So Wonderful! - This was an adventure. Small setting with other couples in the home of wonderful hosts. They can really cook up a meal to be remembered. Gracious hosts with good food, wine and stories of their homeland. We will remember this one.

Great experience - The whole experience was very Amsterdam. We walked down a narrow pedestrian street in De Wellen to their door. The flat was beautifully decorated. The view out the window was of the oldest canal. Olaf and Martine were excellent hosts. The meal was outstanding and very Dutch. It was our best experience of a 16 day tour of Europe.

Wonderful Meal with Wonderful People - We were in Amsterdam in April of 2018 and had the most delicious home-cooked meal in a warm, welcoming, atmosphere and met some very nice diners. The owners/chefs, Martine & Olav, went out of their way to feed and entertain us in their home...even going so far as to walk us back to the local hotel where we got an Uber back to our hotel.

A wonderful experience, great Dutch food and good company! - Martine and Olav were wonderful hosts! They served us a wonderful, traditional Dutch meal - taking the time to explain each dish and answer our questions. We ate and drank well, it felt very homey, yet very professional and it was wonderful also meeting people from around the world. They were also very generous in sharing tips and suggestions for my time in Amsterdam. It was a lovely evening! I highly recommend it.

Exceptional and unforgettable! - We had such a lovely evening with Martine & Olav! The food was absolutely delicious and their house was very cozy and beautiful. Most importantly, Martine and Olav are the best hosts ever! So friendly and caring. They dined in turn with us while the other person cooked in the kitchen. They introduced each dish, told us about the Netherlandish history, and shared so many interesting personal stories about Amsterdam. It was a great honor and pleasure to meet such nice and generous people! In addition, the other two guests were also extremely nice and we all felt truly at home throughout the dinner! Thank you so much for everything, Martine & Olav! Highly recommend!
