Today my friend was a bit sick, so we decided to go somewhere close to his place. Of course Toasty would have been an option, but we wanted to try something new. By accident we found Frenzi Cucina at the end of the Overtoom. Now this is not really a restaurant, but more a deli/caterer […]

Kick up your heels boys and girls and hear the Country & Western music. Kingfisher in de Pijp area of Amsterdam seems to want to breathe the atmosphere of the old fifties diners in the States. And although the bar with the red fridges give a cadillac type feel and the fact that it seems […]

Saturday evening and looking for a place to eat. After feeling like Josef and Mary, being turned down at restaurants because you have no reservation, we stumbled across The Golden Temple at the end of the Utrechtsestraat. Now from the outside it looked rather quiet, but inside it was full of reservation signs on the […]

Today was a typical end of summer day in Amsterdam. Warm when the sun shines and needing a coat when the clouds come. And in Holland there are a lot of clouds! We decided today to go out of the center and go to the adjacent De Pijp area. Walking down the Albert Cuyp market […]

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, […]

Hidden about half the Utrechtsestraat is this place called Zuivere Koffie. I read about this place as a recommendation and it took us a little bit of searching before we found it. Zuivere Koffie is quite a cosy place, so be prepared to be close to your neighbors and to fold yourself a bit at […]

Today I met my friend early, so instead of having lunch, we had to have brunch! He had already picked a place he had spotted before, so we went there. Louter is a nice place on a corner in the De Clerqstraat, a little out of the center of Amsterdam. The place has large […]

After the sandwich at Klavertje 4, we were looking for a place to have our coffee. Since the weather was okay, not too sunny, but still warm enough, we looked for a place outside. We found some free place on the terrace of Downtown. Here you can also have some food, there is quite an […]

Having biked past Klavertje 4 many times in the Utrechtsestraat and I always wondering about this place, so today I finally took a look here. Klavertje 4 means four leafed clover in dutch and the plant theme has been carried into the decor. Lots of green and white. And a fake plant on the table […]

This weekend was gay pride in Amsterdam, which means the yearly parade of gays & lesbians in boats were going through the Prinsengracht again. This year the parade was bigger than ever, taking quite a long time. But it is necessary, because intolerance here in Amsterdam seems to be on the rise. And intolerance is […]

After the big nachos at the Hard Rock Cafe, we decided we needed a coffee to stay awake after all that food. It was a stiff walk through all the shopping streets from Leidseplein to Waterlooplein, where we descended on the terrace of Puccini. Now Puccini is also a bonbon store with hand-made bonbons, […]

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 […]
