Open 9.30am-11pm.Kitchen 6pm-10pm.  [2 reviews, avg 8/10] Altmann Amsteldijk 25 (662 77 77).  Up
market spacious restaurant on the border of Amstel river, a bit out of city
center. Elegant styling with dark brown sofas, light walls and lots of candles.
The cooking by a former chef of the Dylan

for the VIP-deck (4 tables on a raised platform) if you're in the mood.

De Belhamel Brouwersgracht
60 (622 10 95). Elegant restaurant with a beautiful Art Nouveau interior. Most tables have a good view of the junction of the Herengracht and Brouwersgracht canals, one of the main attractions of this eatery.
Open daily 6pm-midnight. [18 reviews, avg 7/10] Café George Leidsegracht 84 (626 08 02).  See-and-be-seen in this hip city centre brasserie, where you can hobnob with the local celebs. George is long and narrow, with small tables packed closely and lots of mirrors, so you can get a good view of the neighbors. Typical brasserie-style menu, with Entrecote Béarnaise, Tarte Tatin and Crème Brûlée for example, and a good selection of wines. Staff can be a bit inattentive.
Open daily 11am-midnight.
[no reviews, be the first]Envy Prinsengracht 381 (344 64 07). 
Another hot & hip dining concept from the Supperclub crew. Envy has a minimalist black interior with a long kitchen and bar in the front, lined on one side with fridges showcasing wines, sausages and cheese. If you want more comfy seating opt for a table in the dining area at the back. Envy offers a varied menu of excellent but somewhat pricey tasters. A word of warning: the staff here can have a bit of an attitude.
Open lunch Fri-Sun noon-3pm, dinner daily 6pm-11pm.

Two separate areas, the Restaurant with a fixed 4-course menu, and the Trattoria with two pastas at moderate prices.
