★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Cozy atmospheric interior, dated in a way I like! Unfortunately the food Used to be better… when I came here in 2018. I recall being very pleasantly surprised at such a tourist street restaurant being good. Now the quality has gone down hill. Potatas bravas just basic and not freshly cooked potatoes wedges smothered in khebab shop garlic Mayo and ketchup. Fun but not classy. Ordered cheapest steak and it was ok in tenderness but slightly weird . Most service was quite functional but efficient indeed.
Red wine was very good indeed however !

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Castillo, 4 tapas, 1 dessert, 1 bottle merlot, tap water: €84
Tapas are a fickle mistress. Everyone has a favourite: favourite type, favourite place, memory, holiday or local. You believe you know what’s good, what’s great and what’s an imposter. It’s also difficult to find value for money as a collection of appetite filling small plates will set you back a sizeable amount.
Castillo faces this challenge and, ultimately, the dishes were average. Patatas bravas in its hits the familiar notes with signature slightly spicy sauce but slightly mayonnaise sauce (less aioli) served simply like potato wedges in a bowl. The garlic prawns with chilli are overpowered by the spice rendering a dish absent discernible garlic - a shame as sticky, fudgy garlic can be a joy. The chorizo is fatty, chewy and bleeds oily red smoked paprika with a growing spice brewing. Our manchego cheese, thinly sliced and arranged like a pizza triangles, is mild but non-distinct. The ice cream and chocolate fudge has all the hallmarks of a child’s birthday party.
Tapas have moved on so much and modernised that this selection of classics all feels reminiscent of something great but cruises down the middle lane.
Yet, Castillo’s best feature is its service. The waiters here are the most attentive and reactive I experienced in two weeks of enduring apathy. They are helpful as we escape the sudden rain outside to the warmer more dramatic interior bringing everything in; this sounds unremarkable: come to Amsterdam and try getting help elsewhere.
The wine menu is strong with nods towards Spain and Argentina.
Would I come back? Divided. I would certainly come to sit at the bar, drink wine and graze on tapas to soak up the booze.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The place has great style, the staff was lovely and the food was simply great! From the entrée olives to the garlic mushrooms, everything tasted amazing. One of the best pan con tomate that I've ever had. And the wine was delicious too! I will definitely come back.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Excellent tapas spot with top notch service and a fun vibe. The food is delicious and there are great choices for tapas. Our sever was very attentive and made sure we were well taken care of. Fair prices I would say as well (our party of 3 total bill was €70).

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Nice spot to stop for Tapas. We really enjoyed the tacos with guacamole, olives, BBQ chicken wings and cheese sticks. The cheese sticks were filled with a gorgonzola type cheese. Black and green olives with a few peppers were quite nice. Nice place to rest your legs after walking through the old city of Amsterdam. Good choice of drinks on the menu as well. Really nice ambiance. Would come again if visiting Amsterdam. Staff were friendly.
