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. 🤤

@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” 😉

21 Food & Drink Hotspots in Lisbon You Want to Know
pharmacyNot new, but this Lisbon hotspot remains a great place to be. A restaurant with an original concept. This former hospital in the Chiado district houses this now-hip restaurant where you can share dishes and enjoy excellent cocktails. We love shared dining! Here, they pay attention to detail: butter is served in a medicine jar, water in a cough syrup bottle, and appetizers in test tubes. There's also a large green garden, creatively decorated with a variety of chairs, where you can relax with a cocktail in the evening sun.
Mold. Saldanha 1, 1200-012 Lisboa, Portugal – Facebook page
Cantina LXThis hotspot is located on the LX Factory site in the Alcántara district. The restaurant has a cool and unique interior. You can enjoy delicious, simple, authentic Portuguese dishes here. Try the octopus or the locally caught tuna steak!
Rodrigues de Faria 103, 1300-501 Lisboa, Portugal – Facebook page
Lost in: Esplanada BarUnlike many other rooftop bars, this spot isn't sleek and minimalist, but cozy and inviting with a splash of color. Think pink parasols and green and purple decorative cushions. Above the cheerful chairs and tables, large overhanging trees provide shade. Order a cocktail and dream away!
Rua D.Pedro V Nº56-D, 1250-094 Lisboa, Portugal – lisbonlux.com
Pois CafeA cozy café in the Alfama district with a real living room feel. The perfect place to spend the afternoon with your laptop and a large cup of coffee or fresh juice. Enjoy breakfast, lunch, or dinner!
De São João da Praça 93-95, 1100-521 Lisboa, Portugal – poiscafe.com
At CevicheriaNot entirely surprisingly, this hotspot serves fresh ceviche. You'll have to wait a bit for a table, but it's totally worth it. We absolutely recommend the six-course tasting menu. Tip: go there for lunch; you'll get a table a bit faster. But this is definitely a place you shouldn't miss on your list of Lisbon hotspots.

Moules & CoThis hotspot has a simple concept, focusing primarily on one thing: mussels. They have several locations in Portugal, and the one in Lisbon specializes in pairing mussels with beer. You can choose from various mussel preparations, such as mussels with pesto, beer, or chili, and you can pair them with one of thirty beers. Sounds good, right?

They serve salads and toast, but you can also get coffee and chocolate cake. And believe me, it's delicious! Fun fact: in Portugal, they have a saying that the bill hurts like a pebble in your shoe. That's why at this restaurant, they bring the bill in a shoe with a small pebble in it.

EndThis hotspot requires a bit of a dedication – it's located on the other side of the Tagus River – but it's definitely worth it. Take the ferry from Cais do Sodré to Cacilhas to reach it. They serve truly authentic Portuguese food. Ask about the catch of the day and try one of their excellent bottles of wine. Enjoy the view of the river, the fishing boats, and Lisbon in the distance!
Do Ginjal 72, Almada, Portugal – Facebook page
