We were immediately greeted by one of the co-owners and told we could sit anywhere we liked. We chose a table on the street in front. (The people watching is superb here.) We chit chatted with the other co-owner who told us he first opened a bar but then expanded into a restaurant. The interior is warm, shiny wood with black accents and has cozy feeling. We quickly had our drinks delivered and ordered an angus cheese burger and German pork schnitzel. Food came out quickly and was hot. Fries and a small salad were the sides. Everything was so tasty! The portions were large. The schnitzel was tender and the burger loaded with all of the usual fixings. Can't wait to return to this friendly, cozy, and fun pub!

Welcome to Haven Van Texel. Right at the north end of the red light district. A colleague of mine said she goes here for traditional Dutch cuisine, so let's get to the food shall we. Of course we're going to snag an order of the Croquettes. Nice bite size potato mash balls with meat in it. These ones are nice and neat with a perfect delicate crunch. Great balance of potato to meat ratio. 8.2/10 For my main event, the Stamppot. This is a rotating dish that's usually different every time. Whatever protein that's available in the market with seasonal vegetables in the mash. It's like a lovely surprise every time I visit. Today we have pork. Perfectly seasoned, the meat was fall off the bone and the mash was a delightful side. 8.7/10 The place is really nice, the tables outside do go fast during busy hours. The staff was nice enough to let us sit by at the bar so we can enjoy some drinks while we wait. I would definitely smash here again.

The Food- we only tried the "Stew For Two" which came with a bottle of red, some bread and sauces and the stew with all of the sides (Potato, Cabbage, Roasted Pear). The flavors together were wonderful. My boyfriend actually wanted to go back the next night just to get it again. Alas we have only three days in Amsterdam, and many places to try. 3.

I also tasted the spicy meat egg rolls and shrimp tempura which were all delicious. They had a nice sweet and spicy chilli sauce to dip everything in and it was really good, although service was slow, which I suppose is expected in Europe by now no? The food was great and for the price, very inexpensive. The bread that came with my soup was homemade and seriously one of the best breads I have ever had, let alone at some random pub! I also had this nice beer called Wieckse which is a nice white beer if thats your thing. The atmosphere here is very chill and easy going, good place to go with friends or for a few hours of drinking/eating and talking. Overall I say this place is nice, relaxed and I would recommend it to anyone staying or living in Amsterdam :-)

Loved checking out this farmer's market on a dreary Saturday a couple weekends ago in Amsterdam!…read more Located in the Jordaan neighborhood, this market has a history of being located in this public square since 1623, when it was renamed after the newly built Noorderkerk, a church which still stands today. Its prior name was Prisenmarkt (named after Prinsengracht (Prince canal)). The earliest version of the market sold everything from pottery, textiles, household items, second-hand goods and pigeons. There's a detailed accounting of this market's history on their website. The current iteration of the market consists of 1) a farmer's market with many local and artisanal producers of farm produce, meats and dairy, baked goods, etc. and 2) a "general goods" market which consists of stands selling housewares, art, vintage clothing and accessories, antiques, textiles and household furnishings, and more. The former is held on Saturdays 9-4pm, the latter on Saturdays same time as the farmers market and Mondays 9-2pm. From where I was walking around, it looked like about three dozen vendors with stands of varied sizes gathered here to sell on a Saturday morning. I also arrived around 9:30am, so there were still vendors setting up too. What a bustling atmosphere and certainly lots of locals doing some weekend food shopping--saw plenty of veggies, fruit, bread, placed directly in bicycle crates (on the front or back of this popular transportation method Amsterdam is well-known for) and biked away. So many yummy looking items! It made me wish I had a kitchen there so I could buy and prepare food from this market.
