Foodie Favourite

If you plan on visiting the recently opened NXT Museum, the Netherlands’ first museum dedicated to new media art, do make a reservation at the adjacent café-restaurant Metro.

Situated in a former film studio in industrial Noord, this new local foodie favourite is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner but you can also stop by for brilliant bar snacks, such as garlicky razor clams (€8.75) and sticky grilled aubergine garnished with lemony gremolata (€6.50).

Maritozzi (Roman cream-filled brioche buns, pictured) are trending in Amsterdam, and here they’re given a playfully savoury twist with creamed chicken liver and quince (€8.50). The signatures of chef Rients de Jong, formerly of the renowned and now defunct Restaurant As, and co-founder Xander Waller of the well-respected Restaurant Entrepot, are clearly present, with plenty of plant-led plates (€36.50 for 3 courses) and an interesting and varied wine list.
