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 :)

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.

The food is really very tasty and the restaurant overlooks the main entrance to the Museum across the courtyard. My wingman and I sat, while enjoying a Kaffee and pastry. We enjoyed watching people walk in the drizzle. Always fun to see who puts up an umbrella and those who rough it. LOL Besides Pastries, Coffee, Teas and soft drinks, they offer both cold and warm meals and sandwiches. The day we were here, they had a fish dish, Scandinavian meatballs and a beef dish of some kind, served in a buffet cafeteria style. Given the US Dollar $trength versus the €uro, expect to pay €10 or so, VAT included for a full Lunch. My coffee and pastry ran me $4.39, which I thought was a pretty good deal.

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.

Take it easy at Razmataz or Hugo's and don't you dare to rush to the Albert Heijn to collect stuff for tonight's dinner. Just buy your meal at Kemang, the latest kid on the square. Kemang is the name of a district in Jakarta. It refers to the city where the family of one of the owners was born. The other owner, Khalid, is of Moroccan descent. The result of this multicultural fusion is an inviting takeaway where Khalid serves good food made by his wife's Indonesian aunt. The smoor, a sweet beef stew, matches wonderfully with the stir-fried pak choi. In the mood for stir-fried greens (kousenband) with tofu and tempeh? Merge it with ajam pedis! Kemang's spicy chicken thighs are genuinely spicy to some, but 'friendly spicy' to me - a Dutch-Indonesian. Besides that it's ultra fresh due to the djeroek poeroet, lemon leaves. Exotic food at a reasonable price served with a huge smile.
