Cafe Restaurant Metro
Easily one of the nicest new restaurants in Amsterdam Noord. And the good news is that they have their own bakery, so they open early every day. It's best to pop in around lunchtime! From noon onwards, they already have a number of divine dishes on their rotating menu. I recommend ordering a variety of dishes from the menu and don't miss the snacks. Fill your table, add a glass of wine or another delicious drink, and enjoy! TIP: It's also fun to combine a daytime visit with NXT Museum It's right next to Cafe Restaurant Metro. I enjoyed a leisurely dinner here in the evening. Perfect for date night or with friends. Start with a drink and a snack at the bar and then head to the table. You'll want to try the entire menu, and coming back often isn't a bad idea, as the dishes change regularly. I also really appreciate that the wine list starts with truly reasonable prices for truly delicious wines. It's one of the few new restaurants in Amsterdam of this caliber where you don't immediately have to spend at least 40-50 euros for a bottle. It's definitely worth mentioning: thumbs up for the accessible wine list.

Next
NEXT at the NDSM wharf is the newest addition from the team behind PLLEK. You could think of it as a slightly more mature, yet still rebellious and uncategorizable, bigger brother. Open seven days a week from 9:30 am, it's also the perfect spot for breakfast. But perhaps even more so, it's the kind of place you go for drinks in the late afternoon, and then you don't want to leave. You stick around for dinner (or even better, the chef's menu, much of which is vegan). And after dinner, NEXT is also the perfect place to enjoy another cocktail and turn it into an (unplanned) party.

📍 @masmais.taqueria (West)

Come with me to get breakfast in Taipei 🥢
Straight from the airport to this little place to taste soup dumplings and so much more! That's what I call a soft landing 😉 <3
In Taipei, you go to a Soy Milk Shop for breakfast. Warm soy milk to eat in a bowl, and steam baskets with the tastiest dumplings and baozi. You can really wake me up for this kind of breakfast. These local breakfast spots come in all shapes and sizes, from Michelin-recommended spots to hole-in-the-wall stalls.
Most soy milk shops open early (and sometimes even 24 hours a day), and these are the dishes you want to try:
🥄 Warm soy milk
🥢 Soup dumplings (you can often choose between pork and veggies)
🥢 Pork baozi
🥢 Youtiao (油條 - a kind of fried donut stick)
🥢 Youtiao (油條) w/ pork floss & rice
🥢 Turnip cake
🥢 Chives pancake
🥢 Scallion pancake
TIP: Sharing is a good idea to taste as much as possible, because the portions are (often) large.
You'll want to remember these soy milk shops for your future trip to Taipei:
📍Fuhang Soy Milk
📍Soy Milk Shop
📍Yong He Soya Milk King (Da'an)
📍Sihai Soy Milk
I am currently touring Taiwan, and you can also find all the tips in my Stories Highlight.
Have you ever been to Taiwan? I'm curious if you thought it was *that* amazing!

Just back from Catalonia and I thought: I'll share some tips right away.
During our road trip, we stayed two nights in the Ebro Delta. An incredibly fun stop for families and foodies, where there is plenty to do.
• A boat trip to the Musclarium is a must! Here you eat oysters and mussels straight from the farm, in the middle of the sea.
· Admire the flamingos and black ibises that can be found here all year round.
· Rice is grown in the Ebro Delta all year round. For paella, but Kensho also makes sake and miso from it! You can visit them during a tasting.
Cycling along the rice fields, canoeing on the Ebro River, and visiting various beaches. It was still a bit too cold right now, but there is plenty to do.
• The towns are very low-key and not that exciting, but you can find fantastic local food there. From the Michelin-awarded Les Moles* to local eateries like Vermuteria Bonmarisc and Lo Tinglado. We ate a lot of fish, but also anemone fritters (a first!).
Now back to work, and I’m going to create an extensive travel guide of this road trip through Catalonia, but you’ll want to save these tips for a future adventure.
