Amsterdam short trip

[Deleted member 66701]

Hi al

The wife and I have been given tickets for a dfds Newcastle - Amsterdam mini cruise. We only have 5 hours in Amsterdam so looking for recommendations for somewhere nice to eat and something else to do.

You can leave out the red light district (we have two nights on board a cruise ship so we've got that bit covered )

Go!

Never found the food to be a particular high point in Amsterdam

The cakes are nice. Just don't eat a whole one.

Mushroom risotto. You should be over the peak in 5 hours

There must be places in Amsterdam where a man is welcome to eat out with his wife...

Wok to walk is nice for a quick snack have quite a few scattered around.

Bebo shops are great!

Febo. Best munchies food in the world.


Also, don't get your hopes up too much about the "mini cruise", it's a slightly glammed up ferry.

Went here with a supplier a few years ago, good food, cool place, original Rembrants on the wall

Oh, I know it's not going to be anything like a longer cruise but we've got the Commodore Deluxe room, looks ok, and eating in the bistro, not the buffet so should be tolerable

Febo is NOT good. It's vending machine burgers!

Sorry, should have said lunch - which is a shame as that place looks great - right up my street (wife is an art teacher so would have appreciated the Rembrandts as well).

Maybe take a canal cruise.... hmmm, probably fed up of boats by then. Take the wife to the flower market? Its really colourful and smells amazing. What about a visit to the Anne Frank House. Bit of history if that's your thang. https://www.annefrank.org/en/

PS, re your name... wish I still had my Amiga 1200. :/

It's a snack bar in Amsterdam. You don't exactly go there for a Michelin Starred lobster do you?

 

[HaloUK]

lol Diddums.

 

[NVP]

Two places I would recommend and know you will not have a bad meal:

CAU Steakhouse Nice quality, decent food

Sazanka Teppanyaki Restaurant - Michelin Star so costs a bit more (spent £200+ just on a steak) but worth it all day!

 

[peterwalkley]

If you like ribs then Cafe De Klos. Make sure you order alcohol as the bar staff will take the pee if you don't

Hah no, but there is better food when you're on the munch.
