the south of Bali is currently the most famous place for tourists to go. In Seminyak, Canggu And Kuta offers plenty to do, see, and experience. But are you curious about a different part of Bali? Then head to the north of the island, where it feels like you've entered a completely different world. Enjoy these travel tips for North Bali.

@eetcafe_de_reiger is the spot to remember.
Cozy, casual, and a seasonal menu. This one was on my list to share for a year and finally it's (almost) asparagus season again! 🤤
Another plus? Prices are very reasonable here!
📍 Eetcafé de Reiger
Jordaan, Amsterdam City Centre
Save this spot for when you're craving warm Dutch traditional dishes in the heart of Amsterdam.
And did you hear the same team took over Eetcafé van Beeren? I can't wait to go there too!

A cookbook from Grandma. 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 do not cook based on trends; they cook from 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 pie
🍴 Dry aged Duck
TIP: If you go to Sühring, reserve the seats at the kitchen bar so you have a view of the chefs at work!
Follow @yourlbb for more tips you can trust.

In this reels I take you along for fine dining in Bangkok at the three Michelin starred restaurant Sühring.

This is one of the nicest free outings in the spring! Did you know that you can gather (or pick, for the connoisseurs 😉) oysters yourself in various places in the Netherlands? I’m in Zeeland for a bit this weekend, and if we can, we’ll go again.
📍In this video, I show where you can fill your bucket.
Comment oester for the comprehensive guide with all 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 soil
– Go at low tide
Handy to take with you:
Bucket, screwdriver, boots, work gloves, tea towel, clean clothes and garbage bags (for the oysters and dirty clothes).
And of course: also bring an oyster knife, lemon and champagne 🍋🥂Because you want to taste something right away!
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. Leave a comment and I'll send it to you right away!
Who do you want to go oyster collecting with soon?

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. Coffee to-go in hand, and just head out as soon as the sun shows up.

By mid-April most of the sakura will already be gone, so if you want to catch it: this is your moment.
I'll definitely be doing a few more rounds before it's over.

This is one of those weekends where your only problem is how you're going to fit everything into this last weekend of March (yes already?!).
From a free event to try new Limited Subs at @ijveramsterdam to slow mornings, a market stroll (or two), maybe finally ticking off that new restaurant that's been on your list for weeks… and ending somewhere with a good glass of wine while telling yourself “just one more” 😉

3 x where the entire grill tip is located
Not too big,
everything within walking distance,
But plenty of nice hotspots!!
These services (and what clothing) are in the Netherlands perfuse for you to tip this line!
I've got massive spring fever, so it's time for a mini-escape: everything is within walking distance, there are lovely coffee shops, boutiques for shopping, and enough gems to discover in 48 hours ✨
Which city is at the top of your list for a spring getaway?

This is your sign to plan your next weekend brunch with friends in Amsterdam 👀
@ottolenghi_amsterdam is officially open and the new go-to hotspot for flavors of the Levant.
Open from breakfast to dinner and I can't wait to go back for a lazy weekend brunch with a table full of dishes and good conversations.

It wouldn't be Amsterdam if the weekend wasn't packed with plans. Spring is in the air and I feel like new hotspots are popping up all over the city. HELLO @ottolenghi & @ottolenghi_amsterdam :-)
And yes, market season is officially back. Think vintage finds, design treasures and sunny terrace stops in between.
Plus, plenty of feel-good plans: from a Korean Sunday brunch @nikotin.restobar to a kid-proof pizza nights.

Dolphin watching in the wild: For the best views, board a boat early in the morning with a local guide. Enjoy the sunrise as the dolphins join you on the water. Be sure to check beforehand which boats conduct these trips responsibly.

Turtle Release: Bali boasts many turtle rescue centers. The turtle eggs are brought here to hatch. The turtles are then kept in these centers for another three weeks to ensure the best chance of survival. Visit one of these centers to see the baby turtles swimming and support the rescue efforts by purchasing a ticket. Most centers also offer the release of baby turtles and will provide you with a birth certificate upon completion.
Snorkeling and diving: In northern Bali, the water along the coast is much clearer and calmer than in southern Bali. This makes it an excellent opportunity for diving or snorkeling. You can book a variety of tours that will take you to the most beautiful bays. Prefer to explore on your own? Rent snorkeling gear and head out from the shore to spot all the beautiful fish and coral.

Tip: Prefer to explore on your own? Rent a snorkel and head out from the shore to spot all the beautiful fish and coral. Most tour companies rent snorkel sets for a daily rate.

Pumutran Beach
Twin Lake: Nestled between the mountains near Munduk, you'll find two beautiful lakes. The name says it all: two lakes side by side. Book a day tour to explore the lakes or rent a scooter to explore. Along the way, there are several lookout points and photo spots where you can enjoy the most beautiful views. Stop at one of the many photo spots to take a great photo on a Bali swing. Continue your journey to the temple on the lake, where you can walk through a small park to explore the temple.
⋙ Private tour along the highlights of North Bali: Visit Twin Lake, Botanic Garden and a local market >>
Buddhist temple in Banjar: Although Bali is predominantly Hindu, there are also Buddhist temples on the island. The most beautiful and largest is the Buddhist temple of Banjar. Don't forget to bring your sarong or long pants, as you won't be allowed in with bare legs.

Buddhist temple in Banjar
Bali Botanic Garden: Set aside a day to visit Bali's botanic garden. Here you'll find the island's most beautiful trees and plants, all in one place. From bamboo forests to orchid gardens, you'll find it all here. Visiting on a weekend? Pack a picnic basket and enjoy a picnic among the locals in the park.
Visit the Botanic Garden and take the best photo at the Handar Gate: Private tour of North Bali>>
Waterfalls: Several waterfalls can be found in Northern Bali. The most beautiful, yet less well-known, waterfall is the Sekumpul Waterfall. Accompanied by a local guide, you can descend to the waterfall and take a dip in the cold water. Along the way, you can stop at various viewpoints to get a good view of the waterfall. Another beautiful waterfall is the Gitgit Waterfall. This is the highest and therefore the most famous waterfall in Bali. A guide isn't necessary for the descent to this waterfall; feel free to explore for yourself what there is to see and experience.
⋙ Take a dip in the cool waters of the Gitgit Waterfall: Join the tour to Aling Aling waterfall and Gitgit>>
⋙ Jungle vibe: Explore the hidden waterfalls in the jungle surrounding Ubud>>

Bali swing
Black beaches: A welcome change from the white, bountiful beaches we love to see on vacation. In Lovina, you can not only spot dolphins but also enjoy the beaches. The volcanic sand here gives the beaches their black color. Sit at one of the restaurants on the beach and savor fresh fish while watching the sunset.
Hot springs: Bali boasts several hot springs. Locals often go there to immerse themselves in the holy water. Bring your swimsuit and enjoy the warm waters.
⋙ Chill modes on: Relax in a natural heat source after an active hike>>
