Excellent food, nice atmosphere. We took seven course tasting menu with accompanying wines, sommelier was entertainment in itself. Food and wines are delicious. I would highly recommend.

This place is absolutely first class in every way. Head chef Chris Naylor trained under Albert Roux and follows the master's philosophy of lettings the finest ingredients speak for themselves. The imaginative wine parings are in the same league. Mortgage your grandmother and eat here!

An unbelievable dining experience! I can fully agree with most of the reviewers that this is one of the best restaurants in Amsterdam ... but beware certainly not cheap in fact the only misleading info was actually the TA 'price range' of €25-28 You'll need to double that for not very much. We opted for the 7 course taster with... More

The Maitre d'hôtel Niek Beute was absolutely charming and... More

Very luxury restaurant and not very expensive at the same time. The food is gourmet style and the service is professional.

Some describe the decor of this restaurant as "simple" or "sober". I don't understand that. I think it is quite lush, with great lighting, paintings, a fireplace, flower arrangements. I really loved it. The stone floor did not cause noises. Take the restaurant entrance at left, not that of the hotel. 8 tables, set wide apart so you don't hear... More

I'm not the kind of person that likes to dine in Michelin star restaurants but we decided to give it a go for a special occasion and Vermeer happened to have a table available for the same night. You enter a sober, classic, bright white dining room with about 6 or 7 tables. The atmosphere is just a bit on... More

An elegant, but simple atmosphere, an attentive staff, and, above all, some great dishes make eating here an outstanding experience. The 4-course menu (preceded by uncountable amuse-bouches, and followed by delicious friandises) is a wonderful journey amongst the different realms of the cuisine (our menu included: a vegetable, a fish, and a meat dish, and a dessert). All the ingredients... More

This was our 2nd visit and once again food,service and ambience of the highest order. You could expect this to be a stuffy experience but we had a relaxing fun evening with the most amazing food at a reasonable price. All the staff were fantastic...can't praise the Vermeer highly enough.
