Restaurants near Rijksmuseum Amsterdam

"Where do I start? The reason we booked MoMo was down to a recommendation from a business colleague who said that we would enjoy the experience as well as the food and I can honestly say he wasn't wrong. After about 10 minutes of looking at the menu, my wife and I could not decide what to eat as there was so much that we liked to choose from and so we took the easy option by selecting (after discussion with the waiter) one of the 'sampler' menus and this is where our journey began. I am not precise or descriptive enough to be able to get across to you the flavours and textures that the courses presented us with, but what I can tell you is that every course had been prepared to deliver an exceptionally pleasing visual and gustatory experience. What seemed like simple dishes had some very complex tastes associated with them, tuna, caviar, wagyu, sea urchin, prawns, yellowtail, wasabi and tens of other ingredients all lead up to the finale tha was desert, we're still trying to list down all the flavours that we experienced. for €99 you really couldn't go wrong, the food, service and ambience were all perfect for us. When booking MoMo you haveto remember that you only get a two hour slot and that the tables are fairly compact so some of the intimacy can be lost (unless you request a booth). At the end of the meal we were sat having the last of our wine when the hostess came to us, reminded us of our time limit and asked if we'd leave as there were others waiting for the table. From where we were sat we could see that there was no one waiting and that nearby there must have been at least 4 empty tables for 2 and one for 4 avaialble. We drank up and asked for the bill, when the bill was delivered by the waiter who had served us all evening he apologised and said that there was actually no rush and that we could stay on, however, by this time we'd readied ourselves to leave, this took the edge off a perfect experience."See more
