Altmann
Amsteldijk 25, Amsterdam, phone: (020) 662 77 77 |

Dark leather benches, off-white walls and abundant candlelight offer the visitor of Altmann Restaurant & Bar a feeling of subdued luxury.
The classic atmosphere of the interior design fits perfectly with the characteristic 19th century corner building, within a stone's throw of the Amstel Hotel.
In the centre of the restaurant, you will find an elevated platform, the 'VIP-deck', with four round tables for guests who 'like to be seen'. The internationally oriented restaurant has eighty seats. |

Booked a table (2 adults) for 6pm, knew the rough location but had issues with getting on the right tram to get there! Tried to call restaurant to advise we would be late, but mobile would not connect me. Arrived at 6.45pm, no problems with being seated (think if we'd have turned up much later though, we might not have been so lucky!). Host/waiter was excellent, coats/scarfs taken straight away. Interior is faaarr better than the images/vids you see on their website, it is far more romantic and ambient that the website makes out. Nice touch with the 'free' minature starter. The Alacarte menu is extremely tasty and varied (and easy to understand, unlike some 'plush' places!) but don't expect to turn up and eat one or 2 courses as the meals are small. The evening was unrushed and felt very private even though it did fill up gradually. House white wine was lovely (we ended up having 2!), for the 'free' starter, the main starter, the main meal and a gorgeous Chocolate Brownie Dessert (recommended) and 2 bottles of wine, it set me back around £165. Usually I would pull my face at such a price, but it certainly was money well spent and as a treat, I would recommend Altmann to any couple visiting Amsterdam. |

Imagine being a visitor in Amsterdam for New Year's Eve, having booked a table for two at Altmann's a month in advance(or so i've thought) and got a taxi there, only to realize the place was dead shut!
Needess to mention anything else...Happy New Year Mr.Altmann! |

This is a charming restaurant with fabulous food. Service was exceptional and very pleasant. The magician made things fun, tho he was not a whiz bang technician.
The only negative comment I would have is that it's sort of noisy.
The portions of food were ok...and they gave small freebies like a sushi and a candy stick. However, one of our party ordered a souffle...and was told it was medium sized....but OMG it was huge AND delicious! The dessert trolley lets you order as many desserts as you want...and all are wonderful!
4 stars except for noise! |

Service can definately be improved - for example it is common that the lady is served first which is not the case at Altmann and it is annoying as this is supposed to be fine dining. Other than that it is lovely |

Overall it was fun. The service was very friendly even if they were a bit slow. I would definitely suggest getting a drink at the bar before starting dinner because they took a while to get us anything to drink besides water, which was inexplicably served very quickly when we waited for almost everything else.
I had the seared tuna starter, which I found a bit bland, but my wife had the pizza, which she found quite good. We had both of the soups and they were very good. She had the steak and I had the lobster but I had that only because they were out of the scallops. My wife very much liked her steak but the lobster was just OK to my tastes. It could have used a little more "pop" to its flavor. A caveat...I like my flavors strong so someone with more sensitive tastes might be very happy with it.
The desserts were excellent. They have a caramel dessert that at least one person at each table should try...it will surprise you!
Overall an very solid value for the money and a fun place to see and be seen. |

Had a excellent dinner last night at Altmann. Good menu with fantastic presentation and quality. Service far out shone the usual for Amsterdam, with a lite dose of theatrics which added an extra dimension to the night.
Highly recommended! |
