Het Stuivertje

Frommer's Review

Named for the late, but not greatly lamented, five-cent coin from the old guilder days, the nickname of which was a stuivertje, this small and personable neighborhood eatery, tucked down a narrow side street, is invariably filled with Jordaaners and other Amsterdammers. Meals come from an open kitchen in an agreeably plain, intimate room, with wood chairs and tables, and a small bar. Black-and-white photographs of American stars, like Ol' Blue Eyes, combine unusually on the walls with Old Dutch prints. The limited menu reflects the restaurant's authentic -- 21st-century authentic, that is -- Amsterdam style, featuring classic Dutch dishes with that extra tasty little something, as in the gegrilde varkensfilet met een cantherellen-roomsaus (grilled pork filet in a chanterelles-cream sauce) and the red snapper in pikante kokoskerriesaus geserveerd met rijst, groente en salade (red snapper in a hot coconut-curry sauce, served with rice, vegetable and salad). There are vegetarian choices, daily specials, and a seasonal menu of the month.
