10/10the dinner at bridges was a wonderful experience. we had the chef's menu (tasting menu). it consisted of excellent food, creatively prepared. the wine pairing was imaginative and plenty, the service was outstanding (very informative, approachable and not overbearing). the price to quality/quantity ratio was very good. we spend a very enjoyable 3.5h evening.

6/10Dinner started out great but the cauliflower course was disappointing, the fish uninspiring and the veal dish was very chewy. So the mains did not support the superb appertizers. Service was slow-ish; pace could have been faster. 6-7 rating.

9/10The hibiscus foam for the amuse bouche was subtle and refreshing, the scallop dish divine and the langoustine with foie gras inspired, then the dinner took a wrong turn with the perch not being remarkable and the pigeon breast a bit lazy as an idea and execution, the earlier plates showed more passion. The desert was a redeeming factor, ending the night on a high note. The service was impeccable. Price quality not so much 7.5€ for tap water….

8.5/10this is a well laid out restaurant with a nice feel, good lighting and well spaced tables. The menu, even a la carte is quite limited. Plates are not warmed enough before plating. Service was a bit variable. We did have a issue with one of the plates but the restaurant manager quickly intervened and took care of it. Staff were friendly and we had an enjoyable evening

10/10Service was over the top! So grateful for the staff. I proposed to my now fiancé just before going to the restaurant and was running a half an hour late - they graciously made space for us and stayed well after 10pm for us. They food was impeccable, we had the salted sea bass and were blown away. I am astonished. Just wonderful. Couldn’t recommend more.

10/10The food and service was superior. In fact, it is difficult to accept that this restaurant does have a two star Michelin rating. The advantage to patrons is that, while it waits to be rediscovered (it did have a one star Michelin but lost it) the pricing is very reasonable.

9.5/10What a brilliant experience! I invited my parents for their wedding anniversary and we had a fantastic time. The people there are very nice and caring, the food was absolutely delicious, the flavors, the textures, a real joy.. We asked the sommelier for a recommendation as we wanted to try a Dutch wine and the wine was just perfect with our menu. We had the 5 courses lunch menu and each course was a delight for the senses. Beautiful, tasty and cooked to perfection. Highly recommended!

10/10Had dinner with my friend, the restaurant location was right at the Center of the city, nicely decor (we got a table facing the water). We ordered the tasting menu, good value for a 7 course tasting menu, seafood was prepared nicely and the flow of the food was good. Some dishes could hv been salted a bit more but overall, not overwhelming but well defined and great 7-course.

10/10I booked a table at Bridges for my partners birthday and I can say it was an amazing evening for sure. All of the arrangements and extras I had asked for prior to us arriving were all met and the communication with the restaurant was very responsive too. The ambiance and service was exceptional and the food was beyond our expectation. Would definitely recommend and will visit again upon returning to Amsterdam !
