Eetcafé Edita Amsterdam: a place that takes you to Southern Europe for an evening

Emma

 

June 28, 2024

Eetcafé Edita Amsterdam was meant to be a place where you're reminded of wonderful moments with friends, preferably during a summer vacation in a Mediterranean region. Take the South of France, for example, a place where summer evenings seem to last forever. Owner Anna Meyer drew inspiration from this and opened Eetcafé Edita (Amsterdam West), named after her grandmother.

Why you want to experience the flavors of Eetcafé Edita

Anna Meyer is only 29 years old, but she's known for a long time that she wanted to open a restaurant. And so it happened: Edita has recently become a reality—a fixture in Amsterdam-West, to be precise. And that's no surprise, because at Eetcafé Edita, the sun always seems to shine, and the ambiance makes you forget all your worries. It's the perfect place for an aperitif (including original Mexican cocktails) or for an evening of dining, as Southern Europeans are so good at.

Despite her young age, the owner has considerable experience. She worked for years as a waitress at the Michelin-starred restaurant De Kas in Amsterdam-Oost. When she told the chef she dreamed of owning her own restaurant, he urged her to create a good atmosphere, as that's what she excels at. She took his advice to heart, and Anna now works as a hostess at her restaurant.

Menu Eetcafé Edita Amsterdam

While almost every new restaurant in Amsterdam offers shared dining these days, Eetcafé Edita only serves large plates—and those are the ones you'd rather keep for yourself. The appetizers—like the Egg langoustine mayo—are perfect for sharing, but the main courses are ordered individually. The melanzane will transport you to Italy, the confit black-legged chicken with seasonal vegetables and lovage will transport you to the French countryside. And believe us: no dinner is complete without the millefeuille for dessert.

Fancy a break from the city? 🍂 These are my favourite walking & drinks spots in the Netherlands. To be honest... I don't see myself living outside the city anytime soon, but on weekends I love getting out into nature. That's why I've created a YLBB shortlist of the most beautiful walking areas, complete with a great drinks spot nearby. My perfect Sunday? First a walk, then relaxing somewhere with a treat or a hot chocolate (or, of course, a glass of wine and bitterballen!). 📍From Lage Vuursche to the Waterleidingduinen and the Amsterdamse Bos, I share my favourites in this video. But... there are of course many more lovely places in the Netherlands where you can enjoy a drink after a walk. Which tip do you think is a must-see? 👇 Save this post to get out into nature this season or forward it to your walking date. 🍁 ✖️✖️✖️ 🖊️ @anne_de_buck #yourlittleblackbook #hikinginthenetherlands #drinksspot #discoveringthenetherlands #natureinthenetherlands #autumnroutes #hikingtips #dutchautumn #walks #naturewalk #weekendtips #netherlandsholiday #drinks #outdoorlife #amsterdamweekend #thingstodonetherlands #yourlbb
Forget the classic omakase experience in Amsterdam, this is something else. Hidden inside burger spot @paindemie_amsterdam and inspired by the Tokyo subway, you'll find @moyo_amsterdam. A new hotspot redefining the omakase concept. Chef @guillaumedebeer is behind this next-level concept, and it shows in every creative detail. But here O-toro and Wagyu take the stage 🥩. It's intimate, creative, and seriously one of the most exciting new openings in Amsterdam right now. Save this for your next special dinner night 🔥 ✖️✖️✖️ 🖊️ @anne_de_buck #amsterdam #amsterdamcity #amsterdamfoodguide #amsterdamfood #amsterdamtravel
The most beautiful l𝗶𝗰𝗵𝘁𝗳𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗮𝗹𝘀 for your 𝗡𝗲𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱 this season The days are getting shorter, the evenings longer… And honestly? I secretly think that’s one of the nicest things about this season. Because the transition from autumn to winter means: light festivals! ✨ All over the Netherlands, cities, parks and castles light up with light art, projections and installations that you’ll love to see them all. What once started with the Amsterdam Light Festival has grown into one of the most beautiful winter traditions in the country, if you ask me! Most light festivals also offer cozy hot chocolate and food stalls for something tasty to go. Perfect for a winter evening with your loved one, family, or friends. Can you picture yourself strolling past artworks that transform streets, parks, and canals into a fairytale, with a hot chocolate or mulled wine in hand? 📍From North Holland to Gelderland, I'm sharing all the tips in a comprehensive article on Your Little Black Book, featuring the best light festivals in almost every province in the Netherlands. Trust me: this is such a special outing to brighten up the dark days. P.S. I'll also have exciting news about the @lefoodwalk at the @amsterdamlightfestival on Your Little Black Book soon!
