Restaurant Stork

Crime: Started with Stork fish soup with toast and delicious chilli mayonnaise, continued with lobster on a bed of pasta and a fabulous Mille-feuille served with strawberries and strawberry sorbet.
Scene: Stork, Gedempt Hamerkanaal t.o. 96, Amsterdam North
Investigation: The used-to-be-bored IJ is making place for nice apartments, incubators, restaurants and event locations. Stork is one of the restaurants at De Overkant with a great view. A place not for the lazy people under the ‘IJ belt’. Reachable by car, by bike and ferry.
