Somm Bistro Weesp: nice wine bar and bistro with fine wines

Officially Weesp falls under the municipality Amsterdam (much to the chagrin of several Weesp natives), and that's why we think the recently opened Somm Bistro Weesp deserves a spot on our Amsterdam hotspot list. This new bistro meets wine bar is owned by a well-known name in the hospitality industry: Sascha Holzkämper, former sommelier for Gordon Ramsay. He loves good wines like no other, but without too much fuss. Because, he believes, a good wine complements every dish.

Come visit Somm Bistro Weesp

Traveling to Weesp is worth it, because there's a good chance you'll taste wines at Somm Bistro Weesp that you've never tasted before. There are no wine pairings, but they do offer good wines that complement any dish. "Asking which wine goes with the food is disrespectful to the wine," the restaurant owner explained to the Parool newspaper.

By the way, the name might sound familiar. For the past few years, Sascha owned the wine bar SOMM in De Baarsjes. There was no room for expansion, so he decided to seek his fortune in Weesp.

Menu Somm Bistro

Ordering what you like, that's what Somm is all about. Yet, the sommelier is known for surprising his guests. So if you generally enjoy a full-bodied Chardonnay, he might offer something completely different, but with a corresponding flavor. That seems to be the sport of a sommelier—it keeps the job exciting. Somm caters to all wine connoisseurs and those who simply want to enjoy a good glass of wine. Prices range from €36 to €1500 per bottle, and the goal is to eventually feature over 350 wines on the menu. Glasses start at €6. For dinner, they improvise with readily available, fresh ingredients, meaning the menu changes regularly. The emphasis is on wine, but there's certainly food to match. In short: a culinary bistro with a twist, one you'll happily travel to Weesp for. Just make sure you have a designated driver or a taxi home, because you won't stay sober.

Come with me to get breakfast in Taipei 🥢

Straight from the airport to this little place to taste soup dumplings and so much more! That's what I call a soft landing 😉 <3

In Taipei, you go to a Soy Milk Shop for breakfast. Warm soy milk to eat in a bowl, and steam baskets with the tastiest dumplings and baozi. You can really wake me up for this kind of breakfast. These local breakfast spots come in all shapes and sizes, from Michelin-recommended spots to hole-in-the-wall stalls.

Most soy milk shops open early (and sometimes even 24 hours a day), and these are the dishes you want to try:
🥄 Warm soy milk
🥢 Soup dumplings (you can often choose between pork and veggies)
🥢 Pork baozi
🥢 Youtiao (油條 - a kind of fried donut stick)
🥢 Youtiao (油條) w/ pork floss & rice
🥢 Turnip cake
🥢 Chives pancake
🥢 Scallion pancake

TIP: Sharing is a good idea to taste as much as possible, because the portions are (often) large.

You'll want to remember these soy milk shops for your future trip to Taipei:
📍Fuhang Soy Milk
📍Soy Milk Shop
📍Yong He Soya Milk King (Da'an)
📍Sihai Soy Milk

I am currently touring Taiwan, and you can also find all the tips in my Stories Highlight.

Have you ever been to Taiwan? I'm curious if you thought it was *that* amazing!

Just back from Catalonia and I thought: I'll share some tips right away.

During our road trip, we stayed two nights in the Ebro Delta. An incredibly fun stop for families and foodies, where there is plenty to do.

• A boat trip to the Musclarium is a must! Here you eat oysters and mussels straight from the farm, in the middle of the sea.

· Admire the flamingos and black ibises that can be found here all year round.

· Rice is grown in the Ebro Delta all year round. For paella, but Kensho also makes sake and miso from it! You can visit them during a tasting.

Cycling along the rice fields, canoeing on the Ebro River, and visiting various beaches. It was still a bit too cold right now, but there is plenty to do.

• The towns are very low-key and not that exciting, but you can find fantastic local food there. From the Michelin-awarded Les Moles* to local eateries like Vermuteria Bonmarisc and Lo Tinglado. We ate a lot of fish, but also anemone fritters (a first!).

Now back to work, and I’m going to create an extensive travel guide of this road trip through Catalonia, but you’ll want to save these tips for a future adventure.
