size was perfect for a tasting menu. As a side note I must say I was very impressed with the ability of the staff to describe the ingredients in English. Of course we are spoiled that everyone here has a basic command of English, but it is something else to be able to explain all the ingredients and preparations for so many small but complex...
