The Dylan Amsterdam

Dinining

• The Bakery Popular gourmet restaurant offers Continental breakfast, and lunch and dinner menus fusing Asian, French, and Italian cuisines, such as Fillet of Veal baked with Shanso Pepper. Converted from an old bakery, intimate and exclusive dining room has original baking ovens and exposed brickwork. Open every day; closed Sunday evenings; reservations essential.
• Long Gallery A 20meter (66foot), brickfloored room with Orientalstyle console tables and wide blackandwhite scrollarmed sofas. Large windows overlook the garden, and guests order from a light menu of sandwiches, soups, and salads. Open daily, from midday to late evening.
• Chinese Room Asian minimalism meets avantgarde European design in this intimate lounge and bar. Bold and delicate, it is clad in black panels, punctuated with carved oak details and intricate framed prints of classical architecture. Flanked by slender fourfoothigh table lamps, guests recline on blackandwhite banquettes. Drinks are served daily, from early morning to late evening.

Guestrooms in the original 17th-century building have VCRs, and many have four-poster beds, exposed beams, and floor-to-ceiling drapes.
