Negen Straatjes
Envy
Amsterdam, Netherlands
Rated a Bib Gourmand (good value) restaurant by the Michelin Red Guide, Envy is a concept restaurant focused on small, creative dishes that are shared at the table. The stark interior includes a long row of elevated tables, lit by globed lamps hung from the ceiling, where diners have ample views of the open kitchen and a wall of see-through refrigerators. The menu at this canal-side restaurant, among Amsterdam's Nine Little Streets, boasts a section dedicated to cheese and charcuteries, while dishes like baked duck with hazelnut and steak tartare with quail eggs exemplify the kitchen’s high-style approach.
Insider Tip:
En route to Envy stop by Vyne, a wine bar owned by the same firm and located just doors away, which serves an expansive selection of wines by the glass, as well as a few spirits like whiskey.
