Very nice and flavorful falafels in a wrap!…read more I opted for the wrap as opposed to a Turkish mini bun. I cannot emphasize this enough but the falafels had just the right amount of crunchiness and softness. Not over-fried hard crunchy at all. The toppings are fresh and crispy, too! And that's very important. This small place is located in the heart of Amsterdam, in an alley at the Nieuwendijk. The staff is friendly, too. Give it a shot. A sandwich/wrap is only €3.50 :)

Semmy's is really fantastic for a quick cheap lunch when you're blitzing through the crowds in the…read moremost touristy part of downtown Amsterdam. It's just a five minute walk from the main train station, and 4 euros will get you a fantastic durum or donor kebab. I personally prefer durum kebabs (the long, wrap style Mediterranean sandwich) but at Semmy's you absolutely have to go for the donor version of everything which is served on a huge but light and airy crusty bun. It's shaped like a kaiser roll but has the texture of a nice French baguette. My personal favorite is the donor kebab with lamb, although the lady loves the donor falafel sandwich. The fries are solid as well, although they clearly have no idea how much ketchup Americans like to use. Overall, very American friendly and the guys there are quite sociable and take pride in their product. Don't expect fast food service times, because these guys take care to slice up fresh tomatoes and cucumbers for each sandwich, and even place the ingredients strategically in the bread to make it easier to eat. Not going to lie, we came here on our second day in Amsterdam and kept coming back for four straight days.

For my first solo meal abroad ever, I wanted to grab lunch with a bit of a view and a location not…read morefar from Dam Square. That's when I fell upon De Drie Graefjes and their cozy corner location. I sat down right away and was given a menu by a waitress that didn't really want to be there and/or really dislikes Americans lol.. maybe she was tired of tourists? ANYWAY, I ordered the smoked salmon sandwich on corn bread which came with a side salad and tortilla chips. It was nothing short of amazing. The portion was HUGE and this smoked salmon was the best I had on my trip (and I just so happened to eat a ton of smoked salmon since it's a very popular brekkie/brunch option here). The corn bread, baked in house, was to die for. I shouldn't have eaten that whole sandwich, but I did... and then I moved onto the salad. The dressing on here was super fruity (maybe blueberry? Not sure, but it was delicious). Unexpected flavors but totally genius. A different and much friendlier waitress brought me my check, and then I paid. When I left, the first unfriendly waitress almost chased me out the door for not paying the check (with her) until her colleague also confirmed I had already paid. Guilty until proven innocent at this place, apparently. So, all in all, 5 stars for the food and ambiance and negative stars for the waitress who treated me like a criminal, basically lol ***FYI, I met a TON of people in Amsterdam and almost everyone was friendly and chipper. Just not that first waitress. I may or may not be salty about this still.

Came by for some pastries, a small selection in comparison to what I was expecting of an American…read moreBakery. Still fresh and friendly service. Picked up an assortment of cupcakes.
