7/10The food was good and definitely tasty. An amuse geulle in between two of our 4 courses would have been preferred, rather than just bread (which was definitely tasty!). Overall the craftsmanship of the chef was of high quality. A single point of improvement would be the portion size. While the royale seemed a bit much, the sole plate seemed a bit small. This is nitpicking, obviously. The sommelier knocked it out of the park, the wine pairings were spot on and added a lot to the experience. The head waiter was ill and heard coughing around the corner throughout the evening. He also had to sneeze while serving our food once. We all went through covid, people should know better than work in a restaurant when ill. This made us uncomfortable for sure. The bald gentlemen who also waited on us was very hard to understand, it would help in the future if he would speak up more. Overall the ambience seemed a bit tense, maybe because of new ownership. We enjoyed our stay but wont return.

10/10Innovative cuisine sourced from their own farm with beautiful photographs to prove it. Service was attentive but discreet. The wine director led us through a series of wines which paired very well with our dishes. The ambience is serene. The whole experience left us floating back to our hotel.

10/10This is the second time we went to this restaurant in Amsterdam. Our luggage was delayed and we decided to have the dinner in the city town rather than waiting for the luggage in the airport. The staff is attentive and the restaurant environment is cosy. The food all come from Netherlands and the dishes are beautifully colored and prepared. They are all excellent, although the proportion is not big.

10/10From the moment we stepped in the door we wondered why Restaurant Vermeer had no stars. Every member of the team was welcoming, knowledgeable and attentive. The food was beautifully presented, tasty and creative. The wine selection was extensive. Service carried the day/evening. We’ll be back for sure.

10/10+1Vermeer offered a.exceptional dining experience for both the adventurous and more conservative people in our mixed age group from early 20’s to mid 50’s. . From the introductory crudités through to the parting treats our 5 course tasting menu offered culinary delights accompanied by attentive service. We were enticed by the evening we spent with Vermeer. Dank u wel!

10/10What a wonderful restaurant! The food was modern, innovative and tasted incredible. I had the tasting menu of six courses which was punctuated with various ‘mis en bouche’ which were all delicious too. The service could not be faulted very attentive without being over the top. I would go back in a heartbeat!

9.5/10Definitely one of the very best Restaurant. Cooking skills are insane!! I think it should be more expensive. They gave us everything everything. Heart&Soul. However it is 2024 and 85 euros for this food experience is to less money. Sound design is lit as well :) the last food experience on this level was for me Fäviken Are Sweden ;) c u soon Ruby

10/10Amazing Michelin restaurant in the heart of Amsterdam. A stunning find indeed! Pre-booked this tasting experience at Vermeer prior to arrival on a quick city break and glad we did. The whole evening was superb from start to finish. We were made to feel exceptionally welcome and the food was sublime. We have eaten in a handful of Michelin restaurants around the world and for us this is definitely in the top 3. A focus on fresh local produce pulls through every dish served and the flavours are simply amazing. We will most certainly be returning in the near future.

10/10Upon arrival we were greeted cordially at the door. The service and meal were exceptional. The description of the courses as they arrived was done very well and even some of them by the chef himself! A perfect celebratory dinner to cap off a wonderful few days in Amsterdam.

8.5/10The food was excellent. Chef Chris Naylor composed a well balanced menu, and his personal attention of Chris at our table emphasized the importance of high quality food, with high quality craftemanship. The service by the waiters at the table was effective but far from subtle. It would be fitting in a sports eventbut not in a high quality restaurant. I have to be fair to some of the waiters. They were more discreet and more pleasant to have at the table. The music was absolutely not matching the quality of the meal. The music would fit better at Stabucks.
Restaurant Vermeer • Owner
Thank you for your comprehensive feedback! A delayed reaction due to the summer holidays. Sorry for this. It is a pity to read that our service and music have not been appreciated, but lovely to read that you enjoyed Chris Naylor's menu. We hope to see you again and then we will do our best to meet your personal wishes.

10/10A superb meal - every course was first class. Great flavour combinations, fresh ingredients and the wine pairing really added to the taste experience. Also, friendly and attentive service. We were really surprised that Chris Naylor hasn’t been awarded a Michelin Star - he certainly deserves one!

9/10It was a great experience for my daughter's birthday dinner. The restaurant team gave her a birthday card with all the team member signed, It was so sweet. Moreover , the service during the whole night was great. Food quality was high and well presented. The wine list was excellent with lots of wine from small region to choose from. Definitely will return if I drop by Amsterdam again.

10/10We went for the 5 course menu with matching wines. The whole meal was excellent with service to match being guided through each course with good explanations of the food and wine. Not rushed at all so a most enjoyable three hours.

3.5/10We were very disappointed with this restaurant. The food had such a strong and vinegary tastes we couldn't it it. To put the cherry on the cake the price was colossal. Never again.

10/10Excellent ambiance and service that was both polished and genuine. We had the five course menu that was actually eight courses with the surprises, and left feeling completely full. Delicious food, inventive use of vegetables, the Michelin star is thoroughly deseved. Thank you, Chris, Fallon and the rest of the team!
