Conveniently located next to the Hotel de Hallen, my colleague and I had dinner here a couple times during our stay in Amsterdam. The prices are certainly acceptable, as well as being proportional to each meal type. The staff here was very attentive and hospitable, tending well to all customers during the nights that we were there(and it could get quite bustling). I was a bit entertained during dinner one night when I casually asked if they could make a mimosa(it doesn’t seem that they have a formal drink menu) and our server herself was very confused. As I was explaining to her that it’s usually just a mix of orange juice and sparkling white wine, the woman who was tending bar that night walked by. Our server asked if she could make a mimosa and she said«Oh, yeah! Certainly.» She smiled and back to tend the bar area quickly, and the server soon was back to the table with a mimosa. Tasty drink, even if served with a massive straw(the first time I’ve had that happen). Haha. Anyway, the food was consistently cooked well and the atmosphere of the place is certainly enjoyable. A previous reviewer mentioned that their cutlery was presented in paper bags, but that’s not anything I experienced during my recent visits. When my oysters(first visit) were served, they came with a small spoon and fork… so it seems that issue has also been tended to. If nothing else, I enjoyed my experiences(and the convenience) at the Brasserie Halte 3. If I was ever back in Amsterdam, I’d certainly enjoy a visit to this restaurant again.

Unfortunately the food inferior for the décor: sometimes out of balance(Parmesan on a salted steak) but not very expensive. Cutlery is presented in paper bags, something I’ve only seen in cheap restaurants. We had to ask for a fork to eat our oysters, and the menu design is horrible. Staff does not seem to be the brightest either! Maybe come back later to check if they have fixed things…
