Balthazar's Keuken
One weekly set menu in a former blacksmith's forge
Reviewed by Mes Prestiges Editorial Team Last reviewed June 2026
Chefs Karin Gaasterland and Alain Parry have served a single, three-course set menu that changes weekly since 1995, cooked at an open kitchen in a former blacksmith's workshop on the Elandsgracht. There is no choosing, you eat what they're excited about, and that confidence is the whole point. A cult Jordaan room with a fierce local following.
