Opium

Asian fusion as they define themselves.
Short menu but really well taken care of.
Shiitake soup was just great and also the Ramen was excellent. Great big portion. They fell short on the cheek cake which is definitely not something it fits the Asian fusion piece.
Great cocktails. My Japanese silk was very very tasty.
Over all the service is nice but it is indeed quite slow. Not that I matter as I am a very chatty person but some of my friends were a bit annoyed.
The ambience is cool with a very nice outside terrace for the non rainy day, an inner courtyard with fountain.
Tables are really cramped up… and they do try to fit too many people on the same one but over all it is good, just book for an extra person and then you get there with one less :)
it can be very very loud at moments.
Not to pricey. Definitely a go again.

For our anniversary we wanted something relaxed and cozy but with good food and wine. We chose Opium for its asian menu and secluded inner garden.
We ordered Asian Walk starter plate (€ 25,95) and a bottle of Marlborough Savignon Blanc (very crisp and mineral New Zealand white wine, approx. € 31). It was a warm day and we are not big eaters so we thought it would be enough. And it was. Food looked beautiful and smelled delicious and the waiters were polite (maybe a little slow though). We started with the bread and duo of dips, followed by the tasting plate. Beijing duck and Bisque were stunning, shrimp and coconut soup were good and Vitello Tonato and Salmon cakes were average. The only problem I had is that restaurant poses itself as fusion («restaurant where the Far East and West meet and several cultures join, inspired by all the beauty of Asia»), but west and east were not really incorporated together. You find a good asian food in Opium with sometimes out-​of-​place touches of european food. Read more on my blog
