Cafe Cook

Is there anything better than Sunday brunch? Good food, drinks, friends, laughs…then I wonder why I have the Mondays blues every week. Last week we’ve decided to explore a part of Amsterdam West that we don’t usually go to, around Erasmuspark. There, we found Cafe Cook (’cause it’s on James Cookstraat, get it?). Not sure how long they’ve been there,...

Mem’s Amsterdam

Or Mems? It’s pretty confusing. Anyway – new lockdown, new opportunities to review lunch and brunch spots, since early dinners are still a bit too Dutch for me. A couple of weekends ago I was in search of a brunch spot that wasn’t sold out for the next 4 weeks (looking at you, Staring at Jacob) where I could grab...

Factory Girl

Rain and storms can’t break my bones, and I’m still gonna end up on a terrace for my brunch fix. This time, it was at Factory Girl in De Pijp. I don’t exactly remember who told me about this spot (about 2 years ago), but I remember the intro was something like “You have to check it out, it’s something...

Bakers & Roasters

Looking for a new hot spot in Amsterdam, I found…no, that’s not true at all. Bakers & Roasters is a legend, if anything. They have a good reputation in Amsterdam’s brunch world – which isn’t the easiest industry to be in! If you don’t believe me, pass by their place in De Pijp on a weekend morning and see the...

Dignita

Does everyone already know that I live for brunch? Okay, cool. Dignita has obviously been on my “to eat” list for a while. Their food is very Instagramable, so it popped on my feed multiple times. With two locations and a Bloody Mary on their landing page, it was bound to happen. Last Sunday we went to their East location,...

Little Collins

What a weekend we’ve had! It was Hayden’s first birthday spent in Amsterdam, so the celebratory brunch spot was chosen by…still me, obviously. After almost an year in the West, we finally made an appearance at the famous Little Collins! Brunch spots may be my favorite to review, and enjoy. I just get so excited about brunch, what a wonderful...

Cut Throat

I have a dream – that one day, brunch will be such a basic thing here in Amsterdam, that places will need to compete and do the American “$1 mimosas” and such deals. It will take a while, sigh. Meanwhile, going out for brunch every weekend would be preeeetty expensive. When it happens, I want it to be good. Seriously,...

Gs

I am an absolute sucker for brunch. I never knew much about this concept (other than what Sex and the City taught me) before having an American partner…now, I can’t even imagine Sundays without it. Most times we tend to put together our own brunch, but about once a month we’ll go out there and see what Amsterdam has to...
