OLD CENTER / RED LIGHT DISTRICT.
Although folks debate whether the restaurant is named for the five canal houses it occupies or for a family of brothers named Flie, it's certain that the only insects you'll come across are those decorating the signage. In fact, this celebrated restaurant is one of the city's favorites and is ideal for both romantic dinners and business occasions. It has also seen its share of celebrities over the decades, including numerous Hollywood figures. The candlelit venue features dark woods, regional antiques, and even Rembrandt etchings. The menu shakes up traditional Dutch cuisine, offering roast duck breast, veal sirloin, lamb, suckling pig, grilled fish, and a host of dishes that capitalize on fresh, local ingredients. Seasonal, chef's, and vegetarian menus are available as well.

The food was okay, if overpriced for quality and Amsterdam standards. The service polite but slow. The setting interesting but stuffy. After the food was gone for our plates we really wanted to leave the restaurant. Worst of all was the clientèle. Not a single local, but instead full of somewhat annoying Americans like the ones you see in a Woody Allen film set in Europe. I wouldn't be going back, I wouldn't even recommend going there if you're the kind of visitor that doesn't like to be described as "tourist"...

Poor. Service pitifully slow, sullen and at times downright rude. Only gets 2 stars for lovely setting and good main course, but starters were bland and serving our party melting ice cream deserts at different times not helpful. Took more than 1 hour to even take our initial order. Not recommended
