Seafood including lobster & oysters served in an informal setting with aquarium & sidewalk seating.via Google
A long-running seafood address with a more formal feel, useful if you want a sit-down dinner built around fish rather than a mixed menu.

Excellent fish restaurant in the middle of Amsterdam City. Lucius was on our wish list for long time and we finally had an amazing dinner there. Service, ambience, taste and presentation of food was fabulous. I chose girallade and all 4 sorts of grilled fish were all at the sweet spot. We will definitely visit Lucius back soon. They are there for a good reason last 50+ years.
This was definitely the best meal we had in Amsterdam. The atmosphere, the service and the super delicious food! We had lobster bisque, octopus, black tiger prawn and catch of the day fish. Everything was fresh and perfectly presented. If we'd stayed in the city for one more day then we will definitely visit this place again!
Sadly off the mark and in need of a reboot. Service is fine but food definitely underwhelming. We had eaten here before to great satisfaction as early as last year and were disappointed twice in a row so won’t go back again. A triple fruits de mer platter arrived on a bed of half melted ice, with the shrimp and crab claws soggy from absorbing water. The mixed grilled fish plates arrived without any apparent concern for aesthetic plating - just tossed on the plates. The fish and chips were a monstrosity - a single blob of fried, overcooked unidentifiable fish served on top of a small sad collection of worn out almost cold fries. Tiger prawns on a bed of white asparagus (from a jar?) were marginally better. It’s very sad when a reliable restaurant hits the skids- Lucius has a lot of work to do If it wants to attract real diners again rather than tourists. Beck to Seafood Bar for me.
We had some oysters and a selection of fish all of which were delicious and flavoursome. The ambiance is relaxed. The staff were lovely and attentive.
Our first meal in Amsterdam was a delightful experience. After checking into our hotel, we sought the concierge’s recommendation for a nearby restaurant that served Dutch or seafood. As a foodie, I always relish trying local cuisine when possible. However, tonight, we had a craving for some fresh fish. The restaurant was conveniently located about a 10-minute walk from our hotel. As the night grew darker, the ambiance of Amsterdam transformed into a cozy and inviting atmosphere. We had made a reservation for 8 pm and arrived promptly. Upon settling in, our waiter promptly presented us with the drinks menu, which was a refreshing departure from our usual experience of receiving everything at once or a single menu encompassing both drinks and food. The food arrived hot, fresh, and bursting with flavor. While I enjoyed the prawns, I felt that they could benefit from a bit more seasoning to enhance their taste. Despite this minor oversight, the overall meal was satisfying. The soles were a standout, with both large and small portions offering a delightful experience when accompanied by butter. The side dishes were expertly prepared and complemented the main course perfectly. In conclusion, I highly recommend this restaurant. Not only does it offer a delightful dining experience, but the service is also commendable and friendly.
