I Envy You (delicacies - Amsterdam)

Prinsengracht 381 / 1016 HL Amsterdam / tel +31 (0) 20 3446407

I know, I know ... I've been here before, but hey ... it's so good. Envy at the Prinsengracht almost in the heart of "my town". And we started of with a nice wine by Robert ... and even it was only Tuesday it was packed. For those who don't know where I'm talking about .. it's Bubbles and Wines. He renewed the menu and got some pretty good extra wines by the bottle on the menu. It makes you feel so good ... tried his new white ones by the glass. The ideal place to start your evening.

At ENVY of course heading for the chef's menu and order the entire menu ... what a feast again it was. Staff is really terrific, food is superb. What else can I say ... packed again, in between the spanish guys and the German girls the last two seats available ... What did we had this Tuesday ...

for starters 3 different kinds of deli meats.
(Bacon marbled with salt , Dried Wild Boar, Smoked tenderloin of pork)

4 cold dishes
Fillet Americain from veal / Tiger prawns / Surimi of Tuna / Confit de Canard with foie de canard

4 warm dishes
Hellibut, "Packed" coquille on a mash with truffle ..., Lamsracks and Sweetbread on a truffle risotto why can I eat so little .... mjammie

4 cheeses
Tete de Moine / Roquefort and the third one .... I don't know

4 desserts
Crème Brulée / Chocolate Mousse / "Hangop" - perfect !!! and a rising sun ...

coffee
Segafredo Espresso

Entering the restaurant after the kitchen on your right there are high tables which you do not need to reserve, even can't reserve. It's for the customer who drops in - great idea! Look at the front door glass coolers .... And enetering the restaurant on your right there is the kitchen.

A look at the kitchen taken from the restaurant looking at the entrance. As well the tables on the right - you can reserve, or the high tables on the left. Look at the narrow restaurant as well. It's very cosy that way !
