Fish restaurant Nevy is thé perfect spot to unwind, taste traditional or modern fish dishes, enjoy exquisite wines and above all the stunning view of the river IJ. Nevy concentrates on the taste of the fruits of the sea. In the broadest sense of the words: Nevy knows no limits. Nevy will take inspiration from fish dishes from all over the world. On Nevy's menu anything from a traditional French Bouillabaisse to a Moroccan fish tajine can appear together.  However, we also offer a varied section of meat, poultry and vegetarian dishes.

The restaurant consists of two areas that flow over into each other, contrasting each other, not just with respect to their colour, but also in the dishes that are served there. In one section the prepared fish dishes are served. In the other stands a large raw-bar around which the guests can sit and make their choice from the fish, crustaceans and shellfish on display. As well as this there is a separate area that can be used as a private dining room. In this section there are many wine refrigerators in which the most beautiful wines are displayed.

We had the menu

but added : Sashimi and King Crab .... :-)

 We had all kind of different dishes - rijsttafel - also one of the best ways to try this restaurant. The dishes are all very good, authentic tastes, not expensive and well worth a try.

I love it.
