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...

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 &...

Mossel & Gin

What a concept! One that I’ve wanted to try for a while now, but with a partner that kinda hates everything-ocean-related and a vegan chick in my closest friends group…well, not a match made in heaven. But finally, I’ve grabbed my best friend Irina and went to discover the famous Mossel & Gin. First of all, the place has a...

Mamas & Tapas

Here we go, another intelligent lockdown – which means restaurants are closed, everyone is struggling and this blog will take another break. BUT BEFORE THAT: one last shout out to Mamas & Tapas, a – you’ve guessed it – tapas restaurant in Amsterdam West. I’ve recently moved from my beloved Jordaan 5 minutes more West around Hugo De Grootplein. I...

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...

Hikage

I’ll start with the thing everyone has had enough of – I know that where to eat in Amsterdam is not the first thing on your mind right now. Hell, we may not even have many options for a while. However, once this is all over and done, you’ll want to go to a place with good food, good vibes...

Assaggi

Our dinner at Assaggi was truly a surprise. Now, I don’t get surprised often, to be fair. I’m doing this whole Eat And Tell Amsterdam thing with my own money, so I obviously research places quite a lot before deciding where to go. Most of the time, I know if something is going to be mediocre, good, or amazing. I...

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...

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,...
