Frommer's Review

The owner of this traditional old restaurant, one of the best known in Amsterdam, has introduced a fresh approach. The two houses that form the premises were built in 1614 for a wealthy soap maker, Laurens Jansz Spieghel. It's typical Old Dutch inside, with a bar downstairs and dining rooms where bedrooms used to be. The whole place emanates a traditional Dutch tidiness that's very welcoming. There's a garden in back, and adjacent is the 17th-century, domed Ronde Lutherse Kerk (Round Lutheran Church). The menu has been updated and now offers finely prepared seafood and meat dishes such as baked sole filets with wild spinach, and trilogy of lamb with ratatouille -- but just as in the old days, the lamb, from Texel, is still Holland's finest. Be sure to try the traditional Zaanse mustard.
