Mediterranean restaurants in The Netherlands

  1. A

    Envy

    This hip, sleek restaurant encourages diners to take a five-course menu of seemingly endless, top-notch tasters. The designer globes are there to light up the media stars here most weekends.

    Op de Tuin

    This is the kind of informal neighbourhood restaurant where you can sit snacking on an antipasti platter (let the chef decide on a mix of Mediterranean standards) or a light pasta dish, and fantasise that you live across the street. Many of the regulars do.

    Raïnaraï

    The nomadic menu at this Algerian restaurant might offer seared salmon on chickpea-pumpkin-spiced couscous, or grilled sardines with asparagus, broad beans and tomatoes. It changes all the time, but rest assured it usually wows the palate. The old industrial building, decked out with Arabian-style cushions and copper fixtures, is in the Westergasfabriek.

    Le Petit Latin

    Easy to overlook, with its step-down entrance, the 'Little Latin' drips with culinary authority, and it's not just the curled travel posters from the Côte d'Azur. If you can't read the blackboard scrawl, chef Jacques from Marseille will crouch to give you the day's specials - Aquitaine lamb? Fresh mullet flown in from the Riviera? Who can say non. The wine list is brief but formidable. Reserve or weep.
