One of the restaurants my granddaughter, Michaela, and I enjoyed during our March ’08 visit to Amsterdam was Lieve Belgisch Restaurant (Herengracht 88, 1015 BS Amsterdam, Netherlands; phone [020] 624 96 35, www.restaurant lieve.nl).

A unique aspect of this restaurant is that diners have a choice as to whether they want to order individual meals or two different types of shared meals with multiple starters, main courses, etc., in either small or large portions. The options are explained to the diners in a lounge area prior to seating.

Our 3-course meals cost about €20 (near $31) each plus drinks.
