Slap up Birthday Meal

Posh nosh at the Oceaan Restaurant, Amsterdam.

Way back in April I took the recommendation of a friend who raves about this place. A little off the beaten track and tucked away within a floating 1960's estate. It really was impressive!

Great atmosphere, the staff were more than accommodating, even the chefs were quick to respond to all comments.

The kitchen was open plan making it easy to see your food being prepared. I think the fishes are a speciality. Any fish dish, they all looked good. The portions were generous and the price reasonable for the quality.

Definitely respectable enough place to take relatives & posh friends. It got rave reviews in various guides. I only found this out recently, it has no bearing on my impression of the restaurant. But you might be interested.
