In the center of Amsterdam there is this beautiful Castle looking building called De Wagg. It was built in 1488 and the english translation means Weigh House. I thought for sure it must be a museum but instead was surprised to find this wonderful candlelit restaurant. We lunched on potato soup, mussels and beer and some of the best bread I have ever had. In summer you can dine outside but I would recommend eating inside to experience the ambiance of this wonderful building and ancient furniture.
