De Luwte

Excellent. The food was as delicious as the presentation. We had the Hake which was moist and seasoned beautifully. The tenderloin was amazing. Warning to those who like «pink», the amazing kitchen does not cook meat to death but medium rare is closer to rare. Drinks were fun and the desert, chocolate of course was even more fun. We’ll be back!

We were there in September, a lovely time of year to visit Holland. We made a reservation and were seated quickly with our preference of indoors because is was threatening rain. The staff was wonderful, accommodating and knowledgeable about the menu and wine list. Our meals were delicious and served at the perfect temperature. Nice ambiance. I recommend reservations because they were very busy.

I visited De Luwte on a double date on a busy Friday night in the summer. It was so hot inside the restaurant AND they had a little fireplace going. Its was miserable. We asked to be seated outside when something opened up but we were not moved. The food was fine for Dutch standards. It was limited menu of 1 or 2 fish dishes, a red meat dish and a vegetarian dish. Plates are small and I wouldn’t recommend it if you have a big appetite.
I would recommend this restaurant for their specialty cocktails on a nice evening if you can snag a table outside on the canal.

This was an amazing dinner from the ambience, service, food, and presentation. I am a huge foodie and everything we ordered blew me away. We had the tuna tartar and beet orange soup for apps. The beet soup was hot which I was surprised by, but was great. We got the cod (amazing) and the special of salmon. The presentation was beautiful. This was my favorite restaurant of the trip. A must.

I recommand this place to all my friend from europe who want to come to amsterdam!
this place is delicious, a pause in time and space!
delicious samosa and portobello mushrooms!

Lieu très sympa, déco moderne, assiettes soignées, personnel agréable… Juste succulent. À tester les yeux fermés !!!

What a better way to end the day in Amsterdam then finding this place. Right on a canal, amazing drinks and food. The drink «golddigger» was the winner, although my drink with elderflower was also tasty. For food, the duck breast and tenderloins were delicious.

Stumble upon this place. Looks nice from the outside, got great ambiance, good service and amazing food!!! Sit by the window, it’s a great place for people watch…

We attempted to try this small restaurant, but the gentleman behind the bar who acted as host was unfriendly. We entered on a busy Saturday night, noticed some empty tables and no one waiting, and asked if we could take one. The man behind the bar looked at us like we were from Mars (we were well-​dressed Martians, I would add). They were full, I believe he mumbled. I asked if we could wait. He responded with a blank look as many eyes watched us. I know he understood me, but he was somehow unable to engage. He gave us a business card and suggested we call them. Perhaps they only take reservations.
It was an awkward moment in our European vacation, just slightly more so than a security pat down at the airport. Fortunately, after leaving discouraged, we discovered another restaurant which immediately became our new favorite, called, «de Zagerij.» It’s a warm and friendly place that I’ve reviewed on this site.
I won’t even attempt this place again. You only get one chance to make a first impression. I trust first impressions. I have good instincts. I feel we dodged a bullet. There are plenty of choices in Amsterdam.

This was our first meal in Amsterdam. Holy hell it was hot in here, not sure why but I guess when it’s cold outside they blast the heat, my eyeballs were boiling. All jokes aside, we had a good meal here and the service was pretty good for Dutch standards. My wife ordered a red snapper dish that was their special at the time, it was good but ghastly under-​seasoned and was crying for salt and pepper. My veal was awesome, but again under-​seasoned. The parsnip purée was bland, needed lots of salt to make edible. The meal itself was delicious, and if my only complaint was «more salt» and blandness, it makes it a-​ok in my book. It took a while to get our check because it was very busy, but overall the food was okay and the atmosphere was very nice.

De Luwte is back and better than ever with a clean and relaxing interior accompanied by a fresh menu complete with a beautiful tuna tartar and a smooth carpaccio of Angus beef with paper thin slices of jamon iberico throughout.

The food and service were great in a good location on the canals. I would definately return.

I had been wanting to visit this restaurant for the past 3 years… after a ridiculously overprice and horrible experience at our hotel restaurant, we walked out with nowhere to go. Walking down the street, my husband finally agreed to try it.
Excellent service, inexpensive yummy wines, perfect food and exquisite desserts. We actually dined there twice during our trip.
You will not be disappointed!
