Fodor's Review:
Located within the Amstel Inter-Continental Hotel -- the lodging of choice for royalty, dignitaries, and rock stars -- La Rive is the city's unparalleled purveyor of refined French and Mediterranean cuisines. The setting is chic, with views over the river and formal service that is solicitous but not stuffy. If you don't mind emptying your wallet, settle in for one of the two equally succulent five-course choices on offer, priced at EUR 85 and EUR 97.50. Terrine of Jabugo ham with goose liver is a typical starter, and main courses reflect a marked truffle fetish (the turbot and truffle wrapped in potato spaghetti is a much-lauded dish). A meatier choice is the roasted rack of lamb enriched with pulverized rillettes of lamb shoulder, curry, and ginger. You'll need to book two weeks ahead to guarantee a table.
