Nice audience but mediocre DJ: Jimmy Woo Club (15. October 2016)
According to one of my friends who used to go out in Amsterdam quite often, Jimmy Woo was the place to be. Well, turns out that this is maybe not so true anymore. It was already not really easy to get in as apparently it is still perceived as this fancy good club but after […]
Amazing industrial chic: Restaurant Hotel de Goudfazant (15. October 2016)
Sometimes you find real hidden gems in locations you would never go to if nobody pointed you in exactly that direction. The Hotel de Goudfazant is such a case! It is located in a former factory which still has its industrial chic and it is located on the other side of the channel which divides […]
Asian dishes with an unfriendly waiter: Restaurant Wagamama (15. October 2016)
It is quite some time ago since I have been at a Wagamama – and I kind of remember why I do not go there usually. However, given a good friend wanted to go there, we ended up in the Wagamama. Well, the problem was that the waiter who was receiving us was being an […]
When the peak is reached with the first course: Restaurant RIJKS (14. October 2016)
The RIJKS is located in the Rijksmuseum, respectively right next to it. It is recommended to book a table way in advance as the place is very crowded in the evening – and even if you book the table for 9pm (as we did), you would still end up waiting at the bar until your […]
Sad little restaurant with inattentive waiter: Restaurant Le Rendez-Vous (14. October 2016)
Admittedly, we were just looking for a place to have a drink which looked decent before going to RIJKS. And while the interior was actually absolutely decent, it was kind of a sad view as the place was completely empty and there were no other guests than us. Despite that, the service did not really […]
Great place for some beers: Café Orloff (14. October 2016)
While the idea was actually to go somewhere else, I ended up at the Café Orloff because the other place was closed – at 5pm. Well, turns out the Café Orloff is an afterwork hotspot somehow (or at least it seemed so). The audience which started joining around 6 to 7pm definitely looked afterworky. The […]
Surprisingly lovely gastro pub: Restaurant Myrabelle (14. October 2016)
Honestly speaking, the Myrabelle is not exactly the place I would usually walk into but given I was close to starvation, I decided to enter the next best thing which seemed decent. The Myrabelle is more like a gastro pub and not really a restaurant from its customers and layout. However, the dishes they serve […]
Lovely (actual (!)) coffee shop: CoffeeConcepts (14. October 2016)
The CoffeeConcepts was recommended to me as one of the best coffee places in Amsterdam by an almost local – and I can see why people like the place. It is small, artistic, a bit hipster-y, the crowd is divers, and the selection of natural juices is actually outstanding. I went for a rather basic […]
