"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."
"The pancake dinner with Mark was an amazing experience. He made a variety of Dutch pancakes, and they were delicious. Mark had invited some of his friends over, and it was like spending an evening with old friends. Everyone was friendly and shared information about their lives in Amsterdam. I highly recommend this to anyone. It is a great experience and I will keep an eye out for it when we visit Amsterdam in the future."
"We didn't know what to expect, this was our first time. Mark was great, very friendly and easy to find. The dinner was beyond amazing, he prepared for hours to make it a special evening. We absolutely recommend this experience for any small group. "
"We had a great time with Mark and his friends. The pancakes were amazing and the company was just as good. We talked a lot about the city and its people and at the end of the evening we had a full list of what places we wanted to visit in Amsterdam. Mark's home is beautiful and cozy and we felt very welcomed. Thank you for the great experience! "

Review about Mark
"We really enjoyed our time at Mark's. Amazing food, good music, very nice people and great talks. Thank you and your friends for this experience!
We highly recommend this dinner to all."
"I’m so glad I found Mark and had the opportunity to eat with him and his friends. It was a night I will never forget. Don’t be shy, book this night of food and friends. You won’t regret it! Thanks Mark. You are the pancake king!!"
"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! "
