About this spot
A Beautiful Mess delivers a vibrant North African and Middle Eastern feast where you can expect the rich, slow-cooked flavors of lamb tagine or the smoky depth of harira to define your meal. The Noord neighborhood setting offers a relaxed vibe perfect for sipping mint tea while watching the sunset over the IJ river.
💡 Tips before you go
- Order the lamb tagine early as it is often cooked to order and takes time to simmer properly.
- Ask for extra harira soup on the side to accompany your bread or couscous if you are hungry.
- Save room for dessert, as their sweet pastries like baklava are best enjoyed fresh from the oven.
