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. 🤤 ✖️✖️✖️ 🖊️ @anne_de_buck { one of the best authentic Japanese restaurants in Amsterdam serving premium sushi omakase in De Pijp }
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
𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲'𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗽𝗼𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 These are those few magical weeks each year when the city suddenly feels different. Everything is in bloom and all you want to do is be outside. Coffee to-go in hand, and just head out as soon as the sun shows up. 📍 Bloesempark – Amsterdamse Bos (the classic, yes it gets busy, but totally worth it) 📍 Rijksmuseum 📍 Fruit Garden of West 📍 Westerpark 📍 Jozef Israëlskade 📍 WG site 📍 Nelson Mandelapark 📍 Bos en Lommerplantsoen 📍Amstelpark By mid-April most of the sakura will already be gone, so if you want to catch it: this is your moment. I'll definitely be doing a few more rounds before it's over. ✖️✖️✖️ 🖊️ @anne_de_buck _______________________________________________ 🌸 Discover the best places to spot cherry blossom in Amsterdam and enjoy the sakura in full bloom. 🌸

Tula Cantina

The ever-popular Coba has a new little brother where you can go all day long: Tula Cantina AmsterdamThe menu and dishes at Tula are just as promising as those of its older sister.

MasMais

Mexican food is much more than just tacos. That's why the owners of the well-known MasMais Taqueria have also opened MasMais Marisqueria. Here you can enjoy fish and seafood with a Mexican twist. How about a grilled fish taco or a shrimp quesadilla? You can also finish your meal with a delicious cocktail to stay in the mood.
Admiral de Ruijterweg 273 & Hoofdweg 456, Amsterdam – masmais.nl

Ugly

Chef Christian Motte brings Peruvian cuisine to Amsterdam with his Moche restaurant. Moche Amsterdam is undoubtedly the hotspot in Amsterdam East where you can dine and enjoy the most delicious ceviche our capital has to offer. In the building we still remember from Mr. and Mrs. Watson (a vegan restaurant), you can now enjoy Modern Ceviche; Moche.
Linnaeuskade 3, Amsterdam – moche.nl

Lupe

Authentic Mexican dishes and unique cocktails—doesn't that sound like music to your ears? At Lupe Amsterdam, your Mexican dreams come true. And no, there aren't Frida Kahlo paintings on the walls, and the windowsills aren't littered with cacti. The focus is on a great atmosphere and the best Mexico has to offer; from an extensive cocktail menu to a dinner menu that will make you hungry.
Willem de Zwijgerlaan 333, Amsterdam – lupemexmex.com

Shefishe

In Zuid, you'll find Sjefietshe, which, when it comes to ceviche, is just as good as the aforementioned Moche. It started (years ago) as a pop-up restaurant. It was so successful that they soon opened their first full-fledged location. Since then, it's been a huge success, and almost everyone in Amsterdam has been introduced to their excellent ceviche and other South American seafood dishes.

Bacalar

Dining at Bacalar is a real treat – if you can snag a spot, that is. Reservations are made well in advance, but you'll be rewarded. At Bacalar, you'll truly feel like you're in a different world – one with unique flavors and matching cocktails.
Chrysantenstraat 4, Amsterdam – bacalar.amsterdam

nazka

At Nazka in Zuid, you'll find all the specialties of Peru and the surrounding area; from pisco cocktails to ceviche and everything in between. Peruvian cuisine is renowned for its diverse flavors (thanks in part to influences from Japanese, Chinese, Creole, and Andean cuisines), and all of these can be found at Nazka, where the dishes are top-notch. A mention in the Michelin Guide speaks for itself.

Sins or Sal

At Sins of Sal, you'll briefly feel transported to another world—an underworld, to be precise. This establishment knows its stuff when it comes to spicy cocktails and matching dishes, but they also know their way around natural wines. In fact, they even make sangria with them. Dinner is also a special occasion: you can enjoy deliciously prepared soft-shell crab, oysters, tacos, dumplings, and spare ribs.

brine

At Salmuera, we're not just in love with the super cozy courtyard. We also love the menu. They give Argentinian cuisine a modern twist. Quesadillas and empanadas are on the menu, as well as excellent steaks and, of course, ceviche.
Rozengracht 106, Amsterdam – sal-amsterdam.nl

eighth Street

Calle Ocho in De Pijp is named after the main street of Little Havana in Miami. Because it's where everything comes together: Cuban immigrants and immigrants from Central and South America. And this mix, from Cuba to Argentina, can be found at Calle Ocho. Think tequila, ceviche, and lots of delicious salsas!
Albert Cuypstraat 226I, Amsterdam – calle-ocho.nl

CASA PERU 

Casa Peru is Mashua's sister restaurant, meaning even more delicious Peruvian food. The ceviche de pescado on the menu is highly recommended. Made with fresh sea bass and a thin sauce of onion pureed in lemon juice, red pepper, fresh cilantro, and roasted Peruvian corn. Heaven on a plate!
Leidsegracht 68, Amsterdam – casaperu.nl

Fiona

Fiona Amsterdam is located on Warmoesstraat, in the heart of Amsterdam. Mexico's most famous female chef, Zahie Téllez, was the main inspiration for this new restaurant. This results in spareribs, tacos, ceviche, and more of the good things her homeland has to offer.
