| Supper Club Jonge Roelensteeg 21 (344 64 00). A trendy three-in-one; restaurant, bar and lounge.

For example, you could find yourself in downtown Naples with the laundry hanging from the ceiling, or you could be in a sophisticated Paris Salon. As they say: 'In the Supper Club you take of your shoes, lay down and you're at home!' As you might expect, this is a cuisine with a good share of humour. Apart from being the most popular days, Fridays and Saturdays are also the most spectacular with live music and DJ's. Open daily 8pm-close. Reservations necessary. |

With its slightly over the top Golden Age decor d'Vijff Vlieghen (the Five Flies) would be the ultimate tourist trap but the Dutch cuisine served is actually pretty good, albeit a little on the expensive side. The restaurant is made up of nine differently styled dining rooms of which the Rembrandt Room - with four original etchings made by the man himself - is everybody's favorite. You might want to make reservations. Open daily 6pm-11pm. |
