Travel Amsterdam, Netherlands? My food guide Amsterdam for you!

Part 2 - where to eat in Amsterdam City?

Hey guys,

as promised my second part from my Amsterdam guide - the food guide - posting is finally coming to you. Sorry for being a bit late with it, but due to some work I didnt have much time to write on my blog lately.

If you travel Amsterdam, you need to make sure to check also these restaurants/bars/hotels while being in this great city.

I was doing my research based on locals recommendations and Instagram. Which I normally always do that way to get the best food experience while traveling.

Out of all the restaurants and bars tested and tasted here are my top recommendations for you, when traveling the city of Amsterdam, Netherlands:

First one is a casual one. Veggie, Vegetarian and Vegan food sounds not good to you? I bet you will change your mind after heading to the famous and really Instagram place called "Vegan Junk Food Bar". I had the best sweet potatoe fries and veggie burger of my lifetime. The restaurant itself is easy and modern designed, so I would say its easy chic. I loved the pink design by the way :-)

If your into sea food I highly recommend you to visit the "Seafood Bar". It serves fresh sea food and you can choose between all your favorite fishes directly in front of you. The interior is really clean and modern. This one is great for dinner or lunch. 

For all Asian infused kitchen fans - more correct its Japanese kitchen - the "Wagamama". I had a great soup and they offer great starters ! Amsterdam has some "Wagamama" Restaurants in different parts of the city. Make sure to place a reservation as it is especially crowded at the evenings. 

Last but not least the best roof top terrace bar in Amsterdam. Its located on top of the W Hotel, which is in a historical building but the inside is really modern and stylish. We only had drinks there, but you can also reserve a table at the restaurant. I enjoyed a signature W Hotel mint iced tea, it came along with popcorn and nuts. It has also a pool outdoor and check the event calendar as they also host some DJ nights there. 

Enjoy your lunch // dinner // snack!

I linked you all the restaurants and bars, just click on them and you will be forwarded to the locations.

Travel Amsterdam, Netherlands? My insights for you about where to stay?

Part 1 - where to stay in Amsterdam City? 

Hey guys,

I just love roadtrips! In Europe you can pretty much drive around within an hour and you are in another country. 

This time we decided to head more North, as we usually go more South because actually we enjoy much more being in the mediterranean clima. 

If you would like to travel Amsterdam for a few days its always good to stay really central in the city. I really enjoy to stay at the NH Collection Hotels, when I travel foreign European cities. I started my research and found this great 5 star located hotel in the heart of Amsterdam City: its called The NH Collection Amsterdam Doelen.

Its one of the Amsterdam’s oldest and finest five-star hotels, dating from the Golden Age. But no worries, it is completly renovated and has really nice modern designed rooms.The 81 freshly-refurbished rooms are decorated in classical tones, mixing cream, red and gold accents. From standard rooms to palatial suites, each one combines sleek design with luxurious indulgence.

Over three centuries, it has hosted royal and legendary guests including Empress Elisabeth of Austria and the Beatles. Rembrandt’s ‘Night Watch’ was painted to display within its walls.

You have free access W-Lan and free access to the Fitness center. You can also bring your dog along the way, as the hotel is dog friendly. You got also a breakfast option to book and a 24h room service. 

The hotel has also a nice bar and restaurant the "Bamboo kitchen" which offers modern Asian infused food. 

I would suggest you to book a room with "canal view" - the so called "Grachten" view. It was just amazing to have a view towards facing the floating boats on the river called "Amstel".I love being near water so that was really something special.

As city trips are always about location location location, you can do everything by feet or by bike. Be aware of the bikers anyway, as they seem to have the city forthemselves. If you are a biker you can take full advantage of this "bisycle" city. You get everywhere real quick. I would not suggest to come by car in the city, if you can mind it, because the pricing of parking is really expensive. We paid 55 Euro a day for the velet parking option, the hotel offers. From a dutch friend I had the information that next time I should park the car around central station up North, there should be some park & ride options.

The guest relation team from the hotel offers - besides the great service while being in the hotel - a great online personal travel guide. You will get an questionare some days before you travel to Amsterdam, if you decide to use it you will have to answer some questions and afterwards the travel guide will be send threw by e-mail. I really thought this was innovativ and really useful for our trip, it even offers you some recommendations besides the typical sight seeing spots as restaurants and where locals go to.

So what are you waiting for ! Make sure to check out the amazing city of Amsterdam, next blog will be a food guide Amsterdam City, about where to eat out and have drinks in Amsterdam!
