Plato Loco Amsterdam: Caribbean cuisine in West

21 July 2015

A Tropical Atmosphere at Plato Loco in Amsterdam

Looking for a place with a tropical atmosphere? Go to Plato Loco in Amsterdam West! This
restaurant serves Caribbean dishes. Think of a traditional Dominican dish with beef, rice and beans. Sounds plain? Well, it isn’t! Even the rice is special and tastes great! Or the Jamaican meal with spicy chicken and fried banana. On the menu you will find a mix of Caribbean cuisine. So other whatever you like and create your own “Plato Loco” ;-)

A good meal comes with good drinks. Plato Loco in Amsterdam serves cocktails or homemade iced tea with mango, pineapple or coconut. That I’d like to try sometime! And good drinks come with good snacks. My favourite? The banana chips with avocado dip. Mmm! Extra nice: when the sun is shining you can sit outside on their sunny terrace. But make sure you also take a look inside. Brick walls and wooden tables combined with tropical plants, flowers and bird cages. A really cool mix!
