In a former Stork factory, somewhere in a desolated area with only industry, Amsterdam has one of its best French Restaurants, named Hotel de Goudfazant. It is situated in an old hangar with a view on the IJ river. From the outside, you only see big garage doors that reflect some signs of a restaurant. When you enter, the interior is industrial, open and very surprising. The restaurant is an open space with a heigh ceiling and red chairs on simple white covered tables. The bar is made out of painted brick stones. When you walk towards the toilets you pass two cars hanging above each other, as if you stepped into an auto garage. Left from that, there is a piano, and just after the hanging cars is a chesterfield couch to relax. They also have a private space, separated with large glass walls. And then the FOOD <3. A pate of duck with cranberry and pistachio to start with, a guinea with truffle gnocchi and green aspargues as main course and a delicious cheese platter to top if off. A top quality French three course menu for only 30 euros. And although the restaurant is situated in Amsterdam North (only reachable with the ferry when you take the bike), it was crowded with quests. So if you want to visit, please give them a call at 020 636 51 70 and visit them at:
