After years of gathering dust and struggling to stay on top, the Amstel Hotel finally found their dream duo. With the ‘King of Subtle Flavors’ Roger Rassin in the kitchen and with supreme hostmanship from Ronald Opten, we had a meal there that is high on our list of best meals ever. Living in Amsterdam we’re cheering for this beautiful building and iconic hotel to return to the status Amsterdam deserves.

For food we crave. It’s definitely the best place to go if you like classical French preparations of brains, kidneys and just robust food.

Chef Rogier van Dam earned a Michelin star at Restaurant Posthoorn, before opening Restaurant Lastage in 2010, in a 17th Century canal house. The menu focuses on fresh, local, and seasonal ingredients.

LE RESTAURANT
A former two-Michelin starred chef opened up what is barely more then a living room, after having left the restaurant scene for a couple of years. A set menu, extremely high quality for a reasonable price, Le Restaurant shows that you can do it your own way, without concessions.
De Pijp

Southeast of the center of Amsterdam, you find Le Hollandais, a restaurant that has been around for ages. Adriaan [Van Raab van Canstein], the chef, makes clean and honest food, the dream wedding between Dutch produce and French technique. Go for the sausage of the week and have a bottle of wine recommended.
SLAGERIJ ‘T VET
Zeedijk 99, 1012 Amsterdam, Netherlands

Butcher / Sandwiches
For lunch. It’s not really a restaurant, but try the Broodje Zeedijk at Slagerij ‘t Vet on the Zeedijk. Best sandwich in town, we survived through the renovation of Lastage on it.
CAFE ZILT

Bar
NJOY
Korte Leidsedwarsstraat 93, 1017 PX, Amsterdam, Netherlands
T: +31/(0)62.424.97.42
Cocktail bar Njoy is close to the Leidseplein, an area we tend to shy away from, too busy, too touristy and too loud. Njoy, however, maintains a strict door policy, but once you’re in you are treated to cocktails made with the freshest fruit available, a true love for the craft of cocktail making resonates through every conversation you have with a bartender (ask for Lillyin, she’s great). And if you’re done with cocktails, they also serve a more then decent glass of wine and nice snacks to go with them.

One of our favorite bars in Amsterdam is definitely Zilt on the Zeedijk. At the beginning of the Red Light District, it is rare to find a bar frequented with mainly Dutch. The bartender/owner, Michael, has a true feel for making everybody feel welcome, combine that with a better than average selection of beers, wines and whiskeys and it is our pivotal point on a night out and our main hang-out after having closed the restaurant.
CASA DEL GUSTO

Italian Market
LA MARCHE AT LINDENHOFF
On Thursday, Fridays and Saturdays, one of the best restaurant suppliers of quality meat opens up the farm and holds a real farmers market, La Marche at Lindenhoff in Baambrugge. Neighbors that produce fruits and vegetables join them, as well as a great traditional baker, dairy producer and some other great things. Only a half an hour drive outside of Amsterdam, you immediately get a feel of what the Dutch countryside has to offer. We love driving out there, petting the cows, enjoying the atmosphere and getting home with bags of fresh produce.

Casa del Gusto on the Kerkstraat drives back and forth to Italy every week to provide us with the best Italy has to offer. Great salamis and prosciutto, but also homemade pastas. A touch of Italy in Amsterdam.
