Best Casual Restaurants in IJburg

We loved our time here. The cocktail menu is new and exciting and the staff extremely knowledgeable. Trust their recommendations, our favourite drinks were those recommended. The flavours are complex and surprising and extremely tasty. The food was excellent and the ambience perfect. It was civilised, comfortable and the music at just the right volume for a good conversation. We’ll be back next time we’re in Amsterdam.

Terribly slow service for two people, one being a 4 year old and we didn’t feel prioritized at all. We sat down at 6, ordered bread and one main course. They waited a half hour and until the bread was completely gone to come over and ask “can we start your main” … like what have you been doing this whole time?! took 45 minutes to get our steak form the time we ordered… wild! Staff was kind but oblivious

The meal was amazing including the sourdough bread at the beginning. It was also a beautiful sunny day and we sat by the water. The service was top notch too.

A gem in Amsterdam! We were so pleasantly surprised to find this Italian restaurant that rivals our favorite restaurant in NYC. Fresh pasta (tried the seafood spaghetti and pesto tagliatelle). 2 preparations of the shrimp (cognac and garlic). So yummy! And the caramelized balsamic vinegar! Great and personal service. Thanks for a wonderful 2 days in Amsterdam. They were so good, We ate there daily !

Me and my boyfriend we’re looking for a place to eat and walking past Akbar’s it didn’t look too great, but after we went inside it was beautiful. The service was outstanding, I asked for a recommendation from the server and he suggested something I’d never had before; King Prawn Jalfrezi. It was lovely, just the right amount of spice and they really catered to the level of heat we said we could handle. My boyfriend loved his food and it’s definitely a place we’ll go back to when we return to Amsterdam. An all round excellent experience and I would really recommend it.
