Innovative restaurant with an open fish market serving a menu of fresh seafood that changes daily.via Google
The market-style setup lets you choose fish and shellfish directly, which makes the meal feel more immediate than a standard restaurant order. It suits people who want seafood with a bit of theatre.

I think its a great concept and the fact that you know that what you are getting is so fresh is amazing. The only thing that i suggested to them as well is that a clearer picture of the prices. Since i was a tourist and didnt know the language and to be honest even the name of some of the fish/seafood i chose, i wasnt sure what bill to expect at the end. Same goes for the wine section too. Other than that highly recommended place to visit and a must experience.
My girlfriend and I are tourists from Hong Kong. It was our first time dining at this type of restaurant, where you choose your own seafood like at a fish market. The staff were very attentive and gave us detailed explanations. They told us about the origin and cooking method of each item, and also offered helpful recommendations to make it easier for us to choose. We ordered fresh oysters, mashed potatoes, french fries, fish fillet, and mussels. The quality of the food was generally okay. However, the waiting time was really long — we waited nearly an hour between the oysters and the mussels being served. It seemed the restaurant was very busy with many customers that day. The place was quite noisy, but we could still have a conversation. Overall, we felt the food was a bit overpriced for the quality. There were also some hidden charges, so it would be better if the pricing was clearer and more transparent.
I celebrated my 40th birthday here last week and had a fantastic time, would recommend. The fish market is a great touch where you can choose from available seafood and have the preparation explained to you. We went for french oysters, tuna ceviche, tuna steak, octopus and fries. The tuna and oysters were our favourite dishes, and the seafood is very reasonably priced.
Pesca was one of the highlights of our time in Amsterdam. The restaurant offers a unique seafood market style experience where guests select their fish directly from a daily display before choosing how it will be prepared. The process is interactive and fun without feeling overwhelming. After choosing seafood, guests can also select sides and wine before sitting down for the meal. Everything we tried was excellent and incredibly fresh. The oyster preparation on the day we visited was especially memorable and ended up being one of our favorite dishes of the night. Overall, the combination of high quality seafood, interactive dining, and great atmosphere made this one of the best seafood experiences I’ve had.
Really good quality fish and delicious food. The experience itself was so fun just picking out the fish and the wine and being seated, a really great concept. I would just say skip the red gurner it wasn’t cooked as well as the sea bass and griet I saw on other people’s tables :) was slightly chewy. the ceviche was amazing highly recommend! The steamed oysters were absolutely incredible and the star of the show was the octopus!!
