This super famous seafood restaurant is really amazing. There are three branches in Amsterdam. The first bite of lobster soup 🦞 and the seafood cold dish for 2 people are really delicious. Business is very good, usually you have to book a seat a month in advance.
#阿姆很赞的晚餐 Went to this popular seafood restaurant that ranks first on the Internet The oysters and mussels were really fresh and sweet without any residue Everyone ate and shouted the whole time, "It's delicious, so delicious, so delicious" The environment is also great. The price is actually not expensive for seafood of this quality.

Manneken Pis is very famous in Amsterdam! Its fries are super large, and I bought the smallest one. The sauce is mayonnaise, a traditional way of eating in the Netherlands. The fries are much thicker than those in McDonald's, so they have a glutinous feeling. I feel full and satisfied after eating them. ​
Manneken Pis is a popular French fry shop located in the commercial district of Dam Square in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. It has also been introduced in TVB's travel TV program. The French fry shop is not large and has no seats for dining. It is a bit like a milk tea shop on the street. The dark blue tones used in the decoration are quite nice. There are quite a lot of people queuing up to buy. The French fry packages come in three sizes, each size differs by 1 euro, and there are many choices of sauces. The thick French fries are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and the taste is quite good.

Since I didn't have a reservation and it was so popular, I had dinner early. Dutch family cuisine ~ "Restaurant Moeders" (Rozengracht 251 Amsterdam NL), it has the taste of a Dutch family, it tastes good [Glutton][Glutton][Glutton][ Haha][haha][haha]; and the restaurant decoration uses a lot of photos of my mother, it’s so warm [Applause]
After waiting for a long time📢🔔, moeders appeared🎉The wall was covered with photos, it felt like entering a Dutch bedroom, very cozy, the dishes were also great, it was worth our visit, 🚕but it was a pity that we were so hungry that we didn’t have time to take a photo of the main course and the cups and plates were already a mess [so happy], but the portions were so big, no wonder the Dutch are tall and strong💪 ​

There is a reason why Internet celebrities are famous! I ordered the Internet celebrity spicy steak Beef Tenderloin Steak Bali, 19.25 euros per portion, not much but really delicious. The sauce is the soul, it should be super delicious to order a portion of fries to dip in the sauce (I just had a portion of fries from another restaurant in the afternoon and couldn’t eat it anymore) After the meal, I ordered Apple Pie with whipped cream, which many people recommended. The cinnamon flavor is not strong and is acceptable. If you are afraid of getting sick, you can share one portion between two people~ But it’s actually okay. It’s so cool to eat spicy steak with beer🍺 It would be perfect if there was no heavy rain. There may be a wait, so it is recommended to book online in advance😯
Cafe Loetje is said to have the best steak and fries in Amsterdam. If you want to sit in the courtyard, you may have to wait in line for a while. The price of a meal is about 15-20 euros. But I always think Dutch food is okay.

The store is not big, but there are still many people. The air conditioning here is not very good. I was sweating while waiting for the food inside. It didn’t feel very good. However, the pancakes in the end were still good.
At 09:30 in the morning in the Netherlands, after arriving at the hotel to store the luggage, I went to the pancake shop highly recommended by Google Maps, The Happy Pig, to eat something sweet... Rolled Pancakes I ordered Dutch Delight & sweetheart, one is a pancake roll with salty and sweet bunana filling, filled with cheese; the other is a honey-sweet nut cream filling, covered with rich chocolate sauce. The outdoor temperature is 4 degrees, the weather is cold and gray, forget about calories in the cold, high-calorie desserts inject full energy and happiness into winter travel.

A good local local small bar, of course, it is mainly red wine, I don't know red wine, I asked for a medium price, the taste is very good, there is no red wine that is soothing.
The authentic Dutch restaurant, the first taste feels very like.

A restaurant with a super hall, the environment is superb, I will not say what I eat, very European, the portion is too large, I can't finish it. More affect the mood. There are music performances, very professional.
Very fashionable restaurant, the food is delicious. The food is delicious and fresh. The service is superb, and the waiters are very patient to explain everything to us. The only problem with this restaurant is that it is more expensive than other restaurants of the same standard! I recommend this restaurant though, because the atmosphere is great and the food is delicious!!!

Choose Oorlog mix sauce Sapphire sauce + Mei Nai Nai + fresh onion grains is really great! Sapa sauce has a very obvious nut aroma, the taste is relatively dense, Mei Nai Nai is more silky, onion grains increase flavor, freshness and layering! This is the first time I have eaten this combination! I was fascinated!

In Amsterdam's Instagram-famous restaurant, it imitates our seafood market, hahaha. I picked the seafood and chose the cooking method myself and taught it to the kitchen. The taste was okay. The cheesecake was made with popping candy, which was a bit fun to eat. The main thing was that the theme was interesting and down-to-earth.
It is a local snack bar that can also be used as a midnight snack shop. The fried seafood there tastes good, including soft-shell crabs and squids, all very fresh. The fried fish looks a bit like small yellow croaker, but a bit larger in size.
