Next to Frits another restaurant on the Jan Evertsenstraat that doesn't deserve your attention or…read moreyour money. Such a waste. Can't cook a decent pasta sauce. Vegetables that serve no purpose to the dish other than cleaning out the leftovers from the night before. It takes them forever. For. Ever. Well done burger that gets served almost raw. Popcorn appetizer that tastes like dust gone bad. I really don't know what to say. It was wasn't crowded. The food isn't that fancy and almost impossible to screw up. But they still manage to do just that. Still: an extra star because the pancetta on the burger was pretty nice and this review took me a while, so I'm a little less pissed off than a few minutes ago.

The wines were tasty and moderately priced. The second time around I went with my manfriend for burgers. At 15.50 a pop, it's a bit pricey but warranted. The combination of cheddar, bacon (!) and caramelized onions makes it worth the extra stretch. Add a la chouffe + the cardamom vanilla creme brulee, and you're sure to be in happy company.

My husband and I dined here for dinner and had a great experience.

It was the stoofvlees with a glass of red wine for my husband and the kalfsbiefstuk champignons with a glass of rose for me. Both came with a side of fries. The food was amazing. This spot is legit and is a must visit.

I have such fond memories of stopping by here with my husband on a chilly Fall evening. Delfshaven…read moreis beautiful and has some of the oldest architecture in the Rotterdam area as it survived the bombings of WW2. It's romantic and full of old wood, fireplaces, and cozy places to grab a warm bite and a cold beer. We were greeted by the owners, who were so nice to us. It felt like we were eating at an Aunt and Uncle's house. The chef popped back into the kitchen and started cooking. We had a delicious, savory soup with sausage. Ever get happy over soup? I rarely do, but this soup had that extra something that makes you realize that there's an art to it. So, so good. I loved meeting these owners and I'm so happy we came by here on a whim. Stop in here for a something comforting, settle in and take in what it's like to be in this town, in this country. Enjoy the warmth of the fire and the hosts. Have a beer for me, I wish I was there right now.

I ordered the Beef Carpaccio with truffle sauce, Parmesan, arugula and pine nuts. It was a little tough, but the taste was on point. As I was eating it, I saw numerous plates of this order being served to other tables, so I knew I picked the right choice. All in all, a nice place to have a quick bite to eat.

Europe 2023 - Amsterdam…read more Just around the corner from the Heineken Experience I recommend a great restaurant called Pilsvogel. FAST FOOD: I ordered the Celeriac with Forest Mushroom soup which was amazing. While I waited for it to cool down I ate the crostini which had some kind of tapenade. The waitress seems to think the base is made from the bottom part of the celery stalk, but had a pea soup kind of taste with a chicken broth. The forest mushrooms also were amazing. We also had the Reuben and the Caprese sandwiches, both were great, the Caprese could have used maybe a little more pesto sauce or balsamic. Atmosphere: great restaurant, there's a patio but it was cold so we sat inside, they have a beautiful bar and you can see the chef cooking away. Music playing in the background. Service: Excellent, the two young girls and young men were taking care of all the tables and cooking. Tip: Try the soup.

If you're a fan of Copenhagens Kodbyen (meatpacking district), this hidden gem will definetely stir…read moreyour nostalgia. Hidden away near Riekerhaven (bestemmingsverkeer), this spacious bar/ restaurant provides fantastic decor for a lunch, brunch, dinner or party. The food menu is simple and (although not cheap) and tasty. The salads are small, yet delicious. They have some delicious snack platters (fried sardines and octopus) as well if you're just hanging around; which is a very easy thing to do considering the ultimately relaxed atmosphere. All in all, a great place to spend an afternoon (if you know where to find it;-)).
