Aan De Poel - Amstelveen

Die Küche von Stefan van Sprang überzeugt nicht nur durch eine ausgefeilte Optik und Präsentation, sondern vor allem auch durch kluge Kompositionen, die bei allem Abwechslungsreichtum immer ein klares Harmoniebild in den Vordergrund stellt. Die zwei Sterne, die das „Aan de Poel“ seit 2013 hält, scheinen mir sehr angemessen. Der Service ist versiert, freundlich, aber immer locker und trägt so ebenfalls dazu bei, dass wir uns wohl fühlen. Auch wenn die Menüpreise in den Niederlanden generell noch recht niedrig sind, ist der Preis für diesen Lunch in jedem Fall ein veritabler Schnapper. Als wir das Haus verlassen, ist bereits klar, dass wir wieder kommen werden. Dann auch gerne am Abend. Read more...

We were recommended Aan de Poel by the concierge of our hotel and we are very glad he did. Everything was exceptional. We went with the chef’s 5 course tasting and it was perfect. The meal started with lighter fish dishes with each one getting richer and ending with a venison but never overwhelming. Just a fantastic meal, great service and a beautiful setting.

The restaurant deserves its reputation with excellent food. All five of the chef’s menu dishes were delicious, creative and memorable. The dinner begins with serene outdoor seating for amuse bouche and aperitifs that continues on indoors. The friendly chef himself is involved with the service and explanations and the young team follow his lead with polite and energetic attitude. So a must visit restaurant in Amsterdam for food lovers.

The food was unique, the staff was really nice and the place was super pretty. Especially during sunset. The only culprit was that we expected a long dinner, but not a 5-hour experience. This should have been communicated by the staff to ensure our schedule fits. A table of 3 with the curated menu and wine pairing, coffee, and an extra dessert came out ~830 euros. Highly recommended.

This is a high end 2 Michelin Star restaurant, so probably not for every day. I went here for a special occasion. They adapted all courses to be gluten free and took extreme care to avoid cross contamination. With every course one of the chefs came out and also explained how they adapted the dish to make it celiacproof. Extremely knowledgeable and friendly staff, excellent food, highly recommended if it fits your budget.
