The delicious details

Chef Jonathan Sparber runs a solo kitchen at the corner of Vechtstraat and Trompenburgstraat, turning seasonal produce into small plates built from two to four components. His training spans French kitchens in Amsterdam (Toscanini, Vermeer, La Rive) and years spent cooking across Japan, Singapore, Hong Kong and Taiwan. The result is a stripped back style he calls complex simplicity.

The room seats around 30, with a food bar facing the open kitchen and a terrace on the street. Colourful chairs, candlelight and Bauhaus details set a casual, unhurried tone. Guests order incrementally, and Sparber serves both food and wine himself.

Bread is fermented slowly from water, flour and yeast. Kefir and kombucha are made in house, and the drinks list centres on natural, biodynamic and low intervention wines from producers such as Anders Frederik Steen and Christian Tschida.

Menu

What is on the table

The menu changes seasonally and by weather with no fixed card. Dishes lean on two to four ingredients, built through technique (slow oils, fermentations, meticulous prep) rather than heavy saucing. Vegetables feature prominently; meat and fish apply nose-to-tail principles. The kitchen works from whole, unprocessed ingredients, with bread, kefir and kombucha made in-house.

The menu changes with the seasons and weather; there is no fixed card. Dishes lean on two to four ingredients at most, with complexity built through technique: slow infused oils, extended fermentations and meticulous preparation rather than heavy saucing.

Vegetable plates take up a generous share of the offering, from white asparagus with camelina oil and aged Acquerello rice to spring peas with vanilla oil and crème cru. Meat and fish dishes apply nose to tail principles throughout: milk fed lamb braised in sheep milk with sweetbreads, liver and kidney; whole fish heads steamed with pickled vegetables.

The kitchen works with whole, unprocessed ingredients and prepares most elements from scratch. Bread is made in house with extended fermentation; kefir and kombucha are brewed on site. These fermentation practices, together with a reliance on whole ingredients and minimal processing, reflect a deliberate focus on nutritional quality in the cooking.

Health-intentional kitchen

The kitchen works from whole, unprocessed ingredients prepared from scratch. Bread is made from three ingredients with extended fermentation; kefir and kombucha are brewed in-house as deliberate fermentation practices. Dishes rely on two to four whole ingredients with minimal saucing and technique (slow infused oils, preservation, and fermentation) rather than processed additions. Even garlic chips are made through patient slow oil infusion rather than commercial frying.
