From the team behind the eetcafe Kikkie, this intimate dining room runs a four- or five-course chef's menu under Simon van Lith, with starring roles for langoustine, dry-aged fish, mutton and Anjou pigeon. Walls lined with wine, crisp linen and an open kitchen you watch from your table. Refined but unstuffy, tucked into the Negen Straatjes edge of the canal belt.
