One thing I have wanted to try since going to Amsterdam the first time in 2008 is Maoz falafel. Tom and I really are not the fine dining type, so street food and things that are quick and easy are more our style. Here is the awesome news, Tom tried falafel...and he LOVED it. We actually ended up at Maoz twice!
I also became a little obsessed with this burger place that was on our street, it was always busy and now I know why. You pick the style of beef you want, toppings and then they cook it up right in front of you.
Not the best photo, but one of the best burgers I have ever had.
Of course we got the traditional Dutch pancakes, mine was cheese and pineapple and Tom's was tomato, onion and bacon.
Not the best photo but this is one of the best things I had there, a smoked salmon, scrambled egg sandwich with sour cream and fresh chives. So simple, but so full of flavor.
And now some scenery pics, and then a photo of one of the very best things I have ever ate in my life...
Finally, the meal I am going to dream about, first of all, here is the view from where we ate...
And this is what I got...
Beef carpaccio with shaved parmesan, pine nuts, arugula and truffle mayonaise served on fresh bread. Seriously, one of the best things I have ever had in my life. I hope you enjoyed all the photos and I will be back to regular blogging soon.
Oh my god what amazing photos! Looks like you had a great time. That last meal looks incredible. And hey - I didn't know there was Maoz in Amsterdam! We have it here in NYC as well - love their falafel.
ReplyDeleteOH WOW!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteIt is hard to fathom all those great dishes in such a short time - but I'd want to try each and every one -
Of course, it is missing two wild and khrazy guys ;-)
Looks wonderful and brings back lovely memories of our time in Amsterdam years ago. Food looks beyond delicious

Your photos are wonderful. We love the street food when we travel and have sampled a country's most delicious foods this way. That beef carpaccio looks amazing. Amsterdam is on my list of places I must visit.
ReplyDeleteWelcome back! First of all, the views are stunning! And wow, that last meal does look amazeballs.
ReplyDeleteI am with you - while a fancy dinner is nice every once in a while, street food would be more my thing too.
That last shot is truly mouth watering! The burger looks tasty too. Amsterdam is on my bucket list... it looks like a beautiful place.
ReplyDeleteAll that food looks so good. That's how I like to eat too. It sounds like Tom is tasting more and more things :) The scenery is gorgeous, I can see why you love it there. The one photo with the windows lit up is so pretty. Oh, and the last picture, it does look heavenly :)
ReplyDeleteYay for Tom and yay for the beautiful scenery and lovely food! It sounds like foodie heaven. I can see why you're already ready to go back.
ReplyDeleteAll the food looks magnificent, esp. the beef! Amsterdam is a magnificent place too! I love, love it and your photos are great. It all amazed me when I was there and street food is some of the best!!!
