@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.
Plus, plenty of feel-good plans: from a Korean Sunday brunch @nikotin.restobar to a kid-proof pizza nights.

Both the Pure Markt and the Sunday Market are Sunday favorites this fall. Almost every Sunday, you'll find a foodie-friendly market in a different part of the city! Meet up with friends, browse the stalls, and then find a spot to enjoy a delicious meal and drinks. Last weekend, I was back at the Pure Markt; there was such a great atmosphere!

Did you know you can pick apples near Amsterdam at several lovely pick-your-own gardens and apple orchards? It's not only fun, but believe me, that apple pie tastes even better after you've really put in the effort.

I'm often asked how we're saving for the world trip. One of the things I always do in the fall is thoroughly clean out my closet and sell everything I no longer wear at the IJ-hallen. On the NDSM Werf This is the largest monthly flea market in the Netherlands. Why do I always go to the IJ-hallen in the fall? Then the market is indoors and therefore rainproof! This fall, the market is back with various dates. Book a stall and sell your "trash." Or get there early and look for pre-loved tr(e)ashures! View all dates via the website >>
Especially now that the days are getting shorter, I can recommend it to everyone: start your day with a walk, and you'll notice you'll have so much more energy all day long. During lockdown, I truly rediscovered Amsterdam (and the surrounding area!) on all the walks. That's why there's a dedicated walk on Your Little Black Book. walking file Created, if I may call it that. From city walks to my favorite nature reserves to escape the city for a while.

Every time I'm in Amsterdam Noord, I think: I really need to go here more often. There are so many great hotspots, and the food scene is still thriving, in my opinion.

They'll even be moving to a new location soon, where they'll also be opening a restaurant at the end of September. I'll tell you more about that soon!

The changing seasons at the Waldorf always mean the launch of a new afternoon tea. Mark your calendars now: the Festive Afternoon Tea will be back in early December. Check out our list of the best afternoon teas in Amsterdam >>
When the weather gets colder, there's nothing I enjoy more than a long, leisurely weekend lunch at a truly good restaurant. A multi-course lunch with wine or another celebratory drink. I'll spend the entire afternoon dining and only head home around dinnertime. Because not all good restaurants in Amsterdam are open for lunch, I've compiled a long list of my favorite restaurants where you can also enjoy lunch. Most restaurants serve lunch from Friday to Sunday. Great with friends, family, your date, or if you have babysitting for the kids! View all tips for an extensive lunch in Amsterdam here >>
