V R R — Restaurant in Amsterdam

A Disastrous Dining Debacle: restaurant RRV in Amsterdam Fails to Deliver As someone who has worked in the hospitality industry since 1983 and holds a deep passion for culinary arts, I am no stranger to fine dining. However, my recent experience at RRV restaurant Amsterdam was nothing short of disastrous. From the moment we stepped inside, it was clear that this establishment fell far short of expectations. A Setting Ripe for Disaster The restaurant's interior was in a state of disrepair. The kitchen, visible from our table, was shockingly dirty and disorganised. Most alarmingly, we noticed evidence of mold on the walls, raising serious concerns about the overall hygiene and maintenance of the establishment. An Unacceptable Culinary Misstep After an agonising wait of 1.5 hours, our main course finally arrived: barbecued Pike-perch with celeriac and beurre rouge. Anticipation quickly turned to dismay when I discovered the fish was raw. The first bite confirmed my fears; it was not only undercooked but also terribly unpalatable. A Chef Without Remorse Appalled by this unacceptable culinary error, we decided to leave immediately. On our way out, we attempted to address the issue with the chef, explaining that the fish was raw. His response was shockingly dismissive: "You tell me what you want, I have nothing to say!" He then abruptly turned his back and retreated to his kitchen. A Costly and Disappointing Affair This entire ordeal cost us 85 euros, a hefty price to pay for a meal we couldn't even stomach. The chef's unprofessional behaviour and the restaurant's unsanitary conditions compounded the disappointment. As someone familiar with the standards set by culinary giants like Escoffier, I can confidently say that RRV restaurant Amsterdam fails to meet even the most basic expectations of a respectable dining establishment. A Word of Caution Based on this experience, I strongly advise against patronising restaurant RRV in Amsterdam. Diners deserve far better than raw fish, a dirty kitchen, and a chef who shows no regard for customer satisfaction. The owner mr. Sander was present and know it was something terribly wrong. We visited that restaurant Saturday 19 October...

The VRR is set in a 19th-century hall of the NL Shipbuilding Company, now given in true Amsterdam style the flair of a carefully/ carelessly curated Insta story. The menu looked promising, so we opted for the five-course tasting and entrusted the choices to the chef.

Service is quick, very friendly, genuinely attentive and as varied as a relay race, since each course comes with a new acquaintance. Personal it is not, but, as they say, teamwork makes the dream work.

There’s a little wine section, where one can indeed find something .

Water and wine arrived, followed by the house bread witch so good it set a standard the kitchen bravely tried to live up to. Courses followed at a good pace. They were ambitious, though not without the charm of ambition sometimes outstripping execution. As for the price point, it’s pitched a little higher than where the kitchen has quite arrived.

All in all, we enjoyed a relaxed and genuinely lovely...

We passed by and something about the look and the vibe from the outside seemed promising. After stepping in and looking at the space and the menu, we decided to have dinner here. All the expectations came true and everything fell into place - the design, atmosphere, wine list and food all came together to a great experience. We both vegetarian and had a good amount of options. Having some dishes being modified to vegetarian, it ended up being a fully satisfying dinner, with seasonal original plates, great sourdough bread and attentive friendly service. Both me and my partner (Visiting from New York) think that the reviews here aren’t doing this place any justice. Just go and see for yourself. I’m a...
