AMSTERDAM, June 8, 2017 ⏤ Located in the former house of 17th-century coppersmith Volkert Jansz, the restaurant that now bears his name offers a variety of elegant and delicious meals prepared by Executive Chef Cassidy Hallman. Keeping true to the 17th-century traditions of good taste, style, and conversation, this French international cuisine isn’t stuffy but inviting, approachable, and affordably priced.
Jansz. is situated within the five-star Hotel Pulitzer in the busy shopping area known as The Nine Streets. The ambiance here is clean, bright, and modern with wood floors and white marble tabletops. The open kitchen is meant to encourage friendly conversation while enjoying great food, something that Jansz, no doubt, would have approved of in his house.
The chef’s signature braised meatballs in marinara sauce ($12) is one of his most popular dishes; they come three to a terrine. Another is his tomato with burrata cheese ($16), a tasty and colorful pre-dinner starter.
For your entrée, you can choose between dishes such as roasted duck with cranberries ($32), vadouvan chicken ($26), or orecchiette pasta and truffles ($18). One of the house favorites, however, is their Morano spiced salmon atop couscous ($24). This is fork tender and has just enough spice to enhance the flavor without overpowering it.
Desserts change frequently, but if available, try the strawberry crème brûlée with strawberry sorbet ($7)—creamy, tangy, and delicious.
Open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, Jansz. is located just a short walk from the Anne Frank House, the most popular attraction in Amsterdam.
