Top place! Wonderfully convivial, a fantastic atmosphere in the conservatory, friendly staff and delicious food. Three courses at around €50 pp — very reasonable for Amsterdam.

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!
