I know I love my local IKEA here in Utrecht, but this one in Amersfoort just has a certain "je ne…read moresais quoi" that ours doesn't (yet) have. Being an IKEA, it is awesome for all the obvious reasons, but this one always reminds me of the IKEA in Israel because it's also super huge. And anything that reminds me of home and my family already has a special place in my heart. This IKEA has a slightly wider range of their products than ours does because it has so much more space, which is great! The restaurant is also nice and big and seats lot's of people without being cramped together. The food is good and the specials are great. They had a steak dinner as a special last month and much to le boyfriend's surprise it was cooked quite well. Much better than you would expect from an IKEA really and also the portions are generous for a great price. What's not to love? Actually, the coffee is what's not to love. Not sure if it was a one time mistake, but the cappuccino I had tasted like the beans were burned. I hate burned beans, way too bitter! My regular amount of sugar (half a sachet) couldn't fix it, nor did the entire sachet, so I chucked the coffee. Luckily, with my IKEA family card, it was free anyway.

Wow! This is interior heaven! Think of it as a Ikea size design interior store with all you could…read morewant in lamps, pillows, rugs, couches , chairs and eveything else. Seems to be most from Dutch designers but there are lots and lots to see buy. Not cheap in any way but at least many things are good value since you wouldnt see them anywhere else. Worth a detour!
