 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 |

French Cuisine at Great Prices |
Guldehandsteeg 17 Amsterdam 1012 RA Netherlands +31 (0)20 620 4225 http://www.decompagnon.nl |
Opened in 1992 by Bert and Sara van Buschbach (Bert having worked in some of the city's best restaurants; Sara a wine expert), De Compagnon is considered by locals as one of the best French restaurants in town. It boasts an excellent Burgundian menu (veal sweetbreads, dates stuffed with goose liver) and a fabulous wine selection, all fairly affordable. The décor is pleasant, with attention to privacy; the tables are spread over three floors creating a feeling of intimacy. Lovely drawings of Amsterdam throughout the last few centuries adorn the walls. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Trendy food with a fabulous view |
Amstel 2 Amsterdam 1017 AA Netherlands +31 (0)20 639 2899 |
Restaurant Inez IPSC (International Private Society Club) was opened by the late Peter Giele, founder of other trendy spots around town; his wife Inez runs it. The menu includes Asian and Middle Eastern influences, is as flamboyant as the colorful interior, and complemented by stylish service. You can order à la carte or choose a fixed-price menu. An ideal place for the hip and trendy, this restaurant lies in the middle of the city center. The spectacular view overlooking Munt leads artists, designers and diners alike to find inspiration here.
