Taka Ramen Gelderlandplein: the new hotspot for ramen in Amsterdam South

Window lovers in Amsterdam South They can't believe their luck, because Taka Ramen Gelderlandplein has recently opened its doors. And that's reason enough for a visit.

Taka Ramen Gelderlandplein is the new hotspot of Buitenveldert

A few weeks ago, right next to the Gelderlandplein shopping center, Taka Ramen & Street Food opened its doors – a brand-new ramen hotspot in Amsterdam-Zuid. Owner Taka is a true connoisseur, and brought his love of ramen with him from Japan. When he came to the Netherlands in 2008, he desperately missed the high-quality ramen from his home country. He couldn't find truly good ramen anywhere, he thought, so he moved back to Tokyo within a year. Reunited with his favorite meal, he worked in various restaurants to perfect his ramen skills. Three years later, he returned to our capital with a mission: to introduce Amsterdam to traditional Japanese ramen. He worked for several years as a renowned chef at Dun Yong Kitchen, you know: that fantastic restaurant on a side street of Geldersekade, and now he has his own restaurant.

Menu Taka Ramen Gelderlandplein

Let's be clear: even if you don't live near Taka Ramen Gelderlandplein, it's worth the bike or metro ride. Taka is arguably the best ramen chef in the country, and the places where he's in the kitchen always have a line.

Don't let the name of this restaurant confuse you, because Taka makes more than just ramen. The menu also features other Japanese and Asian dishes, such as gyoza, karaage, kimchi, takoyaki, yakisoba, and edamame. Among the regulars – Taka has built up a following in no time – the tori gyoza are a favorite, as is the classic miso ramen. And while ramen is often made with pork or chicken broth, Taka also has plenty of options for vegetarians: the veggie ramen is made with a vegetarian miso broth. Complete your evening (or lunch) with mochi for dessert, and you'll briefly feel like you're in Japan.

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
