Don’t let the odd ‘insect’ theme throw you. The Five Flies is actually an upmarket restaurant housed in an historic building on the Spuistraat. Although starters begin at around €20 a piece, you should bear in mind that it boasts four original Rembrandt etchings, not to mention a Golden Era interior of Delft tiles and gilt leather walls. Chef Jeroen Groot specialises in Dutch cuisine with a modern twist like suckling pig cutlets with vadouvan gravy or maybe sweetbread with stewed cheek of veal.
