Meet @viaantwerp , the newest boutique hotel in Antwerp on the border of Zurenborg and Borgerhout (yep, voted 2nd coolest neighborhood in the world by Time Out).

And I haven't even mentioned @mea.antwerp! The delicious restaurant with a chef behind the pans who previously cooked at The Palomar in London. If you know, you know!

HOME ALONE 4 INCOMING 😅 My trip to NYC ends in a bad (Christmas) movie when the hotel gives my carry-on with my passport to an old lady who doesn't realize it and checks it in for a flight to the UK! Now I'm stuck here in NY without my passport, and I've missed my flight. I've experienced a lot in all the years I've been traveling for Your Little Black Book, but this is a first 😅. This chat video is purely therapeutic in nature 🤣🤣🤣. Because really: HOW?! 🫢 Note to self: better to take my passport with me all day, instead of leaving it 'safely' in the hotel apparently... and from now on, suitcases should be tied together with a cable in the storage room. Even if you're in a luxurious and expensive hotel, everything is still human work. Now I'm stuck in one of the nicest cities in the world, but of course I just want to be home with Manuel as planned. 😔 To be continued 🧳✈️ And thanks for all the sweet DMs ❤️❤️❤️❤️ ✖️✖️✖️ Anne
And do you also have a nice garden? I want to thank you for your patience and help. 𝟳-𝗷𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗲 𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗼𝗳 𝗲𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝗲𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲! This time we went to @williams.farmhouse one of my favorites for lunch in Amsterdam Oud-Zuid. But is this also fun during the day with kids? We ordered a 'plain' version of the Farmhouse burger 🍔: yes, really just meat + cheese 🤣… and together with the fries it was a mega success. Child happy, us happy… and it was such a cozy, rainy afternoon. I mean this interior, I immediately dream away to the Cotswolds again!

16 of the best cinnamon buns in Amsterdam to try

good good

Cinnamon buns, but with croissant dough? Yes, please! At BUN BUN, Amsterdam's smallest bakery, they take a slightly different approach, making their rolls flaky and buttery soft.

Saint Jean

Plant-based and incredibly popular: SAINT JEAN is the place to go for vegan cinnamon buns. The fluffy rolls literally fly off the shelves. It's no wonder there's always a line out the door on weekends. But trust us, it's worth the wait!
Lindengracht 158H, Amsterdam – saintjean.nl

Brittons Bakery

At Britton's Bakery, you're guaranteed to find a great cinnamon bun. They're fluffy, richly glazed, and truly American. Besides the classic sweet options, they also have savory rolls, like ricotta sundried tomato.

Have a roll

Vegan cinnamon buns that are just as delicious and fluffy as the classic version? At Have a ROLL, they know exactly how to do it. This great Belgian concept now also has a location in De Pijp. From Pear & Chai to Caramel Pecan Roll, and of course, the true classic cinnamon bun.

At Canela Amsterdam, it's all about American-style cinnamon buns. Think large, fluffy rolls with a thick layer of frosting and a generous dose of cinnamon. What's even better: they always have different flavors on the menu, so there's always something new to try.
