Fifteen - Amsterdam

Fifteen - Pakhuis Amsterdam - Jollemanhof 9 - 1019 GW Amsterdam

Fifteen is not just a restaurant. It handles the education of the Amsterdam youth till respectable chefs, passion for cooking and a love for the best ingredients. Every year they select a group of boys and girls and prepare them for a new future. It's not comparable to any other eduction. They learn them also practical and social skills that they need to be able to work with a great restaurant. In Fifteen they are crazy about cooking, only fresh and within the season. This might be biological but also direct from the farmer. This all is possible thanks to the contribution of the FRIENDS of Fifteen and the inspiration of Jamie Oliver. But most of all the people that visit the restaurant.

The Tasting Menu for today,

To get you started, Fifteen's amazing Antipasti
A selection of slow cooked. marinated and roasted seasonal vegetables, olives, thinly slices cured italian meats and mozzarella.

Primi
Hand picked marinated coquille St. Jacques with saffran spaghettini, sea aster and worm coraille foam

Secondo
Quail filled with summer truffle on borlotti beans, chanterelles and chicory preserved in balsamic vinegar with salsa verde.

Dolci
Trifle of raspberries of the full soil of Limburg with rhubarb marmalade, semolina shortbread and a farmhouse curdle of yoghurt cented with rose syrup.


Upon signing the contract we decided to take them to Fifteen, in this case it was the excellent choice to do, gave them a copy of the latest book of Jamie Oliver as well. A good night, good food, good company towards a terrific year !
