Restaurant week has begun ... :-) Yes, it’s like New York's Restaurant Week (were it actually has begun). The week for foodies, or foodies to be. How good is that. The deal is this: € 25 for three courses at one of the participating restaurants in Amsterdam (Amsterdam area, Rotterdam and The Hague). For obvious reasons, you want to choose one of the ordinarily restaurants or ans the ones you haven't been to, on the list.

Restaurant Dorrius is on my list for a while since I haven't eaten here in ages, it's not even on my blog !!! If you want to taste the real Old Dutch culinary delights, you should pay a visit to restaurant Dorrius. You will get to know the delicious Dutch cuisine, which has made our restaurant world-famous since 1890, in a typically Old Dutch atmosphere. You can try all kind of dishes, varying from tasty hotchpotch to exclusive oysters from Zeeland, from the famous Dorrius cheese souffles to traditional real Dutch marrow fat peas, based on the original Dorrius recipe.

Starter :
Carpaccio (two kinds, cow and veal), truffle dressing, bacon strips and pine nuts

Main :
Hunting dish - Dorrius recipe, with mash, home made red cabbage, and home made apple-sauce

Dessert :
Almond parfait with almond cookie and raspberry sauce

It was a real treat like my memory remembered. The Carpaccio was not too cold, the meat was perfect, not to overdone with the truffle dressing, little bit few bacon bits. The salad in the middle had a perfect dressing, spicing up the salad and matching the carpaccio. The main dish was wonderful, a real 'grandmothers' recipe. As well as the side dishes. The dessert was great, home made parfait, delicious. A real treat ...!

Lot of staff (advantage to be a part of an hotel ...) very friendly and very informative.
