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.
