First of all, the Golden Pheasant Hotel isn't actually a hotel, but rather a restaurant named after a line of Jacques Brel’s chanson Les Bourgeois. Secondly, it's not an ordinary eatery, but an enormous top-quality restaurant located in a former garage. The interior hasn’t changed much since those days, so you should prepare yourself for the peculiar experience of eating in an industrial setting. Although the menu can be a bit hard to decipher and it usually takes a while before the friendly staff serves your meal, the food is simply superb. The hemelse modder (heavenly mud) dessert in particular is worth the extra half hour you'll need to spend on the treadmill. Finding the restaurant isn't easy but just ignore the parking barrier and keep walking until you get there.
