Puyk

This is my favourite restaurant in Amsterdam - and we've been to a lot. The food is excellent - up-market French-asian, with some interesting options, including green thai curry sorbet - the only thing I didn't like so much, but it's a personal taste issue, they do an amazing pecan pie. The staff are wonderful - they remembered us the second time we went, and it had been a few months in between. The owner, Ms Puyk, runs it, and is often there. She comes up with a lot of the menu from her travels and she's very friendly. Happily gave us the recipe for the most amazing sea food bisque. It's not cheap, but absolutely worth the price and wonderful for a special occasion. They have a Deli around the corner which has cheese and wines and wonderful unfiltered olive oils, and small versions of the menu which you can make at home, or pick up a picnic basket. Highly recommended.
