De Brakke Grond, Amsterdam

De Brakke Grond and the show

 As there are lots of districts with very tiny roads, as soon as You leave ´´the main tourist streets,´´ the actual city is getting quiet really quickly. I have decided to not to eat in MC Donalds, Burger Kings (and so on).  I wanted something without tourists, and I have succeeded. The name of the restaurant is De Brakke Grond. You will find it at the corner of NES and Sint Pieters Halstg. Street. Even if it's still very close to the city center and across the street, there is a hotel, I've been sitting there just with dutch people and You won't even hear the ´´touristic noise´´.

The Customer service was simply awesome. Great, helpful and very friendly staff helped me to choose a realy great food from their menu and recomended a spectacular beer. I asked for a meat loaf with cherries, mayonesse with french fries and salad. If You won't try, You will not believe, how amazing it was. With a good beer after, it has been a fantastic experience. 

I have to say, that this place was not full at all. In this restaurant, there were just a couple of local people sitting and drinking beer. After a while, one of these dutch guys just stood up and in front of us did an amazing fire show for his friends. The rest of the guests was just staring at him, me included.
In that moment I was feeling sorry, that I could not take any pics or a video, but after all I'm happy that i didn't do it. It was the power of the moment. Life show. Something remarkable just for us. Just for a couple of lucky people, who have been on good place in a good time.  Considering, that it was just a coincidence, that I found this restaurant it was a great score and very good dot, after not very succssesful day.

By the way, you may see this guy doing the same fire show on youtube in a video with title ´´DVBBS & Borgeous - Tsunami. ´´
