Buffalo Steakhouse at Scheldestraat
For our first lunch in 2019 we went to the Buffalo Steakhouse. The hospitality of this place is par excellence. Our warm host (who strode in wearing a cowboy hat that looked more genuine than kitsch) made sure we were comfortable and well looked after. They boast of using fresh and finest ingredients, this was…

Made with Love by Tagore at Utrechtsestraat
Going to Made with Love by Tagore is always an absolute joy. Firstly, the owners, previously Mr. and Mrs. Nayyar, and now their youngest daughter Pamela and her partner Sunny, are the sweetest, kindest, and loveliest people you are ever going to meet in Amsterdam. They serve the food with meticulous care and make sure every…

Year 2017: Best Place to Dine in Lisbon is…
Drumroll please….. Meson Andaluz Address: Travessa do Alecrim nº 4 1200-019 Lisboa I can’t recommend Meson Andaluz enough! We had two amazing evenings in this wonderful little restaurant.

Brunch at De Ysbreeker
Another grey day in Amsterdam, sometimes I wonder if all those colors Vincent painted were hallucinations or repressed memories from rare sunny days. The only way to deal with this cloudy onslaught is to hang out with old friends. We did just that over brunch at De Ysbreeker, caught up with our old friends, whom unfortunately…

Once upon a time I used to live bang opposite Gelderlandplein. As a new mommy to have Etos and Albert Heijn next door was a blessing. I used to put Bambi in his buggy and off we went to pick up groceries. I was thankful I did not have to lug massive bags across the…

A Long Walk to Barca
The idea was to grab lunch outside. We picked up Apoorva who was working in Coffee Company and started walking in the general direction of Sarphati Park. We kept striking off places as we went, not this, not that. We crossed Hotel Okura and walked passed a branch of Loetje. I have been to the Loetje…

Dinner at Mama Makan
We had dinner at Mama Makan. Though for Hindi speakers it sounds like Mama’s house, in Indonesian it means Mama’s Food. The concept is that you are at Mama’s kicthen, sitting on the table, with mismatched yet charming plates, old quaint cutlery that is heavy and solid like Mama’s love (I suppose), and Mama brings out…

Restaurant Jinso for lunch
We had an outstanding lunch at Jinso in Arena Boulevard. We have eaten at Jinso before (and keep passing it when we have an errand to run at Villa Arena or a movie to watch at Pathe) and I always forget to note down (for the blog) how good the food is, how pleasant the atmosphere…

Drover’s Dog, Amsterdam
We went over to the Australian cafe Drover’s Dog for breakfast with our friends. It has a nice laid-back vibe. I could see myself reading the papers in a corner sipping a mug of coffee, the place is great to meet folks as well – warm wood interiors, soft and natural light and lots of…
