The Royal Industrieele Groote Club

Reviewed By mmuk66 - Edinburgh, United Kingdom

We stopped at the club while visiting Amsterdam. The location of the club, right in the dam square, is perfect to take a mid day break. Wines recommended by the staff were delicious and probably best priced in the whole of the city. Lunch was delicious and service was great. We sat in the balcony for a while over looking the Dam square and it was brilliant way to enjoy a cigar, outdoor but protected. Really good service.

In de Waag

Located in the old city gate of Amsterdam, and later the House of Weight.

Reviewed By N3861NVmicheller - Lincoln, United Kingdom

We found this place on our first day of our trip and we enjoyed basking in the sunshine on their terrace eating the waag breakfast. Fabulous and filling. We returned on our second day for dinner, some had the set monthly menu and some ordered off the a la carte menu. All the food was delicious and the waiters explained what we were having as they placed the meals in front of us. The house wines are also palatable as is the locally brewed beers. We returned on our third day for brunch where Dexter gave us a very warm welcome and had a bit of banter with us, he is an asset to the restaurant. I would recommend this place to everyone who visits Amsterdam. I will be back.
