Extremely pleased with everything - seating, view, staff, food. Absolutely brilliant! It lives up to the expectations, and even surpasses them. The thing that caught my attention is that even though it is an upscale restaurant, the staff were quite friendly, relaxed, and even witty, which was unexpected.

Outside category. Both the kitchen and the service. Operation relaxed and humorous, but very skilled. Dishes piece by piece taste sensations. Portioning good, even with the full menu maybe a bit much. Control yourself with the cheese wagon, because with coffee more than a Maria-jaw is served .... All in all, an experience.

A small advantage of the corona is that there are now lunch options here for the first time. And still on Sunday, so you can park the car in the street for free, handy. Please wait at the reception until you are picked up by charming ladies. Then with the elevator to the 23rd floor where I was met and escorted to a lounge table at the window with a view over Amsterdam center, fine.
As an aperitif, the house champagne, Brut Authentique from Le Brun de Neuville, which was excellent. The first appetizer was inspired by Amsterdam, a bitterbal filled with a celeriac cream, with a layer of mayonnaise seasoned with bay leaves and cassia with a slice of pickle. Original flavors and good texture. A shelf was placed in which the used herbs were displayed.



The first supervisor was enthusiastically presented with passion and know-how. The Brut Authentique Blanc de Blanc from Le Brun de Neuville that fitted in nicely with the aperitif. A well-known signature dish from the kitchen on a finely decorated plate. A crispy celeriac cylinder filled with softly cooked king crab meat, covered with beurre blanc ice cream and a spoonful of Baeri caviar. Combine all flavors together. Very refined flavors with subtle salty touch, the champagne functioned as a flavor enhancer. (9.25)





For dessert wine a Zweigelt Beerenauslese 2017 from Kracher, nicely round with notes of strawberry and ripe plum, delicious. A sleek presentation on a white plate with a gold rim. A donut-shaped praline filled with chocolate mousse, eggnog and cake with a modest crunch, finished at the table with a delicately spiced caramel sauce with a touch of cardamom. Good chocolate taste with a hint of eggnog and soft textures. The wine complemented the dish with its delicious aroma and beautiful acids. (9) The wooden board was now filled with spices from the VOC, nice.

To conclude, a powerful espresso with a delicious apple pie and five refined friandises in which various spices came back, fine.

Service was great class, two enthusiastic SVH masters who pampered you with passion, supplemented with a large brigade of young talent.

In summary, it was a special experience, beautiful presentations of original dishes in different styles, alongside excellent wines. This In a luxurious ambiance with beautiful views over the center of Amsterdam and perfect service. Thanks!

The price quality ratio is at Ciel Bleu better as restaurants like Librije's Zusje or Bord'eau.
Chef's specialty is a must. Do try the Ciel Blue beer, since most michelinstar restaurants lack a good choice of beer. There are a few dishes that really fit this (ask the service if not told). I personally love the selection of cheese. Would recommend.

The restaurant had OK food in extremely small portions. The bread was tasty but I've had better. It's an extremely fancy restaurant with extremely high prices with just OK food. Trust me - you can eat better food in much larger portions for one fifth of the price..

INCREDIBLE MEAL! My partner and I went here for dinner and had the gastronomy menu and it was to die for! The timing of the food, the wine pairing, the ambiance, everything was phenomenal. We ve eaten at many Michelin star restaurants and this was definitely a top experience.

Fantastic! Came here with little knowledge of what the meal was going to entail and was pleasantly surprised the entire time! The portions were a very nice size, and I was not left hungry at the end, or overly full. The food was unique and interesting and every single flavor was delightful! There wasn't a single dish I did not like, I would highly recommend to anyone who would like a delightful evening with unforgettable food!

Should there be something for it, but then you have something! What a view, made it extra romantic, very knowledgeable and pleasant sommelier, cheese cart to feast on and what an amount of exclusive cheeses. Had a great memorable night! (very small person, for that price you would have expected that the parking costs were included)

Great food experience, but overpriced. We both had the experience menu, and the dishes are indeed a wonderful experience. Each dish was unique and interesting, with complex choices of ingredients. The wine was good and complimented the meal beautifully. I have no complaints about the food. The service is decent, and the overall atmosphere is quite nice although not too special.

However, we both didn t feel it was worth the 440eu we ended up paying (before tip).

I have been to around 5 two-star Michelin restaurants in my life, and this was probably the most expensive but least exciting of them.

Overpriced , but yeah okay you pay for the experience eating in a 2* Michellin restaurant in Okura hotel in Amsterdam.. I enjoyed the Wyagu beef, the wine arrangement (not all were my favourite) and the selection of butter. This really filled my stomach so we skipped the cheese selection in the end. We got a second dessert and after a lot of chocolate bonbons (sugar overload, way too much).The tea experience was a bit a dissapointment, next too the hot water too much cold water was poured by the waitress. Overall it was a nice experience but not sure if I would recommend it.

Want to experience something really special? For let's say an anniversary or any other sort of celebration? Eat here. This is amazing. Unparalleled. The food is F A N T A S T I C, French cuisine with a hint of the orient, super creative, amazing flavours, your tastebuds will go crazy, this is heaven! And staff? I never ever experienced so much dedication and pampering before. And I am spoiled! These people -all white gloves on- will make you feel very very special. One person will remove crumbs from your tablecloth, another will place the plates and necessary 'tools', another will serve you the food and of course their sommelier wil poor you the excellent wines and -yes- another member of the staff will tell you all about what's in front of you, looking like a masterpiece, waiting to be enjoyed by you, bringing bliss to the parts of your brain where flavours are processed. And then the venue itself, it has amazing views over Amsterdam, being on the 23rd floor of the Okura hotel, it all adds up to the heavenly experience of visiting this 2 stars Michelin restaurant. Try before you die!

We had such a fantastic experience here. The food was amazing and the staff was wonderful. Fine dining really is about the experience as much as the food and this place delivered on both. There are also beautiful views of the city as you eat. I would say this restaurant is worth making a trip for even.
