Radijs

Hmmm. Mixed feelings. All the tables and chairs outside are wobbly. Being a big guy as I am, it might me be difficult balancing your way through dinner.
First I got a bitter lemon that was not nearly cold in a warm glass. So that was gross. The waiter promised me a red to medium tournedos and got me medium to well done one. Still: very tender and tasteful, but not what I ordered. The green harissa that came with it was very nice. Fries: awesome. Mayonnaise: awesome. Salad: nah.
So I got a pretty good dinner. But it could’ve been so much better if they had paid a little more attention.
Great spot, nice staff and at lunch be sure to order the grill chicken with cheese and jalapenos sandwich!
My friend had the veggieburger, which was good!

Un très chouette endroit, une jolie terrasse bien exposée, le lieu idéal pour boir un verre pour un apéro !
Service rapide et agréable.

Weird Dutch combinations. Ossenworst with an egg and mustard. Pastrami with onions and sauerkraut. 40 minutes of waiting for 2 sandwiches.
The only saving grace here was the beautiful, sunny terrace, and the friendly service, which I can’t fault for our long wait.
Would go again for a koffie or tea, but not lunch. Meh.

Dutch service at its best. The waitress spilled a large — and hot — latte and other drinks all over the table, all over my friend’s and my legs, in and outside our shoes and bags. I managed to lift my laptop just in time.
She did utter a quick «sorry» and came back to clean the table and bring us other drinks but didn’t even offer us a napkin. Of course we had to pay for the non-​spilled round of drinks, I mean, you wouldn’t want to start giving customers the idea that they’re relevant or that you give a single crap about them. And heaven’s forbid customers be stuck only with burned legs and their dry-​cleaning bills.
My friend and I still had to wait until someone felt like taking our money when it was time to pay — oh, one server did ask if we wanted to pay before she simply turned around and left us standing there.
Accidents happen but there’s a way to deal with them and this was definitely not it. Now, if you’ll excuse me I’m going to go clean the sticky coffee off the inside of my shoes.

Love this place! as well as many people, that is why so complicated to get a table in the terrace when the weather is nice! it’s perfect for a beer (or two… :)) but also for dinner! as a burger lover is what I ordered! and I wasn’t disappointed! Their Burgers are not in my top5, but they are quite good actually! if you are in the neighborhood and you see an available table in the terrace, run to get it! you’ll enjoy for sure!

Coffee is great, croissants were excellent. Great ambiance. It’s all in Dutch but we managed!

Mouthful after mouthful of awesome.
After meeting co-​owner Thomas some time back, the lady and I decided to give Radijs a try. Located on the corner of a bridge on the Admirals Canal (admiralengracht) it is easily accessible by train, car, bike, or on foot.
Started off with a round of the beer of the month, a Goveneur Pilsner (deliciously funky) followed by an appetizer portion (still large enough for a lunch) of the Peanut soup and a delicious citrus infused baked Brie salad.
Followed this up with the Coq au Vin For myself and a perfectly cooked Entrecôte for my date.
Good, simple, affordable fare with great attentive service. Ingredients were key. There wasn’t a flavor that spiked the pallet or a texture that did not belong. I enjoyed the fact that the chicken was not cooked for very long in the sauce, it was still slightly crispy as it was cooked, along with the potatoes in the oven then given the sauce bath which included delicious diced spec (salty bacon), mushrooms and onions.
The soup of the day and the Coq are certainly easily finished. However, the appetizer version of the daily salad and the entrecôte proved to be too much for my partner in crime. (Entrecôte comes with a side salad, French fries, and what tasted like home made mayonnaise)
Try and sit close to the open kitchen to catch some of the other smells as they hit the fire! Delicious.
Total bill: € 54 (€ 5 tip for outstanding attention to table needs.)

What a lovely little place with surprisingly attentive service. The service alone was worthy of five stars. I can’t wait to go back and try out more dishes. There’s a small terrace that gets ample sun but the inside is quite cozy as well. They have a quirky bathroom where the sink allows you to peep in to the other side. Took me by surprise to see other hands being washed when I was the only one in the room!

I’ve only been three or four times mostly for lunch and once for diner.
What I have noticed is that the quality of the food has been consistently good from the moment the opened their doors to this day (Jan 2013).
The menu is simple which is probably one of the reasons why they can focus on the quality instead of on the quantity.
It’s a no thrills easy going place where it’s easy to relax and enjoy your company and your meal.
In case you want/​need to stay connected, their wifi is free, simply ask for the password.

Fun place kinda off the beaten track — went there only because my family who live there know of it — great ambiance and great value dinner…

This is a funky little restaurant on Jan Evertsenstraat in the West situated at the corner of Admiral canal. It’s a sunny and white interior with an open kitchen at the back. Some nice little touches, like burlap bag doors to the toilet and a stainless steel bar. There’s also outdoor seating on the canal side.
We had lunch and ordered the meatball sandwich with grilled eggplant and arugula. The food is freshly made and the french fries are awesome. Service is good although slightly awkward. Get the feeling they don’t get too many english speaking customers.
They also have dinner with a simple menu. Mains running around 13 – 16 euros. Would be a good place for a casual, inexpensive meal in a comfortable setting.
