The 23 Best Restaurants in Amsterdam, the Netherlands | Eater

"The Netherlands’ first West African fine dining restaurant, from Liberian Dutch chef Samuka Kenneh, is a welcome change from the monotonous onslaught of French- and Italian-inspired fine dining in Amsterdam. Set menus offer reimagined West African dishes, with highlights like spicy and tart ampesi (Ghanaian spinach and yam stew) and bofrot, a type of Ghanaian donut, served here with nutmeg ice cream, a crunchy plantain wafer, and fresh citrus. The use of Atlantic fish, like mackerel and sardines, reminds diners that West Africa’s only a boat ride away. Know before you go: You can walk in at lunch, and, for now, you might get lucky enough to be served by Kenneh himself." - Katharine Khamhaengwong
