Great place!! I can call it "must-visit place" in Amsterdam! Everything is very fresh and tasty! Even a bread with special butter tastes sooo good!! Be prepared to wait for a table in the evening

Ordered the combination with fruit de mer and mixed grilled.The snow crab legs and lobsters in the cold platter were so fresh and were the best I have ever had. This is the best among the 3 stores!

Seafood platters!! Such a great selection of seafood including cockles, crab, lobster and mussel. The surprisingly delicious item is the crab salad. They accept walk ins.Also try the Scroppino dessert

AMAZING! I’d suggest getting a bunch of finger foods. Calamari was the best I’ve ever had. Crab cakes , vongole & shrimp in garlic sauce. Homie had the salmon burger & it was big and juicy.

start with lobster soup, very delicious 😋 and try mixed grill menu including mussel, lobster, king prawn, grilled calamar and different fish types..All were tasty and fresh...👍🏻

I truly recommend the oysters. Get them during the oyster happy hours between 15-17. We enjoyed oysters and shared a Seafood plateau and it was more than enough. A place I’m definitely coming back to.
Alexander GavrilinJune 14, 2015
The choice of fish and fruits de mer is very big and portions are even bigger. The place is very popular among both locals and tourists so waiting time may be up to an hour. Better book in advance

What a discovery! I was really amazed by the fact that it was this well priced! Great quality with fresh products. The waiters are very friendly. Will definitely come back here!

Get the mixed grill. Large portion sizes - Very good value. The sauce is good. Bread & butter good too. Service is solid. Not sure why it’s a 9.7 though, I wasn’t mind blown or anything.

Lobster Soup is a delicious; thick, tasty soup with chunky and soft lobster meat. Slurp! Fried Cod fillet also very crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Highly recommended!

As in the name of the restaurant, they serve seafood, the very fresh and tasty seafood 🦞

Bar is better experience. Needs reservation. Crabs, clamps,scallops, mussels and seashells all delicious. Chef menu, cold menu and seperate crab and scallops. Limited wine choices mostly white.
Adriana CiurelDecember 1, 2014
Great place, fantastic food, fresh, tasty, everything you can ask from seafood. The plateau is a mix of almost everything you might want to try. Must have oysters as well.

Started with the French fish soup. Broth and most of the seafood was good, but shrimp was over cooked. It was mostly shrimp and mussels. The Mixed Grill was amazing. I had the serving for 1.
Althea StearnsOctober 17, 2015
Excellent seafood. I had oysters from Ireland Tara No 4 and the chef special Dorada fish bake whole stuffed with herbs and a ramesco sauce. Reasonable prices for the quality.

i love the food and service. but its really ridiculous you sit on so small tables if want eat a lot. we ordered not more because space is too tiny. you cant enjoy 💯. ok.its just a "bar" no restaurant
DMJanuary 20, 2016
The reminder that it's the best sea food restaurants is totally true, all dishes are amazingly tasty. But stuff is a little bit slow and not not kind at all:)
Laura ZhiuAugust 24, 2015
Have been there numerous times, anything I tried: outstanding (including service)! Mussels, fruits de mer, cod, fish soups, chef's grill mix and more to mention!
VladieSeptember 15, 2018
Delicious fresh sea food for a fair price. Try everything! The service is polite, friendly and really helpful (including great recommendations).
Daniel VasilyevNovember 9, 2019
Big portions, fresh seafood, nice wine and place itself.
Jacquie H.👹August 12, 2013
For a quick seafood lunch or dinner it's always a good place to try. Perfectly cooked fish, great fruit des mer platters and the best fish and chips in town!
Maria GleesonOctober 24, 2016
French mussels are delicious!!! Lobster was great. Have the Pinot Grigio!! Great service and you get a lot of food
Mai ALsaqa'abyApril 14, 2019
Busy restaurant we waited for 30 minutes but worth the visit, I ordered the battered fish & chips it was delicious
Isabella SanchesAugust 10, 2016
I had to order 3 times my wine until it finally arrived. The waitress didn't take notes of our order. By the way the starter and the dessert was really good.

Been here 5+ times
The best sea food in Amsterdam. The king crab is delicious! Highly recommended. Reservation is required.
FoodieJune 15, 2014
The place must be quite popular as it was full, so you'd have to wait for around 10 mins, but that's fine as you can learn the menu meanwhile. All sorts of seafood one could wish 🐟
Luiz Otavio AltenburgApril 28, 2018
Excellent fresh seafood. Try pulpo a gallega and lobster soup. Bordeus oyster are amazing!!!
KarstenSeptember 20, 2018
Decent calamari, enh.further by remoulade. Paired Luc Pirlet chardonnay mostly unspectacular.Service not on par for "best place in town" - slow even after peak hours; no resp.to WhatsApp res. request
Akaru MedetaiJuly 20, 2015
Fruits de Mer platter for two with the King Crab and additional Lobster option. Simply amazing!
mari ban 🍔🍝🥂March 7, 2018
I’m not sure if the fish and calamari were fresh or frozen but definitely were tasty. Friendly staff and generally speaking a value for money restaurant .
Dema AlissaApril 14, 2019
The waiting line was so long but worth the wait. Grilled salmon was cooked to perfection. Crab cake was yummy but a little oily.
Alisa GronJanuary 27, 2017
Absolutely must visit and grab oysters ! Strongly recommended for fishfood lovers
Lilian LohNovember 5, 2014

Diana QuinteroFebruary 14, 2016
Amazing place!!! Dishes are big enough. Sometimes share their own is better. Pulpo al olivo! You must try it!
Rogelio ToledoMay 23, 2019
Mixed Grill is from heaven!
PotatoAugust 6, 2015
Excellent seafood restaurant !!!! quick service and fresh products !! Not so expensive
KarstenNovember 21, 2018
Pulpo alla gallega was not as tender and not as tasty as it could have been. Grilled too long and lacking the typical smoky 'Pimenton della Vera'. Note to the chef: Try sous vide!
Evren KoksalNovember 1, 2014
Best seafood ever! Best service in Amsterdam. Order anything! All is heaven :)
Dharyll RyceJuly 26, 2015
