About

Restaurant Rijsel in Amsterdam is always packed, not just because of their excellent service, heavenly wine selection, and famous baked potatoes, but most of all because of their delicious Russian potato salad, which you can order as a starter. This lowly salad is everyone’s guilty pleasure. When buying it at a gas station many of us tend to obscure our container of Russian potato salad with a newspaper and a bottle of mineral water. But in this restaurant you can be up front about it.
