Restaurant d'Vijff Vlieghen in Amsterdam, North Holland, Netherlands, has nine interconnected dining rooms, each with its own distinctive style. They all recreate the rich atmosphere of the Golden Age.
The Rembrandt Room is particularly remarkable for its four original etchings made by the great Dutch master. In the Knights' Hall, displays of helmets and armour recall the Eighty Years War with Spain.
The Glass Room contains a collection of rare handmade glassware dating from the 17th century, whilst the 18th century panelling of the Bridal Room creates an intimate atmosphere.
Restaurant d'Vijff Vlieghen can accommodate 300 guests.
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.
