On Utrechtsestraat, Zoldering has quickly built a name that reaches beyond the city. The place combines top-notch cuisine with the looseness of a bar. You can walk in for a glass of chenin or end up with a multi-course meal; it never feels forced.
The cuisine follows the seasons, but without fashionable fuss. Think roasted vegetables with beurre blanc, perfectly cooked fish, and desserts that tempt rather than fill. The team cooks with craftsmanship that you taste immediately - right on temperature, right on flavor.
Yet it is the wine list that whispers, "stay a while." Sommelier Simo Zbiri has built a collection that is as adventurous as it is careful, with both classics and natural wines that color just outside the lines. The service talks with passion but without pomposity; knowledge with a smile.
"A wine bar that doesn't try to impress, but does it anyway - with dishes, glasses and conversation that make you slowly forget there's a city outside."
Attic is one of those places where the line between drinks and dinner disappears. Where conversations naturally deepen and the city falls silent for a moment. Everything is right here because nothing is exaggerated - it's Amsterdam in the best sense of the word.
