@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 Centre
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!

A cookbook from Grandma. 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 do not cook based on trends; they cook from 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 pie
🍴 Dry aged Duck
TIP: If you go to Sühring, reserve the seats at the kitchen bar so you have a view of the chefs at work!

In this reels I take you along for fine dining in Bangkok at the three Michelin starred restaurant Sühring.
This is one of the nicest free outings in the spring! Did you know that you can gather (or pick, for the connoisseurs 😉) oysters yourself in various places in the Netherlands? I’m in Zeeland for a bit this weekend, and if we can, we’ll go again.
📍In this video, I show where you can fill your bucket.
Comment oester for the comprehensive guide with all 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 soil
– Go at low tide
Handy to take with you:
Bucket, screwdriver, boots, work gloves, tea towel, clean clothes and garbage bags (for the oysters and dirty clothes).
And of course: also bring an oyster knife, lemon and champagne 🍋🥂Because you want to taste something right away!
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. Leave a comment and I'll send it to you right away!
Who do you want to go oyster collecting with soon?

From a free event to try new Limited Subs at @ijveramsterdam to slow mornings, a market stroll (or two), maybe finally ticking off that new restaurant that's been on your list for weeks… and ending somewhere with a good glass of wine while telling yourself “just one more” 😉

It wouldn't be Amsterdam if the weekend wasn't packed with plans. Spring is in the air and I feel like new hotspots are popping up all over the city. HELLO @ottolenghi & @ottolenghi_amsterdam :-)
And yes, market season is officially back. Think vintage finds, design treasures and sunny terrace stops in between.

39 Casual Restaurants for a Weekday Dinner Date
Barracuda
This is a casual restaurant, no doubt about it. They have a unique approach: each table receives a menu where you can select which dishes you'd like to have. From ricotta toast and scallops in white wine to fennel with sea aster. Hand in your piece of paper, and before you know it, it'll be on the table. Open Wednesday through Saturday for dinner, and Friday and Saturday for lunch as well. The ideal spot for fish lovers looking for a relaxing getaway.
Aambeeldstraat 10, Amsterdam – barracuda.amsterdam
Le Trout
Oh, Bosboom Toussaintstraat, you're so beautiful! Here you'll find Le Forel – a French bistro in Amsterdam with fresh fish daily and a menu that adapts to the current demand. They still have a few classics, such as specialties like lobster mac & cheese, sole meunière, and classic bisque.
Bosboom Toussaintstraat 70, Amsterdam – leforel.nl
Bar Bonnie
So many people love Bar Bonnie that they've expanded into the building next door. It's a cozy place seven days a week, and everyone feels welcome—a true neighborhood bistro. Come in casual attire or dress up (it's Oud-Zuid, after all); anything goes here.
Amstelveenseweg 226h, Amsterdam – bonnie.goudvisch.nl
Five Brothers Fat
This champagneria is inspired by shops in Barcelona, where the bubbles flow freely every day at a reasonable price. Order some tapas and your evening is complete.
Hobbemakade 64, Amsterdam – fivebrothersfat.nl
Spaghetteria
Spaghetteria is always a good choice, both for your stomach and your wallet! Be sure to save room for their delicious tiramisu.
Various locations, Amsterdam – spaghettiria.nl
Spaghetteria

Odette's buffet
Marble, mirrors, a charming bar, and a semi-open kitchen. Buffet van Odette looks like it came straight out of a Parisian bistro, complete with a charming canal-side terrace. They became known for their exceptionally fine lunch buffet, but it's also a great place to relax in the evening. Bistro classics with a fresh twist and a fine wine list.
Prinsengracht 598, Amsterdam – buffet-amsterdam.nl
Gitane
From early morning till late at night: at Café Restaurant Gitane in Amsterdam West, on the Jan Pieter Heijestraat, you can visit all day long. For small and large appetites, natural wine, or that much-needed caffeine fix, you've come to the right place – and of course, for a good Friday afternoon drink.
Jan Pieter Heijestraat 146, Amsterdam – restaurantgitane.nl
The Willem
The Willem We've embraced it as one of Amsterdam's favorite spots – for lunch, drinks, and dinner, you've come to the right place. And if it's sunny, you'll want to settle down on their fantastic waterfront terrace, cocktail in hand. Tip: try the yuzu spritz. On dark days? Then snuggle up by the window with a candle on the table – what a place.
Haarlemmerplein 58, Amsterdam – de-willem.nl
Neighborhood cafe De Tros
The modern interior with artistic details gives neighborhood café De Tros a very homey atmosphere. The restaurant feels like a real living room, and you can easily spend hours there. The menu features a trendy mix of typical French dishes, true classics, and delicious snacks to share. Reservations are not accepted at this East Amsterdam neighborhood café. Full? Perhaps check out their next-door neighbor, Turbo Amsterdam.
Linnaeusstraat 63H, Amsterdam – detrosamsterdam.nl
Turbo Amsterdam
Turbo Amsterdam is a nod to the favorite car of the owners of this place: the Saab Turbo. Unfortunately it is no longer made, but Turbo Amsterdam is vibrant and modern. This new place – a sister of Café De Tros, see above – is a hangout spot Where you'd love to hang out all day. Luckily, you can, because they serve coffee, brunch, snacks, dinner, and are the new go-to spot for a successful Friday afternoon drink.

Café Maxwell
In a few years it is Beukenplein It's become the place to be for great restaurants and cafes. Café Maxwell, for example, is located there, where you always feel at home. The spacious terrace offers a wonderful view of passersby. Enjoy!
Beukenplein 27, Amsterdam – maxwellcafe.nl
The Japanese
Enjoy Japanese dishes until the wee hours, with a great playlist and delicious drinks. The Japanese restaurant is pretty full every day, so arrive early or reserve a spot. And definitely order the spinach salad, chicken katsu, and salmon tataki. You can thank me later ;)
Albert Cuypstraat 228 and Bilderdijkstraat 203, Amsterdam – dejapanner.com
plek
In North on the NDSM site Pllek is one of our favorite hangouts. The food is always surprisingly good, and in the summer, you can look out over the skyline of Amsterdam.
TT Neveritaweg 59, Amsterdam – pllek.nl
Café Cook
Café Cook is a classic case of "I wish every neighborhood had this." It has the friendly atmosphere of a good local pub, great beers on tap, and simply good food.
James Cookstraat 2, Amsterdam – cafecook.nl
Shefishe
Ceviche I could eat it every day, so I was thrilled when Sjefietshe opened its doors in De Pijp! The interior alone is reason enough for me to go, as are the beautiful plates that come out of the kitchen.
Van Ostadestraat 1, Amsterdam – sjefietshe.nl

Polly Goudvisch
Polly Goudvisch is one of our favorite spots in Amsterdam-Noord. Right next to the ferry, you can relax on a huge terrace to people-watch and enjoy a Friday afternoon drink. The perfect place to kick off the weekend.
Buiksloterweg 3-5, Amsterdam – polly.goudvisch.nl
VOLT
Volt is somewhat similar to Café Cook. Always enjoyable, the terrace is inviting, and the menu offers delicious dishes, though a bit more extensive than your average neighborhood pub.
Ferdinand Bolstraat 178, Amsterdam – restaurantvolt.nl
The Singing Swan
From the minds of Wijmpje Beukers and Schotsheuvel. De Zingende Zwaan is located just behind the Overtoom, and what an oasis of tranquility on the large terrace. Pub food with French and English twists is served in the kitchen.
First Helmerstraat 250, Amsterdam – dezingendezwaan.nl
Bar Bellini
Bar Bellini is such a lovely spot with Italian influences, where you'd love to hang out on a Friday. They serve bellinis, of course, but the wine list and other cocktails are also a delight. Bellini has quickly become the go-to place for making new friends. Casual, of course...
Ferdinand Bolstraat 17, Amsterdam – barbellini.nl
Bam Boa
After over 35 years, Portuguese restaurant Girassol on Weesperzijde said goodbye to the city and made way for Insta-heavenly Bam Boa. The result is a jaw-dropping sight: it's impeccably decorated, right down to the spoonful of coffee. And yes, the menu, with around twenty smaller dishes to share, is perfect for a date night with girlfriends.

THT
Looking for a nice restaurant in Amsterdam North Or near the ferry and Central Station? THT is perfect. The large restaurant always has a spot, and with its view of the IJ River and the Amsterdam skyline, you're always comfortable. They also offer smaller dishes to share, or just keep for yourself ;)
IJpromenade 2, Amsterdam – tht.nl
City café Van Mechelen
From coffee to coffee, Van Mechelen is a place where you can spend the whole day. Let the kids run around, read the newspaper, or chat with friends.
Sloterkade 96/97, Amsterdam – stadscafevanmechelen.nl
Stacks Dinner
Stacks Diner was born from the idea of bringing American, home-style cooking to Amsterdam. It was a golden opportunity, as their popularity quickly became unprecedented. The dishes are simple and prepared just like a true American would at home: from a classic Caesar salad to crispy fish with coleslaw. The homemade cornbread is also a resounding success, as are the Bloody Mary, Dirty Martini, and Paloma.
De Clercqstraat 32, Amsterdam- stacksdiner.com
Bennies
At Bennies Amsterdam, they like to keep things simple: no menus that take fifteen minutes to choose from, leaving you overwhelmed with choices. Simple dishes made with good ingredients need little fuss, as this place proves. From sea bass ceviche to salmon tostada and burrata with bell pepper and tomato: they all shine in their simplicity. And anyone who loves natural winesYou'll be in luck at Bennies. The staff will happily recommend matching glasses (or bottles).
Helicopterstraat 28, 1059 CG Amsterdam – www.benniesrestaurant.nl
Le French Café
Opened last year Le French Café at the location of Bar Spek. The place has a cozy atmosphere, complete with typically French white tiles on the walls. For those in the know: the first place still exists and still draws full houses. JavastraatBoth establishments are packed with French classics and a relaxed atmosphere. You've come to the right place for an evening filled with French wine, champagne, and oysters, but also for a hearty lunch, dinner, or aperitif.

Mana Mana
Israeli street food is always a good idea. Fill your table with hummus, tehina, fried cauliflower, and roasted eggplant, and your evening will be perfect. Trust me.
First Jan Steenstraat 85, Amsterdam – mana-mana.nl
The speech
At La Parole in Amsterdam-West (a stone's throw from the Foodhallen, to be precise), you're likely to be served by owner Manuel Broekman. With the utmost expertise, the staff serves French classics (with a modern twist here and there). The wines are also exclusively French, as is the decor and the extensive menu. Create your own menu or be surprised by the chef's selection.
Kwakersstraat 24, Amsterdam – laparole.nl
Bathhouse
By far one of the nicest and largest new terraces in Amsterdam East is the terrace of Bathhouse at JavapleinFrom morning to evening, enjoy watching people cycle by while you enjoy the Amsterdam summer sun. What's also relaxing about BathhouseYou can make a reservation for the terrace if you want to be sure of a spot. The drinks menu is spot on, and the dinner menu is also excellent (the burger is always a favorite!). In short: a great addition to the neighborhood and a place where everyone feels at home.
Javaplein 21, Amsterdam – badhuisamsterdam.nl
Bar Restaurant 1900
Duck breast with smoked garlic puree (!), cauliflower with tahini yoghurt, poké bowl with salmon, crispy chicken baos with kimchi mayo and so on: the menu at Bar Restaurant 1900 is full of delicacies that you want to sink your teeth into right away.
Hogeweg 48, Amsterdam – barrestaurant1900.nl
Café Restaurant Amsterdam
Steak tartare! Shrimp croquettes! Oysters! No matter what day of the week it is, at Café Restaurant Amsterdam (Cradam to those in the know), it's always a party.

LouLou Pizzabar
For the tastiest pizza on the terrace I go to East always to LouLouThe terrace at the Weesperzijde has thankfully become much bigger since the takeover of the business next door. The pizzas are incredibly delicious and you can choose from ancient dough of gluten-free dough (made with a unique blend of pea flour, rice flour, and cornmeal). I can tell you: it's one of the few places where I eat every last pizza crust ;-). It's also a great place for a quick, early bite with the kids. pizza with bunny ears remains a hit.
Weesperzijde 42A, Amsterdam – louloupizzabar.nl
BAUT East
You say Wibautstraat then you say BAUT EastThis restaurant is a household name, and especially when it comes to the sunny terrace, you're always in luck. Enjoy a leisurely dinner or simply enjoy drinks. The advantage of the large terrace? There's almost always a spot available!
Wibautstraat 125, Amsterdam – bauoost.nl
Vooges on the IJ
Remember Vooges, the delightful restaurant with a very cozy atmosphere? This establishment is making a comeback, this time on the IJ River. On the rustic terrace, you can enjoy the warm rays of sunshine with a delicious lunch and a lovely glass of wine. Inside, the restaurant is perfect for an intimate date. The cozy interior is ideal for a romantic tête-à-tête with your partner. Its unique location makes Vooges aan het IJ an ideal spot for any occasion.
Westerdoksdijk 40H, Amsterdam – vooges.nl
Mussel & Gin
Mussels are always a good idea! Especially those with fennel and Roquefort (yes, really, a killer combo) or the Thai version. Even better with a gin and tonic; it's such a great way to break up the week.

Calle Ocho is a mix of Mexico, Cuba, Miami, and everything in between. The music and food create a vibe like something out of the movie Chef, and chances are you won't want to leave after your meal.
Albert Cuypstraat 226, Amsterdam – calle-ocho.nl
Bar Central
Wine and food, what more could you want? At Bar Centraal – the little brother of Gurgling In De Pijp – drink your vin nature. You have to like it, but once you're a fan, you won't want to go back!
Ten Katestraat 16, Amsterdam – barcentraal.nl
