Lovely Basque restaurant in the middle of the Nine Streets area. Broad wine selection and interesting basque menu. The fresh caught Mackerel was excellent along with the starters. Would definitely recommend and return.

Nothing to do with the Sagardi in Spain. Overpriced, not so much choice in the menu, mostly overpriced meat that it’s not really Spanish. Every country in the world eat meat.

The best basque food you can get outside of the Basque Country. Authentic delicious food with no compromises and amazing wine.

Disappointed with our meal everything seemed rushed, our sharing steak for 4 of us was very tough even though it was the restaurant’s “Basque” style house speciality.

Basque restaurant with outstanding beef that has been aged at least 4 weeks, but also fish options. Good service, fresh salad, nice wine selection. Fairly pricey but worth it.

Excellent food, great service and a fantastic wine list. Our server took us off-menu and made some recommendations for the table. Everyone loved it. Family-friendly, too.

The food was fine but definitely does not meet the basque standards. Anyway the service and atmosphere are really good. Wines extremely overpriced (X3 or X4 retail value).

Way too salty. And this has little to do with real basque cuisine.

Food was very good (the monkfish). Staff was really helpful and friendly. It was very busy, kitchen was clearly overwhelmed, so very long waits. Prices are a touch on the high side to be value for money for the food. Wines are definitely overpriced

No Pintxos because of understaffing, but this is not communicated on the website. Also the waiters are trying to push big pieces of fish and / or meat without proper communication of pricing. Felt like a big tourist trap vibe. Certainly not the same quality as in the Barcelona location. Price quality too high.

Really good Spanish food! Recommend the mushrooms for starters and the beef carpaccio. We had the óctuplos and the ribs that was also very good. The duck was good but not the best I ever had. Friendly and helpful staff and a wide variety of wine.

This restaurant is very successful in terms of food quality and service. I want to give a small detail. The price written on the menu and the food served by the waiter were not the same price. The price written on the account was more than the price on the menu.I objected, they changed the price.I will visit again next time.

As always this place is popping and the food is great. Authentic, focused choice of good stuff. Once again we were greeted by Amy and Aintzane, who recognized us from two years back. It feels like visiting your Basque grandmother for a rowdy family reunion, while she prepares the family supper.

The review of this restaurant cannot be positive, not because the food and its cuisine, which was good, but because of the bad attitude of the two employees attending the customers on Sunday evening, May 29th. As a background of my negative review, I must mention that we, my wife, and I, are from Barcelona, and were spending a few days visiting Amsterdam in a leisure trip. As this restaurant is very close to our hotel, the NH City Center Amsterdam, and being a Basque restaurant with good reviews so far, we decided that it would be a good choice to have dinner there, so we made a reservation for two at 20h30m via The Fork some days in advance. As we are aged and vulnerable persons regarding potential Covid infections, we went to the restaurant the day we arrived at Amsterdam, May 27th, to see how the dining room was to request a table as secluded as possible from the rest of the tables. We were attended by two young ladies from Spain who perfectly understood the situation and offered us the possibility to have dinner in a specific table, very secluded, that was in an open space very near to the entrance. For us was a perfect solution. On May 29th, as we arrived at the hotel earlier than planned, we decided to pass by the restaurant and ask if we could go at 19h instead of at 20h30m. At that moment, there was nobody at the restaurant speaking Spanish (?). To our surprise, the waiter who was at that time at the entrance of the restaurant said to us that the table offered by his Spanish colleagues two days earlier was not available and that we should have dinner at the main dining room, and furthermore that those ladies were not entitled to have compromised such table by any means to anybody. Absolutely disappointed by the lack of flexibility and empathy of this person, we tried once more to explain to him what our situation was and at the end, he, for some reason I ignore, finally agreed to give us such table, but he made us very clear that he was not happy with the idea. The situation had not been pleasant, frankly, but the worst was still to come. Despite the food, I remark again, was good, the dinner was, globally speaking, a very bad experience. Our table was attended by a lady, Amy Nicole, who didn’t speak a word of Spanish either. We were served the entrees quite correctly, but the main courses didn’t arrive. After a long wait of more than 40 minutes, nearly desperate with the long wait, we called the waitress to ask what the reason of the delay. She said, with very bad temper, prepotent and arrogant, that the main dining room was very busy, that they were few waiters/waitresses attending the restaurant and literally that “we shouldn’t complaint because they were making us a favor” attending this table outside the main dining room. Unbelievable!!! We finished our main courses, and without further delay requested the bill, paid, and left the restaurant very disappointed and angry. What could have been a nice dinner in a good Basque restaurant ended up in a very bad experience because the unappropriated behavior, lack of professionality and empathy of these two persons attending the restaurant that day. This restaurant is not precisely cheap and should pay more attention selecting its personnel to avoid reviews of this kind. What for other customers having dinner at Sagardi Amsterdam was a good experience, for us was one to be forgotten, certainly.
