At Sinne, everything is about concentrated attention: to taste, to details on the plate and to what is happening in the kitchen. The space is compact, with a small dining room and an open kitchen directly visible from the tables. You can see the cooks beating foam, baking off crispy elements and putting the last nuts or crisps on the plate.<\/h2>\n

Chef and owner Alexander Ioannou works from a French base, but opens up his dishes with Mediterranean and Asian influences. The cuisine plays emphatically with umami and contrasts: soft versus crispy, creamy next to something crunchy, often supported by airy foams and crunchy garnishes. That combination of classic technique and worldly influences is exactly what Sinne is known for within fine dining in De Pijp.<\/p>\n
