Frommer's Review

Whether or not you attend a concert at the Concertgebouw, visit its next-door neighbor, Bodega Keyzer. An Amsterdam landmark since 1903 -- old-timers say it hasn't changed a whit through the years (despite having been rebuilt from 2002-2004) -- the Keyzer has enjoyed a colorful joint heritage with the world-famous concert hall. Among the many stories still told here is the one about the night a customer mistook a concert soloist for a waiter and tried to order whiskey from him. The musician, not missing a beat, lifted his violin case and said graciously, "Would a little Paganini do?" The traditional dark, dusky decor and starched pink linens add elegance, while the menu leans heavily to fish from Dutch waters and, in season, to game specialties such as hare and venison.
