It is an argentinian restaurant in the heart of Amsterdam, where there is no one from Argentina actually, but egyptians and other young guys not duch either.... Like all alike places offers a three course menu. The empanadas tasted authentic:)))

There's an abundance of Argentinian steak houses in Amsterdam but we stumbled upon this one many years ago and when a steak takes our fancy we trust we'll get a good one at La Pampa. It's never quiet in here, its always busy. I see this as a sign of either a good restaurant or a good location, here we... More

Nice little place in the center of town. The service is adequate, interior comfy enough, terras seating for good weather days, the food is average, the steaks are excellent. Not too fancy, but not too shabby, a typical steak house. Great for lunch, try some of the Argentinian wines as well.

The meat is so tender it melts on your tongue. The service was impeccable and the side orders was good. Would definitively go back next time I'm in Amsterdam!

This place is buzzing....great meat - from value speacials (around 10 euro's) to prime cuts of meat. The restaurant is just off Dam Square with seating outside. I suggest eating inside as it is a busy road. The service is excellent and the waiters want to serve you. Enjoy the meal.

Nice steak and good frites. The sallad is more or less useless.

We went there with family for our first meal in Amsterdam. It was late and we were looking for something close to our hotel. Cost of meals were above others in the area but the food was so-so and service was poorist I have had in years. We were sitting outside and seemed to be forgotten. It was so bad... More

I lived and worked in Amsterdam for 3 years and the favourite restaurant amongst our group was La Pampa; owned by a lovely Egyptian gentlemen and run by his fantastic staff. Out of curiosity, before a 'reminiscing' trip with two friends who had worked out there with me, we looked up reviews of the restaurants we planned to revisit. With... More

Was apprehensive about eating here due to its proximity to Dam Square and the number of Argentinian steak houses in Amsterdam. We were not dissapointed. The fillet steak was good.We ordered from the specials menu so it was ok value as it included side salad and fries or bake potatoe. House wine was good but a large Heineken was nearly... More
