Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We live in Amsterdam and have found that it is hard to find a good restaurant for seafood. So we were really happy to find this place which is a little bit out of the centre and off the tourist trail. It was a relief...to find a place which is not a chain, where the servers are interested in the food and serving you, and where the menu is not just the same old, same old. We are not gin drinkers (sorry!) so I can't say anything about all those interesting sounding cocktails. We did have very good craft beer, though. Mussels are the star and the variety of sauces was a lot more interesting than other places. The truffle sauce was superb, as was the Thai red curry which included extra touches like kaffir lime leaves, star anise etc. The fries were great too. Prices are very reasonable and the location inside a big park is very pleasant. In nice weather they have outdoor tables. We will be back!More

Wonderful! The mussels and the gin cocktail were absolutely amazing! I had the blue cheese mussels with frites. The gin mayo is the best thing I have tried in a very long time. It is a must if you are visiting Amsterdam.

Don't overthink it. Just go. It's right at the end of the no 12 tram so easy to get to. Just walk from there into the park. If you like mussels and you like gin .. then what else is there to know? My ony...comment is that the roquefort sauce didn't combine well with the pomegranate gin. But on the bright side that gave me an excuse to get another gin! And yes there are other drinks and other dishes, but not many other dishes. Oh and best chips ever, esp with gin mayo. Very popular so def book.More

If you enjoy great mussels and an extensive cocktail list of gin drinks, this is the place for you. Casual and fun dinning.

You need to like mossels and gin....but they do both super well....cocktails are great, mossels rather good. Service is excellent . One sad point....tables are very uncomfortable, too basic, uncomfy chairs...outside setting is on stones, table equipment is messy, a bit like a cantine...and that...s fine, but it hardly matches a 8 euros gin....More

After a visit to an art fair in the westergas park, on a horribly rainy night, I did not want to go far and tried this restaurant. The truffel mussels were fantastic, the gin cocktail a perfect accompaniment, and we get to take home our...free tube of gin-mayo, a vegan mayonnaise (Don't ask what's in it!). Had the weather been better I would have sat outside, but the blasting music was definitely reduced the appreciation of the meal. I do not know why, restaurants believe that blasting decibels is necessary in a restaurant. As they say, there should be a law! Why don't they blast their sound system in one area, and at least leave another area without speakers, a little like the old smoking-no smoking sections. To be considered.More

Not so far from the city center, we found that gem. The place was interesting, the service amazing and super friendly and the mussel pots delicious. Oh, I forgot the great Gin cocktails. It was definitely a dinner to remember!

Great seafood cafe inside the park. Everything is fresh there (what is most important for mussels and oysters for sure). Great gin drinks. And if it is especially sunny- you do not want to leave.

I have been to Mossel & Gin twice now and both times have been really nice. They only do two things, Mussels + Gin & Tonics, however they do them both REALLY well. The new ordering / QR code system works nicely and everything arrives...in quick time. The Gins are all wonderful, refreshing and different and there is enough variety of mussel flavors for everyone. The Roquefort & truffle mussels are delicious however they can be very rich so it can be a struggle to eat them all as the portions are very generous here. They play really good music so sitting outside on the terrace is recommended in the summer!More
