This restaurant was recommended to us by the gentleman who gave us a boat tour (Jack from Drift Away) A prix fixe dinner (no decisions to make) that accommodates meat eaters, pescatarians, vegetarians and vegans. Every course is a delight and locally sourced with wine pairings for dole courses. Lovely and personal service, restaurant faces a canal, outdoor tables are available. One of my all time favorite restaurant experiences.

He suggested L'Invite as a great restaurant featuring Dutch cuisine with a modern flair. When we arrived we were met by, as we found out later, the Chef Owner. We told him we were food and wine people and told him to serve us whatever he wanted, both food and wines. The restaurant became busy with a large group but that had no effect on the quality of food and service. We enjoyed a nice leisurely dinner with wines and produce from local winemakers and friends of the chef. We will definitely go back when we are in Amsterdam!!

Traditional Dutch food, fresh, local. A true dining experience. Expect a tasting menu with flavors you would have never imagined. The very nice wine menu tops off the experience. The ambiance is also exceptional whether you choose a window seat to view the activity on the street or, towards the inside of the 400 year old building you will not be disappointed. Again, outstanding!! Fondly, A foodie from Oregon, USA
