The Forge is part of the adjoining Brooklyn boutique hotel on the NDSM wharf, which has become a haven for artists, hipsters and creative types in Amsterdam. The small, yet refined menu offers a little something for everyone from what the owners refer to as ‘timeless’ dishes like gourmet burgers, club sandwiches and past pesto to vegetarian cuisine, seafood or meat like lamb and veal cooked on a hot lava rock. Two and three-course chef’s specials are also available. The interior offers dark autumnal tones and a modern fireplace, but if the weather’s good you can sit outside on the terrace.
