Looking for a nice restaurant while staying at La Festa? Try Balthazar's Kitchen.

Excellent Mediterranean cooking with a touch of the Orient in this popular and lively place just around the corner of La Festa. The small and narrow Balthazar's is dominated by its open kitchen (keuken), which contributes to the bustling atmosphere. No carte, just one fixed three-course menu. Reservations recommended.
Open Wed-Sat 6pm-midnight. Elandsgracht 108.
