26. October 2014: Restaurant Mazzo
The Restaurant Mazzo belongs to the good ranked restaurants in Amsterdam but when I did a bit more in-depth research the morning before having lunch there, I was already questining my choice going to an Italian restaurant while being in Amsterdam. However, I decided to still go. Frankly, not the best idea. I had ordered […]
26. October 2014: Restaurant Keizersgracht 238 @ Hotel Pulitzer Amsterdam
The breakfast at the Restaurant Keizersgracht 238 at the Hotel Pulitzer is a good, sound but regular breakfast. They offer everything from fresh fruit to various breads, cold cuts, cheese, joghurt, cereals, sausages, pancakes, eggs and many more things. However, somehow there is nothing really special or typical local (or I did not find it). […]
25. October 2014: Supperclub Amsterdam
Once more I consulted the book I really got to love – “Where Chefs Eat“. And the Supperclub was definitely the most recommended place in Amsterdam so I decided to book it well in advance. The booking process is rather easy – but the confirmation process is rather annoying. 24 hours before the booking you […]
7. August 2011: Restaurant Bubbles Seafood & Wines
The assorted Seafoodplate (EUR 15.95) provides a nice selection of shrimp, smoked salmon with toasted, graved salmon and smoked trout. The salmon is not that special, the shrimp is okay, the smoked trout is good too. But the portion you get is pretty small, so somehow the price performance ratio is not so persuasive. A […]
7. August 2011: Het Pannekoekenhuisje
Again I was tought that there is another – this time sweet – typical Dutch dish called Poffertjes. Basically, it’s little pancakes with a lot of sugar powder and some kind of “topping”. I went for the Poffertjes “paysan boys” (which were raysins in booze). 20 pieces cost EUR 11.00. They look cute and they […]
7. August 2011: Restaurant Simonis aan Zee
Although my host does not like fish she recommended me to try this – apparently – typical Dutch dish called “herring” (with something, but I got issues with remembering the Dutch words). In any case, it is pretty much smoked herring with onions – and after you’re done, you have a pickle so the taste […]
6. August 2011: Gauchos Grill Restaurant
Eating Dutch dishes is one thing – and not necessarily a bad thing, but to be frank, in my personal opinion, Argentinian food is just somewhat more appealing – and the Gauchos Grill Restaurant absolutely confirmed my opinion. The meat is just A DREAM! But more about that later. To have some bread before starting […]
6. August 2011: Grandcafé Restaurant Biblio
According to my local guide “bitterballe” is a pretty typical Dutch dish – and I was wondering what bitterballe are – although it does not sound appealing to have something like “bitter balls”, but well, one wants to try new things in life. In any case, we ended up having a portion of bitterballe (8 […]
