We chose the seven-course tasting menu, and each dish showed real thought in both flavor and presentation, the food itself was exquisite. The chef brings you into a culinary experience and the location is beautiful.
However, the experience was a little bit disappointing. Dinner lasted four hours, with waits of up to an hour between courses. Meanwhile, a nearby table was served dishes in quick succession, which made the delays even more frustrating. Unfortunately, the long pauses between courses overshadowed what was otherwise an excellent meal.
A family restaurant serving multi-course menus. The food was amazing with surprisingly decent portion sizes for a restaurant of this style. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, and the service was excellent.
Mijn bezoek aan De Silveren Spiegel was werkelijk een bijzondere ervaring.
Wij kozen voor de zesgangenlunch en elk gerecht was een feestje op zich. De smaken waren verfijnd en perfect in balans, en de bijpassende wijnen maakten het geheel helemaal af.
Kortom: een fantastische culinaire beleving op een schitterende plek. Absoluut een aanrader voor wie op zoek is naar iets bijzonders in Amsterdam.
A dining experience that feels like a journey through Dutch heritage, guided by craftsmanship and storytelling. De Silveren Spiegel brings its 7 Course Menu to life through the vision & passion of Yves Van Der Hoff whose culinary voice is present in every detail.
Each course unfolds like a conversation starting light & expressive with trout and citrus, moving into the elegance of white asparagus & beurre blanc, then building depth with lamb & guinea fowl, before closing with beautifully composed desserts. The balance, sequencing & flavor layering reflect a chef who understands not just technique but emotion on a plate.
The setting completes the experience with a historic Dutch interiors that feel intimate, authentic, & rich in character, as if time itself is part of the concept.
A rare moment where chef, cuisine, and heritage align seamlessly creating something that goes beyond dining into pure expression.
Truly delightful experience. Exceptional skill from the kitchen. A wonderful evening.
Heerlijke gegeten in dit restaurant. Bijna onverwachts goed in zo’n toeristisch gebied. Karakteristiek pand met originele elementen. De Gerechten zijn mooi opgemaakt. De smaken zijn subtiel en passen goed bij elkaar. De door de ober voorgestelde wijnen passen goed bij de gerechten. Attente bediening.
Enige minpunt: de cappuccino kan beter maar dit kon de pret niet drukken. Wij komen terug.
Wauw, ik geef 5 sterren, maar had 2 sterren moeten zijn. Michelinsterren welteverstaan… 💙
Zo he! Altijd gedacht dat dit een tourist trap is. Geen idee waarom. Heerlijk gegeten (lunch), gedronken en hele fijne bediening. Prachtig opgemaakte en heel smakelijke bordjes. Geweldig!
An unforgettable fine dining experience!
The tasting menu was absolutely exceptional — every course was beautifully presented and perfectly balanced in flavor. The fish dishes were especially outstanding, fresh, elegant, and full of depth. The atmosphere in this historic building was warm and romantic, and the service was impeccable from beginning to end.
This was truly one of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had. The attention to detail, creativity, and quality were remarkable. I highly recommend De Silveren Spiegel to anyone visiting Amsterdam — it is a must-visit restaurant.
A true culinary experience! Maybe one of the best meals I have ever had in my life! Got the tasting menu and it was delicious. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Amsterdam.
Had an amazing experience here, Francisca and Chris made the meal especially memorable both courteous and charming, with Chris having exceptional attention to detail and a meticulous nature to ensure your table is perfect. The presentation, quality and taste of each course is wholly deserving of the restaurant being Michelin starred. The intimate size of the venue and historic building adds a lot to the atmosphere and is not as cold as other contemporary restaurants can be at this price point. It provides a great warmth and makes the dining feel very relaxed. I would definitely recommend and hope to see it awarded its first star of three.
A fabulous experience, one of the best fine dining meals we’ve had - between the services the food and the wine, in a beautiful old building. Usually there’s one dish which leaves us unimpressed but here every mouthful was exceptional. Well done
Superba esperienza, indimenticabile! In una casa storica, inclinata oltre il tollerabile e con fessure nel pavimento che permettono di vedere il piano di sotto, in cui è vissuto un sindaco nel 18º secolo, una cena di 7 portate che introduce in un pianeta che è difficilmente immaginabile in un paese colto, moderno ma notoriamente poco incline alla cucina complessa. Qui siamo ad un livello che, incredibilmente, la Gault & Millau ha premiato con “soli” 15 punti: ma che vi deve preparare uno Chef per arrivare almeno a 18 (come io penso sia il minimo possibile ad un simile livello)? Mah. Dagli antipastini dello Chef e poi dal 1º al 7º piatto, tutto è un elegante, squisito, inappuntabile, inaspettato, artistico fuoco d’artificio. Chapeau 5 volte. PS: guardate pure le foto ma vi assicuro che non rendono minimamente l’idea della realtà raffinata bontà di CIASCUN piatto.
