We’re in Amsterdam!

| August 30, 2024 12:33 pm

The adventure continues and we are now in Amsterdam after our Ireland trip.

Our first stop this morning was IKEA but that was just to pick up a few essentials.

The first real stop was to visit the best pizza in Europe, La Perla!

La Perla features an authentic wood burning oven where all these tasty pizzas are cooked and they are cooked to perfection.

We don’t have much of an agenda in Amsterdam but to rest after a long trek across Norway and Ireland but we’ll manage to do something fun so stay tuned!

The Best Breakfast and Lunch in The Hague, Netherlands

| November 10, 2017 8:48 am

I recently came back from a trip to The Netherlands and while I love the country, the food (especially breakfast) doesn’t always suit me.   After spending a few days in The Hague, I was really craving bacon, eggs and toast.  I had been out for a walk when I ran across a place called Palmette.   The dish I ordered came with eggs and bacon stacked on a large slab of sourdough bread garnished with arugula.   The blend of bitter, sour, salty complemented with a sweetened coffee really lifted my spirits for the day.  It had been the best breakfast I had while in The Netherlands.

Later in the day, I stopped by at a restaurant named Zebedeus which is attached to an old church.   The menu features a wide range of dishes but curiosity got the better of me and I ordered a burger.  I did not intend on ordering a burger but was intrigued by palmesteyn beef which I had not tried before.  The hamburger (beef) was amazing and I will definitely return to this restaurant next time I am in The Hague – it is officially my favorite restaurant in The Hague.   Don’t forget to add the award winning “39 Bloedbroeder” beer to your meal!
