Yesterday my good friend F. and me went for dinner in La Rive at the Amstel hotel(a magnificent old hotel on banks of the Amstel river.This week is so called "restaurant week" in which u can experience fine dining at high end restaurants at discounted price.La Rive is listed in the Michelin restaurant guide and has been awarded with one star.Needless to say it was a heavenly experience.The food was delicious and innovative;
first 2 different "amuses"(of which one was a caramelized cherry tomate with herbs,fried and then slightly frozen again
appetizer was a roasted coquille, leaf lard,salsify,clam, savoy cabbage and smoked sausage
main course, sauteed cod, eel fritter, cauliflower,zucchini with verjus reduction
pre dessert
spoom of lime sherbet with vanilla foam
and dessert selection of traditional homemade ice cream and sherbets
The restaurant is decorated in a Ralph Lauren club style with waiters in Tails and white bow tie.You get an impacable service and once you have been to this class of restaurants you will never want to go anywhere else anymore(according to my experiences..).Its worth every penny, but i rather save up to go here and skip the cheaper restaurants for few months
Friday we will have lunch in a 2 star michelin restaurant,Ron Blaauw ,in a small village outside Amsterdam, so i really spoil myself this week(one has to indulge oneself now and then:-)
