Amsterdam for Tourists and Foodies

»Posted in Travel and Leisure

T
he food tourism is getting more and more popular with every single year. If you don’t know what this is, let me explain you. This is the type of tourism where you just go to some nice place, most often a big city, and the main attraction of your whole excursion is to visit nice places and try some of the local specialties. I know it may sound a little stupid to some of you, but believe me this is something that everyone should try. Now about the food tourism in AmsterdamWell, the last year I’ve been there for exactly this purpose and to tell you the truth I was thrilled. I tried so many delicious dishes and visited some of the fines restaurants in Amsterdam and this is why I can give you some valuable information.

It would be quite hard for me to count all of the places I’ve been to but I will tell you most of them. Since I had a great time it would be pretty easy for me to tell you some names and write a few lines of personal opinion.

The first place that I visited, actually it was right after I landed in Amsterdam, was Caf Loetje. It is not my personal opinion that this place is offering some of the best steaks in the whole city. On the other hand if you are looking for some nice Flemish fries you should go to Vlaams Friethuis in Voteboogsteeg. If you visit both of those places and try the dishes I told you about, you will definitely be amazed and I’m pretty sure that you will want to go back there and eat a little bit more.

On the other hand if you are not a huge fan of steaks or fries and you are looking for some Chinese food then I would recommend you to go to Nam Kee. Of course there is nothing perfect and in spite of the fact that the food is truly delicious the place lacks atmosphere. Actually the interior is nothing special and most of the people dislike it. But this doesn’t mean that you can’t take some food for home. I can guarantee you that this is going to be one of the best Chinese food you have ever tasted.

The next place I would recommend you to go if you are a “food” tourist is Prince Heerlijk. What makes this place different than the other places is the fact that it is considered to be a sandwich shop. So if you are a fan of the so called fast-food this is the place you need to visit. It has a diverse choice of any type of sandwiches so basically there is no way to dislike the menu of the place.

By the way rent apartments Amsterdam because it is considerably cheaper than hotels. I’m from London and I’m currently living in New York so I can tell you that Apartments in London and apartments New York are considerably higher on price than apartments Amsterdam – so you should rent one, save some money and spend them for food.
