RFI - Ghent/Rotterdam/Amsterdam

That is a pain. Hope they'll sort that soon.

This has sorted visiting my London mate in June and planning something for his birthday.

Amsterdam FAP on May 3rd or 4th? Paging all ilxors.

I'll know next week if I can make it on the 3rd!

awesome! sent u an ilxmail.

let me double check the schedule but I'm 95% sure we're there on the night of the 3rd in time to go out

Cool, will get back to you after the weekend

I'm going to be in Amsterdam/NL for a week in September, would love any recommendations on food spots, beer, and other non-Amsterdam places to go for a day or two? Going with my partner and we tend to not spend a lot of time in museums on trips, but are into walking/biking around outside (getting out into some nature and coming back for a good late dinner is the sweet spot).

Lower your food expectations drastically. Amsterdam is one of the worst eating destinations I’ve ever been. But! You can get Surinamese food there, which is about the only good option.

De Bierkoning is possibly the best beer store in Europe.

Noted, ty :/

Strong disagree with Bangelo, there's so many places that offer nice food. Will post some later on.

Thanks LBI! I'm down for some roti rolls at least.

this one was very good:

There is really good Thai food in amsterdam too.

Singel 404 is a lovely cafe with great sandwiches, soups, and salads for breakfast or lunch.

De Kas is a restaurant in a greenhouse in a park where some of the food is grown on site.

Cafe Modern is a slightly funky restaurant in an old bank building in Amsterdam Noord across the harbor. Set menu iirc.

If you like fine dining, Lastage was one of my favorite meals ever. Just perfect cooking in a handsome canal house setting. Not cheap, but worth it imo.

Recommendations are about 4 years old, so you may want to check more recent reviews.
