Amigo Grill Restaurant

Located on Prinsengracht, Amigo Grill Restaurant,  has great views of the city's most famous landmark, Westerkerk and its 85 meter  (almost 279 feet) high tower, which was completed in 1638.

This Argentinian-themed eatery has colourful murals of gaucho cowboys and a large cow staring down from the ceiling.  It has comfortable seating, together with a delightful outside terrace.

Catering predominantly to tourists,  the restaurant shares its kitchen with Amigo restaurant, a few doors down,  just around the corner, on Rozengracht.

In general, the restaurant attracts good reviews for its meat dishes, but a recent lunchtime visit proved to be a great disappointment.  Having reserved for four persons, three decided to begin with onion soup, which arrived as a tasteless watery clear broth, most likely made from a powder substance, bearing no resemblance to its namesake. Each person took a spoonful and declined to finish the remainder. The calamari was edible, but nothing to write home about.

My main pasta course arrived fifteen minutes before the dishes ordered by the remainder of the group.  Having waited until the rest were served, it became  unappetisingly cold. All dishes suffered from a serious lack of seasoning, and none were returned fully consumed.

The apple pie cheesecake, ordered out of curiosity, contained no cheesecake whatsoever; We were totally mystified why it was named as such.

The solitary waitress had done her best to be accommodating  throughout, in what was clearly an awkward situation. We were offered a glass of liqueur with the bill. Unsure if this was restaurant policy, or her attempt to appease, but it was a nice gesture.

Would we return any time soon? Highly unlikely.

A really good Argentinian restaurant! The price was really good and the food excellent! Highly recommended!

The service was good meet with a smile 😀 food was really nice (just not amazing) timing of the food wasn’t to good as could have been. BUT would go back

Fantastic all round. Food, service and location were all terrific. We had the mixed grill and it did not disappoint. Seasoned well, cooked too perfection and great portions.

Fantastic setting if you sit outside by the canal. Service was wonderful. Food came out quickly. We shared one of the complete plates for two, which had more than enough food for three people. Meat was plentiful, but the steak and chicken were very bland (just salt/pepper). Recommend ordering one of the sauces that may have been on the menu.

With my husband want to eat something for lunch but not to much, walking from Amsterdam we found Amigo Grill, it was delicious 🤤! Perfect we was searching, we ordered just the entrance, empanadas de carne and chorizo 😋, the personal attention was very good 😊. Thank you Amigos Grill !!

I loved my ribeye steak! I ordered it medium well, and it was juicy and delicious. I also ordered the green salad, it was delicious too...
The service was great also. I highly recommend this place.
