August 21, 2019 Jasper Kershner

Discover Restaurants offering the best French food in North Holland Province, The Netherlands. Mostly jutting northward from its largest city of Amsterdam and its capital of Haarlem, the Noord-Holland region has much more to offer beyond those two wonderful cities. At Muiden is the magnificent Muiderslot Castle, as if it stepped out of a fairy tale. Showing more wear but no less interesting is Brederode Castle at Santpoort. At Zaanstad is Zaanse Schans, one of Holland’s top tourist destinations and a family-friendly open air museum of windmills, traditional buildings, crafts and shops.

Jaspers

Reviewed By GeorgeY892

We had a wonderful meal at Jaspers. It’s a friendly place featuring continental haute cuisine and an extensive wine list. Definitely one of the top 5 restaurants in Amsterdam. We had great fish, asparagus soup and desert dishes. Service was very attentive. Each dish presented in our 4 course dinner was accompanied by a discussion of the ingredients.

The menu has a proxy fixe option and ala cart. We ordered ala cart. Garden snails were perfect as well as a superb pigeon dish. Perfect. The other person’s had a turbot and and scallops. All dishes were very pleasing and tasteful. Good wine selections and very nice cocktails.The restaurant is small but the atmosphere is cozy and very warm. Staff was absolutely delightful.Little did we know our son-in-law contacted the restaurant to let them know of my wife’s birthday. Nothing was said until the meal was over. We were leaving and Chef Kuipers met us at the door and thanked us for dining with him. He gave my wife a beautiful box with birthday greetings on the box and a nice apple cake inside. Quite a special touch.It is expensive but one should expect the prices with the quality and atmosphere.Dear rhpatt29,Thank you for your 5 star review on Tripadvisor. It was our pleasure to welcome you in the restaurant to celebrate your birthday! Your son in law made the perfect choice for you to end your trip with!We hope we gave you some Southern warmth in the Netherlands despite the rainy day!See you next time when you are in Amsterdam and maybe with the whole family?Kind regards,Tiffany Kensmil

Restaurant De Vrienden van Jacob

Reviewed By C-Z-1982

This is a hidden gem! The restaurant is housed in the fascinating and spectacular 100 year old country estate hotel Duin en Kruidberg and is located in Santpoort, about 6 kilometers north of Haarlem. So you do have to travel to get there, but it is worth it. As mentioned on its website, De Vrienden van Jacob have had 1 Michelin star since 2006, and this star is more than deserved. The head chef, Alain Alders, visits each and every guest at the start of their dinner to personalize their experience. We elected a 5 course surprise menu with wine selections. It was absolutely superb, refined, delicious....The wine selections were great and for North Americans different from what they get served in the USA or Canada. Also, the price-tag for a 5 course dinner was favorable (around 90 Euros), certainly compared to what people pay in North America. In short, a restaurant that definitely is worthwhile visiting and you can decide to sleep at the hotel to get that little extra heavenly experience. By the way, reservations are required, but if you are unable to make a reservation online, it is worth calling the restaurant directly. We got a last minute reservation onsite!Dear C-Z-1982,We are happy to read that your stay has been satisfactory. We would also like to thank you for the time you have taken to leave a comment.We are look forward to welcome you again at restaurant De Vrienden van Jacob or for a overnight stay at the Country Estate!With best regards,Amber Timmers - Marketing Coordinator

I had the pumpkin soup and fish of the day and both were spectacular. The service was perfect - attentive but not overwhelming. I was staying at the hotel and when I finished my lunch, they called to the reception so someone could come and take me to my room (I was waiting for it to be ready).Dear Beth,Thank you for taking the time to write this review and share it on TripAdvisor. How lovely to learn that you've had a wonderful time at Brasserie Ambassade. Hopefully we will welcome you again soon in Hotel or Brasserie Ambassade.Kind regards from Amsterdam

Nice house (little like Martin Berasategui) on lake shore (although no view, at least inside – there is a terrace too). Beautiful interior design. 6 course chef’s menu and a la carte. Everything was good in the menu. Good service, smooth pace – not too quick but not too slow either. I’ve visited many Amsterdam Michelin starred, and so far this is a clear winner.
