𝗔 𝗯𝗿𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝗰𝗮𝗳𝗲́ 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝗔𝗺𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗱𝗮𝗺 𝗖𝗶𝘁𝘆? @eetcafe_de_reiger is the spot to remember. Cozy, casual, and a seasonal menu. This one was on my list to share for a year and finally it's (almost) asparagus season again! 🤤 Another plus? Prices are very reasonable here! 📍 Eetcafé de Reiger Jordaan, Amsterdam City Center Save this spot for when you're craving warm Dutch traditional dishes in the heart of Amsterdam. And did you hear the same team took over Eetcafé van Beeren? I can't wait to go there too! ✖️✖️✖️ 🖊️ @anne_de_buck
A grandma's cookbook. Three Michelin stars. And a beautiful 70s villa in a quiet neighborhood in Bangkok, where you are welcomed as if you were at the chefs' home. The Sühring brothers don't cook based on trends; they cook based on memories. Of their grandmother's farm, of the flavors of their youth in Germany, and of techniques passed down through generations. @relaischateaux invited me to experience Sühring during a solo lunch, and this is truly my ultimate definition of culinary self-care. This was a surprising afternoon in Bangkok, where I ate the best German food I have ever tasted. And that in a city where I normally avoid European restaurants. Well, for @restaurant_suhring, you really want to make that exception. Signature dishes that I still think back to regularly? 🍴 Labskaus with caviar 🍴 Enleta waffle with Pfalz vinegar 🍴 Game pâté 🍴 Dry-aged Duck TIP: When you go to Sühring, reserve seats at the kitchen bar so you have a view of the chefs at work! Follow @yourlbb for more tips you can trust. ✖️✖️✖️ 🖊️ @anne_de_buck #prinvited #bangkok #michelin #relaischateaux In this reels, I take you along for fine dining in Bangkok at the three-Michelin-starred restaurant Sühring.
This is one of the best free outings in the spring! Did you know that you can gather (or pick, for the connoisseurs 😉) oysters yourself at various locations in the Netherlands? I’m in Zeeland for a bit this weekend, and if we can make it, we’ll go again. 📍In this video, I show you where you can fill your bucket. Comment *oester* for the comprehensive guide with all the details about all 8 locations + handy tips and rules. Important to know: – Max. 10 kilos per person (≈ 1 bucket) – For personal use only – Do not scoop or scrape the seabed – Go at low tide Handy things to bring: Bucket, screwdriver, boots, work gloves, tea towel, clean clothes, and garbage bags (for the oysters *and* dirty clothes). And of course: bring an oyster knife, lemon, and champagne too 🍋🥂 Because you’ll want to taste something right away, won’t you! The oyster season runs from September to about April / early May, so now that the water isn't so cold, this is the perfect outing. In the full guide, I share exactly where you can easily find them, without much effort. Comment oyster and I'll send it to you right away! Who do you want to go oyster gathering with soon? ✖️✖️✖️ 🖊️ @anne_de_buck

32 Mulberry Street, New York – jukunyc.com

Mr. Fong's

Don't let the limited menu deter you; it makes choosing much easier. Start with the Malaysian Beef Jerkey, for example. There are plenty of drinks on the menu to extend your evening.
40 Market St, New York – mrfongs.com

Nakaji

Take a seat at a table and let Chef Kunihide Nakajima prepare a 12-course sushi omakase meal and appetizers! Yes, that means a truly delicious dinner you'll probably be dreaming about for months to come.

Big Wong

The menu boasts over seventy dishes! But if I had to choose, my favorite would be Seafood Delight: a dish with jumbo shrimp, squid, crab cakes, baby shrimp, and scallops sautéed with snow peas in a fresh garlic sauce.
67 Mott Street, New York – big-wong.com

Deluxe Green Bo Restaurant

For a classic Chinese dinner, this is the place to be. Can't finish the delicious, spicy General Tso's Chicken? Then ask for a doggy bag.
66 Bayard Street, New York – deluxegreenbo.com

Name Wah Tea Parlor

This restaurant, with the best dim sum in Chinatown, NY, has been around since 1920. Originally a tea room and bakery, it now serves Chinese tea and a fried dim sum platter. They're open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.
13 Doyers Street, New York – nomwah.com

Dim sum go go

Pop in between 11 a.m. and 9 p.m. for Dim Sum. Not just any Dim Sum, this restaurant has been mentioned several times in the Michelin Guide. Just imagine how delicious your meal will be.

golden unicorn

First of all, the restaurant's name is appealing. Founded in 1989, it was the first upscale Cantonese-style restaurant serving dim sum. Secondly, locals eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner here. When locals come to a restaurant, you know the food has to be good.
18th Broadway, New York – goldenunicornnyc.com

Ping's Seafood

Of course, you can enjoy a wide selection of fish dishes here for lunch and dinner. You should definitely do so. But if your dinner date doesn't fancy fish, there's also a selection of vegetarian, pork, chicken, and beef dishes.
22 Mott Street, New York – eatatpings.com

Noodle Village

Noodles every day for lunch or dinner, why not? At Noodle Village, the dishes are so delicious you'll come back again and again. With over a hundred dishes on the menu, you'll find something different every time.

Chinese Tuxedo

Chef Paul Donnelly and his team create the most refined, traditional Chinese dishes for dinner. Fun fact: the restaurant is located in the former First Chinese Theatre in New York.
5 Doyers Street, New York – chinesetuxedo.com

456 Shanghai Cuisine

This might just be the best dim sum in Chinatown, NY. Next time I'm here, I'll go for the Chef's Special: Fried Yellow Fish with Tofu Skin. For lunch, or dinner, or both ;).
69 Mott St A, New York – 456shanghainyc.com

Hwa Yuan Szechuan

Get ready for savory, authentic Sichuan dishes from Chef Chen Lien Tang. You simply must try the legendary sesame noodles. Plan your visit for lunch or dinner.

Great NY Noodletown

Noodles for breakfast? I think it's perfectly acceptable. But you can also have lunch here. From shrimp with walnuts to sweet and sour chicken with noodles: the selection is extensive.
28 Bowery, New York – greatnynoodletown.net

Hop Kee

From 11 a.m. until after midnight (to round off a wild night), you can enjoy spicy and less spicy Chinese dishes here. Try egg foo young, chop suey, or choose one of the specials on the menu.
21 Mott Street, New York – hop-kee-nyc.com

Nha Trang One

Fancy something other than Chinese? At the cozy family restaurant Nha Trang One, you can enjoy Vietnamese dishes. Choose from a wide variety of pho: traditionally made noodles with chicken or beef broth.

Joe's Ginger

Here you can enjoy authentic Shanghainese cuisine, known for its rich, spicy sauce made with soy and wine. This sauce makes the flavors more intense than in other Chinese cuisines. I think I'll go for the popular cold dish, Scallion Pancake with Braised Beef.
25 Pell Street, New York – joeginger.com

Joe's Shanghai

Joe's soup noodles are a favorite with food critics, so you can't resist trying them. The dumplings are actually called Xiao Long Boa, but that's difficult to pronounce. So here they're simply called Soup Dumplings.
46 Bowery, New York – joeshanghairestaurants.com

Peking Duck House

You might just eat the best Chinese food ever here. For lunch, a snack, or dinner. Eating here is definitely on my to-do list. What do I order? The Sliced ​​Beef with Orange Flavor. Delicious!

Tasty Hand-Pulled Noodles

Make sure you're hungry. Really hungry, because the portions at Tasty Hand-Pulled Noodles are generous. This hidden gem in Chinatown isn't very big, so make sure you snag a spot early.
1 Doyers Street, New York – tastyhandpullednoodlesnyc.com

Wo Hop

Time for a late breakfast, lunch, or afternoon snack? Then I recommend Wo Hop. The menu is incredibly extensive, from different variations of Chinese omelets to oriental specials.
17 Mott Street, New York – wohopchinese.com

Xi'an Famous Foods

The dishes are warming and stimulating. The Spicy Cumin Lamb burger, for example, makes a deliciously spicy lunch dish, and the Spicy & Sour Spinach Dumplings are a delightfully spicy and sour dinner dish.
