Moeders, Amsterdam

At Moeder's the walls are covered with fotos of various women who are mothers. The china, glassware and cutlery are all mismatched, donated by customers, inherited from their own mother's kitchens to accompany the women on the wall. This goes back to the early days of the restaurant which was casually begun by housewives who would coordinate their own culinary skills and crockery, serving good homemade food eventually evolving into an official restaurant. I guarantee that this is one of the most charming establishments you will ever enter. The food is superb. Prix fixe, around 25 euro. I had carpaccio, deer steak, dutch apple pancakes and copious amounts of French red wine. Perhaps they hung my mother's foto. Go and see if you can find it and have the carpaccio. The best carpaccio, ever.

Favorite Dish: there is a candy dish on the bar. they will scold you when you take candy or they will put candy in your mouth or both.

‘Although there are lots of Mediterranean dishes on the menu, the ‘very nice waitresses’ serve grandma’s simmered chops and other Dutch specialties which ‘vary in quality.’ ‘A good place to have dinner with your mum.’ When you make a reservation tell them that it’s her birthday and she’ll have the ‘night of her life!’ The cookie jar which comes with the coffee ‘completes the homely atmosphere.’

Very nice restaurant for the whole family. Children are welcome. They can play in a room, where a large window let the parents keep an eye on them. Of course there are special meals for them (the children).
I'm sorry, but the website is only in Dutch.

The restaurant had a lovely atmosphere - even candles on the tables. The staff were very helpful as well. I also had some very nice company.

Favorite Dish: I had deep fried cheese, a lovely pasta dish and some wonderful Dutch beer. Why mention Dutch beer - well back home I do not normally like beer or larger but this tasted a lot better, I think the analogy in the difference in the taste is 'night and day'
