10/10Bougainville was an amazing dining experience. The staff was perfectly efficient while being engaging, thoughtful and full of personality. This is a level of service rarely seen in fine dining. The food was exceptional. It was innovative and creative with artistic presentations. In addition, it was delicious! The popcorn and caviar ice cream was outrageous! The wine list was well thought out with plenty of gems from around the world. This was our first visit to Bougainville but we will be back. This is what fine dining at the highest level looks like. Bravo! Bougainville deserves more stars!

8/10+6The service was good, and all the servers were friendly. They chit-chat and give out recommendations for the cocktails, all of which were amazing.

10/10+2WOW! I have had a hobby of fine dining for many years, and have been to some extraordinary restaurants. THIS PLACE . . . incredible! So friendly and fun in addition to serving an incredible menu, with each dish looking like an artistic masterpiece, and delicious! AND . . . I so enjoyed NOT being told what kind of wine was served with each course so I could experience it myself before learning about the wine, region, grapes and taste from the wine expert. WONDERFUL!

10/10This is such a great restaurant - everything you would expect from a Michelin star. The atmosphere, the staff and the food. I was blown away by the creativity and favour of the food. Everything perfect on the plate and the tastes in your mouth was amazing. So happy to have gone here and totally worth a visit.

10/10High quality food, exceptional service all set in a very relaxed atmosphere. We opted for the 7 course tasting menu with wine pairing and each course/wine was a wonderful experience. Our sommelier, Melody, was a delight and guided us through our gastronomic adventure with humour and insight. This is a relaxed 5 star venue, not stuffy or quiet, as they played good music at reasonable volume levels that complimented the friendly and attentive nature of their service. Highly recommended!

10/10Perfection in every way. After being named Trip Advisor's number one restaurant in the world, we had to try it. Many restaurants would rest on their laurels, but it appears Restaurant Bougainville has used their exposure to elevate the restaurant even more We started with a drink in the Hotel 27 bar (highly recommend this, it's a beautiful setting and very creative cocktail menu with several unique signature drinks). Once we moved into the dining room, we had the 6 course chef's tasting menu with the wine pairing. Of course the 6 course tasting menu is more like a 12-14 course menu as there are starters, palate cleansers, and other extras. The food is inventive while still being "gourmet comfort" food, and the wine pairings created by Ronald were spectacular. The wine pairings were enhanced by him bringing us the wine first but not telling us what wine it is, then asking us to taste it, then bringing the food to taste again with the pairing. After we were done with the tasting and pairing, he would present the bottle and explain everything about it and why he chose it as a pairing. This way any preconceived notions of various wines did not detract from the pairing. They accommodated a scallop allergy with a dish that was equally amazing. The service was spectacular. I have eaten at many Michelin Star restaurants, and I would rate the food and service here more on par with Michelin 2 star restaurant. It is the best 1 star we have been to.

The restaurant decor is gorgeous and very cozy, along with the beautiful music which made the atmosphere very elegant. We will definitely be back.

5/10Very disappointing. Paid almost 400 euro to eat a main dish which was basically a hot dog. Starters were tasteless. Super expensive. I will not return to that place again.

10/10The wine pairing approach was incredibly thoughtful. Better pairing experience than most of the Michelin starred restaurants I've attended over the years; additive and creative, not just stereotypical and predictable. Each course demonstrated a variety of flavor profiles and techniques. I hope to return in the future.

10/10+2We have eaten in many Michelin Star restaurants around the world, this has to be at the top of our list for the quality of food. Sublime flavours mixed with original presentation, excellently served by a very attentive team.

10/10This is an exceptionally good restaurant. Service is great, and every single plate is memorable. We had a 5 course dinner and it was outstanding. Also, the appetizers are a great fusion between Mediterranean and oriental cousine. Also wine pairing was excellent made and offered. It delivered it status.

5/10The sommelier offered us a bottle of wine without the capsule over the cork??!! And after that I had to ask to smell the cork... I was even not sure that this guy was a sommelier. The dishes were good, but not exceptional, except the duck, we didn't like the duck at all. The waitresses noticed that and offered an additional cheese step to our menu free of charge . This was nice. But at the end we didn’t receive a second dessert as we saw that they served it at the tables next to us. Overall experience is medium to negative. Definitely the star is not deserved.

10/10I must say that my dining experience at Bouganville Restaurant in Amsterdam was exceptional. The seven-course menu was a true feast for the senses, with each dish expertly crafted using the highest quality ingredients to create a symphony of flavors on the plate. The service was attentive and personalized, and the ambiance was sophisticated and luxurious. I highly recommend Bouganville Restaurant to anyone looking for an unforgettable dining experience in Amsterdam.

10/10Excellent restaurant. Did not have a single piece of food that I would complain about, good stable quality. Sometimes felt that I got asked too many times if everything is alright, but I just take it as a cultural difference.

10/10As we entered, we were welcomed to the building and then to the restaurant. Nicely seated. We decided on the 6 course taster menu which we both agreed was some of the best food we had ever eaten. It was definitely the high point of the trip to Amsterdam. My favourite dish was the red mullet and my girlfriends was the duck. I highly recommend treating yourself to an exquisite meal/experience.
