Restaurant d'Vijff Vlieghen in Amsterdam, North Holland, is a testament of the life's work of Amsterdammer Nicolaas Kroese, who died in 1971.
In 1939, this art and antique dealer opened a public house in these same premises, offering his guests fine French and Hungarian wines, Amstel beer and his own inimitable conversation.
With the help of a local woman, known as Mother Hendrina, the bar soon became a popular eating-house too.
These days, every chair in Restaurant d'Vijff Vlieghen in Amsterdam, North Holland, carries a small copper plate engraved with the name of a famous guest who once visited the restaurant.
The imprint Nicolaas Kroese made on the restaurant he created is still very much in evidence today in its richly decorated interior.
