Amsterdam, a city that inspires a feeling.

A small city on a map, but much to uncover

Each of our visits in the past too short to really discover

Just a short list of recs for you here

A starting point for you to uncover 

The classic canal walk of the 9 straats, with a stop over at Hoppe for drinks and the classic bitterballen. Fried, creamy, looks like a croquette. Excellent with beer. What’s not to like?

Each city has a tourist food trap (I see you Mustufa’s in Berlin), and Amsterdam has the indulgent chocolate cookies from Van Stapele Koekmakerij. This one is worth the stop. If you have the patience to stand in line (or the energy to get there first), definitely pick up a box or two.

Zero Zero with their fresh focassia, meats, cheese, is for satisying those quick on-the-go munchies (or.. munchies of any kind).

If you want to get away from the city (but not too far away), head over to Pllek. An urban beach in Amsterdam North, beers by the water, surrounded by old shipping containers. Real Bushwick NYC vibes.

Whatever you do,

Don’t forget to indulge in a long evening borrel,

Don’t forget to feel the Gezellig, 

Don’t forget to buy a circle of dutch cheese

Because

Lecker
