SAAM Restaurant: South Africa on the Amstel, Amsterdam
Finally opens SAAM restaurant opens its doors in Amsterdam. SAAM? Yes, SAAM. That's an abbreviation that stands for South Africa-AMstel, get it? South Africa meets Amsterdam and leave it at that just what the doctor ordered are this winter. At SAAM you experience South Africa on the Amstel. Sounds tasty? We think so too. The South African twist is reflected in the menu and in those oh-so-tasty South African wines. Co-owner Margot Janse, who lives in the wonderful wine village of Franschoek, whispers her inspiration for the menu from there. And believe us, you want this menu.
The menu at SAAM consists of dishes that are a fusion of Dutch and South African cuisine. The ingredients are pure and honest (we love them!) and the wine list also contains the most beautiful South African and European wines. The kitchen is led by a number of top chefs from numerous star restaurants. And the Spys card contains, for example, a North Sea crab with suurvygie, a South African 'sour fig' that you will then also receive on your table to see what it looks like. Yes, everything has been thought out down to the last detail at SAAM. And no, not six knives and forks at the table. Just a wooden box from which you can easily take it out. No fuss, but class.
The restaurant is wonderfully located, including a lounge terrace and mooring (very nice in the spring). Are you with a group and would you like to catch up with the top chefs? We understand, then choose the chef's table where you can sit with 8 people. And upstairs you can also meet in the enormous wine bar. The atmosphere? Casual with personal attention and hospitality. This is how you make a reservation! The reservation system opens every first day of the month for reservations for the following month. The restaurant is open from Tuesday to Saturday from 18.00:22.00 PM to XNUMX:XNUMX PM. The goal is to open the doors earlier later in the year (did someone say lunch on the Amstel?).
