No prizes for guessing what this smart spot in the centre of Amsterdam specialises in; but what perhaps is a surprise, is how modern and relaxed Bar du Champagne is. There’s of course a huge selection of champagnes on offer (around 750 labels since you ask), including several by the glass, and a pitch perfect selection of small plates coming from the open kitchen. We loved the sardines on brioche, tomato salad, and ouef mayonaisse topped with caviar – all perfect accompaniments to a glass of fizz or two.
