All the restaurants in Amsterdam I highly recommend to book priorly, most of them has easy booking form online. Also “Table” app works great.

Rainbowls Amsterdam
@haleysangster
One of the must-haves if you are craving a healthy lunch or breakfast. They aren't speedy, but they put love into every bowl.

Italian cousine

Carletto - Italian Osteria
@ps_olga
Although Italians don’t combine pizza place with other food, this one worth going for both - great pizza straight from the oven and amazing Italian cuisine, pure gem 💎📍

Mangia Pizza di Antonio Cavoto
@ps_olga
There are several places around Amsterdam and all of them will be filled by Italians. Isn’t it the best sign for the place?

Shiraz Jardin des Vins
@haleysangster
If you only go to one place on this list - GO HERE!!! No reservations taken so you may have to wait a few minutes for a table. It is right on the canal so amazing tables on a sunny day. On a rainy day, cozy ambiance with candles and cute corner tables. Get the risotto and try ALL the wine

Duke of Tokyo
@haleysangster
Very fun bar with themed cocktails - you can also rent private karaoke rooms (must do that in advance). It is on the Pride street so tons of other bars in walking distance if you start your night here!

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Olga PS
Hey, lovely Tatchers! My name is Olga. I'm an expat living with my Italian husband in 📍 Haarlem, Netherlands.
I can call myself a travel gem hunter and a professional Google pinner, as I can spend hours just googling around the map of the city where I go, searching for places to check out.
According to a recent Instagram research, my first passion profession should be opening a restaurant (I looooove cooking), and on a second place (drums), I should be creating my travel guides, as all of my friends and friends of friends ask me for travel tips in cities, where they know I’ve been.
I’m also obsessed with finding the fluffiest pillows in the hotels, the most exciting art shows and galleries and the most hidden speakeasy 🙈
So if you’re searching for actual hedonistic pins in:
📍Restaurants
📍Bars
📍 Art places and events
📍Hotels
📍Rooftops
📍Wineries
We’re going to be friends :)
