We were visiting Amsterdam in May, 2012, and this joint was referred to us. What can I say? Outstanding food and very wide selection in the menu, superb service, very reasonable prices for this kind of restaurant. We've been there 3 times in 5 days. The days we had dinner in other places - wasted opportunity. At dinner time, especially... More

The restaurant is amazing - it is made up of 6 different buildings, all connected from the inside! The food was like traditional dutch comfort food and the service was nice. Will be going back!

This is the first place we ate when we got in town. We were not let down at all. The food is very good.

Eat good Dutch food in a Franz Hal's setting. Wood paneled walls, small tables, and overflowing with atmosphere. The menu was extensive and the servings large.

This restaurant is well situated in City Center near Spui and was recommended as a source of authentic Dutch cuisine. Although it has multiple dining rooms, it does get very crowded and reservations are in order unless you arrive for an early or late meal. They also accept some tourist groups but these seem to be seated in separate dining... More

Our hotel concierge recommended Haesje Claes for Dutch cuisine on our first night in Amsterdam. It's a very charming and cozy restaurant with multiple dining areas.

This restaurant really stood out on our trip. Terrific, friendly service and good food. Make a reservation, though, they're really busy.

Our hotel desk clerk recommended the restaurant and gave us directions to walk there. After getting lost twice and calling the hotel three times, we found the place and could not get a table. We made a reservation for the next evening and I am glad we did. The restaurant is much bigger on the inside than it looks. There... More
