Belgica also offers no table service, […]

In the last years there has been an explosion of Wok places in Amsterdam. Places where you pick the fresh ingredients for your wok dish and then the stuff is cooked in a wok right in front of you. The one with the most locations is probably Wok to Walk. Their locations are the most […]

This time we went for a dinner at L’entrecote et les dames. This is a restaurant with a special formula. They don’t have a a-la-carte menu, but a fixed menu for € 21,50, which includes, surprise, surprise, entrecote! For your 21,50 you get a green salad as a starter. It’s a very simple salad with […]

I think thursday and saturday evenings are the try-out evenings for people who want to work there, because I […]

To end the birthday lunch we decided to go to Grand Hotel Krasnapolsky and have a coffee there in the little lobby cafe that looks out over Dam square. It being a 5 star hotel everything is rather posh, but that didn’t deter us As you can expect for a 5 stars hotel service […]

After getting detoxed with wheat grass, we went for a birthday lunch at Oriental City. Oriental City is a huge chinese restaurant behind Dam square with a special dim sum card for lunch. It’s on a corner of one of the busy streets of Amsterdam, so if you have a table by the window, you […]

Today while waiting for a train, we decided to go grab a quick bite at the Burger King. Everything else was closed at the station (and that is half past eight in the evening in Amsterdam!). We decided to go healthy and take the chickenwraps. There was nothing wrong with the wraps, they were quite […]

“Do you know how Cafe de Jaren got it’s name?”
“Because you have to wait years to get some service”
A visit to Cafe de Jaren, it’s always a surprise how that will turn out, because either the service can be horrible or it can be okay. But they always seem to suffer from the one-order-is-enough syndrom. […]

This blog starts with the typical weather of Holland. Rain! As I was biking to Leidseplein, the heavens opened up on me and poured out all they had. So by the time I reached my destination, I was completely wet. Of course my water-proofish coat did help either. Not that it wasn’t water-proofish, more that […]
