"I would say the best meal in Amsterdam. Simon and his partner are so sweet. They were really amazing host. Food was really goood and healthy. Everything is perfect. Definitely comeback next time."

"From the moment we walked in Simon and Rain made us feel right at home. the atmosphere was full of warmth and charm. The host had thoughtfully prepared the space, creating a cozy, intimate environment that felt both festive and personal The lunch was outstanding. Every dish was homemade and filled with care—delicious, fresh, and beautifully presented. Beyond the food, it was the genuine hospitality that made the experience so special. We shared laughs, stories, and a real connection with our host, which turned a simple lunch into a meaningful memory. Thank you both for a wonderful day! "

"Anyone looking to join these guys for a meal are in for a treat! Simon is an amazing cook, and the conversation over lunch was simply the best. If you haven’t tried this experience because you’re afraid of awkwardness, don’t be! They make you feel at home very quickly."

"My spouse and I had such a wonderful time with Simon and Rein - food and wine were delicious too! Could not recommend more! "

"We had the BEST time with Simon!! He is an amazing host and chef. Simon made sure we were all comfortable and well taken care of. We will be recommending Simon to everyone we know traveling to Amsterdam!!"

"I was a little wary when booking this - dinner with two strangers in their home? But do not hesitate - this is really dinner with two new friends, Simon and Rein! The food was fantastic - shrimp appetizer, lamb, and molten chocolate cake. Then the wine! I *hate* even the smell of wine, but I tried all that they offered and ended up enjoying three glasses! But the best part was the conversation-we could have easily stayed for even longer if we hadn't had an early train! An absolutely fantastic night, and to top it off, they have two delightful dachshunds so I even got to give some dog scratchies! "

"This was the second time we had been to Amsterdam. We were fortunate enough on the first trip to dine with Simon, his husband, and their two delightful pups. The whole family agreed that since we were returning to Amsterdam, this would be the one experience we would repeat. If you enjoy fine dining, great conversation, and wonderful wine pairings, do not miss this opportunity. I honestly don't know how they manage it... It has been seamless on both trips and a definite highlight of both. We honestly feel like we have a family of new friends in Amsterdam thanks to their hospitality. We do plan to return to Amsterdam in the next year or so, and when we do, we already are planning to see if we can make another dinner engagement with Simon. "

"First a big thank you to Simon & Rein, for a fantastic evening, with lovely Dutch food and wine. To all of you, that readers, these reviews, if you come to Amsterdam, do not cheat yourself, for a dinner evening with Simon and his husband Rein. Two amazing people, very easy to talk to. Try it. "

"We were looking to begin our trip to Amsterdam by eating with locals and getting some insider recommendations on things to do for the rest of our trip. Simon and Rein were absolutely FANTASTIC hosts and we enjoyed every minute of our expereince. Simon was a great cook preparing delicious dishes that exhibited the local flavor. Rein showed us some great local Dutch wines and did not allow our glasses to run empty. Both were fantastic conversationalists and we thoroughly enjoyed our time at their house. We left the experience feeling like we had two new friends in Amsterdam and will certainly be reachign out to Simon and Rein to grab a drink next time we're in the city! "

"What a wonderful evening. Simon, his husband and 2 dachshunds were perfect hosts. I was welcomed with lovely appetizers and wine. Their home is beautiful and I see why they enjoy sharing it. All the food was great. We had a shrimp salad course, main dish of white asparagus with ham, egg and potato followed by an excellent chocolate mousse. Conversation flowed as easily as the wine. I highly recommend this local experience. "
