Fodor's Expert Review Levant

Not far from the Rijksmuseum but refreshingly removed from the crowds, this Mediterranean restaurant specializes in mezes like hummus, tzatziki, baba ghanoush, and more. A short but appealing list of grilled meats, fish, and a vegetarian dish of the day rounds out the menu. There's a pleasant canalside terrace, from which, on your way out, you can pay your respects to the bustling and friendly kitchen staff.
