Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Prins & Aap offers an incredible dining experience with a "WOW" menu, inventive cocktails, and a fabulous canal-side location. The ambiance is perfect for dates or special occasions. While the service can be inconsistent, the friendly staff and delightful dishes, like the "Monkey See Monkey Do" seafood appetizer, make it a must-visit.

    I am a regular here now. The food is really good and tasty couldn't be better. The menu takes me out of my comfort zone as I usually end up with dish as as generally plain eater that I am not famiilar with. But I am never disappointed with what I order and I go for the 4 courses and wine. For me as a long time Irish resident in Amsterdam who eats out quite regularly. This place has the best food in Amsterdam and is competitively priced. The ambiance is a bit disappointing the dining seats are far apart so it makes a private conversation a little more difficult. But as long as your only there to make small talk with each other who cares. As the Chef is top class.

    Lovely place for dinner however service was really poor. We arrived at 715pm and didn’t get out first course until 9pm. Drink service was very slow.. Only 2 staff on for a fully seated dining area. Food was not hot enough on arrival. Not the place to come for dinner. More like a cocktail bar.

    We loved our time here. The cocktail menu is new and exciting and the staff extremely knowledgeable. Trust their recommendations, our favourite drinks were those recommended. The flavours are complex and surprising and extremely tasty. The food was excellent and the ambience perfect. It was civilised, comfortable and the music at just the right volume for a good conversation. We’ll be back next time we’re in Amsterdam.

    Food is excellent. The concept is different been offered a lot of shared dishes for those who like that which keeps the costs down. But I have been here a few times now and find the service terrible. Last time I put in my dinner order in at 18.45 got it after asking where was it, at 20.15 a Burger and chips and it was cold but still delicious. But they really need to sort out the communication between the kitchen and the service staff. As this is a constant problem here. It's not what you would expect from a 5 star hotel. It's a shame because anytime I have been here we found the food delicious and very tasty but not a place to go for a quick meal.

    Great service and nice ambience. Ordered the “Monkey See Monkey Do” seafood appetizer combo as well as grilled octopus. The grilled octopus was excellent. The Monkey bowl, while visually appealing, was a little too “one note” in terms of textures.
