  A delightful dining experience at R21! The menu showcased a perfect balance of familiar flavors and unexpected surprises, keeping every dish exciting. A true highlight was the chef’s exceptional mastery of oyster preparation—if you love oysters, you’re in for a treat! By the end of the evening, we found ourselves chatting with a couple seated next to us, who shared the same wonderful experience. R21 is a place we’ll gladly return to, and we can’t wait for our next visit!

  We visited this place during the Restaurant Week. It left us quite unfulfilled, we had to go grab a snack afterwards. I haven’t noticed anything extra ordinary, everything was ok, but not worth the price. Quite a typical fine dining that invests more into facade that food. Napkins, chairs, chandeliers were beautiful indeed. Not worth visiting.

  We stumbled upon R21 in Amsterdam through Google Maps, and what a serendipitous find it was! Visiting from the US, we happened to book during a special “chef showdown” event—a collaboration between the chefs from R21 and L’Église in Zwolle, where both the menu and chefs were kept a surprise. The experience was incredible. Each dish was crafted with impeccable techniques that elevated the flavors and surpassed anything we’ve tasted in Amsterdam. The dishes showcased creativity, precision, and balance of flavors. The presentation of every plate was stunning and the value for the price was simply remarkable. The vibe was intimate and lively, made even better by the warm and knowledgeable staff. The sommelier carefully explained the wine pairings, which complemented the meal perfectly, while our server shared fascinating details about the event. Though we were the only table unknown to the chefs, they went out of their way to make us feel incredibly welcomed, adding a personal and heartfelt touch to the evening. R21 is currently a Michelin fork establishment, but it’s clear they’re on a trajectory toward even greater recognition. This was, hands down, one of the most memorable dining experiences we’ve ever had, and we can’t wait to return!

  Fantastic dinner experience from start to finish. Everything from the atmosphere, the service, the food and the wines was flawless. I would highly recommend!

  I really wanted to love this place because the reviews on Google maps are basically love letters, but our experience unfortunately was almost the same as the one 1 star review that was also a customer via restaurant week. I was so surprised during our meal that I went to check for the lowest ratings and was sad to see our experience was not unique. Fantastic ingredients, but puzzling execution. The restaurant week menu seems to be a mediocre offering compared to their normal menu. We had duck as a main which was not great, the fat layer was scored as if to crisp it but it was chewy and felt undercooked, truly sad because it was otherwise nicely flavoured. The highlight of the night for our table was the fantastic butter and a mushroom tartalette that we ordered from the “bites” menu. We also enjoyed the dessert which was panna cotta with blood orange sorbet.
