(18-20 Ferdinand Bolstraat in Amsterdam, Netherlands)

18twintig is Nederlands for 1820, but this smart Amsterdam restaurant’s design is now now now. A pe...rfect place to restore your appetite and your fine-design-quotient after a visit to the Heineken Brewery, 18twintig is one hip bar, lounge and restaurant. The sensuously undulating banquettes in the bar, the subtle periwinkle and iris seating against the chocolate tiles and fair wood, the decadent chandeliers all add up to one inviting spot to dine, drink and enjoy. The changing menu is Mediterranean, inventive and confident, with dishes like starter of oxtail consommé with a veal cheek raviolo, main course of fried pike perch with ceps, light puree of anchovy and courgette tart, and dessert of red wine and crème de cassis parfait with blueberries. The cheese trolley is rather special here. And the Meeting 18twintig service will help you organise your presentation or gathering with sound system, flipcharts, projectors etc during the day followed by very good private dining for the evening. Upon arrival, please inform the restaurant that your booking was made via toptable. Opening hours: Mon - Thu 6pm - 1am Fri & Sat 6pm - 3am Sun: closed all day [moreless]

(108 Elandsgracht in Amsterdam, Netherlands)

Balthazars Keuken restaurant in the heart of the Jordaan district is one of Amsterdam’s most special... restaurants. It is a long, narrow space set in a former smithy, with scrubbed wooden floors, an open kitchen with pans and utensils hanging in plain view. The moss-coloured banquettes, unadorned wooden seating, and plain white table linens add to the ambience of simplicity and relaxation. And it’s tiny, seating just about 30 inside and a few more on the bijou terrace in fine weather. ‘Romantic’ must be Balthazar’s middle name, in spite of the plain surroundings. Owners Karen Gaasterland and Alain Parry create internationally-inflected three-course fixed-price dinners, with a menu that changes every week. They create. You enjoy. No choice about the dishes, though. The starters are tidbits meant to appeal to all. The mains are perfectly-sourced fish or meat with sides. House wine is from the Languedoc, chosen to complement the Mediterranean-inspired cuisine. Dinner only Wednesday through Friday. Groups up to ten can dine in the restaurant then, or hire the entire venue for private events during the rest of the week. Very popular, very packed. Upon arrival, please inform the restaurant that your booking was made via toptable. A credit card is required for bookings of 6 people or more, absolutely no money will be charged to your card, this is just to secure the booking.

Barok restaurant in Amsterdam’s buzzing Nine Streets district has an interior to please almost every...one. As its name implies, the theme is baroque, but in bright, modern colours with a lounge-y feel – one diner called it Mozart on absinthe. Button-tufted wall coverings in pale persimmon absorb conversation above pale chartreuse leather banquettes while on another level the chocolate walls complement creamy wood paneling and scroll-backed chairs. Three levels and an open kitchen create a cosy ambience and excellent spaces for private dining, from a dozen diners upstairs to 40 seated at the open kitchen level to 75 seated throughout the restaurant. The international menu is stylish too, with a foundation of classic techniques overlaid with sprightly invention and served with real style. Try starter of vodka-oyster shooter, main of skate wing with grilled radicchio, mash and Zaanse mustard sauce, and dessert of warm stewed pears with anise and pear ice cream and Frangelico foam. Terrace available for warm weather. Upon arrival, please inform the restaurant that your booking was made via toptable. Barok is open for lunch on request and only for large groups.
