Best
non
Michelin
starred
restaurant
I've
ever
been
to.
If
you
walk
here,
it's
a
bit
of
a
trek
from
Amsterdam
Central.
You
get
farther
and
farther
away
from
the
city
center
and
it
feels
less
and
less
populated.
Once
we
sat
down,
my
god
the
experience
was
probably
one
of
my
favorite
restaurants.
How
does
it
not
have
a
Michelin
star?
We
began
with
shredded
clam.
π
Sounds
weird,
but
it
was
similar
to
a
very
well
seasoned
oyster.
Then
moved
onto
an
artichoke
with
butter.
Right
after
finishing
the
artichoke,
I
said
I
wished
I
had
bread
to
go
along
with
it.
π₯
Within
a
few
minutes,
our
waitress
popped
by
with
this
amazing
soft
bread
that
absorbed
the
butter
on
the
outside
but
left
the
inside
fresh.
Next
up
was
a
sea
urchin.
π
We've
tried
sea
urchin
in
London's
Borough
Market,
but
it
was
nowhere
near
as
tasty
as
this
one.
Then
we
had
a
sort
of
cooked
oyster?
Not
quite
sure,
but
again
-
delicious.
Leading
up
to
our
main
course
was
this
vegetable
soup.
π₯
The
main
was
a
bird
with
mushrooms.
π
What
we
thought
was
the
last
dish
was
a
mix
of
strawberries,
cream,
and
raw
peas.
π
Who
thought
raw
peas
would
be
good
in
a
dish,
but
they
cut
the
sweetness
of
the
strawberry
to
give
you
a
little
crunch.
We
loved
it
so
much,
the
chef
gave
us
an
extra
course
of
caramelised
eggplant
(or
π
aubergine)
the
chef's
creativity
to
make
a
vegetable
into
a
dessert
in
this
way
was
genius.
We
ended
the
night
emptying
2
bottles
of
wine
and
2
dessert
wine
glasses
over
4
hours.
Not
a
bad
night.
I
would
highly
recommend
this
restaurant
for
those
who
are
adventurous!
Aside
from
food,
both
the
waitress
and
the
chef
were
so
friendly!
If
I
could
give
this
restaurant
6
stars
out
of
5,
I
would.
π
Again,
by
FAR
my
favorite
restaurant
in
Amsterdam
and
it
is
a
top
contender
for
my
favorite
restaurant
of
all...
