I have always loved the croquetten!!! And try Nasi Goreng in the Indian restaurants!

Nice list, and as you say there are plenty of other great food places.

The better pancake experiences are generally out of town along the coast, but I found Pannenkoekenhuis Upstairs (right in the centre at Grimburgwal 2) a very unique pancake restaurant, although its opening hours are quite restricted (Fri, Sat&Sun only) and it is very small!

I’ve also had an excellent Italian at another small restaurant – Koevoet, Lindenstraat 17 – well off the tourist trail.
Finally, near the station, but still very good is the Malaysian restaurant Wau on Zeedijk 35.
Enjoy.

[...] This gorgeous shot shows off why so many people want to visit Amsterdam – it is a gorgeous city. The only way to get around town is by bike, so be brave and just do it . Because of theft, the cool bicycles are either so elaborately decorated they’re ugly or they’re simply old rickety cruisers (called ‘oma fiets’, or grandma bikes) . It’s first on our bikes around the world list because, well, there are more bikes than people in this town! (Tip: It’s also a great way to explore all of the best food in Amsterdam.) [...]

Jen, I hope when you make it back to Amsterdam, you’ll leave with a full belly and be in full agreement

Rhiannon, I have nothing against patat met. I do have a thing against patat oorlog. YUCK!

GDelory, I agree – there’s something special and tasty about Indian food in the Netherlands. (They have great ethic grocery stores too!)

Akila, look forward to hearing more

Great list, Andy! When we make it to Amsterdam, I will have to come back to this list.

I have only visited Holland once…15 years ago. I love your pic of whipped cream. Whenever I travel I always have a difficult time getting coffee with cream or whipped cream. Great blog! I love Indian food. The best Indian food I ever tasted (different spices from those used in Canada) was in Holland. Honest! Thanks.

I knew it was going to be a dangerous read ! You’ve got a few of my favourites on there..and a few I don’t know too. Just as well I’m planning a trip sometime in the next couple of months or I’d be gnashing my teeth.
But come along now…patat MET is the only way to go

Andy, great list! I’m stumbling this for a future trip to Amsterdam. You’ve really changed my mind about Amsterdam being a foodie destination.
