Just a quick post for tonight.
Amsterdam sure was beautiful at night……at least the Damrak area was.
For our last dinner; I was looking for something closer to traditional Dutch. In all my searches Restaurant Greetje came up, so I made reservations.
Mostly older (my age) folks having dinner. Service was great, the food not so much.
The best item was the smoked duck breast; which was still on the rather tough side for us, but had a very nice smoke flavor.
The Missus fish dish was pretty good, fish was nice and crisp if on the dry side. The barley risotto was outstanding…..both in texture, with just the right amount of toothsomeness.
The signature "Roasted Wild Boar" was dry and tough and we both felt under-seasoned.
The parsnip puree was dry and the jus had a bitterness to it we didn't enjoy.
Desserts were nice…..we took the cookies to go and the Missus had them with tea.
Not quite what we wanted for our last meal in Amsterdam, but you can't win 'em all. At least the folks here were really nice.
