Le Restaurant

I was traveling on Business from NYC and wanted a good meal and figured id try Le Restaurant. It was 8:30pm when i stopped in. They were busy. In a manner i felt was quite rude, they simply refused to seat me or even look me in the face… They also refused to provide a time when a table would become available. Ouch! So anyway i left feeling rather humiliated and wandered… after 10 Minutes i stumbled across THE WHITE ELEPHANT THAI restaurant and had one of the best meals of my TRIP. 5 Stars for the White Elephant!

I’ve been meaning to visit this little restaurant for ages. And was it ever worth the wait (and weight, because oh god, so much foooooooood)!
The menu is set before you arrive and for under € 80, they advise you via email that it’ll be a 2 – 3 hour eating experience.
The meal comes without any wine but the staff here were super helpful and even though it wasn’t listed, we were able to get wine by the glass to accompany the meal.
Now service was incredible, every single dish came out at exactly the right time. Some were served to us by the wait staff and some were served by the chefs themselves!
With 12 dishes in total and a bonus one (the little madeleine which I should have just said no to because I was bursting), the entire meal was a beautiful performance that stunned with every dish. The amount of flavours they managed to squeeze into every dish, was incredible!
But the highlight for me was the rhubarb and ice cream. Wafer thin candied rhubarb, poached rhubarb and rhubarb compote with a sprinkling of cucumber relish, artfully plated with a delicate curl of buttercream ice cream; this was a perfect balance of tart and sweet. It was lightly dusted with something that I can’t quite remember but honestly, the entire dish was just magic in my mouth!
If you’re looking for a way to spoil yourself in Amsterdam, this is it! I would advise reservations, stretchy pants and an appetite! 5 stars!

What a place, one of Amsterdam’s finest. The food is just perfect with every course just as delicious. From start to finish a great place to have dinner.
Personnel is very sophisticated and nice. The interior is very classical which is maybe something you need to be ‘okay’ with.
Would really recommend Le Restaurant. Absolutely worth your money!

Absurd. What more can I say, but Le Restaurant Amsterdam delivers, and literally, the chefs deliver the plates to your table. The wine selection is amazing and the 15 bites keeps you guessing and incredibly satisfied. Le Restaurant brings the creativity of a team of food experts to your plate from the food prep, delivery and accompaniment. Go.
