My meal felt it had been heating up all day: dry caramelised - not in a good way - over cooked cottage pie (Grandmas menu if I remember) My partners meal underwhelming too. I’m left wondering how people rated this venue as consistently high. Our food was mediocre. Staff and ambiance were good though - so our first Amsterdam evening was rescued - just!

While the staff were very nice, the food was very disappointing. I had Menu 2 - casserole with mashed potatoes. There was only a very very thin layer of ground beef on the bottom. It was mostly just mashed potatoes and cheese. And the oil they used to make this dish tasted rancid which gave it an unpleasant taste. My husband had Menu I with hutspot, kale and sauerkraut mash. Don’t expect these three flavors to jump out. They are basically potato balls in different colors. The main ingredient of these balls is potato. Desserts were nothing to write home about. All in all it felt like this place was overhyped. The only positive was the staff who were very kind.

The food was wonderful, service was quick and very friendly staff. You need to book a table as people queuing for ages outside in very cold temperatures.

We visit Amsterdam on a regular basis both to visit family and to enjoy the city. One place that we include each and every time we are in the city is The Pantry. The food is authentic Dutch food that tastes great, the service is top notch and the atmosphere is wonderful! Make sure to make a reservation or you will spend some time waiting for a table!
