We had an absolutely wonderful evening here. The setting is warm and inviting, with a cozy atmosphere that strikes a great balance between stylish and relaxed. It’s the kind of place where you immediately feel comfortable settling in for a long dinner.
The service was excellent from start to finish. The staff were genuinely friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable, taking the time to explain each dish and happily answering our questions. They were present without ever being intrusive, and their enthusiasm for the food really added to the experience.
We opted for the chef’s 5-course menu, and it was an outstanding choice. The food was incredible and very diverse, both in flavors and in presentation. From the very first amuses-bouches to the dessert, every course was thoughtfully composed, beautifully plated, and full of surprising combinations that still felt harmonious. You can really taste the creativity and care that goes into each dish.
Portions were well-balanced, the pacing between courses was just right, and each plate felt like a step in a carefully designed journey rather than just a random sequence of dishes.
Considering the overall quality, the number of courses, and the location in Amsterdam, the price is surprisingly reasonable—honestly, quite astonishing for this level of cooking and service.
Highly recommended for anyone looking for a special night out, whether you’re a foodie or simply enjoy being well taken care of and eating really good food. We’ll definitely be coming back.

Wonderful experience. Each dish was unique, well prepared, and thoughtful. There is a casual atmosphere, great for a fun dinner. If you get the set menu, expect to spend a minimum of 2 hours, probably 3, dining.
The most common fish preparation I am used to is heavy on citrus. I enjoyed many novel preparations that added flavor without heavily relying on citrus.
My favorite course was the fish of the day (pollock). It was perfectly tender, not at all overcooked. Every element added to the dish. Other standout dishes include the salmon course and the dessert.

What a wonderful experience. I was searching around the city for a good seafood fine dining experience and I am so pleased that I chose John Dory.
Decor of the places is really simple and comfortable, when we went in, we felt very at ease and relaxed. The place is really clean and tidy simple layout with some artwork and as we went near Christmas time there was a good hint of festive decoration.
Staff are very friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and you can sense that they are very passionate about the food there and really engaging with their customers. They really made a difference for our evening in terms of experience. They explained each dish well, and also told us the various options available when it came to wine and beverages.
Food quality is absolutely amazing. We really think it was well thought out and hopefully the photos will do the restaurant justice.
A friendly reminder that the menu will change from time to time so what we ate may not be available when you go

From start to finish, our dinner at John Dory was nothing short of perfection! As a coeliac, myself and my partner always get in touch with restaurants beforehand letting them know about my dietary restrictions – we were assured it would be absolutely no problem at all and they were kind enough to forward us the planned menu in advance. This only made us more excited for our visit!
Upon arriving we were greeted by one of the lovely chefs, and were then led upstairs to where we would dine: tasteful interiors, quiet music, and two lovely hosts who made us feel incredibly welcome. There was no stuffiness at all.
We chose which menu we wanted – I opted for 5 courses, whilst my partner requested to swap the dessert for the octopus which was part of the 6 course menu – this was no issue for them at all.
Before our meal even started we were served three amuse-bouche which were DIVINE. Zingy, fresh, smokey, creamy, and spicy – we were practically dribbling on our table. Very pretty too. We then were graced with one of the best dishes I’ve had in a long time – salmon with beetroot, dill, gorgeous olive oil and balsamic. This dish was just sensational – the flavours sang in unison, nothing overpowering the delicate salmon that was the star of the show. I didn’t think the next dish would come close …
Yet it did! Thinly sliced beef with pumpkin and coriander. Such a cozy dish with the best of autumn flavours. Creamy yet not rich, with a lovely subtle hit of chilli to cut through. I only wished there were a few more slices of beef. Next, my partner had octopus with paprika, jalapeño and almond – this was a real hit for him, the octopus being perfectly cooked whilst pairing wonderfully with the heat of the jalapeño.
Afterwards came the pike-perch with cauliflower, nuts, and lashings of butter – I could’ve eaten this by the bucket load. This dish was gloriously rich which really complemented the fish, and was a nice way to lead us in to the catch of the day served with mushrooms and a silky sauce made from ceps. Again, pass me the bucket because I wanted it all! The fish was cooked perfectly with the crispiest of sears.
To finish, I was given an adapted version of the apple mille-feuille which was very kind of the chefs. Apple, cinnamon, raisin, vanilla – you can’t go wrong. Not overly sweet, perfectly tart – a wonderful way to end a 10/10 meal.
For two people having 5 courses and a 1/2 bottle of wine, it came to just under €200 (service not included) – though €40 was taken off as a deposit was paid to secure the booking. Wine list was extensive but pretty pricey, nonetheless we enjoyed our bottle of white. Service was fantastic from start to finish – no awkward hovering, no snobbiness, just very friendly and warm and easy to have a laugh with.
We had a very special meal here, and no doubt John Dory will be at the top of our list when we’re back in Amsterdam.

A wonderful dinning experience. Had a dinner there yesterday. What a treat. Staring with the staff through the excellent 6 course menu, ending with a lovely wine pairing. If in Amsterdam do not skip the experience. Not a cheap one but worth every penny. And if you’re there do not miss the liver desert ( in the picture )

We had a wonderful weekday dinner at John Dory. The evening started with a small amuse to set the mood. My friend enjoyed two oysters and was especially impressed by the variety of cold and warm oyster options on the menu. We shared the ceviche starter, which paired perfectly with the guacamole, absolutely delicious! For the main course, we chose the fish of the day: a baked white fish in butter, topped with nuts.
The atmosphere in the restaurant was fancy, but chill. Which was a perfect match for a weekday dinner. The service was excellent and the waiter was kind and very professional.
Overall, highly recommended! We’ll definitely be back for more delicious .
