Lowlander Botanical Bar & Restaurant Amsterdam-Noord: the best terrace in North

The founders of the Botanical Bar & Restaurant, owned by Amsterdam beer brand Lowlander, aimed to create a "botanical heaven" to complement their ever-popular drinks. At the new Lowlander Botanical Bar & Restaurant in Amsterdam-Noord, everything nature has to offer takes center stage. Think herbs, plants, vegetables, and fruit, and the interior design also revolves around natural elements. In short: the new hotspot in Amsterdam North, if only for the great terrace.

Lowlander Botanical Bar & Restaurant

A new hotspot awaits on the waterfront of the Gedempt Hamerkanaal, housed in the former shipyard warehouse that once housed Stork. Meet Lowlander Botanical Bar & Restaurant – the new lunch and dinner restaurant where it's all about beer. But before you leave, the food plays an equally important role and is carefully prepared.

Menu Lowlander Bar & Restaurant

Lowlander Amsterdam's menu is therefore diverse and original. Or, as they say, "a surprising twist on familiar classics." The chefs are convinced that even the simplest ingredients become special with the right attention, love, and creativity. And they're incredibly good at that in the Lowlander kitchen. The beetroot wellington, jackfruit rendang, and daytime kebab are all vegetarian, but the eggplant steak can also be ordered as a "real steak."

Anyone who thinks they'll go home with plenty of alcoholic beverages—it's all about beer, after all—is mistaken. Alcohol-free and low-alcohol beers are recommended with various dishes (like the artichoke hearts and candied potato terrine). Even for non-beer lovers, there's plenty of choice: botanical sodas, various lemonades, kombuchas, juices, and a wide selection of coffees and teas. Lowlander truly caters to all tastes.

Lowlander interior

Owner Frederik Kampman is proud that nothing you see at Lowlander is "really new." He's talking about the interior, snagged through flea markets and vintage shops. It was a treasure hunt, but for a good cause: everything you see is sustainable, and it makes sense. A wooden table from India, a communal pew from a Dutch church; on the one hand, they're contradictory, on the other, they all come together seamlessly. And then there's the terrace: it's fantastic, and you absolutely have to see it for yourself. So, off to Amsterdam-Noord, then.

𝗔 𝗯𝗿𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝗰𝗮𝗳𝗲́ 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝗔𝗺𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗱𝗮𝗺 𝗖𝗶𝘁𝘆? @eetcafe_de_reiger is the spot to remember. Cozy, casual, and a seasonal menu.

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.
