Stopped in here on a Friday evening as I was staying nearby at the Holiday Inn Express. After reading the reviews, I was not expecting much. I was so pleasantly surprised.
The restaurant is very cozy and has a wonderful ambiance. I loved the décor — think old French farmhouse — and the outdoor patio seems like it would be a beautiful spot in warmer weather.
Food — had a yellow pepper soup with chorizo oil. It was SO delicious. Entrée was ahi tuna — this was good, but I felt it was maybe a tad overcooked as I like mine really rare. Dessert — fried banana. Yum!
But, what sealed the deal and gets them five stars was the staff. They were super friendly. They also noticed that my colleague and I came in with umbrellas (we had walked a couple blocks in the rain from the Holiday Inn… winter rain), and they so kindly offered to take us back to the hotel. They have a shuttle van! Who knew?! (We didn’t…would’ve been nice of the hotel to tell us this since the van was co-​branded with a Holiday Inn sticker, but I digress. We declined as we had stuffed our faces and wanted to walk a bit, but the gesture was so nice. I will definitely return if back in the area.

We were greeted at the door to take out jackets and everything else was equally good. The food flavor was excellent and the staff was very helpful. The fruit and sorbet was amazing at the end. Next time I’m in Amsterdam at airport for overnight trip most I will try again.

My meal and quality of service was excellent. I had a chicken salad, soup of the day (asparagus soup), and an orange cheesecake desert. The portion sizes may be small by American standards but it was the perfect serving for me. Both the soup and salad were very tasty and full of flavor. It felt freshly prepared and the serving was very artistic. My cheesecake was a little too big for me and I would have preferred a slightly smaller serving.
I found the waitresses to be very polite, attentive, and easy to talk with. They managed managed the tables with ease and a smile. I have to confess I came on a Sunday evening and maybe it wasn’t running at full customer capacity.
The interior is nicely furnished and very clean. It was a little too dark and chilly to eat outside in the evening but it seems like a great place to have a table. Maybe next time!
The menu is small and a little pricey but there is something for everyone. I don’t know if they have a menu for children with simpler tastes but they did have high chairs for little ones if I am not mistaken.

Ordered mustard soup and found it to be good but not great. More of a butter soup than a mustard soup.(Can go a little stronger on the mustard)
Main entrée was grilled salmon with Frits and salad. Salmon steak was grilled and cooked to perfection. Look out for the bones! Waiter was friendly, spoke English and was attentive. Atmosphere was great and outdoor seating was peaceful/​superb.

Was a little taken back by the waiter’s initial attitude, however since it was a Sunday evening and all of the other spots were closed, the place was packed.
The food on the other hand was an instant hit. Deliciously delicate garlic soup and veggie tagliatelli.
Overall excelent experience. If not for having just one waiter, I’d given the place 5*!

Went last night with a group of 6. Excellent service. The food looked great but had no flavor. Beautiful presentation though…

Like the reviews say, close to the Hampton & Holiday Inn. Nice location — but I’ve got to agree with one of the reviewers who commented on the disinterested staff. But I’m begging to learn that all restaurants in the Netherlands are ‘hit or miss’ — either the staff is great, or they are horrible; the food is either really good or sucks the big Stroopwaffle. At L’Hirondelle, the chefs were spot on — someone in the kitchen truly cares about their art.
But our pseudo waiter — I just wanted to dunk his Dutch butt into the nearest canal (and there are a lot of canals in Holland, FYI). So the food is a 5 star — but our waiter gets a no star.
And if the management of L’Hirondelle ever reads this: your female waitstaff on 17 Oct 2014 was very polite — greeted us at the door and when we left. Your chefs were EXCELLENT! High marks. But the arrogant dirt bag waiter guy that you employ — he’s hurting your business.

A nice walk from the Hampton by the Schipohl airport. Quick and courteous service despite a large private party going on. Salmon steaks with salad and fries for 20 euros. Food was great! Lots of fresh grilled veggies and the salmon was fantastic!
The telling part was all ages of clientele — one can assume that means good portions for a fair price.
Don’t be afraid! Go try it!

Staying at the nearby Hampton Inn, this is the closest place serving food. Slow and disinterested service and It took over an hour to get a sandwich. Unfortunately, not many other options in the area.
