De Plantage (cafe-restaurant), Amsterdam
Nestled within the historical heart of Amsterdam's 19th-century pleasure gardens, just beside the ARTIS Royal Zoo, you'll discover a remarkable venue – a former greenhouse oozing the charm of a bygone colonial era. It's an ideal spot to unwind with a leisurely afternoon drink in a relaxed and well-lit setting. When the weather is favorable, you can also enjoy outdoor seating with a view of spoonbills, storks, and flamingos in the nearby zoo.
As you step inside, you'll find a spacious bar area offering a fine selection of Dutch and Belgian draft beers. The restaurant area is equally roomy, and thanks to its high ceilings, it remains pleasantly quiet even when bustling with a mostly sophisticated local crowd.
The menu caters to all mealtime preferences. Don't miss the opportunity to savor the delectable fennel sausage ravioli served with a zesty lemon and herb sauce. There's a diverse range of options, from fresh oysters to shareable platters of succulent leg of lamb, ample seafood choices, and a variety of dishes to satisfy vegetarians and vegans. And when it comes to dessert, indulging in churros with rich chocolate is an absolute must!
