Mussel & Gin, Amsterdam (West)
Mossel & Gin in the Westerpark is one of our Amsterdam top favorites. That is true, it will remain that way, mussel season or not. During the summer months the terrace is perfection and if the weather is bad, you can sit inside, downstairs or upstairs, more than fine.
On the Westergasterrein between the Westergasterras and Rainarai there is a fantastic building where, to many people's sorrow, so far no catering business lasted long. A shame, because the quiet sunny garden is one of the very best places on a summer day. So kudos to Mossel & Gin who moved into the building with their never-done-before concept, mussels and gin (cocktails), and immediately put it on the map. Also tip-top for those who are not mussel or gin fans: the menu includes delicious lobster/shrimp croquettes, oysters and half a lobster with fries, beers from the Amsterdam Brewboys and more than excellent wine. Last but not least: the service is always more than friendly, and believe us, we tested it many times. Mussel & Gin
