Van Kerkwijk @ Nes


Van Kerkwijk at Nes (the street with all the theaters) is a cute little restaurant in the centre of Amsterdam with an often changing menu. Instead of handing out a hard copy of the menu, the waiters tell you in person what you can eat that evening while standing at your table. The place serves quality food which is not regular 'eetcafé' food but instead it the cooks makes interesting combinations like tournedos with goat's cheese and raspberry sauce. And, not unimportant: they also have nice options for vegetarians. As a dessert, you should really try the home made pies (especially the one with pear!) although you should make sure that you reserve a little spot in you stomach for it since the portions can be pretty big :-) Besides the fact that the food is nice, van Kerkwijk has a cosy and relaxed atmosphere, especially in the evening when it is all light up with candles. You can't make a reservation but if you wait for a few minutes there'll always be a table available soon. Van Kerkwijk is a nice option to go to if you are in the city centre and want to have dinner but at the same time escape all the tourists.
