Le Garage on Ruysdaelstraat (+31 20 679 7176) is a cross between a Paris brasserie, with mirrors and red banquettes, and an Italian trattoria, with culinary touches from Asia, too.

It serves Cantonese and Peking cuisine upstairs, with four cocktail bars downstairs; the basement has private rooms with butlers. Look out for the ostrich leather on the walls and ceiling paintings.
