The history
of the "bintje" !!!
This famous potato variety was created in the Netherlands
in 1905. It was cultivated for the first time by Mr. De Vries,
a teacher by profession; he had great interest in cross-fertilizing
potato varieties to create genuine and brand new ones. He had
9 children and each of his potatoes got the name of one of his
children. When all these possibilities were left, he named his
10th new variety after one of his son : Bintje! |

This is definitely an excellent
restaurant. Prices are moderated (10 to 20$) and the menus are
really raffinate...The
wine list is impressive. Monthly wine events are held there,
