  Although the waiter who sat us was a bit dominant, as in “sit there please” and not letting the other waiters attend us, the bartender was super friendly. We had a nice wine and sparkling water.

  Service was nice but and the food was nice. Nothing spectacular but all tasty and good. Smash burger was great but too rare for one of my colleagues. Perhaps offering the option to choose how customers would like it to be cooked would help this.

  Always a pleasure to visit here. I've attended talks and presentations over the last 30 years and always visit for a drink and food when in Amsterdam. Can be super busy at times but most times you can find a seat, but you can also make a reservation which is helpful. Situated in a great location, so you can eat before going off to a concert in Paradiso for example. And always friendly staff happy to help you out!

  de BALIE (means: “the DESK” or “the COUNTER”) is a nice place to have something to drink and to eat as well. The crew is friendly and helpfull. It can be very busy at times. A cozy and busy gathering place is the best way to describe what the BALIE is all about. They are well known for their “Balieburger van Hollandse ‘dubbeldoel koe’ (Burger of Dutch dairy cow/cornichon/green pepper)”. It tastes (I think) really great!! You can taste the quality of the bread, they seasoned the meat with delicious herbs that is complemented with a fresh salad on the side. It’s great to order it for lunch or dinner. Make sure to order it with their fresh squeezed orange juice. This combo is delicious!!

  Very beautiful and particular restaurant, design is nice and pleasant. Personnel is very gentle, the only flaw is the slow service, meals took about 25 mins to be prepared nevertheless, the eggplant and pea cream sandwich was delicious, and the salad too, extremely fresh and tasty, super recommended. Prices are medium (27€ for a 2 people lunch).
