There
are
numerous
Argentinian
steak
restaurants
in
the
immediate
vicinity
of
Dam
Square,
most
with
identical
menus.
If
it's
a
New
York
style
steakhouse
that
you
crave,
you
have
to
check-out
Mr.
Porter,
a
rooftop
restaurant
on
the
upper
floor
of
the
W
Hotel,
a
trendy
hotel
in
the
Spuistraat,
where
there
is
usually
a
Lamborghini,
Bentley
or
something
similar,
parked
outside
the
front
door.
Just
before
you
reach
the
restaurant
reception
area,
there
is
a
large
floor
to
ceiling
vitrine
displaying
various
mouth
watering
cuts
of
meat
being
aged
to
perfection.
In
the
background,
a
team
of
chefs
are
busy
carrying
out
culinary
preparations.
A
host
or
hostess
guides
you
to
your
table.
An
extension
of
the
hotel's
W
Lounge,
the
restaurant
occupies
an
impressive
amount
of
floorspace.
The
terrace
has
outdoor
seating
for
those
who
prefer
to
dine
'al
fresco'.
The
views,
mostly
of
the
eastern
and
western
parts
of
the
city,
are
sensational,
with
many
of
the
city's
landmarks
clearly
visible.
An
eclectic
selection
of
curated
music,
often
emanating
from
DJs
next
door,
blends
in
with
the
surroundings
to
create
the
perfect
ambience.
If
you
bring
guests,
you
know
they
won't
be
disappointed.
It's
also
the
perfect
venue
for
family
and
business
celebrations,
or
to
propose
to
the
love
of
your
life.
The
menu
features
a
"Little
Kick
Start"
-
a
diverse
choice
of
appetisers
such
as
fresh
oysters,
spicy
yellow
tail
sashimi,
pan
fried
baby
squid,
Taboon
roasted
Foie
Gras,
Beef
Tartare
and
various
vegetarian
options.
Carpaccio,
is
offered
in
meat,
fish
and
vegetable
variants,
as
are
the
salads.
There
is
a
limited
seafood
selection
including
grilled
lobster.
If
it's
meat
you've
come
to
eat,
you
won't
be
disappointed.
Personal
favourites
include
Chateaubriand
with
Foie
Gras,
Japanese
Wagyu
A3,
New
York
Strip
and
Rib
Eye
on
the
bone.
Mrs
Porter
weighs
in
at
an
impressive
750
grams
plus,
or
for
the
really
daring,
Mr
Porter
tops
the
scales
in
excess
of
1100
grams.
Sides
are
not
included
and
have
to
be
ordered
separately.
The
wine
list
is
impressive;
They
also
create
wicked
cocktails
here.
If
you
still
have
room,
usually
it's
a
struggle,
dessert
features
strawberry
cheesecake,
coconut
Tom
Yum
Caviar
and
mango,
chocolate
fondant,
profiteroles,
fruit
bowl
or
Cheese
platter.
Prices
are
not
cheap,
but
still
reasonable
when
you
consider
the
oh
so
delicious
food,
impeccable
service,
great
views
and
unique
surroundings.
