For a country that holds a little over 17 million people, that's prrrrretty insane. An average Dutch person cycles 880 km [almost 550 miles] a year. That's almost 15 billion kilometers for all of Dutchieland. I mean, come on. The Netherlands is 42.500 square kilometers. Where is everybody going? We go in circles, obviously. But at least we are doing it environmentally friendly. And healthy! I have great respect for this part of Dutch culture. But some things about the Dutch and their Bikes is a bit strange... Well, if you're not a Dutchie that is. The Romesco Soup and the Terrine were very good.

The highlight was the view of the church right in front of you. We came here during lunch and had…read morethe crocque madame. It was ok, nothing special. The staff was friendly and brought a high chair for outside. The bathroom was also another highlight, it was cool taking a journey on the old basement and passing the wine cellar. We came here on a whim and it was satisfying (the view alone would warrant a return if it was the only restaurant with the view, but it's not). If I came back to Haarlem, I would venture out and possibly find another restaurant.

A bunch of us went to dinner here and it was ok. Located in the heart of Amsterdam this is a French…read morestyle restaurant and apparently they also often have a truffle menu. It's a small place in an old building and we were seated in a private room downstairs. Like everything in central Amsterdam space is at a premium. Service was polite but not very friendly. The two waitresses that served us were not very conversational and as the night went on one of them got a bit grumpy for some reason. I had the caprese to start and it was very nice. The red mullet with truffle sauce was over cooked for my liking and lacked a bit of punch. The dessert was ok. All in all not a special meal worth coming back for. Not a bad place for a meal. I am not sure if it's good value for money as someone else paid for me. Maybe I may give this place another try and see.

As a big thank you, I was invited by friends to have a (boozy) lunch here, which involved truffles…read more Well. Say the magic word (truffle, see me waggling my tail?) and I will drop everything! Truffles all the way, starter, main AND desert, could a Friday lunch get any better? "Loki, I say thee nay!" Well ok maybe yes. - If this was all served on a sunny terrace i'd be the happiest girl alive - the tables are set up kinda close to the next. The downside of an old yet charming building: not a lot of space. - the host seemed to forgot her purpose. That or she was really not looking forward to have us there. (Considering we decided on a boozy lunch, i kinda understand...) Oh well, either way we had a lovely lunch, served by a lovely waitress. Already planning my next visit. Can't! Wait! (See, even the thought of it makes my tail waggle insanely!)

I've been meaning to visit this little restaurant for ages. And was it ever worth the wait (and…read moreweight, because oh god, so much foooooooood)! The menu is set before you arrive and for under €80, they advise you via email that it'll be a 2-3 hour eating experience. The meal comes without any wine but the staff here were super helpful and even though it wasn't listed, we were able to get wine by the glass to accompany the meal. Now service was incredible, every single dish came out at exactly the right time. Some were served to us by the wait staff and some were served by the chefs themselves! With 12 dishes in total and a bonus one (the little madeleine which I should have just said no to because I was bursting), the entire meal was a beautiful performance that stunned with every dish. The amount of flavours they managed to squeeze into every dish, was incredible! But the highlight for me was the rhubarb and ice cream. Wafer thin candied rhubarb, poached rhubarb and rhubarb compote with a sprinkling of cucumber relish, artfully plated with a delicate curl of buttercream ice cream; this was a perfect balance of tart and sweet. It was lightly dusted with something that I can't quite remember but honestly, the entire dish was just magic in my mouth! If you're looking for a way to spoil yourself in Amsterdam, this is it! I would advise reservations, stretchy pants and an appetite! 5 stars!

Café Reuring was such a delightful find in my hood! There were 8 of us, which they kindly…read moreaccommodated (our party unexpectedly doubled at the last minute) and they had 8 quite discerning people walk away totally happy and satisfied! That is despite the unique food restrictions for some people ranging from 'nothing that swims', 'nothing that lives in a shell', nothing that starts with 'pine' and ends with 'apple' and no ONIONS or GARLIC (gasp)! It is a chef's menu so choice is more or less taken out of the equation but since what they serve you is all fantastic, choice is pretty unnecessary here. The only thing I'd change would be to do the wine pairings with each course. We had a glass of wine to start which was mediocre but took the server's suggestion of the wine pairing with the main and it was wonderful. The food is sophisticated, the ambiance is warm and unpretentious - it's a pretty ideal combination in my mind. Can't wait to go back!

Not knowing what we should get our waitress was great with helping us figure out the menu as well as recommendations for other places during our visit. I landed on the ciabatta with grilled veggies, Parma ham, mozzarella and pesto and we shared a plate of bitterballen at the table. I think this was the moment I fell in love with bitterballen lol. They are basically battered veal balls and they are delicious! My sandwich was also really tasty and satisfying. Everyone at the table enjoyed their meal and this was pretty much the start of our wonderful food journey through Amsterdam. I don't think there was a single place where I didn't love the food.

What I love about it is there are all sorts of options for where you can choose to sit. Outside, to the left, upstairs, to the right...find yourself a nice little corner somewhere and just hang. In the summer they have loads of tables outside and it's a really fun place to enjoy the sunshine with a cold drink and watch the day go by. Definitely one of my safe hangs in my neighborhood.
