Restaurant MaNoTo Amsterdam
Most terrible restaurant I have ever eaten. I did not even want to make it a problem anymore, but I do not want this to happen to anyone else.
First. I had reserved a table for 18 people at 20:00. Until 20:45 there were still people eating so my guests could not sit at the table.
I saw that it contained their mix appetizer nuts. Well, a guest of mine was allergic to it. I tell them and asked if they could bring a new record. Without the nuts of course. At first I was told that of the 4 starters 1 only contained nuts and she could eat from the other 3. When I told her that I would rather see a new record, because it is quite dangerous for her and could die of it, her colleague who was there was jokingly saying 'then she will not eat that anyway'. Almost had to laugh about it, haha. After almost begging to have a starter without nuts. (Delicious starters though).
Well now comes the Hans Klok section where they came up with a beautiful magic tric.
Apart from the fact that at almost every Iranian restaurants there are things that we never get and in this case saffron beer, which we had ordered, but they did not have in stock. When I asked her about it she said 'Yes I left it for the sake of convenience. I gave your friend a Heineken instead and that is the same price. ' Well, I can tell you that saffron beer cost 5.80 and Heineken less than 3.
But I thought it's my birthday, I do not feel like it at all, so pay it and get out of here.
Bon amounted to 590 euros. I add up to 3x my money and stop 600 euros. All three times I counted 600 euros. Not once 550, not once 650 and not even 500.
And I thought I was still standing or closing that money in the hand, but did not assume that she would take 100 euros, call me back and would casually say with grin that I had given 100 euros too little.
Long story short. Had family and friends with me did not want to make a noise on my own birthday. 100 euros extra typed that my guests and parents would not get anything from it and walked away.
All in all food itself was top notch. But those people there and the service.
I hope you learn from my mistakes and leave MaNoTo Amsterdam nicely to the left.
