When you’re not welcome as a guest: The Living Room, by Bodon @ Apollo Hotel (14. August 2021)

As lovely as the place was during the afternoon, as crappy it was shortly before midnight. I mean, we arrived 45 minutes before closing time but you could clearly see that we were not welcome at all. We were pretty much ignored. Like, completely ignored! Only once I walked up to the bar and demanded […]

The thing with brasseries – good food but low comfort: Restaurant Brasserie Lolita (14. August 2021)

The thing with brasseries – good food but low comfort: Restaurant Brasserie Lolita (14. August 2021)

I have my beef with Brassieries. Somehow I like them since they offer good food in a somewhat nice atmosphere and I must say in this case, the waiter was incredibly cool and caring although we were a not easy group of nine. In any case, the fact that they always have such little tables […]

Definitely interesting but not sure it’s a Michelin star: Restaurant Ron’s Gastrobar (13. August 2021)

Definitely interesting but not sure it’s a Michelin star: Restaurant Ron’s Gastrobar (13. August 2021)

Some things are not what you expect them to be. The Ron’s Gastrobar is somewhat of a hipster place in my perception – and it turns out it’s a hipster place with a Michelin star. While not entirely intuitive in terms of atmosphere, service, etc. – it becomes somewhat apparent over time. The table was […]

Decent experience with good service: The Living Room, by Bodon @ Apollo Hotel (13. August 2021)

The Living Room, by Bodon is a kind of a weird name for a bar but it turns out the bar is actually quite decent. It’s located in the Apollo Hotel and actually quite nice in terms of interior design. The waiter was the same as for lunch in The Harbour Club Amsterdam Zuid and […]

Atmospheric restaurant with good service: Restaurant The Harbour Club Amsterdam Zuid (13. August 2021)

The Harbour Club Amsterdam Zuid is a nice restaurant located within the premises of the Apollo Hotel. The lunch offering is decent but funny enough, the online menu is more comprehensive than the menu you get handed out when you sit down. I decided to go for the “beef tacos (skirt steak, shii-take, parmesan)” (EUR […]

Lovely view onto the harbour with typical Dutch dishes: Restaurant Loetje aan ‘t IJ (5. July 2020)

Lovely view onto the harbour with typical Dutch dishes: Restaurant Loetje aan ‘t IJ (5. July 2020)

Frankly, the Loetje aan ‘t IJ is not a place you randomly come across as a tourist when you’re in Amsterdam but with the help of some local guidance, it is a place you should definitely put on your agenda. I mean, the food is good, more about that in a second, but what is […]

An amazing speakeasy which is not that easy to find: World Class Room @ Pigs & Punch (4. July 2020)

An amazing speakeasy which is not that easy to find: World Class Room @ Pigs & Punch (4. July 2020)

I’m a big fan of speakeasies as they are always hidden treasures. The World Class Room is in a place where you would not expect to find a speakeasy (just as intended). When you enter the restaurant Pigs & Punch you have to go to the first floor where you can find a little glass […]

Amazing view all over Amsterdam in a revolving restaurant: Restaurant Moon (4. July 2020)

During times of COVID-19, you have to make sure to book your table in advance as there aren’t too many available tables (they can’t run the restaurant at full capacity yet). The menu (EUR 45.00) consists of three courses (starter, main, dessert) and once you’ve been seated and placed your order, you get some “bread […]
