🇳🇱 What to Eat in Amsterdam — Hits & Misses 🌟

Came for the tulips in April 🌷, didn’t plan much food-wise — made some mistakes, so here’s a quick rundown! 🍳 The Pancake Bakery Great for brunch — sweet & savory pancakes. I had ham, cheese, mushroom — tasty and huge portion! 🍖 Café Sonneveld Came specifically for the ribs. Can’t say they’re the best (only tried one place), but the meat was fall-off-the-bone tender! Also tried meatball stamppot (mashed potatoes) and Dutch apple pie — loved it. Friendly service — recommend booking (or try walking in). 🚫 Avoid Castell — empty but refused walk-ins + rude staff. 🍜 Saigon Caphe CS Vietnamese pho inside Central Station — a bit salty. Not bad, not great. 🌶️ Sichuan Chinese in Chinatown — expensive (London prices), average taste. Hardly any chicken in the dish ❌ 🍜 Xi'an Delicious Foods Went here after Castell rejection — near Rijksmuseum. Feels like a small noodle shop from home — tasty and affordable! 🌷 Keukenhof Park Café Tomato soup + basil chicken pasta — overpriced and mediocre ❌ 🍟 Fabel Friet Runstraat Famous fries spot (with cute staff lol). Try parmesan + black truffle sauce. 💳 Bring cash — their card machine often fails (a kind grandpa paid for us 😭) 🐟 Frens Haringhandel Fried fish stand near Flower Market — not bad, saltier than UK style. Didn’t dare try the herring sandwich 🥪 Worth a try if you pass by. 🍪 Van Stapele Koekmakerij Aespa-approved chocolate cookie — warm, rich, and gooey. One is enough though! 🧋 Nomu Random bubble tea find — mango coconut matcha was great! Nice street for citywalking too. #AmsterdamFood #TravelNetherlands #Keukenhof #EatLikeALocal #FoodReview
