The kitchen of chef Roman

From Odessa to Amsterdam.

Chef Roman is at the helm of the kitchen at Brasserie Lenny. His way of cooking is exactly what Lenny stands for: recognisable dishes, good produce, full flavours and, above all, great attention to detail.

Here he gets the space to build, to experiment and to keep improving dishes together with the team.

Roman's favourite

Boeuf Bourguignon

A classic where, according to Roman, there is nowhere to hide: time, preparation and attention ultimately make the difference.

In the end, only one thing matters to Roman: that a guest receives their plate, tastes it and enjoys it. Then it's right.

A beautiful location with an amazing bright and natural atmosphere. The staff is very friendly and helpful and the food is great. Especially on price for quality, I don't think you can beat this location in Amsterdam.

We had the opportunity to have dinner at Brasserie Lenny, and it was a truly wonderful experience. The dishes were exquisite, with an extraordinary combination of flavours, and many of the dishes pleasantly surprised us. Everything was perfectly cooked and served at the right temperature. Part of the management team was present during our visit, and they were extremely attentive, helpful, and welcoming. The service was friendly and professional throughout the evening. The wine was also of very good quality, and the atmosphere was warm, cosy, and beautifully decorated. We highly recommend Brasserie Lenny if you are looking for delicious food and excellent service. We are sure it will exceed your expectations!
