Restaurant Daalder*

Its worst service in my life: 1. Food is really nice, but even with this experience, they are able to spoil evening; 2. Most arrogant somelier in the Amsterdam: do not give wines to taste; act as realy bad beheavior person; 3. Serve gluten-containing foods even if you are aware of the allergy ahead of time; 4. Waiting time between dispatches can take 40 minutes. 5. Dirty place; 6. If you already have plans to visit this place, just look at how they bring chance back... I dont have any adea how thay got 1 star Michelin, but its far far away from it!

Had an amazing experience here, especially since it is very difficult for me to find a fine dining experience with the dietary restrictions I suffer because of ibs. The chefs were amazingly accommodating, adjusting the beautiful dishes to be both lactose and gluten free! The menu was refreshing and exciting, with flavours that were complex and packed a punch, but also with some dishes that deserved their spot with modest and simple flavours. The mocktails were fun and made me feel special as my partner and brother had a wine arrangement. They love most of the pairings, though there was some critical feedback about the citrussy white wine pairing with the fatty "perfect egg" dish not being the most optimal choice, but that was soon forgotten with the more interesting duets that came later. The only thing I might have found difficult was the loudness of the music. It was hard to keep a conversation going, and especially difficult to understand the servers’ explanation of the food or wines. It, at times, felt like we were dining in a nightclub which was only amplified by the closed curtains cutting us off from the outside view and the colourful lights hanging above our heads. But then again, it was also an experience unlike any other we've ever had before which made it truly unique. I would not have wanted to miss out on this opportunity, it was a joy to visit, a truly unique experience to eat here as well. The staff was fun and enthusiastic about the food. I was even able to order another dessert, which they then surprised me with a dessert they hadn't introduced on the menu yet. I can see how they earned a star with the concept of this restaurant, the marriage of flavours, impeccable service and the artsy vibe really make it well deserved.
