Hey there, Amsterdamers! Long time, no see. It’s been slow over here, between holidays, (a lot of) football, and some major life changes that I’ll address soon. However, we recently managed to get to buurtcafe De Tros, a spot that’s been on my list for a couple of months, but constantly fully booked. This time, we got lucky, with no...

Cafe Nieuw Amsterdam

Hey foodies! It’s been ages since my last review, so I’m pretty excited to be typing again. My absence was for good reasons, though. I managed to squeeze 5 trips in 2 months, and had some good friends over for King’s Day and Eurovision (yes, I count that as a national holiday). Between my travels, I’ve been back to some old trusted spots, so…it’s been a while. But hey – I’m here, let’s talk about Cafe Nieuw Amsterdam. Known as the West-Indisch Huis, this building dates back to the 17th century, and was rented out to the newly founded West-India Company. From here, the construction of Fort Nieu ..read more

Cabron

Oh, the never-ending run to find decent Mexican food in Amsterdam…it’s a bit of a struggle. Lately, I’ve heard more and more names popping out with good reviews, but most of the time, they cost an arm and a leg for…tacos? By now, newer restaurants have topped my (also never-ending) list of restaurants to review, so I forgot about older spots, like Cabron. This restaurant has been open for a couple of years now. Back then, it was a fairly popular choice, but the price-tag was definitely typical of Amsterdam: over 15 EUR for 3 tacos. However, when the Instagram holy algorithm brought an ad for a ..read more

Gertrude

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: Gertrude. Although I’ve passed this spot dozens of times, I have to admit I had no idea about it. The very cute looking restaurant has a fairly small, seasonal menu, put together by chef Amadou. You can enjoy a chef’s menu (I don’t remember ..read more

Last week, Fiaschetteria Pistoia hosted Hayden and me for our 8-year anniversary. We usually go away on a trip to celebrate, but given we’ve just returned from Mexico ( <3 ) the week before…we stayed put, and went for a quick trip to Italy through Fiaschetteria Pistoia. The restaurant has 2 locations in Amsterdam (plus one in Italy, and another 2 in New York), and it’s famous for its homemade delicious pasta. It’s been on pretty much every foodie’s list since they opened, so naturally, it’s been on my list too. My only concern? The dozens of reviews saying that you get “kicked out with the ..read more

SOJU Bar

SOJU Bar…a name known to pretty much any foodie around Amsterdam, and their friends. It’s been around for a while now, had really aggressive marketing when it opened, sustains good ratings, and a full restaurant on most nights. So – what’s the hype all about? My first visit to the SOJU Bar was almost one year ago. My husband and I were celebrating our anniversary, so had a fancy dinner (not the greatest one, though). Therefore, we weren’t there for food, but just to share some soju with friends. I remember my buddies trying “soju go to hell“, the chicken item that has 10 spicy peppers next to ..read more

Well, well, well…if you follow trends about the food scene, you probably know that Peruvian has been pretty hot lately. And when it comes to Peruvian food in Amsterdam, Nazka is a name you’ll hear about. And for good reason. The chef, Koosh Kothari, worked at restaurants like Merito, Kjolle and Central in Lima – the latter being named the best restaurant in the world, in 2023. Nazka brings Peruvian ingredients and recipes, with a little twist, a touch of fusion; many times on the Japanese side. Hayden and I went to Nazka for our last date night of the year. We wanted to make it special, we wan ..read more

Recently, my mother-in-law came over from Dallas, and our dear friends visited from Paris. We’ve spent Thanksgiving together, but before all that…we celebrated Kendall’s birthday at Bonboon, a vegan restaurant in Jordaan. Bonboon was Daphne’s (the owner) dream to prove good food is possible without involving animal products. They offer 4 or 5-course meals, that change periodically. Additionally, you can enjoy a wine pairing (for €32), or interestingly enough, a tea pairing (€16)! We all chose the 4 meal course, and most of us got the wine pairing. One of our friends went for the tea, and she e ..read more

La Trattoria Di Donna Sofia

A couple of weeks ago, Hayden and I wore on the hunt for an Italian dinner. Thankfully, there are millions of options in Amsterdam, with a new one popping up every week (or so). But, that also means that you need to filter through, especially since a dinner at an Italian restaurant in Amsterdam is usually not a cheap night out. After hours of research through all the names, I’ve landed on La Trattoria Di Donna Sofia. It’s been around for about 10 years, and it’s located on one of my favorite streets in Amsterdam. I’ve passed this quaint little spot in Jordaan many times, but never stopped by ..read more

Fuku Ramen

Sounds familiar? Fuku Ramen? If you follow an Amsterdam based food feed, you’ve probably seen this name around. Fairly new, but already building a reputation for their ramen bowls, Fuku Ramen only offers a chef’s menu from Thursday to Saturday, and an à la carte ramen lunch every Sunday. Simple. Is that the secret? A couple of years ago, everyone was raving about Ramen Kingdom. To my shame, I still haven’t visited them, yet I promised myself I’ll stay in that line one day. Lately, however, I’ve started hearing about a possible competition for the best ramen in Amsterdam – and that’s when I’ve ..read more
