One of the charming restaurants in Amsterdam, Blauw aan de wal is set in the midst of a bustling Red Light District. There is an alley that leads patrons to the tiny square where Blauw aan de Wal (Blue on the Quay) is hidden. It is a modern minimalist restaurant with a courtyard that was once part of a monastery. The fare is Mediterranean inspired and the service renowned for its excellence. Make reservations early and the restaurant is closed on sundays. The restaurant offers only dinner.
