continental cuisine at affordable prices is the speciality
of chef Victor Kerbosch at this sumptuous Art Nouveau-style
restaurant, overlooking a picturesque, leafy canal in
the bohemian Jordaan district. The signature dish –
beef with poached shallots and armagnac and chanterelle
mushroom sauce – is an absolute must, followed
by crème brûlée with vanilla ice
cream and a cinnamon galette or Dutch cookies served
with vanilla-mascarpone and red fruits. Booking is advisable,
especially for the sought-after tables on the terrace.

| Kantjil
en de Tijger |
Price:
€20. Wine: €15 |
| A
successful combination of modern decor, relaxed but
efficient service and spicy, imaginative cuisine makes
Kantjil en de Tijger (The Deer and the Tiger) one of
the capital’s most popular Indonesian restaurants.
The sensational rijsttafel is a favoured speciality
(literally meaning ‘rice table’, this is
a traditional Indonesian feast of up to 20 rice, vegetable,
meat and fish dishes), although only for those with
big appetites. The sharing dishes can be a helpful tool
in breaking the ice during that all important business
lunch. |
