Amsterdam was one of my best food holidays and I think I enjoyed literally every meal I ate. We came here for a bank holiday weekend and were lucky that there was a nice heatwave. We took advantage and went riding round the city on a tandem. Maybe I'll do another post later on what we got up to (besides eating).
Vegan Junk Food Bar
££££Recommended by my friends and was told the burgers here were amazing. They did not oversell; this was literally the best burger I've everrrrrr had. And I don't even like burgers. Can someone please franchise this in the UK already. The nuggets and fries were good too, but the burger takes the cake. We just had the original burger - and then came back the next day to have it again. I can't even pinpoint why it tasted so good - the sauce? This place is trendy and popular, with purple mood lighting and neon signs, and the wait is also annoyingly long during peak times so get here earlier or come at a more off peak meal time.

Cut Throat
££££Cut Throat is a hipster looking restaurant that casually doubles up as a barbers. I wasn't convinced, even by the nice presentation, that I would be won over by some red velvet waffle with fried chicken because I don't really even like fried chicken (unless it's Korean fried). This isn't typically the kind of food I like to eat, and feels like a dessert and main all-in-one, but omg, SO GOOD.

Pluk
££££Pluk is a very cute and aesthetically pleasing cafe. Came here

Mook Pancakes
££££After a long bike ride, we came here for a quick snack. Whilst the pancake with blueberries and strawberries looks nice and sweet, it wasn't anything mind blowing. I actually preferred the savoury pancake with smoked salmon and crème fraîche (but the one with blueberries was just more photogenic).

Viet View in Foodhallen
££££A crowded food court with a wide variety of different foods and stands. I had my first ever banh mi, from Viet View and I didn't know that a baguette could taste so good - the contrast of the caramelised pork with pickled veg tasted so good. And I literally am just describing everything as 'so good' because it was. I'm so accustomed to just eating either rice, noodles or pasta wherever I go, but I really ventured out of my usual palette on this trip with all this junk food and baguette and stuff. How adventurous of me. And again, because we loved it so much, we went back a second time to get some for our Eurostar journey home.

Rob Wigboldus Vishandel
££££So I know this is not a particularly attractive photo that screams 'must eat', but we found this place on TripAdvisor and it seemed like an authentic, no-frills cheap eat where we could quickly grab a bite. Again, wasn't too convinced by the reviews about how 'amazing' a sandwich could be, but again, was won over. Tucked in a little alleyway off the big shopping street, Rob (I assume that's what the friendly man who works here is called) serves sandwich buns with fresh ingredients. We just had the herring and pickle which I think is the bestseller as he recommended it. And like everything else I'd eaten on this trip, this tasted pretty satisfying.
