What a truly incredible experience! From arriving and the staff already knowing your name, to every dish being... introduced and explained. No need for a menu, your host will explain what journey you’re about to go on! Picking a favourite dish is an impossibility, but we went with the Kim chi with salmon and red caviar. Pick that Chablis from the wine menu..!read more

We had the pleasure of dining at Nomad aan het IJ, and it was truly a delightful experience. The staff has the perfect... balance between attentive service and giving you the space to enjoy your evening undisturbed. The restaurant offers an unique culinary concept, taking you on a gastronomic journey around the world through its dishes.Each dish is a feast for both the palate and the eyes, with good flavors and artful presentation. We’ve had the best New York cheesecake and it was completely vegan! The wine selection is great, whether you choose the wine pairing or select from the wine menu.While we would rate this experience 5 stars, we have one small suggestion: pre-heated plates, particularly for the meat courses, would elevate the dining experience.Thank you for an unforgettable evening. We recommend Nomad aan het IJ to anyone seeking an unique dining adventure.read more

We left disappointed. The concept of exploring dishes from different regions and guessing the origins is good and fun,... but the dishes, like the Tom Kha Kai soup and Chili Sin Carne, were quite plain and something easily made at home—often better. For the price of the place, this was underwhelming. We hoped for more creativity and a true culinary journey.That said, the staff was very friendly, and the view to the water is fantastic. Unfortunately, it wasn’t enough to make up for the overall underwhelming experience.read more

The atmosphere is lovely, amazing view and super friendly waiters. The food was presented well but wasn’t as good as it... looked. Furthermore although I indicated I don’t eat red meat, I was still given a veal dish, then got the dish changed but this meant my companions needed to wait for me. Toilet could have been more clean & tidy. The fact that they don’t accept AMEX was a bit disappointing.read more

The friendly staff made us feel very comfortable, and that was the highlight of the evening. Unfortunately the no onion... request beforehand wasn’t there. And the food was not really fine dining in our eyes, the game to guess where the food comes from is fun, and the view to the river is beautiful. However, when is comes to the taste, it was okay, we didn’t have any dish that tasted great, no seafood at all, and the dishes were quite big. In my opinion it’s not worth the price.read more

We like traveling the world and we do like fine dining. Coming to Amsterdam and visiting several other places there,... nothing compares to Nomad ! Not only the outstanding food (Chef Denisa is celebrating each course in such a unique way - amazing), but also the atmosphere in the restaurant with the view and - more than that - the passion we felt with every single person involved of Nomad made it an unforgettable, joyful and very tasty (!) evening for us.read more

Our first time here was to celebrate a birthday of a close friend. Not only was the food great, but both Sam our server... and Ronald the owner were generous and informative throughout the whole experience.Each course was met with a description of what food it was made with and a fun guessing game of which country the cuisine came from. Without a doubt the most engaged I have ever been in a restaurant. The food is delicious and the vibe of the restaurant itself is highly positive with nothing but accommodating and friendly service.If you are looking for a restaurant where you can take a breather and relax for a few hours, I cannot recommend this place enough. I will definitely be coming back at some point.Thank you Nomad aan het IJ for the wonderful experience!read more

Visiting this restaurant turned out to be a pretty big disappointment. It started out fine and the waiters were very... attentive and kind throughout the visit. The cauliflower soup was absolutely beautiful and it was easily forgiven that it needed salt. The following two dishes - the "japanese dish" and the "chinese dish” were also quite alright, but the flavours could have been balanced better. It was after this that it really started falling apart. The vegetables and the sauce in the “french dish” was very forgettable. and the fish was dry and simply not fresh and it did not teaste well at all. We made the waiter aware of this and he apologized and said he would let the chef know. Bad days for the chef can happen I guess, but at 80 EUR for a set menu you should at least be able to expect the food to be fresh and the flavours (and salt levels) to be balanced. Then came the dessert - the English carrot cake. This is probably the most disappointing thing I’ve ever been served in a restaurant. It was completely without flavour and dry like old bread. It was not possible to eat. We had to send it back to the kitchen. I don’t remember ever doing that before, but I saw no other option. The waiter politely apologized and came back with a new portion - this time the cake had been heated, but that didn’t really do any magic for the cake unfortuantely. It was just not worth eating.To be fair, they didn’t charge us for the cake, but the bill still ended at 170 EUR including water and soft drinks (no alcohol). If you have this kind of money to go out and eat for, I would strongly recommend you go somewhere else.read more

I had expected more from the experience. The timing between courses varied wildly, between 15 minutes to exceeding an... hour.

The staff is very professional and friendly, they knew every thing we’ve requested in advance and they were eager to... meet our needs.We chose the vegan menu, which aimed to replace traditional ingredients such as cheese or fish with vegan alternatives. However, it didn't quite meet our expectations.Unfortunately, there wasn't a non-alcoholic pairing offered with the menu; instead, we had to choose our own nonalcoholic drinks. We found the pace of service to be rushed initially, but after requesting a slower pace, everything improved significantly.Cannot pay with American Express.read more

Not only the staff is incredibly friendly, sweet, and super knowledgeable about the food they're serving but... OMG, THE FOOD! Each dish is prepared with care and honouring the ingredients and dish inspiration. We couldn't pick one favourite dish because they were all incredible! Every single dish had a specific and unique flavour profile that was perfectly well balanced. I also want to give a special thank you to our servers and genius chef because they brought out a sparkle candle and sang Happy Birthday to me, which was incredibly sweet. I can't wait to go back to Amsterdam so I can taste more of their delicious, well thought-out food!read more

Our experience had a lovely start but had a shocking decline. The restaurant has a gorgeous interior and the view over... the river is unbeatable. Our server was exceedingly friendly and fun. We really liked that each dish was based on a country and that we got to play a guessing game for every course.On the downside, the service was disappointing. Our drinks, amuse, and first course came out quickly, but the following four took a very long time. The restaurant wasn't particularly crowded, and we could see our server standing and chatting with other members of the restaurant staff. In the beginning, he said that if we would like to speed things up or slow things down, then it would be no problem at all, However, nothing changed at all after we asked. We got there at 6 PM and didn't leave until 9:30. What's worse is that some of the dishes were just lukewarm when they got to the table. It was fantastic food, but absolutely not worth the wait.I can't justify the price because it felt like we were there for so long. This is more of a nitpick, but it didn't feel great to see that our dessert came in the exact same dish as our first course, which was soup. To add to this, we saw another table receive the same soup in a different dish. If the service remained consistent throughout the night, this would have been 5 stars.read more

Our experience with the five course dinner has been disappointing to say the least. When I rate a restaurant one needs... to take into account the setting, the service, the food and the presentation in regards to the price that was paid. The setting is not as what was advertised on the pictures. The service was not professional enough as what you would expect at this price point and the entire five courses took four hours to be served with way too much inbetween time as the portions are small. The courses lacked flavor especially with the first course the soup and fourth course the main meat dish. Lastly, the point was the presentation of the dishes as that was acceptable for what was paid. We would not comeback.read more

I do suggest to try not to watch the photos of the food in advance! Experience is also enhanced by the element of surprise. Only downside was that we did not sit by the window, as the “view” spots are limited, but by the end of the night we could have dined outside and still have an amazing time. 🙂 Highly recommend it.

The place is definitely overpriced for what it’s worth. It’s decent food, correct, honest, but simple dishes that I... would definitely not consider fine dining. It took over 4 hours to serve 5 dishes, so we were kinda hungry for half the time, as we had two small dishes and then waited for 1 hour or so to get the 3rd dish. I think the servers could have done a better job communicating or managing the expectations, but they kind of disappeared during this time.read more

I was not really pleased by this restaurant. The location is wonderful but the food was not that good. We made a... reservation with a social deal so the 3 course menu was 21 euros instead of 40 euros. They dont have a menu for drinks and the food so it was a surprise. The wine we had was not cold. First we got an amuse, a sort of bruchetta, is was nice. It took very long, about 45 min between the courses. And the disches were really small. The food was tasty but not that good. I would not pay 40 euros for this menu.read more
