Best burgers in the netherlands.  and beyond? When it comes to awards there are two schools of thought – people who find them incredibly useful to help sort through the noise and find ‘the best…’ and those who believe the vast majority are vanity exercises that tend to miss out on hidden gems and secret […] The post Ter Marsch & Co appeared first on Amsterdam Wonderland ..read more

Amsterdam’s hip, cool and trendy restaurants
Amsterdam Wonderland » Food

Can you tell me which Amsterdam restaurants are cool/hip/trendy right now? I often get asked for a list of hip Amsterdam restaurants but the truth is, I’m writing this post somewhat reluctantly in the knowledge that I’m going to be hard pushed to keep it up to date. Indeed when I search Google for ‘hip’ or ‘trendy’ restaurants in Amsterdam I see posts written years ago (or generated by AI) that are waaaaayy beyond their sell-by date. The Amsterdam scene changes regularly and as with everywhere, when the crowd moves on, a place that is considered ‘cool’ one week can quickly become ice cold ..read more

Japanese food in Amsterdam

I’ve hesitated to write this post for a long time now as I have a bit of a thing about recommending Japanese restaurants in Amsterdam.  The reason – well, most readers of my blog are visitors to the city and I’m always incredibly keen that people experience something that feels in some way Dutch whilst here.  As I used to say – would you search for Spanish food in Tokyo, or French food in Kyoto?  Probably not. But I have to acknowledge that Japanese food is universally loved and as the blog grows there are more and more locals reading it so let me at least justify this post by g ..read more

Helling 7

If you’ve been to Amsterdam before but never been to Noord (the area North of the River Ij opposite Central Station) trust me, you don’t know what you’re missing – and Helling 7 isn’t the only surprise. But let’s start at the beginning, I don’t review a huge number of restaurants in North Amsterdam.  Understandably most visitors to the city tend to stick to places within easy reach of the canal belt and though Noord is increasingly accessible it does still take a little more effort to get there. But those who do make the effort are rewarded with a very different Amsterdam.  Forget th ..read more

Cafe Marcella

There are loads of canal-side cafes with terraces and regardless of how good the coffee is (or isn’t) the view typically more than makes up for it.  But I’ve sat in many of these in my time (usually rubbing up against noisy tourists) and never quite felt any of them, bar a couple, are worth remarking on. The exceptions have been Cafe t’Smalle because it used to have the most incredible teeny tiny terrace with a couple of wobbly tables hanging right over the canal, and Cafe van Zuylen because its right on top of a wide bridge over the Singel canal with boats literally passing beneath you ..read more

24 Hours in Amsterdam – My Perfect Amsterdam Day

I often get asked about how to spend the perfect day in Amsterdam.  It’s such an open-ended question and depends on whether you’ve been before, the time of year and who you are with but it got me thinking, what would my perfect Amsterdam day look like?  After all I’ve written posts like 48 Hours With Kids or First Time Amsterdam but whilst many of the suggestions would still be high on my own list, a perfect Amsterdam day of my own choosing would more likely look a little like this… Ok, let’s start with the time of year.  Whilst I do have a passion for cycling past some of the m ..read more

Fort Negen – Amsterdam’s Best Bakery

I’ve been a huge fan of Fort Negen for ages but its taken me a little while to share details of this fabulous hotspot. Why?  Well its not in the very centre of town, and I know most visitors spend their time within touching distance of the canal ring, but honestly if you’re on the hunt for the best bakery in Amsterdam, one that attracts queues of hip locals for their weekend specials, then its worth a ten minute tram ride to Amsterdam West for some stunning bakes that taste even better than they look – and that’s truly saying something.   Head Baker Maarten started his career at th ..read more

Ramen Kingdom Amsterdam

Let me start by stating the obvious, Ramen restaurants are not Dutch. I say this because AmsterdamWonderland is about recommending the very best of Amsterdam to visitors – places with a local flavour that are grounded in this amazing city.  And so, in theory, the last thing I’d ever recommend to someone visiting for a few days is a ramen restaurant.   I mean you could eat ramen anywhere in the world, right? Except the ramen I had in Amsterdam this week was so freaking good I can’t bear not to write it up. For the last few years, ramen has become hugely popular in Amsterdam and a ..read more

De Belhamel – Amsterdam’s most romantic restaurant

Searching for the Amsterdam restaurant of your dreams?  You know – that dreamy canal-side spot with amazing food, a cosy interior and killer views. Trust me, De Belhamel is the place you’re imagining. Often cited as Amsterdam’s most romantic restaurant, the moniker doesn’t really do this wonderful place justice.  You see, this isn’t some twee little spot for couples looking for a Disneyfied version of Amsterdam but rather something that just effortlessly ticks all the boxes. In Summer enjoy one of the handful of tables necklaced over a bridge and along the junction of Amsterdam ..read more

Hans Egstorf Bakery – stroopwafel heaven on Amsterdam’s Spuistraat
Amsterdam Wonderland » Food
by AmsterdamWonderland
1y ago
There are some foods it would be rude to leave Amsterdam without tasting.  Take stroopwafels for example (yes really take one!). Stroopwafels are syrup waffles, you may even have had one in Starbucks before.  Well forget that.  That was not a stroopwafel.  A real one is freshly made, the syrup is warm and dripping – oozing between freshly baked, thin, crispy and at the same time chewy, waffles. Does your Starbucks version do that? Thought not. So please trust me when I say the place to try one of the best stroopwafels in Amsterdam  is the gorgeous Hans Egstorf Bakery ..read more
