This restaurant deserves a higher ranking on Tripadvisor because it is among the very best in Amsterdam. I've been to many places, but Bolenius their food is imaginative, light, contemporary, creative, fresh... That coupled with their fantastic service makes lunch a great experience here. The treats that come with the coffee are a dessert by themselves, and inspired by traditional... More

Frankly this was just too precious, too fussy and too modern for modern's sake. Portions small. The lesson that needs to be learned is that different and new are not ends to themselves.

Sorry to go against the majority of other reviews. The service and attention were great but the quantities are miniscule. If you like food to be an art form and you have deep pockets then give this a try. A main dish of just four postage stamp size pieces of steak and streaks of pureed veg will cost over 25... More

What a sensational experience, a lunch at Bolenius outside on their terrace! The decor is clean and sleek, very elegant. The host and waitstaff were terrific, the service was perfectly-timed. Wafers of crisp bread are presented on-edge, wedged into a hefty chunk of rock with a slit carved into it. The meal started with several amuse-bouches: two 'aerated' olives, an... More
