Decent Coronavirus version of a W breakfast: Restaurant Mr. Porter @ W Amsterdam (4. July 2020)
The breakfast options at the W Amsterdam are currently not really outstanding as due to the coronavirus, the breakfast buffet option is still not up and running but at least they are generous when you select the Marriott Bonvoy Titanium offer of a free breakfast and you get to order pretty much what you want […]
Good yet not exciting dinner: Brasserie & Loungebar DenK @ Landgoed Duin & Kruidberg (6. September 2018)
Somehow, we ended up in the same restaurant again. I do wonder a bit why but who am I to judge? As a little finger food, “crackers and spread” were served which lasted only a few minutes … … but luckily, “bread and butter” were served in no time. The starter was a “herbal salad, […]
Good breakfast selection with swift service: Brasserie & Loungebar DenK @ Landgoed Duin & Kruidberg (6. September 2018)
The breakfast selection at the Denk is quite decent as you get everything from sweets … … to fresh honey … … a selection of different breads … … warm dishes like scrambled egg, bacon and sausages … … as well as some fresh fruit and juices … … and a luscious selection of different […]
Good dinner in a nice atmosphere: Brasserie & Loungebar DenK @ Landgoed Duin & Kruidberg (5. September 2018)
I would say this evening was my highlight in the Landgoed Duin & Kruidberg as the menu was actually quite promising. As a starter they served “scallops with Prosciutto di Parma, salad, cucumber, pickled shallots, yogurt cream” which were fine. Of course, they don’t reach the quality level of the scallops I’ve had at O […]
Crappy atmosphere but okay dishes: Grand Café Valerius (4. September 2018)
A bit more than a year ago, I had already the ‘pleasure’ to eat at the Café Valerius and nothing much has changed. The food is still surprisingly good for the place. And the place is rather super-basic. I mean, nothing appealing really in terms of atmosphere and decoration. But at least the starters were […]
Lovely place and decent food: Seminar Rooms @ Landgoed Duin & Kruidberg (3. September 2018)
What you get at the Landgoed Duni & Kruidberg during a seminar is a very sound selection of dishes – but it becomes quite repetitive if you spend a couple of days there. The starter buffet is basically a selection of cheeses and cold cuts … … completed by a small selection of salad … […]
A lovely speakeasy with great drinks: Bar Door 74 (2. September 2018)
The Door 74 is a speakeasy, so one of these hidden bars you only find if you really know where they are. The Door 74 is exactly as the name says, a bar which is basically a regular door with the street number 74. The place is lovely in terms of interior design and the […]
Lovely terrace but a bit chilly in the evening: Bar hèt Terras (2. September 2018)
The Bar hèt Terras which probably means something like ‘the bar with a terrace’ is quite lovely as it is located right next to the canals of Amsterdam and you get to catch a glimpse of the sundown. The “Moscow Mule” (EUR 16.00) is decent but not outstanding. The service is friendly, Swiss, and efficient. […]
