Eating is not an art but a passion, is the chef's motto Slash culinary writer Haya Molcho. She loves nothing more than sharing her passion for her cuisine with a long table full of friends and family. This is how the eastern-Mediterranean restaurant NENI emerged. After Berlin and Hamburg, this also settled in Amsterdam last year, in the former Citroën garage on Stadionplein. An eye-catcher is the centrally located open kitchen, where the chefs prepare a variety of tasty mezze, freshly prepared vegetables, specialties from the charcoal grill and fish. - and prepare meat dishes from the brick oven. The menu is served family-style and invites you to share. The interior was designed by Concrete. The raw industrial characteristics of the monumental garage combined with warm Eastern-Mediterranean elements create a modern, warm atmosphere.
Not only is Tel Aviv itself an extremely popular destination for sun and city trips, the entire foodie Netherlands also has a soft spot for the cuisine of the 'Spring Hill'. Travelers who have recently visited this destination will imagine themselves back in the sunny coastal region in Restaurant Neni, full of noise, mezze and the smell of charred eggplant. So intense flavors with lots of herbs. Bonus: a lot is plant-based, so vegetarians are in the right place here.
Tip:
The shared dining concept works best when you come to eat with four people or more. Order the Balagan Menu and be surprised by the small dishes. If possible, try to reserve one of the round tables located in a cove. Coziness and cozyness guaranteed! Survived Dry January? Then try The Lemonman consisting of Bombay Sapphire Gin, lime, orgaade, elderflower, rosemary, and Mediterranean tonic. What they also do excellently here: baking bread. During dinner you will really have to restrain yourself from emptying the containers of hummus with the delicious bread.
