Best Lunch Restaurants in Leidseplein

The Restaurant Black in Amsterdam is a GEM. The restaurant was recommended by a local. We were a party 5. We did make a reservation on OpenTable. The service was amazing, scollop appetizer , steak dinners were perfection. The restaurant had a relaxed cool vibe. We were all very pleased.

I ordered a cocktail which was very small and no alcohol I could taste . I complained and they took it away and came back with another one . Not a good start but everything else was brilliant

The meal was amazing including the sourdough bread at the beginning. It was also a beautiful sunny day and we sat by the water. The service was top notch too.

Just one word: Amazing! The staff is super friendly and gave good recommendations. The food was so fresh and had a lot of flavor. Together with the wine it was a perfect meal. Will definitely come back!

Cote de Bouef for two was chewy and gristly. Wouldn’t order again. Apple crumble dessert was disappointing and not what we expected as it was more of a pudding with crumbs on top than a “crumble.”. Food menu is too limited. Service and wine choices were excellent. Location is beautiful and the hotel is charming. Will try again as have eaten there twice before on other visits to Amsterdam and loved it.
