Frommer's Review

A fast, last-minute dash from here should get you to the Muziektheater or Theater Carré just in time for the evening curtain rise, but that would involve dining in unseemly haste (the expression "wolfing down" comes to mind), and undervalues the performance of the excellent kitchen and knowledgeable waitstaff. The plush red carpet, chandelier, and wine cupboard suggest classical timelessness, yet modern decor and paintings tell a different story. Named after Amsterdam's Impressionist painter George Hendrik Breitner, this restaurant finds a way to fuse a classic French foundation with this world city's cosmopolitan spirit. The smoked rib-eye starter with Szechuan pepper, and turbot stew with Indonesian vegetables are just two examples. Light floods in from big riverside and canalside windows, so a window seat guarantees fine views on the water. Ordering from the strong wine list will enhance your dining experience.
