In the heart of the Amsterdam canal district lies Museum Van Loon, a magnificent private residence built in 1672 by the architect Adriaen Dortsman. The first resident was the painter Ferdinand Bol, a pupil of Rembrandt. The interior of the house has remained largely intact during the last centuries and still evokes the splendor of the 17th century.  Keizersgracht 672

Much attention is paid to the decoration and the preparation of the sauces. The atmosphere is informal and you feel very welcome. A reservation is recommended. Herenstraat 3 https://chez-georges.nl

Toscanini is a great place for Italian fine dining. They use recipes from different Italian regions, often executed in the classica way, but also often with their own “twist”. Toscanini’s wine list is, apart from champagnes, completely Italian, with many hidden pearls of small producers. Lindengracht 75-79 https://restauranttoscanini.nl/en

You will find Zeppos in the picturesque alley 'Gebed Zonder End', located between the Nes, the Oudezijds Voorburgwal and the Grimburgwal. A hidden gem in the oldest part of Amsterdam, 100 meters walking distance from metro Rokin, exit Spui. Zeppos is a holiday in our own country, partly due to its southern appearance.

“Momenti”, located on the Herenstraat, one of the most elegant streets in the very city center of Amsterdam, is the latest creation of Marco Boldrini, Federico Galli and Marco Lupi. The latter, previous chef of “La Maschera”, is now also part of the management team for both restaurants. “Momenti” is the next evolution of a successful journey of 3 Italian guys who, after completing professional culinary training in Italy, together pursue their dream of sharing the real Italian food -and wine culture in the beautiful city of Amsterdam. Playing off the synergy that was established at “La Maschera del Lillotatini”, the 3 owners combine their skills to offer their guests a unique culinary experience at “Momenti”.
