I LOVE food festivals and it's January /winter /cold and not pretty outside, so I thought an indoor…read morefood truck festival wad the perfect way to spend a couple hours. It didn't turn me off that it was in Noord. In fact I was happy to have a reason to go. But it's not super close to the ferry so I suggest bringing your bike. A free festival is always appreciated and I think, for that, you paid more for what's inside. The muntjes (tokens aka "coins") are plastic coins... Much different than the other kind you see at other festivals. Since you can't have a half-token here, they are a bit cheaper at $1.25 (in 2016). But the real food (burgers, ribs, etc) are average 5-7 tokens. The vibe is interesting. Not as exciting but more relaxing. The amount of seating is nice which I feel is usually lacking. It's a smaller festival than Rollende Keukens and smaller than Food Festival Amsterdam. But it still has a nice variety of favorites and new ones we haven't discovered yet. Mr. Brasa had delicious ribs (5stars) with an Asian flavor. Pork Carnitas from Let's Salsa were simply amazing. And the Biological Poffertjes are a favorite of mine but always take forever! Oh and there was a Barber on site! 10 euros for my husband a haircut is the best deal of the festival! I didn't like the location, but it was a nice change for the weekend.

They have a waterfront terrace where you can pull up your boat and grab a drink, bites to eat, etc. If you prefer the shade, they also have a nice size patio. Inside there are plenty of seats for groups to dine. The plan was lunch at Staring at Jacob, practically across the canal, and we saw the glorious terrace and literally stopped in our tracks. So glad we did. Sun worshipers you will not be disappointed. And the food was pretty darn good to boot. For lunch, an open face roast beef sandwich and a salad with quinoa, beets, pomegranate and feta. Good sized portions and even larger flavor. Middle ranged prices too. Their menu for dinner features chicken off the spit (rotisserie). Can't wait to try it.

Amsterdam Kookt was a great use of the space at Olympisch stadium. It was my first time at an event here and I was very impressed by the number of options. There were a number of big sponsors such as Juniper and Leffe and representation from the stalls you might know from De Foodhallen along with some exciting new options. It was set up that you used coins to pay for things which would yield quicker transactions when busy. We went on Sunday, the last day which was also Mothers' Day and it wasn't crazy busy which was quite nice for a Sunday afternoon. There were a lot of good looking food options, notably a high number of Sushi options, a Satay Bar, 1-3 Mexican options. There was a gourmet hotdog bar and at least three good burger options including the Butcher and the one we tried. I noted a Johnny Doodle chocolate (love it! Check it out and their ethos if you don't know them yet) and an ice cream truck too. There was a churros van, gin and tonics, wine. The Funkavan was cool complete with a better looking scooby doo dancing guy. There were at least two other music stages, the main one and the one in the Juniper area. Stoke stacks were on hand in the Juniper "smoke pit area". Very mad max meets Steampunk themed - a no-no area for vegetarians and vegans. There was a lot of meat around including a whole pig laid out on "display". I must admit, the sight of this put even me off my meat a bit. We opted for the XL meatlovers burger which had pulled pork, a rare burger with tasty aged meat (they made a point of ensuring all customers knew this and warned you up front), bacon, and a super tasty coca-cola or bourbon slow cooked pork chop as a dressing on top the burger. This was a lot of meat but good. My husband was very happy with this choice. There was a chickpea van with vegan options that looked good too. It was good to see a number of vegan friendly options with so much meat around. I'd come back with more people on the Friday or Saturday afternoon/evening :)

I'm not sure how you can go wrong with a food truck festival, so automatically I love Kookt! There…read moreare all kinds of food trucks available including burgers, smoothies, milkshakes, soul food, pizza, frites, sweet treats, BBQ, some of your favorite restaurants and a few stalls you would recognize from De Foodhallen (http://www.yelp.com/biz/de-foodhallen-amsterdam). Of course there is beer and wine, and if you look around, you can find some cocktails too! There's a lot of space to walk around and isn't as cramped as some of the other festivals. I love the industrial feel of the area and the different sections of trucks. It's a little bit of a maze, but it pretty much follows one flow, so you shouldn't get too turned around. To get to the end is quite a walk. The location was good being right off the ferry from Centraal or the Westerdoks. It is well-marked and has space for bikes. But if you are coming from the ferry, I would just leave your bike where you got on. There is music along with some small and some large stages for you to enjoy. Only downside to the main (big) stage was it was all standing room. I think it would be more inviting with chairs, or high tops to stand around and eat on. The festival works on a token system (like many of them do) and there were registers along the way--not just at the entrance. And there were machines to insert cash to get your tokens. That might help quicken things. But the registers also take pin cards. It seemed that most items were between 2-3 tokens, and they do have half tokens as well. You can find a few items for 1-1.5 tokens and drinks are usually 2-3 tokens. These tokens are 2.50 each, but it's a festival and everything is overpriced. And in case you aren't aware, most people in Amsterdam speak English, so you will be fine if you don't speak Dutch. If you like this festival, check out Rollende Keukens (http://www.yelp.com/biz/rollende-keukens-amsterdam), TREK (http://www.yelp.com/biz/foodtruckfestival-trek-amsterdam), and Food Soul Festival (http://www.yelp.com/map/food-soul-festival-amsterdam).
