Franggo: At Franggo you get roasted chicken that’s prepared in a typical Portuguese way. They are cut and folded in open, placed in a special grill grid and roasted on charcoal. This way they stay juicy!
Hoed & Krelis: At Hoed & Krelis on the Ferdinand Bolstraat in the Pijp they work with local fresh products from the season and they like to work with meat and fish. As we already saw on the menu and pictures. We spotted oysters, veal steak, ceviche, cod, fondue, bavette steak. Yes, this may be the new pearl of the Pijp!
