"The White Room is considered the oldest operating restaurant in Amsterdam, having opened in 1885 inside the Grand Hotel Krasnapolsky on Dam Square. Today, renowned chef Jacob Jan Boerma makes surprising use of fruit flavors and aromatic spices in the beautifully-presented dishes that comprise the five-, seven-, and nine-course menus. Think North Sea Crab with beetroot, watermelon, and buttermilk or venison with pumpkin, Delcorf apple, and chicory." - Meredith Bethune
