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...

The Good Companion

The Good Companion has been on my list since I moved to Amsterdam. Rumor has it, the place has the best fish and chips in the area. I don’t get to eat enough fish, as Hayden isn’t a fan, which is well annoying (get it together, man). However, the golden rule usually applies: fried is alright. And so, I managed...

BEER Loves FOOD

To be fair, beer loves food indeed. The thing is, most of the time it’s what takes me to a kebab shop at 2AM. This time, Fancy Pants Me and Mr. Same ended up at an actual bistro, as they call it. Also, no I am not screaming at you – it’s how their name is supposed to be spelled....

Casa Di David

Last week we celebrated Hayden landing a cool, exciting new job! Naturally, that means we’ve been spending way too much money on loads of food, drinks and covered it with “f*ck it, we’re celebrating”. The celebration week ended with a slightly fancier date night at Casa Di David. When it comes to Italian cuisine in Amsterdam, Casa Di David is...

Umaimon

A good bowl of ramen is something you can feed me any time. I legit think there are few things in this world better than proper ramen. For the sake of my summer body (which will never happen), I tend to keep this on my winter list, rather than a May date night. Anyhow, since this May is as cold...

Bhatti Pasal

Well, it certainly has been a while since the last review, or since my last visit to a restaurant in Amsterdam. Bhatti Pasal was my first stop after returning from Thailand. Getting over the flavours, the spices, the smells and the variety of Thai food is not easy, so I thought there’s only one thing that can soothe my pain:...

Bistro Bonjour

Hayden and I are getting ready for our holiday and couldn’t be more excited. It will be our first trip to Asia, and we’re ready for all the heat, craziness, beaches, cultural differences and of course, the yummy food. Since I will get enough of his gorgeous face for the next couple of weeks, I’ve dedicated date night to my...

Bazar

The last weeks were tougher than usual for my poor body who keeps dealing with my sh*t. After a proper St. Patrick’s spent in Dublin with liters and liters of Guiness, Hayden and I had friends over for a couple of days. When you live in Amsterdam, having someone over means 3 things: Red Light District, Space cakes and Bitterballen....

Deer Mama

If you ask me, Saturdays are made for drinking, laughing and food that your trainer tells you to avoid. So are Sundays. And Friday evenings. Occasionally Tuesdays? However, last Saturday I ended up at a vegan restaurant. This was my first time at a vegan restaurant. Yay to new experiences! Deer Mama happened to be fairly close to the bowling...

Spaghetteria

Last weekend, Hayden and I celebrated 3 years of love, laughter, drinks and food. How we celebrated? Naturally, with more of all of the above, but mostly with all sorts of beers we could find throughout Amsterdam Noord – a gem we both just discovered. Our visit at the Spaghetteria later that week was not necessarily linked to our anniversary,...
