Pedimos pratos diferentes e estavam todos maravilhosos, desde as entradas às sobremesas. O empregado era muito simpático. E por volta das 23h vira uma espécie de bar. Muito bom para começar a noiteWendy Romero2024-03-30Incredible bar manager. It was quiet when we arrived so after some friendly banter he surprised me with a custom cocktail, which was delicious!Barraca LaTranquera2024-03-23Excellent place! The people are very friendly!Jorge Cristobal Arriagada Ibarra2024-03-23Good experience and foodPaul BONNAMY2024-03-21Excellent experience at this place!Yosra Daki2024-03-21Looking for a restaurant with a party atmosphere? Look no further than Illusion Fusion where after dinner time it turns into a party! Situated just two minutes from Rijksmuseum, this restaurant and cocktail bar boasts a stunning dark interior that immediately captivates upon entry. The manager ensures exceptional service, and our experience began with two strong cocktails - one sweet with white chocolate and pistachio, the other tangy with a salty foam topping. Each cocktail is served with a playful twist, adding to the enjoyment. Our entree, the spicy chicken rolls, and one of our mains, the grilled chicken skewers with saté sauce, were flavorful and generously portioned. Our standout was the "quesadilla" (it was more of a burrito actually), featuring tender, well-seasoned meat. While the food was good, it doesn't quite match the precision of restaurants with specialized menus and renowned chefs focused solely on flavor. This place is prioritizes the full experience (dinner + party). Dessert, particularly the brownie we ordered, was a 10/10. Illusion Fusion excels at its thing: offering an experience. It offers an extensive menu, fantastic cocktails, and a lively party atmosphere. Overall, Illusion Fusion provides a memorable experience with attentive service, vibrant décor, top-notch cocktails, and satisfying food.
