Our dish — the plate we'd order here first

Jonge Genever

The house's young genever, Dutch gin, poured to the brim so you have to bend down to the glass for the first sip. The old Amsterdam custom, and the drink to start with.

Wynand Fockink

Dutch · genever · distillery tasting room · Dam, Amsterdam

Pijlsteeg 31, 1012 HH Amsterdam

A distillery down a narrow alley behind the Dam, making genever, Dutch gin, and liqueurs in copper stills since the seventeenth century. In its old tasting room the first sip is still taken bowing to the glass.
