Grachtengordel Restaurants
Perfect dinner at DenC. They offer set menus and a la carte items so we combined the two. They also offer special wines by the glass, allowing us to create our own pairings, which was great. The food and wine was amazing, the service and atmosphere wonderful. We had scallops and duck pate to start, followed by lamb and beef entrees. Apricot dessert with lavender ice cream. The red wine from Israel was unexpected and fabulous. We regret not getting the bottle! More
