Restaurant Bougainville Amsterdam Reviews from The Last Year
Should be #1 in Amsterdam
I find it hard to imagine that an individual rated this restaurant as average, let alone very good! Not sure where you have been dining, perhaps you are from a competing fine dining restaurant! Bougainville is simply exceptional in the world of Michelin accredited restaurants. Two of us were there for a five hour dining experience, never rushed, attended to by many staff members unobtrusively at all times. I recommend the chef's selection and pair it with the multi course wine option, you will not be disappointed! The sommelier is wonderful. The chef is an artist, creating flavour profiles with non-traditional elements such as caviar and ice cream. We both wanted to order additional ice cream "to go" simply amazing. Service, presentation, ambiance and wonderful course after course, you will not be disappointed if you are in search of gastronomical excellence.
A culinary experience worth the price!
Dinner at this Michelin restaurant is like watching a culinary ballet! The staff were amazing and seemed to have an extra-sensory ability to read our minds. Our main server, Oliver, was always in the right place at the right time, from being our courses to a trip to the washroom where he seemed to magically appear to grab the doors for me. And speaking of plating our courses, each part arrived from all directions with a carefully coordinated presentation from several servers. On top of it, we had booked this meal as a special anniversary experience after a previous booking had to be cancelled for health reasons, and at the end of the meal we got a chocolate brownie cake glazed with a chocolate Happy Anniversary! Incredible mixology as well with monogrammed ice cubes for their special Old Fashioned. Superior attention to detail and a wonderful Dutch deadpan sense of humour behind it all made this actually memorable dining experience and worth every Euro spent. M&T
Best Food..
The food was excellent. The service was on point. The venue was very nice. I will go back for sure.. The decor is cozy and the restaurant is a bit tight but I kind of liked the vibe of it.
A splendid spot in the center of Amsterdam
This restaurant has a well-deserved Michelin star. The food was simply spectacular. Each plate looked like a work of art. Ronald, the sommelier, is exceptionally well-informed; his suggested wine parings exceeded all expectations. Service was perfect; the dinner was paced nicely. Truly a memorable dining experience.
Great food, great service, great experience!
High quality food, exceptional service all set in a very relaxed atmosphere. We opted for the 7 course tasting menu with wine pairing and each course/wine was a wonderful experience. Our sommelier, Melody, was a delight and guided us through our gastronomic adventure with humour and insight. This is a relaxed 5 star venue, not stuffy or quiet, as they played good music at reasonable volume levels that complimented the friendly and attentive nature of their service. Highly recommended!
Where to begin? What a stunning experience.
We were treated so well from the moment we walked in the door. We were greeted and seated at a lovely table by the Window to Dam Square. We had some bubbles while we settled in and some incredible Amuse Bouches to get our palates awake and refreshed. We opted for the 6 course menu plus some oysters to start. Of Course we had to do the wine pairing which is always a great idea to see what direction they want to take you. It did not disappoint at all. We had the oysters prepared both ways (classic and Bougainville style) excellent. The kingfish was delicious, as was each dish, Scallop, Rutabaga, quail and venison... all the way through the delicious dessert. The wine pairings were great, instead of telling you what you were drinking at the beginning that would wait until you were already pairing the wine with each dish and then show you the wine. I really enjoyed that, it left you free to just experience the wine and food together without preconceived notions (it was also fun to try to guess the wines) the pourings were ample as was the food. We left at the end of the evening very happy, full but not over full and with a lovely wine sweet spot. I need to mention that the entire team, we had 5 maybe 6 folks waiting on us and they all were spot on. We highly recommend Bougainville and will certainly make it a stop on the next trip back to Amsterdam.
Strong consideration.
Service considerate and respectful. Food wonderful as well as presentation. Thought venison a little different from overall 5 course menu. Ambience excellent. Easy access from tram
I did the 6 course tasting menu.
All 6 courses kept getting better as the meal went on. The 2nd course of the potato dish was my favorite dish of the whole meal, it was sweet salty and just melted in your mouth. Combined with the atmosphere with the low lights and the calming music, it enhanced the flavors of the food and the conversation our party had. The wait staff talked through every dish and was there to cater any need we had. This was a place I would go once a month.
Went to Bougainville for dinner to celebrate a birthday and
Went to Bougainville for dinner to celebrate a birthday and had a wonderful experience. We were seated at the Chef's Table which was a real treat. Meeting Chef Golsteijn and interacting with him and his staff as each dish came out was truly terrific. Everyone was friendly and the service was impeccable. The dishes were creative and wonderfully prepared and presented. We had a seven-course meal (plus an extra dessert) and there wasn't a miss. Though we weren't seated there, the main dining room also looked very nice - elegant with a great ambiance. Highly recommend!
Wow! Just wow! Lets start with the service, The service
Wow! Just wow! Lets start with the service, The service here was literally the best service I have ever had in my entire life, the servers were so in sync with each other, extremely friendly and helpful. You can tell they enjoy their job and enjoy their customers. You couldn't even get up to use the restroom without one of them running to Open the door for you while the other folds your napkins. The mood for was fancy with a warm welcoming homey feeling. Reverts to them caring about us actually being there. Nice views and nice music. Not overally crowded or loud either 10/10 Finally the food. I maybe no professional chef but I'm hard to please when it comes to me saying wow that was amazing but just about every dish was absolutely incredible. The food melted in your mouth and had many different flavors throughout the bite. Each dish also had a different style and flavor If i make it back to Amsterdam and feel like doing a repeat Michelin star, this will definitely be the place I go to and will certainly be the place I brag about to my friends. I have been to a few Michelin stars now but this one takes 1st place
7pm reservation for 2, arrived at 655pm.
First ones to sit for that timeframe, it seems? Missus rates this a 4.3/5. Ordered a drink - la vie en rose. Sweet - nice taste - great for the early courses. Second drink was "Bee's knees" - tasted like "lemonade" - I thought it was more like a lemon drop, but it's still good! Four 'premeal appetizers' First was watermelon that was marinated Second was Thai green curry on a small seaweed cracker Third was a caviar spoon Fourth one was basmati rice foam with coconut and split peas, matcha on top. Really interesting! This finished around 745pm - looks like we'll be here for a bit! (guessing 2.5-3 hours) Tasting Menu notes below (listed in menu order - Also actual served order) Course 1: Wild Seabass Two types - kibbelling (fried) and ceviche (running beans, jalapeño) Missus liked both. I liked the temperature of the kibbelling - perfect - very well made. The ceviche reminded me of a tender red snapper - the extra flavours really jump out at you. Course 2: Zucchini Flower Green sauce is spring onion; brown is miso Fennel, garlic, zucchini, bell pepper Temperature was the same as the body - not cold! Missus said that if this were a family-style big dish she'd eat it all. Course 3: Lobster Macadamia nut and water chestnut for crunchiness (bottom); crescent beets, Harissa for spice, brown butter on the bottom Missus really likes lobster: "Dutch really know how to cook seafood" I asked the staff how it was made - the lobster is fresh (killed at 5pm) - probably contributes most to the "freshness" of the dish. Course 4: Veal Veal covered in flour and crispy short rib; Emulsion with balsamic vinegar. Veal with Baba ghanoush, roasted eggplant, and some kind of reduction (sauce). Tasted Mediterranean, kind of? Missus thought this was ok, but a bit salty for her taste. Course 5: Dutch Lamb - theme is Turkey - hummus, Lebanese bread, back of the neck of the lamb. Chanterelle mushrooms Aged 10 days - smell mostly gone Missus (usually not ok with lamb) thought texture was great, didn't have lamb flavour - which she personally liked. Some of the dishes has the same cranberry sauce used in many places. Course 6: Strawberry & Sakura Strawberries - frozen and dried. Missus thought it was refreshing, liked the chocolate underlayer, but it was ok. Didn't really understand the liquid / mixed ingredients. The sorbet on the top was neutral flavour - didn't add anything to the raw dish. Music background is ambient, but expansive (in terms of eras covered) - anything from Lionel Ritchie to Phil Collins, Simple Minds (don't you forget about me), Lee Fields (ladies) Interesting serving technique - usually two people bring you the food (not always same two) - and one stays behind to explain (the other smoothly walks away) I noticed that others getting the wine pairing. The cups weren't as full as others, but you could tell the difference between the red wine pairings and white wine pairings. Random time check: 907pm (2 hours in) - still not at the last of the "mains" - so probably here for 3-3.5 hours, given how slow the food is. 931pm - lamb is done, but still waiting for course 6 (dessert). Somewhat disappointing how spaced out the dishes are. The other tables had staggered start times, so nobody started later than 830pm, but it felt like there was only one seating.

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!
Tune into NBC News - Top Story Tonight 7:40p ET
Let’s go. Get more people placing bids!
I will give you 50% of ALL of my PROFITS if you teach me how to make profits?
LOL. Thank you The New Yorker.
Appointment
Transferring reservations is not supported in AT. Why not just use the name in the AT screenshot?
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Congrats on 3 mil
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🧨🧨🧨 now on to 30 mill!
Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome
to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
