Meat Favourite: The Uptown Meat Club in Amsterdam

The name says it all: at The Uptown Meat Club, they love meat. And so do we. It was high time for a visit. The end result of the evening: a full belly with the best beef in the Netherlands and good, complementary wines. 

The Uptown Meat Club has been located on Van Baerlestraat in Amsterdam for three years, but they recently introduced a new menu. A very clear one, which we like, with the focus on meat from the Mibrasa charcoal oven. They are still working on the interior; ultimately, they want it to become a cool restaurant that is just as robust as the meat.

Smoky and tender
To start, we had the charcuterie board with various types of meat and cheese. There is nothing better than being able to pick and taste a little of everything. The tenderloin with pepper sauce and veal entrecote that followed are both prepared in the Mibrasa charcoal oven. This gives the meat a smoky, tender flavour that we simply cannot get enough of.

Something for everyone
Besides entrecote and tenderloin, you can also order bavette and rib-eye from the charcoal oven. There are plenty of other dishes on the menu too, including surf & turf, tuna steak, tomahawk steak, lamb chops and yes, even a veggie burger.

Chef’s table
You can also reserve the chef’s table in the basement with a group. Here, you can let the chefs pamper you, but you can also join them in the kitchen for a cooking workshop. Plenty of reason, then, to pay this ultimate meat restaurant a visit very soon!
