Izakaya is located at the Sir Albert Hotel in the trendy De Pijp, this vibrant restaurant serves a reinvented Japanese Menu. Take your pick from sashimi, sushi, temaki or noodles, all beautifully presented and intended to please your eyes and taste buds in equal measure. The chef also offers a sophisticated and original set menu, worth a try.  Izakaya has a fabulous vibe, with a DJ and a stylish mob, and can get busy at night. Service could be a bit more attentive, but considering its popularity the staff is friendly and the food will certainly be worth the wait! We stayed at the hotel (see our review at Where to Stay) and so enjoyed it we went for seconds at Izakaya on another evening.
