Le Hollandais — Restaurant in Amsterdam

On the Amsteldijk in the Nieuwe Pijp, right on the water, Le Hollandais has been an inconspicuous but unforgettable bistro for years. Almost invisible from outside, a world of its own inside: on the left the bar with a mirrored wall, then a few steps down to the open kitchen with a table for eight, and upstairs a dining room with wood panelling and neatly laid tables with white linen. Chef Rebwar prepares every dish à la minute, from amuse to friandise, all home-made. A real bistro style in which you as a guest are taken along in the culinary process. No fixed menu: you choose the number of courses (three to ten) and the chef decides the rest, based on that day's seasonal produce. Fresh fish and organic vegetables take centre stage. Wine from every region of France, with special attention to small vineyards. Fair prices for the level.
