My Mum and Stepdad took me to MAX in Amsterdam a couple of weeks before my 21st birthday as a treat after seeing it advertised in one of the touristy leaflets we picked up, and we had the most lovely evening. The restaurant lived up to its photographs, the interior is modern and trendy. The food was beautiful, reasonably expensive... More

I like Indonesian cuisine, and Max has done great credit to it. Very attractive restaurant, and Max is a very likeable personality. His team all seemed very personable as well. Concise but interesting wine list. Lots of good advice from Max. Food was very good. Menu is fixed price. Pay for either two or three courses. There are first starters,... More

Located in a street that seems to be full of good restaurants, Max caught our attention with their creative and unusual fusion/international menu. The funky, colourful interior worked better than expected, some might find the music a bit loud, but for us it actually suited the place. This is a busy little gem which excels in customer service and the... More

I think TA over scores this place. It is buzzy and in a good area. But everything was just OK and some of the cooking was not that great. The fusion food was too hot most of the time. I can take madras curry easily but this chilli heat was too much - it drowned the food just leaving loads... More

Fabulous food in a fabulous setting, no nonsens service. Second visit and was just as expected. We all ate something different and we all agreed that the food was absolutely delicious. Scallops with cinnamon, asparagus with wild salmon, lamb with French coconut sauce and the spicy Indonesian fish were excellent also our wines Rioja and Ripasso Valpolicella were great. Nice... More

We enjoyed a great meal in this modern restaurant. The service was friendly and efficient even it was packed. Well done. The wine list was good priced and the menu was varied and Inviting. Flavors are superb and food is cooked to perfection. Love the Dutch asparagus specials, dessert the crispy banana pie with the cocont sauce is fantastic. All... More

We didn't have a booking but the friendly staff made us feel welcome. The food was beautifully prepared and presented and the Indonesian twist is inspired

One thing that I love about food in Amsterdam (or maybe the entire Netherlands) is that it seems to be fresh and made to order. I didn't feel that this was true at MAX. The food felt "cookie cutter" and lacking life. I went for the Asian dishes, my dining companion the European ones. I would agree that the Asian... More

Don't really remember what I had but I went for the more "Asian" inspired dishes and they where all great. My girlfriend had the European dishes and they where mediocre. Service was good, nothing ordinary.
