Ron Gastrobar Review

Very good and interesting cuisine. Lamb brains with kimchi and pigeon with foie gras were amazing. The ice cream is worth to be mentioned as well because of interesting presentation. It is served in the big bowl and a number of ingredients are served apart so one could choose whatever he likes.

Top evening especially by the service and service of Matthijs

I enjoyed the small, delicious and inventive dishes at Ron Gastrobar, and i I very much liked the format - we made our own tasting menu with 5 of their medium-sized dishes, two sides and two deserts. The atmosphere was more "upbeat" and energetic than the typical Michelin restaurant; I did not find it too loud as others did (late Friday night in January). The boneless sparerib was the runaway favorite, followed by the mackerel sashimi. Would return.

Very strange that as a normal guest you pay the full pound while a table next to your people is eating the same thing for a fraction of the price via Groupon vouchers. That gives a strange aftertaste, while the food was quite good.

I eat out a lot and must say I was really impressed by not only the staff but also the food.Everything we had was great and I would have no hesitation in recommending your restaurant .Thank you for a great night.

Good service, nice wines by the glass be it pricy, some dishes better than others.. 12 euro for a small plate of rather ordinary mushrooms is pushing it a bit. You can find better food for less in Amsterdam

The case picked up new layout bar including DJ set and new dishes

very noisy place... brasserie style
quite disappointing for a 1 Michelin star
food was good but nothing wxceptional
service was average only (wine not served on time, warm champagne...)
I would rather recommend the Chinese declination of Kerkstraat with a cosier atmosphere and more professional service. its my personal recommendation

Food and most of the dishes were excellent. 5 stars. However, the service was not so good. Waiter brought us several dishes we didn't order and then disappeared. Long waits for some of the food. And when it was time to get our coats, nobody could be found so we had to go into the coat area and find them ourselves.

Although the surroundings were eloquent, the service, champagne and food were well below par. Our server was surly and looked bored as though she would rather be somewhere else, and this unfortunately spoiled the whole evening. She served me flat champagne, and was really put out when I asked her for champagne with bubbles. At one stage, after a 70 minute wait, my husband got up to go and find someone to serve us and enquire after our meal as we were dining with a toddler. He also had to get up and go to the bar twice to get a drink. Servers were absent and definitely not interested in creating a memorable experience. The sides served with the meat were pallid and tasteless and definitely not worth the exorbitant charges. This certainly is a Gastrobar to avoid.

Delicious food, cozy in the garden. Very friendly service.

Lovely place to treat yourself. Fantastic customer service and great food with a price range for everyone. The free bread starter and ice cream dessert were a really nice touch to finish off an amazing meal!

Nothing special at all! Extremely small portions for such prices. Very slow service. The food tasted ok.

Very nice thing with super friendly service! Quality of the food very good. Furthermore, a wide choice of tasty wines! Top restaurant that is certainly not too expensive. We ate at the bar and also here we had the feeling of having received a full service.

Great service. Great food. Ask to see the snack menu. Equally as good as the regular menu.

Wonderful tasting menu. Ingredients that I never would have chosen but combined to make delicious dishes. If you dine between 17:30 and 19:30 you get a 20% discount on the whole bill.

Some of the worst service I've ever experienced in Amsterdam, and extremely average food for price and reputation. The complaints written nearly 3 years ago are the same issues experienced tonight, so it seems management is indifferent to the problem.

I have gone a few times and always found the food excellent, the service attentive and the atmosphere relaxed. They don't take evening bookings so it's handy to show up with a small group on a busy Friday or Saturday night when you can't get a booking nearby. Good garden in the summer.

Delicious lunch. We will definitely come back again.

Nice but everything is said. Were with large group. Certainly did not meet the star expectation.

Delicious eaten. Simple ingredients prepared in a surprising way. It was an evening with a delicious taste sensation. The service was very professional without being distant. Worth repeating.

Quite disappointing experience. Service was mediocre at best and food was okay, but certainly not worthy of a Michelin star. Coming from London, the standard of food in NL is certainly a lot lower and maybe that is how this place has gotten their star. But then again, we have had food of much higher standard in other places in Amsterdam (for a lot less money). Save your money and spend it elsewhere

Very good place for sampling the higher gastronomy in Amsterdam. Good range of dishes and recipes in a no-nonsense ordering scheme. Even better with more people to sample more of the chef's inventions.

Terrible service, very unpleasant servers, food ok but an eternity to have it.

Nice space and friendly, assertive staff. Lunch with first quail on a bed of sauerkraut with a Hungarian Tokaj - Furmint, mineral and sweet at the same time and therefore a great addition. Then a pleasant piece of sweetbread with lentils and mushrooms, both small snacks but great for lunch!

Nothing special. Just pretentious dishes that don't really hit the mark. Service is not great and the whole experience lacks in personality.
Not worth it. As usual Mich star means absolutely nothing.

Delicious food. Beautiful tent. Really recommended to eat out. Be sure to try some food that you will not find in a different restaurant on the menu.

Very good food and ambiance. They have also improved the wine list - which was needed. The low rating is because every time I have been there have been errors on the bill and never in my favour.

Was looking forward to this one Michelin quality with a twist. The location is nice, great terrace and quality Dutch beers on draft. The food however was extremely disappointing. The rib-eye was cold inside, and there was only one drop of marrow on it. The cut itself and tenderness of the meat was lovely but the cook abused that fine quality meat.
King crab covered with mashed potato, dry cooked sausages and fries that were left in the frier for too long made the gastronomical experience disappointing. The price was extremely steep for the quality offered. 80 eur for a small rib eye for two was ridiculous.

Overall very disappointing experience, food below standards. I would recommend Ron to focus on food instead of hipsters.

I was treated like a star!
The food was excellent and the hostess, waitress and bartender treated me like a special guest!
In gonna go again!!!

Good wines, delicious food. Concept of the map could be improved

Don't forget to order the foie gras in advance! Delightful!

Great food, price-performance ratio is absolutely right here. Super atmosphere and extremely relaxed and easy for a restaurant with a Michelin star. I can only recommend it to everyone who is in Amsterdam!

Very pleasant, good quality, attentive staff.
Nice menu. Absolutely recommended.

Very good service, nice location and delicious and original food

Refined dinner in a refined and refined environment. Unfortunately the service is too slow, the dishes are very good and refined.

My husband and I had dinner here for the first time. I found it a very pleasant experience. The food was delicious every bite was a real taste explosion and it looked beautiful. The atmosphere in the restaurant was very good and the staff very friendly. We were well served and well advised on Spice and wine combinations. And that dessert was also fun and a surprise egg. We will certainly dine here again. I thought it was great and would recommend it to everyone

Really delicious dishes! Everything is well made. Just the portion is small

One of the best restaurant in amsterdam. thw prices r fair, the food is outstanding ,the bar has it, but the service level and the hospitality has nothing to do with Michelin or even something near. 3 stars for this unless the 5 stars food.

First time had a very good experience, second time another x. But unfortunately hugely disappointed.

Employees are so incredibly rude, talking to us and hardly looking at them, if you ask them something it seems like you are speaking some kind of impossible language to them.
And really waited for hours for the food. And when inquiring, it was casually told, yes the dry-Aged takes about 40 minutes longer ... but that was 90 minutes ago.

And the bad thing is that I did not want to share this publicly and neatly completed a survey with my findings, in the hope that it will be taken seriously. But nothing is less true, so I have nothing else to do than to adjust my experience on Google. And change my rating.

Ron Gastrobar, you will not see me again if it stays that way, no matter how good the food may be.

We've managed to book the place 2 weeks in advance for a dinner. Had a nice long walk before so we got our appetite quite strong when we got there. The lady at the entrance was amazing, the welcoming was warming and in good English, they took our jackets and seated us on our table, which waa at the far end of the restaurant. The table was great as we could see everything else and the open kitchen. We got a bottle of great wine from Rioja, Spain and we got served some teasers - bread with some cream cheese and onions. Those got our receptors quite curious. We have then opted for snacks or starters as this was the only menu available on the table along with the wine list. Tried the Tacos, a bit spicy, Wagyu Gyoza and some Iberico jamon. All three were great, while I would rate the Wagyu Gyoza #1 and the Tacos #2. All great so far, but we've had to ask for another menu or a consultation on the main courses, this was not proactively brought to us. We have then decided that one of us wants the 6-course tasting menu and others wanted a steak. In 5 minutes, we have tried to order that, but unfortunately the waiter said the tasting menu can only be ordered if all parties on the table have it. I find this ridiculous. Anyway, we've had to wait another 5 min for one of our friends as he was smoking and redefined our choices. We've got 2 dishes - smoked eel and dove something, both were great albeit small, but came very quickly. Then we've had a tomahawk steak, which was not that good. Maybe we should have got the ribeye, but when the tomahawk was presented to us uncooked, it looked really appealing. Keep in mind it's quite big and it's for share by 2 people. The surprise egg desert was good according to my friends. Overall, great experience, with a bit more to be desired on the service for a Michelin star restaurant e.g. Main course menu and the restriction on the tasting menu.

I visited with a few friends. Staff seemed untrained. We were all unwell after the visit. The restaurant gave back or money.

Order the short ribs! Really lived this place. On the pricey side and totally worth it. Would recommend making reservations. Tried the french toast and egg surprise for dessert, and would say the egg suprise was way better.

Zeer goed eten. Goede, vriendelijke bediening. Tikje lawaaierig. Rare plek. Eten uitstekend en origineel.

Great reception. Even better service. And Tartare you must taste.

Ambiguous. Something tasty, something not at all tasty.

Delicious and special food in a nice but relaxed atmosphere

Had a fantastic dinner, excellent food, wine and service. Would definitely come again!

Michelin star restaurant. Interesting menu, special experience.

Voor deze in principe vleestent overheerlijke vegetarische gerechten. Heel bijzonder. Kijk uit naar volgende bezoek. Op toilet radioverslagen van Nederlands team en Sex in the City monologen.

This Michelin 1 star restaurant used to be a 2 star upscale fine dining. But they decided to make the restaurant more accessible and now it's serving Michelin 2 star quality food with 1 star price. Don't miss it, or you will regret it.

The terrace is just as wonderful as the food and service.

Great night! Fantastic ambiance and delicious food and the egg completely good.

Food was definitely worth it. Ambiance is good and service great. Enjoy the fresh, warm bread that comes out in the beginning.

Very cosy with some nice small dishes. Friendly and good value.

Experience is good, food presentation is ok, had their famous spareribs i heard but not that really special though its boneless and quite unique for having sambal sauce but how the food presentation is violaaaaaa....ambience is cozy and fancy in a great location near at vondelpark but the most top ratings is the staff, super friendly and accomodating...

Best food I've had in Amsterdam. A nice, laid-back place to eat a great meal.

Cozy evening, nice lady at the table, hospitably received. Yes, also delicious eaten and maybe just too much to drink. Thanks Bas and team, was nice!

Top of the bill. Delicious again. Fine operation. Beautiful renovation bar. Point of attention: the empty bottles in the middle of the restaurant cause a lot of unwanted noise, this really is not possible in a restaurant with a Michelin star. See you again soon!

Unimpressed- it's trying to be something it's not and will never be.

A place and food not to be missed if you are in Amsterdam.

Delicious food extensive choice super good service good eaten come back. Why 4 stars the second bottle of wine was only served after the second course was served the dessert lasted very long so that the cheeses ran off the spoon.

Special experience in terms of ambiance and dishes. Definitely worth repeating.

I have been at Ron Gastrobar more times and it is always a pleasure to spend some time there. Excellent service, delicious dishes everything done with attention. The wine list offers good choices between valid alternatives. One of my favourite restaurant in Amsterdam.

I frequently frequent Ron Gastrobar, always with great pleasure. The food and wine is delicious. From that thought I also wanted to have a drink there; a nice wine and snack at the (gastro) bar. We were, however, More

WE had a great dinner and really enjoyed all the people watching!

One of my favourite restaurants in Amsterdam for special occasions. Carefully crafted, small dishes or a tasting menu. Good cocktails

Super service. Great food. Interesting wines. Surprising menu. Trendy. One of my favorite places.

So nice that I can eat out on my birthday thanks to the taken away box. Delicious and thank you !!

Disappointing services. First of all we were arranged to sit under the sun even though we booked well in advance a table outdoor IN THE SHADE. Secondly not just the food is slowly cooked also the services come slow too. Thirdly they simply ignored our request for services. It was really a memorable dinner. Thank you.

I would give 2 starts for service. Some of the staffs are very rude and curt. But the food is outstanding and maybe worth the hardship of their service!

No more than 3 stars. Noisy, staff sometimes invisible. The spare ribs were recommended with a very special marinade but that was hoisin sauce ... nice thin crispy crust but it reminded me of Peking duck ... no, not special enough, also because the homemade sambal was delicious, it made way too much Indonesian ... and sambal and hoisin? Tis just not tasty enough.

Great restaurant. The food here is spectacular without being to pretentious. I would say my favourite dished were the tacos starter and the egg with king crab. For desert the coconut with caviar was something that should not work but it did!

An exceptional culinary experience at affordable prices. I enjoyed a 5 course meal and 2 cocktails for about 60 Euro. Was 20% off if you leave before 7pm, definitely worth seeing if that deal is active :)

As Ron Gastrobar offers 15 Euro main courses for lunch, we decided to visit it to sample their food. We ordered the Wagyu beef, Hanger steak and the Paris-Brest dessert. Although portions are often small at fine-dining restaurants, the portions in Ron Gastrobar is probably one-third the portion of normal meals. To be fair, we were paying 15 Euro for the highest quality of meat and a full meal of Wagyu/Hanger steak in my home country (Singapore) would be at least 3 times the price. For a satisfying meal, one should probably order several main courses, or to supplement one main course with an order of fries. Be prepared to spend - or go back hungry.
Overall, I found the food good, but not great. Maybe I've been spoilt by too many meals in other fine-dining restaurant. It was nice that the restaurant gave us free ice-cream after our lunch. I enjoyed the experience at Ron Gastrobar, but I don't know if I will come back again.

Yes what can you say about Ron? Great food of course. Costs something, you also have something.

Food is quite nice, but service is super slow and it feels like they forget about you. Not sure where the mention of Michelin Star comes from.

Mediterranean fusion style restaurant/bar. Very good!

Delicious eaten for my birthday, had to wait for the starter but then everything came very quickly. We recommend the last dessert of the menu to be spectacular!

Pleasant entourage, hospitable staff. I sometimes come there for lunch and the food certainly tastes. You can choose from a number of dishes and combine them like this. Most are 15 euros each. The quantities may be made more balanced.

Wonderful dining, staff was a bit mediocre I must say. Overall they didn't have feeling with the products they put on the table. Wine pairing was none existing unfortunately and had to be requested once tje food was on the table

Enjoyed the surprising menu! We were invited so let us completely "pack". Excellent succeeded by the pleasant service, even great non-alcohol wine, a great experience everywhere. Thank you for your hospitality!

Love the food. Service is great. Toilets could be more feminist. While my boyfriend was entertained by a repetition of football goals causing him to spend at least double his regular time in the bathroom, I heard conversations around parenting. Old. Fashioned.

The food is really good but the service is just a little overstrained. They brought not all the dishes at the same time it was just strange. But still the food is amazing!!

Great food for all courses. Beautiful presentation and excellent, complex flavours. Contemporary, exploratory food. You will definitely experience something different here. The food is also quite filling. The service was easy and not too attentive. We never felt interrupted nor isolated. The wine we tried was also excellent and complemented the food nicely. We would definitely go again!

I was invited for a work lunch to Ron Gastrobar after thinking several times to come with my girlfriend. Now that I've experienced the incredible food, the beautiful display and the professional service, I'd like to come more often. Just have to work a little harder to make this a regular in the schedule. ;-)
