Ceviche may originate in South America, but we can also eat it in Amsterdam! What is ceviche again? Fresh raw fish with lots of lime, fresh herbs, and often with red onion. Delicious and so refreshing! For a South American experience in our capital, we've selected delicious restaurants serving ceviche in Amsterdam. Enjoy!
MOOD 👀, I woke up really early today and was just scrolling through my photos of Bangkok 🌴.
Then I thought: how nice would it be if we shared our booked and wishlist destinations for inspiration?
Here's a safari in Malawi & Zimbabwe 🐆 in the books with a stopover in Nairobi.
I'm also going to Paris for a few nights by train with Manuel. So excited! I'm going to visit all the Parisian clichés and more with him ✌🏼.
Also on the wishlist: China (May holiday), midweek Athens & coast (summer), London (always a good idea), Amalfi & Rome (Manuel's dream for the autumn holiday) & Japan (Christmas holiday including skiing, tips welcome☺️).
My intention for 2026 is also to plan more fun days/nights away in the Netherlands.
And I would love to go to Japan solo, but well... first I have to get back to work 😅😉.
Speaking off: happy new week!!
I'd love to daydream about your travel plans.

I have a nice garden and a nice summer day 🖤
March = the month in which my favourite Sunday markets start up again in full swing.
So my Sunday plans are quickly made: stroll along stalls, discover new food trucks and go home with a bag full of organic products or a good vintage find.
What I love about it? Every market has its own vibe.
• @feelgoodmarket for creativity and live music in Eindhoven
• Vintage heaven at @ijhallen
• @sundaymarket with creative makers and food trucks
• Curated vintage & design gems at @cabinetamsterdam
• @fairpricedvintage for scoring vintage clothing at many locations in the Netherlands
Have fun!

If you only go to one terrace in Amsterdam this weekend, make it @caferestaurant.meyer! What a great addition to the Amstelveld 😍.
Open from 10am, a very nice lunch menu, a wine list with a bottle of rosé for €20, but also olive ice cream with caviar (incredibly delicious!).
I'll be back soon to try the evening menu as well.
Tip: you can make a reservation on the terrace!
And did I mention there's a playground next door?
Have a nice weekend 😘

My fav spot for freddo cappuccino in Amsterdam that transports me back to Greece.
Add a slice of spanakopita and you have the best breakfast to enjoy along the Amstel river.
My motto for the coming spring is to take more walks, so expect a lot of recs for coffee and other drinks to go in this new series! ☀️
Where should I go next?

The first weekend in Amsterdam that actually feels like spring? I can't wait to spend time on the terrace this weekend and just cycle around town and go to the market for some shopping in the sun :-) 🌞.
YES dears; I'm back from vacation and fully ready for Dutch spring, long lunches and spontaneous dates with my favorite city Amsterdam.
This weekend is packed with fun things to do! From an Italian market in West with @zicami_market, to the @tableware.amsterdam pop-up sale, treasure hunting at the @ijhallen and the @nocknock.art fair. There's something for every day!
And is it just me, or is the wave of new restaurant openings huge this year? In the full weekend guide I keep a weekly updated list of the new places to check out.

Note to self: always leave room in your suitcase for souvenirs. During my ski trip to Méribel, I popped into the local pharmacy just before leaving, and these are the beauty products I took home.
They've been tested extensively and are all more than YLBB-approved. Save them for your next trip to France (or your online beauty store).
Which souvenirs always make it back in your suitcase? I'm curious!

Looking for a stylish winter sports destination in France? Méribel is one of those places where everything is perfect: beautiful ski-in/ski-out hotels, excellent restaurants on and off the slopes, wonderful spas, and, if you're feeling energetic, après-ski.
I was there for a weekend without my little FAM, but I knew straight away: this is also perfect for the whole family thanks to the many green and blue slopes, so we will definitely go back!

Taking the train to your ski holiday? I say go for it! Door-to-door via Paris (Eurostar + TGV + bus) to Méribel in just over 10 hours. I found it very relaxing!
And of course it would be even more fun to add a night in Paris to it next time.
Save these tips if you're a winter sports lover like me 🫶🏼.

While I'm currently hopping from hotel to hotel and neighborhood to neighborhood in Bangkok (all in the name of “research” and new food hotspots for the new LITTLE BLACK BOOK 😉). Back home, Amsterdam is serving peak weekend vibes.
Think: Dim Sum Sunday in Noord, vibrant Chinese New Year celebrations across the city and a Vietnamese Tết feast at @yen.diningbar. Add market gems like the @le.temps.perdu.brocante pop-up in Oud-West and @themakermarket at De Hallen, and your weekend basically plans itself.
And yes, make time for ARTIS: there are now two elephant calves and they're too cute. 🐘🐘 Instant serotonin incoming, I promise!

Still so glad we had a rather spontaneous elopement wedding in Thailand with just the three of us during the Christmas holidays instead of staying engaged forever ❤️. I would do it again in a heartbeat!
Happy V-day 😘

The new lunar year begins on February 17th, and in the Netherlands, Chinese New Year (as you might know it) is becoming increasingly celebrated.
From lion and dragon dances in The Hague and on @dezeedijk in Amsterdam to full-on Oriental dinners at @rongastrobar. Looking for something creative? Check out the weekend full of workshops and a fun photo booth at the Wereldmuseum in Amsterdam and Rotterdam.

Shefishe: From the first and only real cevicheria in the Netherlands With a choice of no fewer than six (!) different ceviches. Along with it, you can order amazing bread with their famous Sjefietshe butter, fish cakes, waffles with crème fraîche and caviar. Want even more? Then go for the catch of the day: mussels with langoustine sauce, or fried pulpo.
Van Ostadestraat 1, Amsterdam – sjefietshe.nl
Nazka PeruOn the same street as Sjefietshe, but a bit further down the road, you'll find Nazka Peru. A Peruvian fine dining restaurant serving the best Peruvian cuisine has to offer. Set aside an evening for it, bring your loved one or best friend, and enjoy!
Van Ostadestraat 354, Amsterdam – nazka.nu

Nazka Peru
Bam BoaInstagram paradise Bam Boa not only serves a beautiful backdrop for photos, but also tiradito (there it is again) of sea bream. The menu features about twenty smaller dishes to share. Not only Instagram-proof, but also incredibly delicious.
Weesperzijde 135, Amsterdam – bam-boa-amsterdam.com
Mussel and Gin: Not only are the shrimp croquettes and lobster croquettes delicious, but the ceviche is also one to remember. Along with your glass of white wine, order the ceviche tartare of whitefish, mussels, mango, and coconut. Mmm, this combination can't go wrong!
Gosschalklaan 12, Amsterdam – mosselengin.nl
ParallelImagine yourself in modern Spain at Parallel at the end of the Overtoom. The interior is beautiful and thoughtful (hello wood with concrete-look walls and black steel, we love you!), and the finest Spanish dishes are conjured up from the bowls. Highly recommended!
Overtoom 495-497, Amsterdam – parallel.amsterdam
PikoteoAt Pikoteo, they don't serve "real" ceviche, but their cousin, tiradito. The difference? The fish is sliced instead of cubed and mixed with the other ingredients just before serving. Just as delicious!
Houtmankade 9, Amsterdam – pikoteo.nl
SJAS: The charming SJAS was opened by two friends on Chassestraat. It's a wonderful spot for all-day dining, with a consistently pleasant atmosphere and delicious dishes. Perfect for a beer, a quick bite, or a leisurely meal.
Chassestraat 62, Amsterdam – Sjasamsterdam.nl
The Lobby Fizeaustraat: One of my absolute favorites in the city is The Lobby, both the city center location and the East location on Fizeaustraat. They're great for brunch, lunch, and dinner, but the ceviche at the East location is especially amazing!
Fizeaustraat 1, Amsterdam – fizeaustraat.thelobby.nl

The Lobby Fizeaustraat
Casa Perú: For years, Casa Peru, along with its sister restaurant Mashua, was the only Peruvian restaurant in the city. Things have changed since then (and Mashua has closed), but that shouldn't spoil the fun. The ceviche de pescado on the menu is highly recommended. Made with fresh sea bass in leche de tigre with a thin sauce of lemon juice, pureed onion, red pepper, fresh cilantro, and roasted Peruvian corn.
Leidsegracht 68, Amsterdam – casaperu.nl
Brine: Salmuera is a restaurant on Rozengracht canal featuring Argentinian cuisine with a modern twist. Here you'll find plenty of grilled meats and a ceviche bar with no fewer than five types of ceviche on the menu! It's the perfect spot for an evening with friends to enjoy and share everything!
Rozengracht 106, Amsterdam – sal-amsterdam.nl
Roses by Sal: Rose's Cantina has been around for over 30 years on Reguliersdwarsstraat in the at the center Amsterdam. Originally a Mexican restaurant, it now serves food from all over Latin America, and the menu features no fewer than three types of ceviche. It's also a great place to start a night out.
Reguliersdwarsstraat 40, Amsterdam – roses-amsterdam.nl
Brut de Mer: At this hotspot on Gerard Douplein in the Pijp district, you can find oysters and bubbly to kick off the weekend. And ceviche too. A place for true fish lovers, that's for sure.
Gerard Douplein 8, Amsterdam – brutdemer.nl
