Fodor's "The overpriced menu of new Dutch cuisine emphasizes local, fresh, and often organic ingredients in everything from wild boar to pan-fried grey mullet." Full review
Frommer's "The "Five Flies" has nine separate dining rooms spread over five canal houses decorated with objects from Holland's Golden Age -- among them four original Rembrandt etchings." Full review
Insight Guides "Old-school Dutch cuisine doesn’t get better treatment than at this elegant old restaurant."
Zagat4.0
"Diners can choose from à la carte and prix fixe options, all served by "warm" staff with "expert knowledge", and although it's "pricey", fans say it's also "a gem"." Full review

"The innovative dishes on offer at these charming 17C premises are all prepared with typical Dutch products." Full review
Time Out "'The Five Flies' achieves a rich Golden Age vibe - it even has a Rembrandt room, with etchings - but also works as a purveyor of over-the-top kitsch." Full review

Concierge "Visitors to Amsterdam must try Indonesian cuisine ... Genteel, intimate Tempo Doeloe is a classic of the genre."
Fodor's "For decades, this has been a safe and elegant—albeit somewhat cramped—place to indulge in that spicy smorgasbord of the gods, the Indonesian rice table." Full review
Frommer's "For authentic Indonesian cuisine (the name means "The Old Days" in Javanese) from Java, Sumatra, and Bali, this place has it." Full review
Insight Guides "This landmark Indonesian restaurant has managed to maintain their standards over the years as newcomers try to surpass it in the rice and rendang stakes. Don’t skip the desserts."
Lonely Planet "Consistently ranked among Amsterdam's finest Indonesian restaurants, Tempo Doeloe's setting and service are elegant without being overdone." Full review
Zagat3.8
"Fans say the "spicy", "authentic" rijsttafel tabled in "abundant servings" is "a must" at this longtime Rembrandtplein Indonesian." Full review
Gayot13.0
"Try the grilled skewers of goat with hot soy or maybe the steamed mackerel in a hot chili pepper sauce---you win a kewpie doll if you don't break a sweat." Full review
Michelin Guide Bib Gourmand
"Regular diners at Tempo Doeloe or 'Times Gone By' find it difficult to hide their enthusiasm when they visit this restaurant." Full review
Time Out "This cosy and rather classy Indonesian restaurant (heck, it even has white linen) is widely thought of as one of the city's best and spiciest purveyors of rice table, and not without good reason." Full review
