18twintig is Nederlands for 1820, but this smart Amsterdam restaurant’s design is now now now. A perfect place to restore your appetite and your fine-design-quotient after a visit to the Heineken Brewery, 18twintig is one hip bar, lounge and restaurant. The sensuously undulating banquettes in the bar, the subtle periwinkle and iris seating against the chocolate tiles and fair wood, the decadent chandeliers all add up to one inviting spot to dine, drink and enjoy. The changing menu is Mediterranean, inventive and confident, with dishes like starter of oxtail consommé with a veal cheek raviolo, main course of fried pike perch with ceps, light puree of anchovy and courgette tart, and dessert of red wine and crème de cassis parfait with blueberries. The cheese trolley is rather special here. And the Meeting 18twintig service will help you organise your presentation or gathering with sound system, flipcharts, projectors etc during the day followed by very good private dining for the evening.
