It’s almost that time of year: Christmas! Did you make plans already? I’ve decided not to cook dinner. Cause then I’ll just stand in the kitchen the whole day. So this means I’m going out for dinner this Christmas in Amsterdam. Now, not all restaurants are open during Christmas, so I went looking for hotspots that are both open and serve a delicious (Christmas)meal. Discover the best restaurants for December 24, 25 and 26 in Amsterdam!
