Brasserie restaurants in The Netherlands

  1. A

    Bark

    A quick hop from the Concertgebouw, this genteel, old-line place does a big pre- and post-performance business. For starters, choose from a long shellfish menu or try the blinis of smoked oilfish. For mains, we like the grilled tuna steak with bacon and balsamic sauce.

    Brasserie Harkema

    This cavernous ex-tobacco factory started its career as a restaurant in fine fashion a couple of years ago. Now the hype has subsided, it's just a very good stylish brasserie, with a simple lunch menu and staples such as Caesar salad and entrecôte for dinner.

    Montmartre

    This brasserie has décor that's a little bit lacy and a lunch menu that's very French: understated, yet refined, with lavish attention to detail. The baguettes are seriously pleasing, with all kinds of cheeses and extras like marinated eggplant.

    Panorama

    This brasserie has the best location in town, in the midsection of the Euromast tower. At 100m it almost doesn't matter about the food, with that kind of view and a design to maximise it (the angled windows impart the odd sensation of eating in mid-air). It's a bonus, then, that the menu is up to scratch: fillet of suckling pig and grilled mackerel were recent offerings.
