We discovered .amsterdam last year... I was searching for a place to celebrate our 7th wedding anniversary. You already know us - breakfast is our favorite meal, and when we find places whose menu isn’t just the typical ‘two eggs sunny-side up on toast’ or ‘omelet with herbs’ or ‘croissant with butter and jam,’ we jump at the chance, but also lower our expectations to avoid disappointment. So, imagine what happens when all of these connect to one big success. Breakfast - overlooking the Amstel River and the beautiful houses of Amsterdam - and amazing Eastern European (with a touch of Western) dishes! We’re in heaven! Blin Queen opened three years ago in the city center, a small family business that’s currently busy opening its second branch in the east of the city. Everything here is done just the way we like it - from the social media presence, through the menu design, to the choice of cups, plates, and the dishes they serve on those plates. In each of these aspects, you feel the precise choices made, all with meticulous attention to the smallest details. Now, let’s talk a bit about the food - after all, that’s the main thing. Blini (a thin Eastern European pancake) with gin-infused salmon, ricotta, cream cheese, and cucumbers, and also, a giant potato latke with poached eggs, avocado, and gravlax, and also, ‘cottage cheese pancakes - sounds like - what? Who? But listen - don’t ask for the bill before you tried them - they’re the main reason we keep coming back to Blin Queen again and again - thick cottage cheese oven baked pancakes served with
youghurt, cranberry powder, home-made, raspberry & thyme jam or blackcurrant & lime jam. - an amazing dish! Since our last visit, they’ve already added an evening menu that we’re dying to check out, giving us an excuse (that we didn’t really need) to come back again :)

Totally forgot to write about our experience at from a few weeks ago, so here it is! Hakata Senpachi, a Yakitori restaurant that had been on our list for quite some time, and finally, we managed to go there. The restaurant has been around for 20 years and consistently maintains a high standard (we checked with friends we trust who visited there many years ago 😅). We arrived hungry (as usual 🤪) and chose to sit by the grill to stimulate our appetites even more. The combination of the smell of the grilled skewers together with hunger almost made us order the entire menu 🙈, which was a smart decision because every bite was - WOW! It was so much fun to receive more and more tasty surprises at the table. We left full and satisfied, and next time, we’ll come back with friends too 🙃

Madame Jeanette is a yellow pepper, looks like a tiny bell pepper, very spicy, originating from Suriname! It’s okay if this is the first time you’ve heard of Suriname - you’re not alone :) However, it would be a shame to come all the way to Amsterdam and miss out on it - both the pepper and Surinamese cuisine. During our food tours in and around the market we talk about where Suriname is located, who the Surinamese people are, what the traditional foods are, and how a dish of Portuguese and Sephardic Jews became the most popular dish there. There, among all the flavors, Madame Jeanette will also appear as a key ingredient in an amazing Sambal (spicy sauce), which is spicy, sweet, sour, and salty - impossible to remain indifferent to. Our guests on the tours fall in love with it in seconds 🙂

Hand-made sweets from the Indian shop Amsterdam east!

11/04/2024

Once again, we’re back, putting on our breakfast and brunch enthusiast hats, ready to tell you about another spot that does a great job when it comes to morning carbs - .french.cafe . This café/bistro has two branches in Amsterdam - one in the east and one in the west - and another branch soon to open in Utrecht.
In the morning, Le French Café serves up a tasty array of pastries, eggs, sandwiches, and salads. And in the evening, they offer a variety of appetizers and small dishes, along with hearty bistro-style meals like fish, seafood, steaks, and more.
What we appreciate about Le French Café, along with their good food, is their solid style and good service.

If there’s anything we love more than preparing stuffed dishes of all shapes and varieties - vine leaves, cabbage, onions, courgettes, peppers - you name it, it’s when someone makes them for us and all we have to do is eat! We’re not sure if we’re ready to share the secret of this cozy little place just yet, where surprisingly, every day they make handmade Dolma - stuffed vine leaves. But if you know how to keep a secret... write to us, and maybe we’ll share it with you.

We told you once, but we’ll say it again: While Amsterdam may be the capital of the Netherlands, there are some excellent spots here to grab empanadas. We really love those from , a tiny shop in Jordaan owned by Sandro and Deby (both married and business partners - sounds familiar, doesn’t it? 🙂). Anyway, whenever we’re there, we always enjoy a mix of authentic fillings and some surprising combinations, love it!

12/03/2023

What a great discovery!
Just visited this lovely, small and super yummy Greek restaurant in The Hague!
Everything we ate was delicious and very authentic. The Hague surprises us once again!

.ams turned out to be one of the biggest surprises we had this year till now.

Located in the north of the city we had this restaurant saved on our to-go list for almost a year now and yesterday we finally had the chance to visit.

We can tell you right now - it is a hidden gem!

Opened less than 2-years ago they know exactly what they're doing here - food wise but also amazing service and vibes!

We took the set menu that was created by the chef who's Dutch but lived in Asia for a few years so the food is Chinese, Japanese and Korean influenced when the vegetables are at the front and gets most attention.

Brioche with whipped goats butter and seaweed salt, veal tongue skewer, pickled lotus root, pear sorbet with miso caramel and buckwheat were just a few of the amazing bites we had - we won't expose it all to not ruin the experience although anyways they regularly change the dishes on the menu.

This place is a new favorite of ours and we're so excited for our next visit there! It's probably going to be sooner than we think :) A++

The only problem with this place is that the lighting there doesn't do justice with the food and the beautiful way it's plated.

15/02/2023

The almighty HEMA rookworst - the mini version 🖤🤎

15/02/2023

This place is as good as it gets! No surprise it’s ranked as one of the most creative and popular restaurants in the city for many years now.

We took the 5 course menu - non vegetarian for me and vegetarian for Inbal - that way we were able to try more of their creative dishes. Everything was amazing! The food of course but the vibe and service were top notch as well! Thinking about our next visit...

14/02/2023

Finally got a chance to visit Hinata Amsterdam for Ramen and more.

Started with-
Japanese style fried chicken with Kewpie mayo that were simple and really good. Then some crispy fried tofu with vegan mayo and also japanese rice ball with tuna mayo that were ok, not more.

I had the Karamiso Ramen - creamy chicken broth, spicy miso tare with pork chashu, half an egg, spring onion and black mushroom added tofu as well- Big like!

Inbal had the Shoyu Ramen - Chicken broth, soy sauce tare with pork chashu, half an egg, spring onion and black mushroom.

Great hot Ramen on cold nights - what else can we ask for?

🍜

13/02/2023

Lunch at
We actually got several recommendations for this restaurant from a few Indian guests on our food tours for great southern Indian cuisine. Finally we had the time to visit! Central, yummy and great value for money!

11/02/2023

What a nice surprise! 24h in Gent!
2.5h drive from Amsterdam. Ohh and the chocolate, and pastries!!! We had an amazing time! Going to Gent soon? Check out all the places we visited on our highlights (Gent, Belgium)

Had a date night at in the north of the city. The setting is beautiful! And it is located in an old car garage. Open kitchen, rusty, industrial and super chic, old cars on lifts, chandelier made from glass bottles, white table cloth next to cafeteria chirs, unpainted walls next to a full set of cutlery on the table. Do you get it? So many contrasts.

We started with langoustine with Aji blanco, bacon and watermelon
Then, fish soup with mussels and gruyere - A+
For mains we took a white fish, beans and fennel and also their famous rotisserie poussin with potatoes and mushrooms
For dessert -
Chocolate mousse, crunchy almonds and english cream A++
And also, semolina cake, olive oil ice cream, merengue and figs

We had a great time and really enjoyed our visit and on top of that - the service was perfect, the vibes were right on and the view was amazing!

This photo doesn't do justice with this burger.
But listen carefully, this is by far the best smash burger in Amsterdam! And you hear it from someone who just came back from New York and tasted a whole lot of burgers. Leave everything you're doing, go and taste this burger and don't forget to come back and tell us what you thought :)

Bites.... Israel 🇮🇱

15/11/2022

We Love This New Place! .zero.store opened just a month ago and that's enough to know that they are the new place you (and the rest of Amsterdam) wanna visit!
This small Italian deli makes AMAZING sandwiches! Home-made sourdough focaccia, amazing cold cuts, delicious cheeses and great sandwiches. YAAAS!

13/11/2022

OK OK if you haven't been here yet you definitely should as this place takes the crown for the best ice cream shop in the city! Carlo the owner of was born in torino and found his way to Amsterdam. After searching for an ice cream shop that will make him feel at home and failing to find one, he decided to open one by himself. Among the upgraded classics flavores such as lemon - made from fresh lemons from Italy, chocolate - made from cocoa beans and pistachio that left us speechless you'll also find some more unique and changing flavores like a silky smooth and creamy Burrata or Bummus ice cream - yes! Hummus! Give it a try you'll be extremely surprised. 10/10!

12/11/2022

This few month old burger place at De Baarsjes is a must visit for great smash burgers! Opened by 2 Israelis that wanted to add their contribution to the burger scene growth in the city! Everything is home-made - the toppings and even the buns and all together adds up to another great burger joint in the city - YES!

10/11/2022

Visited .netherlands for some Israeli cheese Bourekas, chocolate babka and an amazing Georgian khachapuri (cheese and egg pastry).
Tip - their pita bread is imported from Israel and takes the lead by far for the best pita bread you can get your hands on in Amsterdam.

It doesn't even make sense that we never wrote about the Kapsalon! What’s a Kapsalon? Well if you'd google translate it you'll find that Kapsalon is a hairdresser’s in Dutch but we’re here for the food right? So how did the Kapsalon become a dish?

Kapsalon is a dish created in 2003 in the Dutch city of Rotterdam, consisting of a layer of french fries placed into a disposable metal take-away tray, topped with döner meat, covered with slices of Gouda cheese, and heated in an oven until the cheese melts.
The dish originated in 2003 by Nathaniël Gomes, a hairdresser from Rotterdam who one day at the neighboring doner store asked to combine all his favorite ingredients into one dish. He began regularly requesting what the restaurant called "the usual order for the kapsalon". Other customers noticed and started to order the kapsalon too, and it became a "hit", soon being demanded in nearby snack bars. The dish has since spread around the Netherlands.

the younger brother of Salmuera opened just a few months ago. Salmuera put up a high standard so we were really expecting a nice evening. On our visit to Salmuera we were told that the concept of their new place (Sins of Sal) is a combination of great latin american bites and pre-made cocktails - what does that even mean? It means that their cocktails are very advanced and complicated regarding their making process but the end result is amazing and they can pour them straight from the tap - a minute after you order them. Well we were sceptical but also curious and we must say it was very hard to choose from their cocktail menu (which is on the pricey side) but all 3 cocktails we tried were - WOW.
And now the food. We had:

Tacos Ostras
Tempura oyster, oyster cream, cabbage & coriander-lime mayo which were surprisingly good and even though the oysters were deep fried, there was still a deep and rich taste of the sea.

Molleja Tostadas
Sweetbread, spicy coca-cola, 9th gate salsa - We always try dishes with sweet bread (have you tried it before?) whenever we find them and it was great! The coca cola glaze really added the right amount of sweetness.

Birria Tacos
Pulled pork, birria stock & corn tortilla - were so good! The birria stock was so deep and rich!

Torta Libre
Brioche bun, nachos, Lechon (pork), jus de veau, chipotle mayo, cheese & fermented hot sauce - by far our favorite dish! You do have to take a nap after eating it as it is super heavy and is the exact definition of soul food

Well we did postpone our nap cause we did want something sweet at the end. So for dessert we had the homemade mini magnums with salted dulce de leche which did the job but wasn’t surprising as the food we just had.

Overall a great experience, a great place for a date or with friends - thinking about our next visit there :)

02/11/2022

If you don’t know this place you should and you should definitely visit them ASAP. Dumplings is a kiosk in the west part of the city selling - you guessed it - Handmade dumplings, fried or steamed, vegetarians and non (pork). They make them from scratch on location and they are to die for! So good! They also have some other great dishes - one of them is the not to be missed pekin duck crepe which is loaded and filled with - egg, lettuce, soybean sauce, sesame, green onion, coriander and pekin duck of course.
Around the kiosk there are a few benches and tables facing the canal and it’s really nice - so take advantage of it before it gets too cold :)

01/11/2022

French pastries? Yes please!
We paid a visit to to sample some of their goodies and ended up super full and happy, weighing 2 extra kilos each!
We tried their chocolate croissant filled with (tons of) chocolate cremeux
Pistachio escargot with white chocolate and pistachio which was amazing!
And the one and only Kouign-amann which is a sweet Breton cake, made with laminated dough. It is a round multi-layered cake, originally made with bread dough, containing layers of butter and incorporated sugar (thanks wikipedia)

A must visit!

We are a little bit embarrassed to say but we've been passing by .popov almost every day for the past 5 years and it always looked like a small broodje place where you can have simple small Dutch sandwiches. A few years ago that was pretty much the situation over there but recently they did a really huge makeover and now they serve breakfast dishes but also enormous sandwiches that we can't stop eating.
Since our first visit there we've been there quite a bit and our top picks are :
The Philly cheesesteak
Smash burger
Warm pastrami sandwich

26/10/2022

We wanted to visit Salmuera for a long while and finally we got the chance to. Right at the entrance we knew by the smell and vibes we’ll love this place. We sat outside at the terrace where the setting is somewhere between chic and romantic. We ordered our food with the help of our knowledgeable waiter (it took us a while to decide - we wanted it all but there were just the two of us) I started with the “Kosho” colada cocktail - Miso pineapple - green matcha - Don Julio blanco Tequila - It was incredible!
And then the food arrived -

Classico
Fresh sea bass with leche de tigre, sweet potato puree, red onion and cancha

Atun
Fresh Tuna with grapefruit and strawberry leche de tigre, melon and avocado.

Finger Quesadillas
Delicious cheese quesadillas, guacamole, chorizo, frijoles and sour cream

Ribeye
300g

And Lechon
8 hours roasted suckling pig soaked in Salmuera water.

They had one dessert (which we hoped will be great - and it was) -
Flan con dulce de leche
Homemade caramel custard served with dulce de leche with a bit of the orange peel bitterness.

The service was super professional and every dish was really really good! Definitely worth a visit - and make sure not to miss their cocktails too.

24/10/2022

Brunch again. Box social is always fun for that. Great vibes, great food.

20/10/2022

It's been a while since we last visited but Inbal’s parents were on a visit and they love fish and seafood so it was a great opportunity to check them out again.

We had the:

Mixed grill combination of crustaceans and fish from the plancha, shrimp, squid, small dover sole, salmon, king prawn, and sea bass fillets served with mussels in tomato sauce.

We were 4 and this super loaded plate defeated us - easily.

We’ve been following @panzeroitalianstreatfood in Rotterdam for quite some time and let me tell you it was worth the wait. No pizza, no pasta but great Italian street food from Puglia! Think about - Bruschettas, aubergine lasagna, fried dough filled with burrata grilled octopus and artichoke and Southern Italian sandwiches! These guys are serious in what they do, and we love it!

Visited @thenewnewgoldenhouse (or The new new restaurant) for a night full of cocktails and surprisingly nice dishes— short ribs bao buns with egg yolk sauce easily winning best bite of the evening. But we also had homemade dumplings, orange chicken, pork belly and sweet and savory noodles with pork and although the design is to the point, the food and cocktails were great the service wasn’t - our cocktails were last to arrive after we got everything we already ordered. Apologies? No way. Smiles? no no… Hopefully they will soon understand that owning a restaurant goes hand-in-hand with being great hosts, and not only preparing wonderful dishes. But we will definitely go again for everything we didn’t have room to try but wanted to order on our first visit and we’ll keep you posted ❤️

On with my birthday celebrations - we visited @klaproosamsterdam at their new location in the north part of Amsterdam for great pizza and bites!

Yesterday we had a really great time at @restaurantamsterdammertje it was actually part of my birthday celebrations (Inbal was head of fun this day 😎) 3 1/2 hours of great bites from all over the world. We would definitely recommend and it’s definitely worth the drive. 🚙
