Last weekend, the best thing happened – 2 full non-working days, filled with sun. The first one of the year! Naturally, terraces and restaurants were filled with people eager to enjoy the miracle. I wonder how many sick days were taken last Friday? Anyway. Together with our friends visiting from Paris, we also ventured into the world…of a French restaurant:...

Arles

Last month has been my “peaking bride to be” time of the year – I’ve had not one, but 2 bachelorette parties, and a US style bridal shower in Dallas! It’s been lovely, heart-warming and boozy. For my second, party, even a friend from Canada came over! To send her off, the girlies group and a couple of our +1s...

Alba

I already miss the last weekend – that first long weekend of the year always hits the spot. To kick off the festivities (and to celebrate that I’m no longer sick after about a week), I was looking at a cute date night spot. I wanted to save some money, so was researching that sweet, middle-ground place for a good...

Le Hollandais

Le Hollandais – the French restaurant that sounds Dutch. But then again, so does the Hollandaise sauce, so nothing odd here. This restaurant is part of Shortlist Amsterdam, a book I got from Hayden for my birthday a couple of years ago. I turn to it whenever I’m looking for a meal that fits a special occasion. The edition I...

Grand Café Krasnapolsky

Summer’s over. Holidays done and gone. Heart happy. Wallet…confused. Yep, it’s time to stick around Amsterdam for a while. And try some new places, while we’re at it! This week’s visit was at Grand Café Krasnapolsky. One regret I have about being away for most of September is basically missing most of Amsterdam’s restaurant week. It actually lasts for a...

Kaagman & Kortekaas

Once in a blue moon, Hayden and I go out for a proper date night. I mean a 6 course meal, 4 hours long dinner, more wine than we should drink…the whole package. We’ve lately been hosting family and friends quite often, so was in dire need of an “us” night. That’s pretty much what brought us at Kaagman &...

Cafe Americain

My birthday this year was on a Monday, which means the only sensible thing to do was celebrate starting from Friday. The weekend was full of joy, food and bubbles, and it ended on Monday night, with a surprise dinner at Cafe Americain. Let me also briefly mention my amazing partner Hayden who takes me on surprise dinners in beautiful...

Ron Gastrobar

Ah, here we are – one top restaurant off my list! Ron Gastrobar has always been a must do for me, but I’ve always waited for some extra money to make the step. My wonderful friends Kendra and Ben gave me giftcard for my birthday and made this wish come true! Therefore, starting the post with a huge thanks to...

Ladies and gentlemen, let me begin by telling you this is a very special week! Yes, this goes against all sorts of SEO (put the keyword in the first paragraph, bla bla) but it doesn’t matter. It has been 1 year since I wrote my first review on Eat And Tell Amsterdam, about Luna. Big thanks to all of you...
