I'm sure many people on these boards love to frequent Amsterdam, I myself have been 19 times and i thought i would start an Amsterdam munchies thread...My favourite place to eat in Amsterdam is The Taco Shop (Tolstraat 200 1074 VN Amsterdam)
Big portions & great food the burritos are the nuts...

gotta be "wok to walk" or "wok to go" whatever its name is for me, mmmm beef veg and noodles in oyster sauce, cuold go that right now.

febo burgers too, always filling up with them burgers

In my early days of the dam I used to get chips and mayonnaise from Febo, when I go with the missus we tend to try and enjoy ourself, we go to this Argentinian steak place but fuck knows what its called or where it is, we always manage to find it though.

Hell yeah "wok" noddles late in the night are superb... or some reheated "street pizza" with a banna waffle float my boat (from the very overpriced bakers).

I normally like to eat well BUT damn the above is too nice when Im buzzed and lets face it more time in restaurants = less time in coffee shops.

Weeds

little kebab joint just outside central station...Oooooh yeah bring on the meat n chilli sauce...

is it left out of the pink floyd cafe door, over 1 or 2 junctions then on the left ,halfway down the block ?

if its the one i'm thinking of , they do a good lump of cow

Ashamed to say, but it s McD's for me.


Believe it or not but McDonalds over there is QUALITY. Always piping hot, fresh and filling. Makes you realise just how wrong we get it over here. The British attitude is bullshit. We just accept crap food.

Give it a try.

Tropical Kai from wok to go, frittes from the fritte stall just down from the dampkring or BBQ pizza from new york pizza co

mmmmmmmmm

Volc

If anyone ever goes over the Christmas or New Years you MUST try the Dutch Olliebollen.



Kind of there "mince pie". Literally translates as "Oil Ball" is like a big ball of dough with Raisins & Cinnamon, deep fried and covered in Sugar or Chocolate. Absolutely delicious - although about 3000 calories.




Nice

Last time I was there I hit on this pub on the Warmoesstraat nearly opposite Hunters and down abit (the smaller one), this place done a real good club sandwich. Possibly slightly over priced as is everything in the Dam but the ingredients were nice and fresh and it was of a healthy size aswell. Don't mind paying higher prices when the food is of decent quality and it fills you up properly.

All VERY cool places... Have you tried the bagle place at the other end of the market...? It's properly delicious, VERY cool and the people who run it are properly dahling. Amsterdam is a marvelous place to visit and perhaps even live one day...once the pound groans and lifts itself up against the Euro again. Hooray for stock market

The Pie n Mash shop is worth a visit. Think it was by Grey Area iirc.
You cant fault a herring or two mind mmm


Bert...

The 'Wok to Walk' shops are great

Head down the Albertcuyp Market for fresh stroopwaffles (OMG!)....while you're down that way stop in to Katsu for a smoke.

Vlaamse Frites are delicious too.....volcanologist metioned the best place to get them - Vleminckx Sausmeesters, it's just around the corner from Dampkring.
Vleminckx is popular with the locals, but closes early......in which case head to Damrak for more of the same from Mannekin Pis.

FRIES IN AMSTERDAM

Bert, those herrings are disgusting :sick:

Moaz do great falafel.

Happy munching

mmmmmmmmm i nearly died wen i had one of those they are so so nice but so so unhealthy. those stalls selling them at chistmas were selling some serious munchie foods. i think all the weight i put on that christmas was due to those stalls.

Mc Donalds

has anyone else noticed that mcdonalds is everywhere in amsterdam????

has anyone noticed mcdonals is just plain everywhere!

good song bout that shite...



know what matey means. i went to one in france and it was a nice experiance...the staff were all smiles, actually pleased to have a job, place was clean and the burgers actually looked like they do in the adverts.

The Organic markets/shops in amsterdam are my favs...

no seriously tho archangel, i mean everywhere

i mean theres 2 on the same street for fucks sake

well there not as bad as Febo

hahahaah i know

i just cant work out why

i mean there are 4 all within 5 mins walk of each other

never tried that febo tho still

i just cant trust a hole in the wall to give me a fresh burger

chocomel (do they still have this -not been to amsterdam for at least 10 years:( )

and of course pickled herrings

rollmops every time - they also remind me of being a kid and holidays in southend .
the cockle sheds in leigh....aaahhh fond memories

The food quality is excellent in Amsterdam if a little overpriced. My favourite was probably the full English breakfasts from Stones Cafe, cooked to perfection.

love falafel, wok to walk, and for drink, try bessen jenever. its strawberry flavour version of jenever, dutch gin. reminds me a bit of buckfast

Yes they do
Available in coffeeshops hot or cold but it is expensive as is anything from a coffeeshop. Best off getting it in 1L cartons from Albert Heijn or from any other supermarket you can find. If I remember rightly it is E1.19 for 1L cartons, I always bring some home with me.

for real , the coffeeshops and corner stores are a rip off

i mean you pay €2 for a 200ml coke in a coffeeshop

but you can buy 1.5 litre for €1.19 at the supermarket, shits crazy

Wok to wok and burger king,been about ten times tried from stalls to resteraunts,but for value for money these two... hot, fresh and cheap and you know wat your getting,far better than ones here. Used to be an amazing cake shop directly across from grey area think away now thou.

mate i actualy think that our mc d's tastes better! other foreign countries aslways have foul tasting mc d's (apart from america) maybe im just used to shit?

Thats good stuff

For a great BLT try Broodje Bert Single 321 and cheap too.

i love the chocolate waffles from the street vendors

that sounds like Gauchos - been there a few times myself




agreed - the food actually looks like the pics and everything is so fresh - puts McD's in the UK to shame




ahh I love the herrings from the vendors - I have to neck at least 2 when I get there!

From visiting the dam 20 plus times, I have discovered a gem, Its the foodhall in a department store called V&D, Rokin 203, 1012 XC. This place does everything, Fresh Juice bar, Noodle bar, patiserrie, they'll cook a steak right in front of you if thats what you like,sandwich bar. The place is so cheap and everything is fresh. It closes around 6ish but the best time to hit it is between 12 and 3, its always packed with locals which is always a good sign

We tried to steer clear of McD's because my boyfriend recalled seeing a rat run across the floor in one of them on a previous visit, kind of put us off....
Ended up going there eventually though, we were dying for some good junk food

theres a little place on spuistaat /singel next door to kilroy travels nice cheep and fresh run by a milf and daughter

Well there you go then...

I got to agree,the macy's are much nicer over there!

haha yeah there's always pigeons in there too

but the double cheesburgers over there a lot better, i always go through bare of them

same as with wok to walk, cheap and tasty. and anything from the cake shop.... they all look great after a smoke!

Cant remember the name of the place but theres a little shop on the Leidestratt no more than a hundred yards or so from the flower market sells sandwiches and toasties, very small shop with only a couple fridges and a counter on the back wall but fuck me its delicious, was under 2 euro for a cheese + ham toastie, a nice alternative to maccies.
What we also like to do is stock up 10 or 20 euro worth of junk food and leave it in the hotel room awaiting your return at early o'clock when you're total ripped
