She had been there before and assured me that their ciabatta's were delicious. And she is right! Their ciabatta's are mouth watering. I've made it my personal project to try out all ... http://www.spottedbylocals.com/amsterdam/feduzzi-italian-shop Snack Bar Bird is on the busy Zeedijk, this is the China Town of Amsterdam. By far the best place to eat here is Snack bar Bird. This tiny place serves the best Thai food one can imagine. Unfortunately the place is also very small and cramped, so often you ... http://www.spottedbylocals.com/amsterdam/snack-bar-bird I love a good coffee and therefore couldn't live without the Coffee Company. Luckily there are lots of them in Amsterdam. It's an Amsterdam company and a bit like our version of Starbucks, but actually I'm happy to say it is a way better version! Each of the different shops has ... http://www.spottedbylocals.com/amsterdam/coffee-company If you're looking for a relaxed evening out you're in the wrong place here. Eating sushi at the Tokyo café can be quite hectic, but that's part of the fun if you ask me! The concept here is 'all you can eat' for a set price. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday ... http://www.spottedbylocals.com/amsterdam/tokyo-cafe The last time I was on my way to Waldorf I was in a hurry.

By ... http://www.spottedbylocals.com/amsterdam/waldorf If you want to go shopping you should pay a visit to Spoiled. You will definitely be spoilt for choice. I love shopping in the 9 streets and this shop is one of my favourites. I can't say I always buy something (since it can be quite expensive) but I ... http://www.spottedbylocals.com/amsterdam/spoiled Hartogs Bakery is an institution in Amsterdam. Lots of people swear by this bakery and don't get their bread anywhere else. The bakery exists since 1896 and what makes it special is that exclusively wholemeal flour and no preservatives are used. Their fresh bread tastes so great that you don't even ... http://www.spottedbylocals.com/amsterdam/hartogs-bakery In a street that crosses the Albert Cuyp Market you will find The Emaillekeizer. Emaille is the Dutch word for Enamel. So as you can imagine this shop is full of it. Mostly cups, plates, teapots, bowls and many other kitchen utensils. All the stuff is very colourful and often painted ... http://www.spottedbylocals.com/amsterdam/de-emaillekeizer I really love the Javanese Surinamese cuisine. This is why I love the Pijp so much. This area is filled with these kinds of restaurants. Most of them don't look very nice on the inside. It's all about the food and not about atmosphere. Usually it is not the ideal ... http://www.spottedbylocals.com/amsterdam/spang-makandra Like lots of people I have to admit I've gotten so used to downloading music that I hardly ever buy a CD. But step one foot inside this shop and you will instantly feel the urge to listen to and buy lots of CD's. It's really kind of dangerous! The shop ... http://www.spottedbylocals.com/amsterdam/concerto
