My favourite restaurant! It has a bar and a restaurant, situated in an old technician school building. In the bar you can have drinks and you can choose their daily course.
The restaurant is fancy but in a very relaxed and easy going way. The food is vegetable focused and is a fixed surprise menu:
- 3 courses: 39,50
- 5 courses: 49,50
- 7 courses: 57,50

The parts that are close near the water (Het IJ) are beautiful to walk through. Especially the NDSM area gives of a very different (industrial) vibe than the rest of Amsterdam. Has an graffiti /street art museum which I definitely recommend visiting
