Why Amigo Grill

Three reasons to dine with us

Beef we import ourselves

Our tenderloin doesn't pass through a wholesale warehouse. We've worked with the same Argentinian importer for more than a decade, sourcing directly from the Pampas. A fresh shipment arrives every week, with no middlemen and no doubt about its origin.

Warm until the last bite

The tableside grill isn't a gimmick. It's how Argentinians have eaten for generations. We bring your bife de lomo on glowing coals to your table. Your meat stays pink while you keep talking. No one has to rush.

Romantic canal-side dining

Three minutes' walk from the Anne Frank House, in the heart of the canal belt. Views of the Westerkerk, four-hundred-year-old facades. One of the few places in central Amsterdam to genuinely dine right on the water without a tourist queue.

Signature · for 2 people

Gran Parrillada

A parrilla with glowing charcoal arrives at your table. On it: tenderloin, sirloin, spare ribs, prawns, chicken breast and chorizo criollo. Warm from the first bite to the last. You slice. You share. You take your time.

Fourteen years on the canal

Same place. Same fire.

Since 2011, we've lit the charcoal every day at noon. Fourteen years long, on the same Prinsengracht, with the same Argentinian importer, on the same parrilla. No franchises, no second locations. One grill, one place.

I had the 500 gram tenderloin with mushrooms. One of the best steaks I've ever had. It's brought to your table on a mini grill that keeps it hot.
