Amsterdam The number of international restaurants in Amsterdam is rather mind-boggling. Name a country and there will be a restaurant with that specific cuisine (see sublocations). Typically Dutch are the snackbars, where most Dutch people enjoy the large fries topped with mayonaise (Vlaamse frites) or the famous croquets, called 'vleeskroketten'. Very Dutch also are the pancake-restaurants, called 'pannenkoekhuizen'. Originally, Dutch dishes are based on simple ingredients, (boiled potatoes, boiled vegetables, country food) but nowadays Dutch cuisine is largely influenced by the French. A good place to start your search for restaurants are the Korte Leidsedwarsstraat and Lange Leidsedwarsstraat, close to the Leidseplein. If you want to eat something, but if you're not sure what, walk these streets and discover the enormous variety of restaurants. Spuistraat (which runs parallel to Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal) also has a good selection of more upmarket restaurants. |
