I've been meaning to visit this little restaurant for ages. And was it ever worth the wait (and weight, because oh god, so much foooooooood)!
The menu is set before you arrive and for under €80, they advise you via email that it'll be a 2-3 hour eating experience.
The meal comes without any wine but the staff here were super helpful and even though it wasn't listed, we were able to get wine by the glass to accompany the meal.
Now service was incredible, every single dish came out at exactly the right time. Some were served to us by the wait staff and some were served by the chefs themselves!
With 12 dishes in total and a bonus one (the little madeleine which I should have just said no to because I was bursting), the entire meal was a beautiful performance that stunned with every dish. The amount of flavours they managed to squeeze into every dish, was incredible!
But the highlight for me was the rhubarb and ice cream. Wafer thin candied rhubarb, poached rhubarb and rhubarb compote with a sprinkling of cucumber relish, artfully plated with a delicate curl of buttercream ice cream; this was a perfect balance of tart and sweet. It was lightly dusted with something that I can't quite remember but honestly, the entire dish was just magic in my mouth!
If you're looking for a way to spoil yourself in Amsterdam, this is it! I would advise reservations, stretchy pants and an appetite! 5 stars!
