Hello from Bremen, Germany. Why, you might ask? Because Mrs. C comes from the outskirts of this version of Bremen. All of her great-grandparents came from the region around here. We'll do some poking around into that over the next couple of days.
Last night we met and had a fabulous dinner with Stef and his wife, Marianne, of S.C Collections, our Amsterdam City Daily Photo sister blog. They took us to a pop-up restaurant, Baut & Dreesmann, in an out-of-business department store. The restaurant and, I assume the link, will be there for just a few more weeks. Very urban hip and the food was fabulous. Below we have a strip of mackerel with tiny radishes; duck, exotic mushrooms, bok choy and I don't know what; and a three-masted ship from heaven. The kitchen staff were very intense.
The toilets we up one floor. I'd bet a euro that they hired James Rosenquist to do the walls. The last picture has the Dutch word for a store's fitting rooms interposed with a big red L for loo, or something like that. Note the rolls of toilet paper under the sign.
Wonderful to meet up with fellow bloggers.
ReplyDeleteNice murals in the restaurant.
Thank you for this nice post, it gives a good impression of the special pop-up restaurant. We enjoyend the evening with you both very much!
ReplyDeleteA very unusual setting for a restaurant!
ReplyDeleteBieb have said it all. A very fine and pleasant evening. Your post showed surely the atmosphere of it. If I may make one little remark. My blog is called sccollections and not S.C connections. Hope you have enjoyed your stay in Amsterdam.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a very nice meet up. Never heard of a pop-up restaurant but it sure did look inviting.
ReplyDeleteA good time was had by all. Hope the trip continues to be a good one. (Very pretty food, but not much food content in it for meat and potatoes guys!!!)
ReplyDeleteHow fun to meet up with more bloggers and at such an interesting place!
ReplyDeleteWhat a interesting restaurant.
ReplyDeleteIt has nice to meet other bloggers, and I can see you have had very happy meeting.
Your travel photos are all so beautiful, thanks for sharing.
