I live in the United States, but I will always stop at SHAM Oost when I'm in Amsterdam. The food is excellent, with generous portions. Service is wonderful and the location is unique and relaxing. I loved it so much the first time I came to Amsterdam that I had to go back on this trip and it didn't disappoint. It's my favorite restaurant in the city.

I had 30% discount I didn’t get it. While I was ordering the worker told me you know that it will cost like this, in an attitude that you can’t pay!!!

great option.. would be nice if the fork deal for yums exchange could be applied to the entire menu and not just the set menu. the taste of all the items was great nonetheless. lots of great variety and classic flavours. obviously a higher end restaurant based on pricing but quality is great!
