Romios Taverna Amsterdam: the renovated (and best!) Greek caterer in the Pijp

Greek cuisine lovers, take note! Romios Taverna Amsterdam recently reopened its doors with a revamped concept, and believe us: you'll want to experience it.

Ambience and interior at Romios Taverna Amsterdam

After a six-month renovation, the doors of Romios Taverna Amsterdam have reopened! And they didn't waste any time: the renovation of the restaurant in the Pipe has been thoroughly tackled.

Chef Nikos is eager to introduce the Dutch to authentic Greek flavors and cuisine: "My goal is to introduce people to Greek hospitality and all the flavors that Greek cuisine has to offer. My cooking is connected to childhood memories; every smell and taste takes me back in time."

Menu and dishes of Romios Taverna

At Romios Taverna Amsterdam, you can still enjoy delicious takeaway (treat yourself or your guests to their delicious Greek snacks, top-notch olive oil, and other delicacies straight from Greece). And of course, there's the taverna section, where guests can enjoy Nikos' Greek specialties all evening long. Think cold mezze like tzatziki (which you'll only find so good in Greece), dolmades, tirosalata (or spicy feta dip – a must-try, in our opinion), and artichoke salad. But the hot dishes are just as fantastic. Venture off the beaten path and savor the flavors of their garides saganaki (spicy shrimp), revithia (chickpea soup), chicken kontosouvli, or koukia me agginares; all equally delicious and special. Kali oreski en yamas!

Romios Taverna Amsterdam is perfect for a casual evening with friends

Planning a dinner party at home, or looking for a low-key restaurant to dine with friends? Then Romios is the place for you. The ouzo flows freely, the staff is super friendly, and, as mentioned, the flavors are irresistible. Success guaranteed.

MOOD 👀, I woke up really early today and was scrolling through my photos of Bangkok 🌴. Then I thought: how nice if we share our booked and wishlist destinations for inspiration? I have a safari in Malawi & Zimbabwe 🐆 in the books with a stopover in Nairobi. I'm also going to Paris for a few nights by train with Manuel. So excited! I'm going to visit all the Parisian clichés and more with him ✌🏼. Also on the wishlist: China (May holiday), a midweek trip to Athens & the coast (summer), London (always a good idea), Amalfi & Rome (Manuel's dream for the autumn holiday) & Japan (Christmas holiday including skiing, tips welcome ☺️). My resolution for 2026 is also to plan more fun day trips/nights away in the Netherlands. And I would love to go to Japan solo, but oh well... first I have to get back to work 😅😉. Speaking of which: Happy new week!! I'd love to dream about your travel plans. 😘 🖊️ @anne_de_buck

If you only go to one terrace in Amsterdam this weekend, make it @caferestaurant.meyer! What a great addition to the Amstelveld 😍. Open from 10am, a very nice lunch menu, a wine list with a bottle of rosé for €20, but also olive ice cream with caviar (incredibly delicious!). I'll be back soon to try the evening menu too. Tip: you can make a reservation on the terrace! And did I mention there's a playground next door? Have a great weekend 😘 🖊️ @anne_de_buck PS: follow @yourlbb & @yourlbb.amsterdam for more Amsterdam tips and travel guides for destinations around the world. ___________________________________________ Best terrace in Amsterdam, best new terrace in Amsterdam, lunch in amsterdam, family friendly amsterdam
My fav spot for freddo cappuccino in Amsterdam that transports me back to Greece. Add a slice of spanakopita and you have the best breakfast to enjoy along the Amstel river. My motto for the coming spring is to take more walks, so expect a lot of recs for coffee and other drinks to go in this new series! ☀️ Where should I go next? ✖️✖️✖️ 🖊️ @anne_de_buck
**Due to COVID-19, souvenirs are now available in bulk ❄️ Note to self: always keep room in your suitcase for 'souvenirs'. During my ski trip to Méribel, I popped into the local pharmacy just before leaving, and these are the beauty products I took home. I've tested them extensively and they're all more than YLBB-approved. Save them for your next trip to France (or your online beauty store). Which souvenirs always make it back in your suitcase? I'm curious! ✖️✖️✖️ 🖊️ @anne_de_buck PS: Follow @yourlbb for tons of tips to make the most of your free time — from travel tips to travel guides and more.
