When we visit new cities, we Google the best restaurants, make a list, and head out. I'm not exactly sure what typical Dutch food is suppose to be, but we found food we liked, whether or not it was Dutch, meh.
After we landed we grabbed a quick burger in the airport to share, not exactly anything to write about, but it was only a snack because we knew we wanted to drop our bags and walk around as soon as we got there. We walked around, found a coffee shop, had a tea and coffee, walked some more, and headed for the first place on our list, Eetcafe "Harlem Soul Food". They had nachos on the menu and we couldn't resist. We really miss our Mexican/TexMex food fix.
They were super delicious. So delicious in fact that we went back there again on Day 3! Sometimes you just need some snack food.
A common drink in the coffee shops is fresh mint tea. It is as simple as it sounds and really good. A stalk of mint is crammed in some hot water and served with honey.
Across the street from the hotel there was a cafe called "Bagels and Beans" as in coffee beans. We went there the first day and continued to go. They had a good selection of bagels and lots of ways to eat them. We tried something different everyday. There was goat cheese and walnuts, hummus and sun dried tomatoes, and black bean patty, those were my choices anyway.
We had a not so great croque monsieur, but it was sunny enough to sit outside and right in front of the location was a crepe street cart. The Nutella and banana crepe made up for the hard and dry sandwich
Another place on the go to list was Getto. It was listed for its burgers, and I have to say, they were pretty good. What was better though, were the fried balls of gravy, mmmmm. They were served with a Dijon type mustard. Sadly I missed a picture of those. We liked them so much, that we got them for lunch again the next day.
One of the places on the list was pretty hard to get into the night we tried, so we made a reservation for later in the stay. It turned out to be our favorite! Yam Yam pizza, which means yum yum, and it was! There were a lot of truffles on the menu, truffle oil, truffle sauce, and we both like truffles.
I also had macaroons for the first time. Where have these been all my life?? They are amazing! There were a lot of macaroon shops. All in all we found a lot of food that we enjoyed.
