Are you going classic with carne asada & salsa verde, or do you prefer something a little different, like birria for dipping or tempura mushroom with salsa negra!?
In this guide, you'll find my favorite taco hotspots in Amsterdam, including a must-try tip for every spot 🍴
📍 @masmais.taqueria (West)
🌮 Favorite: tuna tostada & sea bass ceviche
Perfect if you love Mexican food with a focus on seafood, great cocktails, and a laid-back cantina vibe. It feels like being in Mexico for a moment, right in Amsterdam West.
📍 @tacos.lasinaloense (Ten Katemarkt & Albert Cuypmarkt)
🌮 Favorite: create your own taco & go all in on salsa
Street-style tacos the way they're meant to be: handmade tortillas, slow-cooked steaks, and choosing your own spice level.
📍 @madre.amsterdam (Jordaan)
🌮 Favorite: birria quesatacos & tempura mushroom tacos
A plant-based Mexican restaurant that proves just how flavorful vegetarian food can be. Comfort food with a twist, and perfect for sharing.
📍 @bacalar.amsterdam (North)
🌮 Favorite: octopus taco
Still one of my favorites in Noord, with a great terrace too. Raw setting, huge on flavor. Weekend lunch here is my favorite! Definitely ask for the specials.
On 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗲𝗯𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗯𝗼𝗼𝗸.𝗺𝗲 you'll find the complete guide with the 16 best taco spots in Amsterdam.
Do you have a taco spot I really need to try?

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.

This is your ticket to Japan without taking a plane 🥢
@tewatashi.ams in De Pijp serves an authentic Edo-Mae Sushi Experience and is super consistent in their quality.
It's the place we keep going back to when we have something to celebrate <3.
In this video I'm sharing the 2 hour experience in 60 seconds.
Still dreaming about the buttery ika nigiri. 🤤

At this cozy bar in the Pijp they serve tasty small snacks to share, and they have delicious bellinis on the menu.
Ferdinand Bolstraat 17, Amsterdam – barbellini.nl
Window33
This hotspot in the Pijp district is always pleasantly busy, and kicking off the weekend with a delicious G&T or a Moscow Mule doesn't seem like a bad way to start, right? It's also a great place for lunch with friends.
First van der Helststraat 42, Amsterdam – window33.nl
Drinks in Amsterdam // Amsterdam East
Le French Café
This French bistro's menu is packed with the best of France, making you feel like you're in Paris. It's a cozy bar for endless drinks and has a lovely terrace. They also have a delicious appetizer menu so delicious you might even skip the main course for dinner.
Javastraat 42, Amsterdam – lefrenchcafe.nl
Gilding Unicorn
If you've never been to this hotspot in East, you need to go soon. The garden location remains unique in the summer. But it's also a great place for drinks in the winter!
Ringdijk 58, Amsterdam
Louie Louie
The staff here is ready to serve you from 10:00 AM. It might be a bit early to start with drinks (but if you do choose to do so – we don't judge – a nice breakfast wouldn't hurt either).
Linneausstraat 11, Amsterdam – louielouie.nl
Bar Bukowski
At this East hotspot, they're already busy from early in the morning. You might normally only go there in the evening, but it's also a great place to meet up with friends during the day.

Bar Bukowski
Drinks in Amsterdam // Amsterdam-West
September Amsterdam
At September, they maintain a simple and uncluttered approach, and that's reflected in the wine list and menu. They also use seasonal and local ingredients and serve a new menu each time.
Baffinstraat 1, Amsterdam – septemberamsterdam.nl
The Foodhallen
The G&T bar in the Foodhallen is still highly recommended for drinks with friends. Get there early to secure a spot, and be sure to try the dim sum and Vietnamese street food while you're there!
Bellamyplein 51, Amsterdam – foodhallen.nl
The Canary Club
Enjoy cocktails upstairs by the pool or simply relax with a drink at the bar. Meet up with friends first, and then catch a movie together at the Filmhallen!
Bellamyplein 51, Amsterdam
Caravan
Karavaan might just have the best terrace in Amsterdam. In the summer, you can enjoy the sunshine, and in the winter, they have a heated terrace where you can enjoy a refreshing drink.

At the Biertuin, they serve simple yet oh-so-delicious dishes. Think smashed burgers, chicken and fries, and tasty snacks to pair with the freshly tapped beers.

A wonderful spot where you can enjoy a French-inspired, no-nonsense menu or a refreshing drink before dinner.
