Perfect if you have a sweet tooth: Mama Pancake (2. September 2018)
When you suddenly get an urge for something sweet while you walk through the streets of Amsterdam, Mama Pancake is the place to go as you find everything from waffles, crepes to “Dutch mini pancakes (10 pieces)” (EUR 5.50) and of course each topping like banana or strawberries costs extra. But admittedly, the mini pancakes […]
Nonexistent service but good snacks: Café Wester (2. September 2018)
If you are done sightseeing for the day and have been close to the Anne Frank house, I can definitely recommend you to do a quick stop at the Café Wester. The tables are all not really stable as they are located kind of on a hill but despite the moving setup, the place offers […]
Lovely location with interesting drinks: Tunes Bar (1. September 2018)
I found the ‘Tunes Bar’ randomly on Google Maps and it was ranked quite high so I decided to give it a shot. The “Shisha Sense (Zacapa 23y rum, cherry herring, fig puree, fresh lemon juice, homemade dates syrup, shisha cherry smoke)” (EUR 21.50) is a rather intense experience. And surprisingly enough, it actually kind […]
Lovely place but unsatisfactory kitchen offering: Brasserie Keyzer (1. September 2018)
The Brasserie Keyzer looked very promising – nice little Brasserie style restaurant, lovely tablecloth, friendly service, and a menu which was really offering potential. However, there was one little issue. After having spent some time looking at the menu and picking something tasty, I tried to place the order with the waiter which let me […]
Perfect brunch and breakfast place on three floors: Restaurant CT coffee & coconuts (13. August 2017)
While I was a bit skeptical at first to visit a place for brunch which is called coffee & coconuts, it turned out to be a great choice. Given the night before (context: bachelorette party) was a bit rough, I felt like having quite something and went for the “Kogi BBQ Taco (short rib, salsa […]
Amazing view all over the city of Amsterdam: Restaurant Madam @ A’DAM Tower (12. August 2017)
Independently of the fact if you decide to dine at the Restaurant Madam, you should definitely pay the A’DAM Tower a visit as the view from above onto the city of Amsterdam is absolutely amazing and definitely worth seeing. Once you’re seated – and it is absolutely recommendable to book a table in advance (especially […]
Not worth visiting for the food but for the atmosphere: Far Out Beach Club (12. August 2017)
As the name already suggests, the “Far Out Beach Club” is quite far out from Amsterdam. Or more specifically, about an 80 EUR ride from the city centre. And while I was a bit annoyed at first, I must admit that it was actually quite a pleasant place to visit. The restaurant was almost empty […]
A patient Italian who can work on friendliness: Restaurant La Maschera del Lillo Tatini (11. August 2017)
When you’re late you start with the main course and skip the starters. The “stewed beef, cooked for 4 hours into Sangiovese red wine, black pepper, rosemary, and sage with side of potatoes tart” did not look too appealing when served but the meat was tender, smooth and rich in flavour. The potato tart on […]
