• Dinner at the Sky Restaurant Pi

  

  We had an unexpectedly delicious dinner at the Sky Restaurant Pi at the Fletcher Hotel. “Unexpectedly” because the decor did not look promising. Additionally, somehow being just off the highway does not spell out – gourmet extravaganza. Even though architecturally it is eye-catching, one does not derive a sense of – “oh this will be […]

• New Lunch Menu at Loetje

  

  My love for Loetje is well-documented. I continue to enjoy their food and service. They have revamped the lunch menu and offer poke bowls, which are quite trendy at the moment. I had mine with “biefstuk” – it was delicious, beautifully cooked meat, succulent and full of flavor. The men in my life enjoyed their […]

• 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 […]

• Day Out in Delft

  

  Delft is such a pretty little town. It is quaint with crisscrossing canals and arched bridges, cobbled pathways, brickwork, delftware, old architecture, quirky leaning Oude Kerk and the shiny towering Nieuwe Kerk, imposing City Hall, and impressive museums. We planned a day out to enjoy the Museum Prinsenhof. One day was not enough, clearly we […]

• Stirring Metaphors in a Glass

  

  In a world that expects wine be a glass of Amstel. On Christmas eve we took a stroll through our favorite street Utrechtsestraat. If you walk along from Hutspot to Rembrandtplein you will trek through this darling of a stretch, which has delightful stores, quaint eating joints, cafes, and bars. It was all dressed up for the […]

• Summer Walks and Autumn Leaves

  

  This summer I have enjoyed many long walks with my ten-year-old son Bambi and the discussions have meandered from Roblox Jailbreak to Alvin and the Chipmunks. We have intensely unpacked and debated over the nuances of gaming technology and storyboards as well as arcs of narration in movies. To the extent that we have drawn out […]

• Lunch at Loetje aan de Amstel

  

  I absolutely love Loetje aan de Amstel. The decor is modern, fuss-free, chic, with striking elements. The food is out of this world. The steak was perfect. The burger polished off in seconds. The Dover Sole, seasonal, fresh, and so delicate. I was in food heaven. We have been dining at Loetje for ten years […]

• Dinner at Takumi Burgers and Steaks

  

  As I had mentioned in my previous post, we will be trying out all the new restaurants in Gelderlandplein. This time around we dined at Takumi Burgers and Steaks. So, the result is that both the boys, the older one and the younger one, are crazy about the place. The minute I said, “I am not […]

• 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 […]
