De kas - Amsterdam


Probably the most memorable meal of the last five years.
Deciding to rent bicycles for the weekend was an inspired idea. Deciding to Cycle all the way to De Kas was a romantic idea. Deciding to not take umbrellas and get stranded, during Amsterdams biggest hail strom of the last 12 months was idiotic. The night was still amazing.

Vlaamsch Broodhuys - Amsterdam

Vlaamsch Broodhuys is probably the finest little chain of bakers I've ever had the treat of feasting in. Quite simply delicious. The croissants, breads and jams are all exceptional, whilst the design of the shop is modern and charming in the same breath - not easy to achieve. Beware of the jams - the apple and pear one I bought is so thick and thin that it's almost the same consistency as Marmite. It tastes incredible though - try it with cheese!
