 Wine and champagne bar |
Nes 37 Amsterdam 1012 Netherlands +31 (0)20 422 3318 http://www.bubblesandwines.com |
Just a short stroll from Amsterdam's Dam Square sits champagne and wine bar Bubbles & Wines. A state of the art nitrogen storage system prevents oxygen from compromising the integrity of opened wines, thus allowing the place to offer over 50 wines by the glass. All are available as tasters, half-glasses, and full glasses. Custom-tailored tasting flights are featured, as well as a tempting menu of caviars, cheese assortments, and other small plates.

Belgian all the way |
Herenstraat 3 Amsterdam 1015 BX Netherlands +31 (0)20 626 3332 |
After a romantic boat ride along the Amstel River, halt at Chez Georges for a quiet continental dinner. This small but charming restaurant serves up an appetizing Belgian fare. The interiors have a classic influence complemented with mirrors and attractive wallpapers and dim lighting. Be prepared to order a whole seven course meal because, once you start there's no stopping. You can choose the gourmet menu or opt for the a la carte. The special treat comes with a steep price. So be prepared to shell out quite an amount. Go ahead and feast the Belgian way! Review © 2007, Wcities |

Loved by Michelin |
Leliegracht 46 Amsterdam 1015 DH Netherlands +31 (0)20 625 0807 http://www.christophe.nl/ |
For the gourmet whose wallet matches his appetite, Christophe is one of the few restaurants in Amsterdam with a Michelin star. You will find a quiet setting of dark wood and thick carpets; an excellent choice for a romantic evening. Owner Christophe Royer makes himself available to discuss the menu. The restaurant was awarded the Michelin star for its inspired cooking, adding innovation to Mediterranean staples like basil, olive oil and saffron to create temptations like White Asparagus with oysters, and Roasted Rabbit. Private dining is available. See website for menu, philosophy and more. Review © 2007, Wcities |

A historical trip |
Nieuwmarkt 4 Amsterdam 1012 CR Netherlands +31 (0)20 422 7772 |
The name befits the location: a trip to "In de Waag" will find you within the walls of the city's oldest building, at the bustling city center. Built in 1488, the structure's design and décor takes one back to its glory days. Careful preservation and embellishment with candles and mood lighting give the interiors a warm, romantic and classy ambiance. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Home of Holland's TV-cook |
Ruysdaelstraat 54-56 Amsterdam 1071 XE Netherlands +31 20 679 7176 http://www.restaurantlegarage.nl/ |
Restaurant Le Garage is named after the function of the building in the Fifties. The modern restaurant is owned by television star and Crazy Cook Joop Braakhekke. This is a very stylish and glossy restaurant. It serves an extensive menu and a delicious three-course dinner for a set price whilst light meals are cooked with great relish. Both the food and the interior have succumbed to French influences. You will find here professional waiting-staff and a lot of velvet, sofas, paintings, and mirrors! Review © 2007, Wcities |

High Five |
Prinsenstraat 10 Amsterdam, NH 1015 DC Netherlands +31 20 428 2455 http://www.restaurant5.nl/ |
A beautiful place to dine at, the name says it all. The menu is a choice of 5 starters, 5 main courses and 5 desserts, or try the daily changing "5 course surprise menu". Compliment it with wine from the generous range offered. Book the Candle Room for that first date, anniversary or even an engagement party. Reservations can be made online or over the phone.

'Glassy' dining! |
Kamerlingh Onneslaan 3 Amsterdam 1097 DE Netherlands +31 (0)20 462 4562 http://www.restaurantdekas.nl/ |
As you walk into this well-lit restaurant, you might for a moment wonder whether you've reached a 27 feet high glass conservatory. The glass walls enable your eyes to feast on beautiful views of the greenery outside, as you enjoy your four-course lunch. Come by for a romantic evening, to dine on a five course meal under the starry sky. The menu changes daily and the wine list weekly. The restaurant is divided into various sections— the restaurant for one, then there is the Bar Table, Business Table, Patio, Garden Room and not to forget the Chef's Table, where you are left to the mercy of the staff in the kitchen. What's more most of the ingredients used here are organic and are purchased from local farmers or handgrown by them at Purmer polder. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Restaurant November is a well-known restaurant on the sparkling Spui, in the heart of Amsterdam. You will find lots of Dutch as well as international cafes and restaurants in this small area. The menu features mainly small snacks - Spanish tapas and salads - but you can also order a complete dinner. The food is high quality and is all made with fresh ingredients. Dishes have a distinctive French/Mediterranean quality. This place can be described as half restaurant, half café. The interior is characterised by wooden tables, lots of mirrors and plants and a very high ceiling. This is a popular spot amongst students. Review © 2007, Wcities |
