Only on the best summer days do you find yourself wandering into a beautiful Art Deco restaurant around lunchtime, in front of some of those scenic canals that Amsterdam is known for, in this case, Brouwersgracht (brewer’s canal) and the Herengracht (gentlemen’s canal), having a tasty lunch. Well, that sounds well and good, who cares? Where are the sandwiches?! Here, at Restaraunt De Belhamel (Brouwersgracht 60, 1013 GX Amsteradm), where they are delicious.
This morsel is gravlax with capers, crème fraiche and a greens on a ciabatta roll (5.5 Euros). It was delicious. While I could do without the annoying inclusion of those frizzy greens on top, the capers, creme fraiche and gravlox created a beautiful, smooth symphony of happy. The gravlox was tender and fresh, the creme fraiche was smooth and wasn’t heavy at all. All told, it was one ‘wich I’d love to repeat for lunch, oh, about 6 days a week.
And for 5.50 Euros? Hell, for 5.50 Euros, this is a ‘wich that everyone can appreciate 6 days a week!
