I have been visiting De Klos already for more than 15 years. They always manage to prepare and serve the best spare ribs in Amsterdam. Small cafe style restaurant, not too many tables, but you can also eat at the bar. More

Simple, straight forward pub with incredible ribs. The bartenders are colorful and could be described by some as surly - but are fun once you warm up to them! Strongly recommended for the entire experience. More

This old Dutch brown cafe bar has great fire grilled steaks, ribs and chicken. I found this place when I lived in Amaterdam in 1991 and go back every time I'm in Amsterdam. The bartenders/servers can be a bit snooty, but it is all part of the atmosphere. Be prepared to pay for these yummy steaks! More

I went to this restaurant based on reviews here, and on other Amsterdam forums.As already stated, this is strictly a meat-eaters kinda place, and it helps if you're ravenous too! After some iffy service (the guy didn't see us come in and sit down, but walked past us a few tines) all was forgiven as we tucked into a giant... More

...were eaten in De Klos. Didn't book, had an enjoyable 45 minute wait at their sister bar over the road. I had the mixed ribs - they were great. Sat next to a Dutch guy that had been eating there for twenty years (and seemed in surprisingly good health). ~e45 for two and a couple of drinks. Their other dishes... More

As an American student studying abroad in Europe, I've been craving barbecue. We went to De Klos after reading TA reviews about it and we were not disappointed. The ribs were falling off the bone and the French onion soup and baked potato were both fantastic. Well worth the hour or so wait for it. Overall a great value for... More

If you enjoy flavorful, perfectly spiced and and grilled pork ribs, this is as good as it gets. Tremendous value for the money as the servings are very large. Our family of 5 ordered 4 rib servings and 3 large baked potatoes, and still took home ribs.The place gets packed early with diners, so either plan to go early, or... More
