Hung with replicas of Old Masters, the 'Silver Mirror' is an exceedingly elegant space inside a 1614-built, step-gabled red-brick townhouse. Exquisite dishes served on handcrafted porcelain might include lobster stuffed with North Sea crab with vintage Gouda foam or Texel lamb crown with asparagus mousse and cinnamon jus (set menus only on weekends). Book ahead and dress for the occasion.
During WWII, several Jewish families were hidden under the 17th-century roof unbeknown to Nazi troops as they drank and sang at the café (pub) downstairs; the café's owner, a carpenter, built a false upper ceiling that allowed them to remain undiscovered even when the building was raided, and the families escaped after the war.
