So, strolling the streets of Amsterdam, as usual, I keep my eyes peeled for the vegetarian restaurants. I am not a vegetarian but I am careful and picky with the meat I eat and love to be inspired by vegetarian restaurants and ideas.
I spotted a restaurant, The Golden Temple, which was being decorated with fresh hand painting of swirls and Buddhist inspiration and an amazing decor through the window. The menu looked awesome and the vibe easily appreciated.
After a long sunny boat ride through the canals, I arranged a dinner for 3. We were given a private table on a patio and were instantly drooling over the menu. 2 share platters and a pizza.
Although the food was good, the idea of a share platter was quickly questioned by only receiving one bread per platter and after having to order more from a waiter who didn't get it, the value was quickly reduced.
What if: they simply provided a basket of pitas? So simple. So easy. Or let us know that if we wanted more, we just had to ask. Price of pitas - maybe 2 euros, max. Price of happy and repeat customers, priceless.
Yes the food was good, the vibe was cool. Would I go back? For the price of leaving hungry, I'm not too sure.
Hungry for more,
Pippa
