Ekaterina DementevaSeptember 20, 2015Great 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
Lily KwanNovember 28, 2016Ordered 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!

Libby Maxx PowerJanuary 5, 2020Seafood 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
Brigitte PerezOctober 22, 2017AMAZING! 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.
Gizem ZSeptember 27, 2016start 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...👍🏻
Alexandra EliasJuly 12, 2023I 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, 2015The 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
Nick Van de VeldeMarch 28, 2022What 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!- ElisaNovember 15, 2021Get 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.
Grace Magdalene LeongMarch 28, 2015Lobster 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!
Chi NguyenMay 13, 2019As in the name of the restaurant, they serve seafood, the very fresh and tasty seafood 🦞
Ugur SavasNovember 5, 2015Bar 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, 2014Great 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.
Althea StearnsOctober 17, 2015Excellent 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.- Althea StearnsApril 2, 2018Started 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.
DMJanuary 20, 2016The 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, 2015Have 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!
Michael 🇩🇪March 5, 2017i 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
VladieSeptember 15, 2018Delicious fresh sea food for a fair price. Try everything! The service is polite, friendly and really helpful (including great recommendations).
Mai ALsaqa'abyApril 14, 2019Busy restaurant we waited for 30 minutes but worth the visit, I ordered the battered fish & chips it was delicious
Maria GleesonOctober 24, 2016French mussels are delicious!!! Lobster was great. Have the Pinot Grigio!! Great service and you get a lot of food
Jacquie H.👹August 12, 2013For 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!
FoodieJune 15, 2014The 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, 2018Excellent fresh seafood. Try pulpo a gallega and lobster soup. Bordeus oyster are amazing!!!
The best sea food in Amsterdam. The king crab is delicious! Highly recommended. Reservation is required.
KarstenSeptember 20, 2018Decent 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, 2015Fruits de Mer platter for two with the King Crab and additional Lobster option. Simply amazing!
mari ban 🍔🍝🥂March 7, 2018I’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 .
Isabella SanchesAugust 10, 2016I 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.
Dema AlissaApril 14, 2019The 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, 2017Absolutely must visit and grab oysters ! Strongly recommended for fishfood lovers
- Lilian LohNovember 5, 2014Fresh seafood, excellent service. Has the grilled king crab which was delicious ☺️
A.A. K.March 1, 2014Amazingly great!!! Ordered french fish soup,mussels,scampi in garlic butter and calamari-the best! Book a table in advAnce
Gowrie RamcharanMay 1, 2015Great selection to of seafood, really well prepared. Fish and chips was very good.
- KarstenNovember 21, 2018Pulpo 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!
Diana QuinteroFebruary 14, 2016Amazing place!!! Dishes are big enough. Sometimes share their own is better. Pulpo al olivo! You must try it!
PotatoAugust 6, 2015Excellent seafood restaurant !!!! quick service and fresh products !! Not so expensive
Evren KoksalNovember 1, 2014Best seafood ever! Best service in Amsterdam. Order anything! All is heaven :)
Dharyll RyceJuly 26, 2015All seafood is amazing here, staff are nice and attentive and good selection of wine.
Alexandra AlvesDecember 31, 2014The attendants were a little impatient, but the food made it worth the trouble. Fish and chips were excellent and the price is great.
Rewan PartiJanuary 12, 2015The Belgian style mussels are really good. Reasonable prices for seafood.
Nicte WellerSeptember 2, 2021Everything was delicious, even the chocolate mousse. Loved the seafood finger food platter
