Fodor's Review:

Whether for romance or the pure enjoyment of fine contemporary dining, Breitner gets high marks. With a formal interior of rich red carpeting and muted pastel colors, and a view across the Amstel River that takes in both the Muziektheater-Stadhuis (Music Theater-City Hall complex) and the grand Carre Theater, this spot serves French-inspired dishes, many of which pack a flavorful punch. The seasonal menu may include such starters as baked quail with goose liver and bacon, and entrées such as skate with Indonesian-style vegetables or smoked rib of beef with a sauce of whole-grain mustard and marinated vegetables. Foie gras, fabulous desserts, and an innovative wine list allow you to step into the realm of pure decadence. As to be expected, the service is flawless and the patrons do their part to reflect Breitner's high standards by dressing smartly.
