    We had a late lunch early dinner for a friends birthday at Restaurant red. The food was Delicious. I had the croque monsieur. I highly recommend it for a lunch choice. Others at the table had the benedict, the steak and the duck. Everyone was very happy with the food. The service was excellent. Our server was very attentive and timed our appetizers of oysters and escargot to come out before the meals with enough time to enjoy before the entrees. 5 stars all around 😊

    A delightful dining experience in the heart of Amsterdam! It is quaint, charming and relaxing. The food quality is exceptional. I have Celiacs and must avoid gluten. While most of the menu is gluten free, our server checked each item specifically. They even created a lovely dessert for me. We enjoyed beef tartare that rivals what I have enjoyed in Paris. Although it was a tough choice given there was escargot on the menu. My husband had the fresh catch, a whole sea bream. Delicious! Impressive beef dishes and streaks are a focus of the menu. Lucky for me, I enjoyed one of their incredible hamburgers with bleu cheese. Wow! They even offered a gluten free bun. We had a side of charred asparagus with Gruyère cheese. This is a - to be discovered - gem! By the way, the service was exceptional and personal. Don’t miss this one!
