If you’re in the mood for refined Italian cuisine in Amsterdam East, then the ground floor of the four-star Eden Amsterdam Manor Hotel is a good place to start. This huge space is simply decorated in grey and white tones and includes a bright parquet floor, a large black marble bar and lots of large windows. A blackboard with the day’s specials is suspended above the open-plan kitchen where the chefs prepare anything from simple pizzas and panini to such delicacies as wild goose fillet and veal rib-eye steaks, but the food on offer may be different when you visit as its menu changes with the seasons. In the summer Enoteca’s huge terrace occupies a large part of the hotel’s private front lawn.
