Restaurant Amarone is situated on the Meent, a bustling shopping street in the centre of Rotterdam. Amarone is light
and open with a pleasant atmosphere. Mirrors and large windows add a sense of space to the place. The open kitchen, the fireplace, the luxury armchairs and long benches create a feeling of snugness and warmth. A young service team ensures that guests immediately feel at home. An impressive feature of the restaurant is the ?walk-in? temperature-controlled wine cabinet with over 500 kinds of wines, covering the entire rear wall. The wine list, wich is awarded with the Wine Spectator Award of Exellence, stands out not only for the excellent choice but also
for the friendly prices that Amarone charges for its house wines.
Amarone?s cuisine is French-Mediterranean with the emphasis
on French cuisine. Chef Gert Blom has a light style of cooking.
His background in classical cuisine and his light style of cooking are best revealed in his ?signatures" such as ?thinly sliced scallops with hazelnut, truffle and pecorino foam? or the "Pata Negra jambon with fried mackerel, polenta and vinaigrette of ginger and curry".O2 Type : Restaurants
