- Having lunch at Stanislavski in the Stadsschouwburg -
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 […]

- Old style bagels at Royal Bagels and Muffins -
The plan today was to go to Peruvian restaurant Mashua. On their website they say they are open for lunch and they also have a lunch menu on it. But when my friend and me approached Mashua, the place looked suspiciously dark. And when we got closer, we saw that it was dark, nobody was […]

- 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% [?]
- On the terrace at the new Belgica -
Last year a new place opened on a once dead corner of the Leidseplein, Belgica. I wrote about Belgica before. But since then it closed and changed completely. Now it is more a standard type of brown cafe as we say in here in Holland.
Now Amsterdam is having a bit of summer these days, some […]Popularity: 16% [?]
- 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 […]

- 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 […]

Today was a very rain day in Amsterdam and while biking to Leidseplein through the rain to meet my friend, my bike broke down too Luckily I managed to reach Leidseplein on time. I noticed that the Haagendazs that used to be there as been replaced by yet another H&M shop. We didn’t have […]

- Coffee break at Bagels & Wraps -
Today before going with my friend to the food fair at the Haarlemmerdijk, there was some time for a quick coffee at the Bagels & Wraps just off Leidseplein. Bagels & Wraps is on a corner very close to the MacBike store and behind Wagamama, so you can easily miss it. It’s not so big, […]

Never having been to a Hard Rock Cafe anywhere in the world in my life, today was a good time for a first visit to the one in Amsterdam! Summer was gracing Amsterdam a little bit, no rain and just a few clouds. So after we dogged the door bitch of the Hard Rock […]

Also the places have a smiley added in front of their name to express the overall feeling we had of the place, ranging […]

- Dutch-Spanish tapas at Kelderhof -
Some Spanish in-laws were visiting again and after roaming the streets of Amsterdam in search of a place to eat, we ended up at a tapas place of course. This restaurant, just off Leidseplein, is a bit confusing though, since it’s actually two restaurants in one. One with a a la carte menu and an […]

- New place on Leidseplein: Belgica! -
On what was once a dead corner with only a stinky urinal now a new café has opened. Belgica has the décor of a belgian/french grand café. Something that is quite original for Amsterdam! They also have a terrace outside, but I don’t think that part gets much sun unfortunately.
Belgica also offers no table service, […]Popularity: 12% [?]
