Stanislavski is the name of the restaurant that has been opened in the recently refurbished Stadsschouwburg of Amsterdam. Stanislavski is the name of the actor who made a big contribution to the acting trade, so it’s an apt name for a restaurant located in the city theater. The Stadsschouwburg has been beautifully refurbished and the […]

- Having a Spanish soup at De Soepwinkel -
Located on a side street of the Albert Cuyp market, De Soepwinkel is a place I often passed, but never went to. Some years ago there was a big boom of soup shops in Amsterdam. Now a few years later most of them have closed. Only Soep En Zo and De Soepwinkel are left I […]

- Lunch on an old railway bridge, Restaurant Open -
Due to the works in the Central Station area of Amsterdam for the Noord-Zuid line (the new metro line that’s being build in Amsterdam) and the reorganization of the area, there was suddenly a spare railway bridge. So some people had an original idea and used the bridge as a base for a new restaurant. […]

Where to get the best burgers in Amsterdam? Burger restaurant Burgermeester (= master of burgers or mayor, depending on how you interpret it ) claims it is at their restaurant. So we decided to investigate.

Good friends of mine recently moved to the far west of Amsterdam, close to Cafe/Restaurant Amsterdam and we decided to have a dinner somewhere close to their house. First we tried Restaurant Amsterdam, but it was full with a waiting list of half an hour, as we were told by a overheated waiter. I didn’t […]

- Having a coffee at Walem -
Located on the Keizersgracht between Leidseplein en Koningsplein, I have to admit Walem is not one of my favorite places. It reminds me a bit of Cafe de Jaren, but then 10 times worse. That said the rest of my review will be very objective
After having a juice and a muffin at the […]Popularity: 23% [?]
- Classy dinner at De Balie -
De Balie, located on Leidseplein, is more a cultural institute than a restaurant. Depending on the theme it offers movies, plays or discussion forums. But De Balie is also well know for its foyer area with bar. So far I had only been to De Balie for a drink or a coffee in the bar […]

- A broodje gezond at Cafe Noir -
Cafe Noir is located a bit out of the center at the Weesperplein. So it’s not a location that you just pass by. It is close to a part of the University of Amsterdam though and you can see that from the people who come here. Lots of students! It was a nice day but […]

- Asian fusion at Wagamama -
Wagamama located just off Leidseplein offers asian style food in a quick manner. The decoration of Wagamama is very basic, light and sleek. When you enter you have to wait to be seated by the host and then you realize that there are not separate tables. There are a few very long picnic style tables […]
