Nebo, which means ‘sky’ in Croatian, is a discreet tribute to the 1-star Michelin restaurant of Dimitri de Koninck’s father, La Luna. In his own swish establishment in the hip Nieuw Zuid district, youthful Dimitri, demonstrates that he learned the ropes with the best. He enjoys pampering his guests with an entirely à la carte menu, flanked by enticing suggestions. Huge wine cabinets bear witness to the passion for oenology of Michelle, a master sommelier. Connoisseurs of first-class ingredients, such as Anjou pigeon and wild seabass, will be in culinary heaven. The chef faithfully upholds classical culinary traditions, which he pairs with a host of details and unconventional side dishes. Examples include langoustine a la plancha, subtly lacquered in yuzu kosho and flanked with delicately sweet finely-diced mango and jalapeno and then rounded off with a miso-flavoured cream of carrot. De Koninck surgically, generously and lovingly crafts each dish using premium produce. Everything is prepared from scratch and last minute in a bid to offer the diner a genuine global dining experience.
