Vega(n) and not so vegetarian(n) at a table? On to Mr. Nieges Amsterdam

You almost have to have been living under a rock to have missed that plant-based eating is 'happening'. Not a trend, certainly not, because although none of us here at Bart HQ lead a completely vegan lifestyle, we all do our best to eat more consciously where and when possible. Moreover, 'where and when possible' is becoming increasingly easier thanks to things such as Mr. Nieges Amsterdam.

Yes, that will surprise you! Mr. Nieges, that case with that – still! – unparalleled terrace on the Amsterdam IJ for the summer, and that cozy round stove for the winter. That place where you would love to go for the better Friday afternoon drinks, one of the many parties that are hosted there (so much fun! You should definitely do it once. From watching football to Amsterdam Gay Pride) and for playing games on Sunday (read mainly Sunday at Nieges moment).

But what you might not know is that the cuisine of Nieges (we may say Nieges) has really developed enormously lately. The menu has been reduced and there are only a few really good dishes on it. You can taste for yourself that this is better than a variety of choices.

We ate a surprisingly good burrata and enjoyed the fried poivrade artichoke with artichoke cream, spinach, breadcrumbs and coconut. And no, that was definitely not an artichoke cooked in fat, but a lovingly prepared vegetable with lots of flavor. Add to that the always pleasant and friendly service (what is it that young guys in the service always do very well for us?), and that top location, and you have a favorite. Nothing new, we told you that before, but the gentlemen and ladies of Mister Nieges simply deserved a compliment because of that menu (and because it is again an address where the Hungry Man can eat a steak and yours truly an artichoke. For example).
