𝗔 𝗯𝗿𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝗰𝗮𝗳𝗲́ 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝗔𝗺𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗱𝗮𝗺 𝗖𝗶𝘁𝘆? @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 Center 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! ✖️✖️✖️ 🖊️ @anne_de_buck
A grandma's cookbook. 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 don't cook based on trends; they cook based on 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 pâté 🍴 Dry-aged Duck TIP: When you go to Sühring, reserve seats at the kitchen bar so you have a view of the chefs at work! Follow @yourlbb for more tips you can trust. ✖️✖️✖️ 🖊️ @anne_de_buck #prinvited #bangkok #michelin #relaischateaux In this reels, I take you along for fine dining in Bangkok at the three-Michelin-starred restaurant Sühring.
This is one of the best free outings in the spring! Did you know that you can gather (or pick, for the connoisseurs 😉) oysters yourself at various locations in the Netherlands? I’m in Zeeland for a bit this weekend, and if we can make it, we’ll go again. 📍In this video, I show you where you can fill your bucket. Comment *oester* for the comprehensive guide with all the 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 seabed – Go at low tide Handy things to bring: Bucket, screwdriver, boots, work gloves, tea towel, clean clothes, and garbage bags (for the oysters *and* dirty clothes). And of course: bring an oyster knife, lemon, and champagne too 🍋🥂 Because you’ll want to taste something right away, won’t you! 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. Comment oyster and I'll send it to you right away! Who do you want to go oyster gathering with soon? ✖️✖️✖️ 🖊️ @anne_de_buck

12 of the best places to eat the tastiest chicken in Amsterdam

LILLE

This place has everything we love: a vintage interior, an open kitchen, and delicious food. Yes! The poussin remains our favorite and thankfully never leaves the menu. And we're not the only ones! Don't forget to make a reservation to guarantee a spot.
Marcusstraat 52, Amsterdam – rijsel.com

The Beer Garden

Besides the juicy burgers and delicious spare ribs, you can also order a half or whole rotisserie chicken at De Biertuin. With three locations now, this spot is perfect for a cozy and affordable bite to eat with friends. I mean, half a chicken for €16,50, that's a good price these days! The chickens come straight from the rotisserie and are always cooked to perfection. And did you know that De Biertuin also regularly serves Sunday Roast? That's another tip to keep in mind! 
Linnaeusstraat, Mercatorplein & Prinsengracht, Amsterdam – debiertuin.nl

Ladybird Fried Chicken

Caviar on your chicken? At Ladybird Fried Chicken, your wildest dreams come true. This restaurant takes fried chicken to the next level, thanks to its founders and chefs who traveled the world in search of the tastiest chicken recipes. Now you can find them at Sarphatipark.
Sarphatipark 4, Amsterdam – ladybirdfriedchicken.com

Chris Kip

At Albert Cuyp Market, you'll find Chris Kip, a poulterer with a deep passion for his craft. Since 1928, this stall has been providing Amsterdam with the tastiest chicken, ready to cook at home or ready-to-eat from the spit.
Albert Cuypstraat 181, Amsterdam – chriskip.nl

Gangnam Chicken

For Korean fried chicken, Gangnam Chicken is the place to be. The chicken is crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and comes in a variety of flavorful marinades. The Soy/Garlic and Honey/Lemon are highly recommended. While dining indoors isn't really an option, it's ideal for takeout and enjoying it on a bench outside.
First Helmersstraat 251, First Van Swindenstraat 389 & NDSM Kade 10 Amsterdam – gangnamchicken.nl

You probably know The Beef Chief Amsterdam from their kitchen at the Oedipus Brewery. Unfortunately, that spot is temporarily closed until they find a new location (so you can enjoy their juicy burgers again in Amsterdam North). But if you love chicken, you'll definitely want to try their delicious chicken burger.
