“Distinctive. Contemporary. Ingredients from around the world blended with the finest produce from local farmers. Executive Chef Sidney Schutte will take you on a vibrant culinary journey.”   <\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

While I’ve been super fortunate to tick off some of the World’s 50 Best Restaurants list in 2017, I’ve been a bit neglectful on the Michelin side of the house.  With a less than memorable visit to Zass in April<\/a>, my appetite was more than ready for a memorable Michelin star experience.  Fortunately, Librije’s Zusje<\/a><\/strong> stepped up and ensure my belief in the iconic ratings system once again.  As a bit of a late addition to our trip, I only managed to secure a lunch booking — but in all honesty, this reservation worked out for the best, and I would highly recommend the daytime experience. <\/p>\n

Located in the stunning Waldorf Astoria Amsterdam, the venue is a private space, with views onto one of the largest private gardens in the city.  Seated by the window, we quickly bonded with the delightful restaurant manager, Mr. Sascha Speckmeier, about his upcoming trip to Asia (yes, he’s already going to Gaggan<\/a>, staying at the W<\/a>, and I recommended House on Sathorn<\/a> as well), who, along with the rest of the team, showed professional poise and delivery throughout the eight courses.<\/p>\n

Because Hubs is awesome and supportive, we also decided that we would try both the vegetarian and non-vegetarian tasting menus (spoiler alert: they are both fantastic).  From the moment the scented towels hit our hands to the impromptu visit to the kitchen to the departing gift of fresh honey (made from beehives at the hotel – !), this meal made up for all the average plates I’ve been having in the recent past.  Now, while I realize it can be a bit tedious to read superlative after superlative of how enjoyable an experience is, I’m going to try and break down what made things so special at this venue.<\/p>\n
