Just returned from an absolutely first-rate meal at the 5 Flies. Service couldn't have been better and every taste was perfect. We asked for recommendations on e everything since nothing on the menu was familiar. C'mon folks, how many historic restaurants can you dine in where there are 4 original Rembrandt etchings on the wall? Local diners also agree. You... More

My husband insisted on bringing us to the 5Flys for dinner. I was not enthused, as I had never experienced it before. , However it was wonderful. The atmosphere and the food were excellent. Our service was very good, not spectacular. Perhaps a bit overpriced compared to some other restaurants that I enjoyed even more. My husband would disagree...and give... More

We asked our concierge where to find dutch food - he said there wasn't a lot around but suggested Five Flies. Service was fine but a little slow but food was not great. Had the 35 euro chefs tasting - 3 courses. Appetizers were bad, entree ok and so was dessert. Lots of juniper and carraway which we did not... More

We got a very friendly last minute reservation for a saturday night and were excited to try the recommended haute dutch cuisine. We were seated in an very uninviting dining area (might be due to the last minute reservation, though it didn't seem overwhelmingly busy) though with certain traditional dutch features. We were slightly surprised by the menu that didn't... More

What a shame our dining experience in this beautiful, atmospheric restaurant with delicious food was ruined by a complete lack of attention by our waitress!

Based on reviews from other TripAdvisor users I thought it would be a bit touristy and on the day I wasn't sure if I had made the right choice. But when we arrived it turned out to be nothing like what I had imagined. Yes... More

Service and food is excellent in this restaurant which is in a tiny street and set in picturesque "chamber" type wood pannelled rooms which make up the restaurant. More

Recommended by a Dutch friend, we went and had the most delicious dinner with perfect presentation, flavor combination a bottle of wine in the most perfect setting in Amsterdam! More

I tried this small restaurant during a 3 day stay in Amsterdam. It is located in a 1600 typical house of Amsterdam downtown, with wood furniture, bona fide Rembrandt etchings, delft blue decorations, all in vertical, with stairs to climb, but you can find a very nice and warm atmosphere. The restaurant is good for business meetings or romantic stays.... More
