Testamatta Restaurant and Wine Bar
Testamatta is the Italian word for "crazy" and the name of a renowned winery in Tuscany. Just like the high-quality wine list, the kitchen uses only the finest ingredients. Don't expect standard dishes here, but rather (the menu changes regularly, depending on the season) a lasagna rollata; homemade pasta with beef ragu, a miso lemon sauce, and 24-month-old Parmigiano cheese.

L'Entrecôte et les Dames
L’Entrecôte et les Dames embraces the concept of a formula restaurant, as the French call it. Within an attractively decorated French brasserie, the entrecôte takes center stage, always lightly cooked 'bleu' from Maas-Rhein-IJssel cattle. This is served with fries and a refreshing salad. If you are still hungry afterwards, you will be served another portion. Prefer not to eat meat? As an alternative, they serve sole fried in butter with ravigotte sauce. Same formula and same price as the entrecôte menu.

Esh Pitabar
Esh Pitabar is the new chapter for brothers Ilan and Joël Benamara, who previously ran Café Martinot since 2015 until the building was forced to close in 2022 due to foundation repairs. After a successful crowdfunding campaign, they decided to rebuild their business, this time with more space for their Israeli roots and inspiration from Tel Aviv. Chef Ilan Benamara himself is in the kitchen and enforces a simple but clear rule: everything is homemade, from the hummus to the pita bread. The menu features street food such as pita falafel, hummus with warm chickpeas, and fresh pizzas, just like you would eat them in Israel.

Tamari Ya
Tamari Ya was founded by Imoto Yoshihisa and Yazawa Yuji, two Japanese entrepreneurs who started a farm-stay retreat in their village near Hiroshima and opened their first donut shop there in 2023 to revitalize their community. Out of their love for rice, they developed the komeko donut, made from rice flour from their own region and therefore naturally gluten-free. In Amsterdam, the donuts are handmade daily and fried in rice oil, without preservatives or colorants. The texture is different from what you are used to: less fluffy, more chewy, with varieties such as old fashioned or yeast-raised in flavors such as matcha, black sesame, and pistachio. The quiet, wood-dominated shop on Overtoom feels like a piece of the Japanese countryside in the city, where attention to food and the environment is central.
