With a stay at the Waldorf Astoria, we asked for a great local restaurant. Here it is, only a half block away this hidden gem is hard to match. Fun atmosphere, greatest staff ever, great Tapas menu will filled up on. Don't miss it!!!
Diner with friends. Solid tapas experience. Food was tasty and diverse wine selection was also nice. A bit expensive. Great smiling and fast service that night.
Really good tapas, loved the pimientos de padron, meatballs, garlic shrimps and croquettes. The churros are a bit different than the traditional ones, they have chocolate inside. Nevertheless very good ☺️
Came here tonight with my two sisters and had a great experience. The waiters were super friendly and the restaurant looked nice, but most importantly: the food was amazing. Every dish tasted great- and freshly made. Also: the cheesecake was one of the best i’ve ever had. Definitely coming back here ᵕ̈
This place was so good, affordable and friendly we had to go back again before we left Amsterdam!! Our favorite was the mussels, we can never get this quality and taste in the US for the same price. 100% worth going out of the city a bit to visit this place. The servers were super friendly and helpful as well :)
This is the one place I would definitely come back to when im visiting Amsterdam.

Really fast service and delicious food 😋
All the dishes were really delicious and I would recommend trying the Chef's selection of tapas, because they were the best.
We only found the Sangria not the best and the cheesecake was not fresh. But the rest of the desserts were really good.

Dropped in from the market outside to shelter from the rain and have a beer. The olives we had with the beer were so good that we ordered a few tapas from the very friendly and busy staff. T
hey did not disappoint and we stayed for a couple more. Great value

Very cozy place, warm atmosphere and kind staff. The dishes were of the right size if you’re looking for a dinner that isn’t excessively filling. We had the garlic shrimps, the patatas bravas, ribeye, the grilled vegetables and the chicken. I would recommend the ribeye and the patatas, they were delicious. They were also so kind to call us a taxi when we had to leave. Would definitely recommend.
One the best tapas bar in Amsterdam!
The atmosphere and vibe brings you to the Spain, and you really feel like teleported to Spain.. the food was amazingly delicious, we loved almost everything but especially
- grilled shrimps,
- tortilla de patat y espinacas,
- brochetta de solomillo
The staff were so helpful and friendly..
Also almost every sunday night, you can watch live flamenco show while eating your tapas with fresh sangria 🍷

Bartenders kept charging me different prices when I ordered the same drinks. They tried to charge me €14 for a grolsh and a cider so I called them out, they said it was an accident and reduced the charge by more than €5. Terrible to take advantage of people trying to have a good night
Beste Tapas Bar in der Stadt? Vielleicht! Sie steht jedenfalls ganz oben.
Für mich persönlich ein Geheimtipp in Amsterdam für Tapas! So gut, dass ich an zwei aufeinanderfolgende Tage dort zum Abendessen war. Ich habe es einfach geliebt.
Das Ambiente: Erste Sahne!
Der Service: Super nett, zuvorkommend und aufmerksam.
Das Essen: Hervorragend!
Besser geht’s nicht ♥️ DANKE!

Myself and my partner were looking for a nice place to eat out while on our holiday and this place was honestly such a delight! The place is really well laid out and the food is to die for! The grilled bread with a side of sauce was both of our favourites and really set the tone for the meals to come. We had the Pollo chicken dish and the steak cuts as our mains and have nothing bad to say at all! Super super tasty, good portion sizes and affordable. If your questioning “is this place good”? Don’t even worry about it!
I was already a fan of Duende Dos, so my expectations were high already. Duende tapas bar is in the old Jordaan, no reservation possible (only for groups above 6), but plenty of tables in the terrace, at the bar or in the two big rooms. Although completely full, we waited just 15 minutes and we then had a sit.
The service is really fast, we had sangria while enjoying delicious tapas: pimiento de padron, brochetta de solomillo, questo manchego, a tortilla, croquetas de jamon, tostadas con jamon, fried aubergine with onion. My favourite ones: cheese and the tostadas!
1.5 jar of sangria and 2 glasses of cava, overall bill 68€ (34 each) 👍🇪🇸

Pretty typical but average food. Too much fried food on the menu. That’s all for now.
Schönes Restaurant, mit schönem Ambiente. Allerdings obwohl wenig los war, war es doch ziemlich laut. Das Essen hat aber sehr lecker geschmeckt, ist aber auch relativ teuer. Bei den Getränken gibt es viel Auswahl, von Wein bis alkoholfreien Cocktails ist alles dabei.
It was very busy, popular with the locals too. The food was served very quickly, staff friendly.
There was a buzz in the evening
Chicken & pardon peppers where my favourite dishes
We also ordered mushrooms, tortilla, chorizo

Wonderful tapas restaurant! Our most enjoyable meal whilst in Amsterdam for a few days. Great atmosphere for dinner and excellent service. Being able to see through the servery I could see the 'stars of the show', the chefs, preparing the food so professionally and taking such care. 5 stars all round!
I was very reluctant about going to this place because of all of the reviews saying the bouncers etc are racist. Luckily I didn’t have that experience at all. The bouncer and all servers were nice and helped two African Americans with directions too! Hope things stay that way!
All cocktails are not €5 on Wednesdays, it’s just four specific cocktails. I tried three of them and they were okay. Nice seating area outside. Staff are nice ☺️
I do not recommend. The staff was really rude especially the 2 male bouncers and the ticket staff girl at the entrance. They assumed that we were not 21+ without checking our IDs and didn’t let us go inside while there were literally 15 years old looking girls coming out of the bar. I felt so ashamed when they told me to leave for no reason. The bouncer became so aggressive as well. One of the worst experiences in Amsterdam, worst bar in Leidseplein.
Kopstootbar has a great atmosphere, friendly staff, and is the perfect place to celebrate a special occasion. I celebrated my birthday here and I was very pleased by the support from the bar staff, always accommodating and helpful. A special feature is the bar and club concept. As the night wears on, it gradually transforms into a club with house/disco music, which makes both chilled evenings and party in one possible.
Absolute banger of a bar! Have the time of my life every-time i go. The music is great, the drinks are delicious and the bartenders are amazing, in particular two young men gur and barend. I always catch them working super hard and trying their absolute best. If you’re looking to go somewhere on the weekend this is the place to be. You will have a blast guaranteed!
Great bar and amazing vibes! There were 2 bartenders, who’s names are Gur and Barend, who were one of the nicest members of staff I have ever encountered. Later in the evening they start playing louder disco-music and it’s perfect to dance and grab drinks with friends or your partner. Would definitely recommend.
Definitely there are better places to be rather than this place. The staff is rude and they treat you as you are not even an human being.
Besides that, music is too loud and the layout of the bar is dangerous. Getting drinks takes you a lot of time.
Anyway, I recommend going somewhere else, especially if you are not Dutch. Nobody goes out with their friends to be poorly treated in some bad venue.
