Diner @ VandeMarkt

Situated along the Amstel river, VandeMarkt (literally "from de market") is renowned for its attention to every, single detail. With a monthly-rotational menu, they use only fresh, seasonal ingredients to create their dishes. Furthermore, with an extensive wine selection, which can be seen first-hand in their beautiful in-house wine cellar (the largest of its kind anywhere in the Netherlands), no two experiences here, are ever the same.
The presentation was excellent, the taste was... ok... I'm afraid I was not thoroughly amazed by it and expected a bit more. Won't be rushing back there any time soon if you see what I mean...
