Wednesday I had dinner at Langendijk, just a short stroll down the canal from here, at the foot of a windmill (yes really).  I had “Tournedos with rosti, baby spinach, wild mushrooms & Madeira-tarragon sauce.”  The “Tournedos” was a single huge blob of beef, but quite good.  Slightly rarer than I might have liked, mostly due to how thick it was in parts.  But the whole meal was quite something.  The mushrooms, mostly hen of the woods and similar, were almost crispy from being broiled in butter; the “rosti” was like a savory potato pancake.  Yum!  I highly recommend this place.
