WHERE TO EAT IN AMSTERDAM !

I've been told that my previous post was good but, that I haven't shared any addresses, so I thought about it and yeah you probably want some addresses for your next trip to Amsterdam!
Well here are the places I've been!

Moeder's:

The Mother's restaurant, they actually collected pictures of the mothers of their clients, now on the walls, you can see hundreds of pictures along with antique pans, plates and biscuit tins. In that restaurant you'll taste their famous Hotchpotch (you can have it vegetarian if you like), that is kind of the traditional plate...the service is really nice, the food...was quite good, not amazing though but that's probably because I'm french we're kinda picky with food! 

If you want traditional, go there!!

Toos&Roos :

Fan of pancakes and bacon, well in this place they kindly mix both with on top of its cheese and icing sugar! You prefer a little soup, worry not they have it too, pumpkin soup, thaï soup or chickpea soup, you have a choice and all of them are delicious and well presented, what about the service? the best you can ask for, great people, kind and happy to help if you need the advice to visit the City!

De Drie Graefjes:

Well, that is a place to go, ever tried a Crab Burger while drinking a leek soup, served with any kinda tea you like...well me neither until I went there...did I forget to mention the cupcake for desert? Yeah, I think the word you're looking for is YUMMIII!! Plus it is in the center of the City, right next to the shops and the train station, the souvenir shops and everything you want, it is in a small street so you can eat outside without being disturbed by all the people passing through! The girls that served are amazing, they're smiley and it is a real pleasure to eat there!

Café Josélito:

A really very nice Tapas restaurant, they speak English, Spanish, Dutch and French, all to say that they will understand you if you don't speak Dutch, personally I tried to speak Spanish (it's a tapas restaurant) but that was not a success, tried some Dutch that was worse, in the end, they decided for all of us that French was the best choice!

And well this time we ate like for real, not like babies, more like a football team!! I think we choose pretty much everything that was on the menu!!! Not my favorite Tapas restaurant but when you're hungry well I could eat an elephant (yes I do have amazing references...if you can't tell where that quote is from...I strongly suggest you Watch all the Disney again!!)

So that is every restaurant we've been, I don't have lots of addresses, Like I said in my previous Post 3days in Amsterdam I went partying in Leidseplein the pubs, bars and clubs are great, the drinks are a little expensive, like 5euros a shot!

And voilà, I hope you'll like this addresses and if you have any other ideas on where to eat in Amsterdam, please feel free to share it in the comments or if you ever went there I'll love to know what you think of them!!

Did you ever test those restaurants? Or do you want to try them?

3 DAYS IN AMSTERDAM!!

I know I've been MIA when it comes to posts recently, it's almost been a month...wow I didn't see how long I was out of blogging!!
Well, you have my entire apologize, life has been all kind of crazy this past month with Christmas and new year and all...but worry not I AM BACK! and I'm back with a great adventure to tell.
Remember that post I wrote Something about CanariesVSAmsterdam well now there are no more VS since I've done both!!! I'm just returning from Amsterdam and it was awesome, it's a beautiful city, with beautiful weather...cold...really very cold...but beautiful, we had some snow and some Wind and we had the sun! that combination is perfect to me.

Did you know that Amsterdam is so small that you can visit it on foot? well you do have to enjoy walking (it took me like 2 or 3 hours to go through the entire city from East to West...but I was wandering around) otherwise if you don't feel like walking for that long, you can still rent a bike, Amsterdam is the city of bikes...there are even shops there just to customize your bike...that is AMAZING!!! The less amazing thing is that they have priority on pedestrians and if you don't know that or if like me you aren't used to it, it can be a little bit Dangerous, I almost get hit by more than one cyclists!!

What else can I say about that gorgeous city of fun...well I can say that 5 days is enough to discover the entire place, it is rather small but there is so much to see, the museums like Anne Frank or Stedelijk Museum, the museum of sex, of torture, Amsterdam Dungeon you kind of have the choice.
If you're not really into museums you've got the red quarter, the coffee shops, the Architecture is amazing there, I told you I loved that city, and the canals...you cannot miss the canals , there everywhere...well that is probably the complete architecture of Amsterdam, you also have markets, like the flower market or the artists market (not sure how that's called but I've seen Something like that ).
The bad point of all this is the restaurants...you don't have a real traditional restaurant...with a particular course...sure there are things that are different from what we're used to, like a Crab Burger or Bacon pancakes...But it was hard enough to find those!
I hope that will help those of you, who wants to visit Amsterdam some day or at least gives you the envy to go!! I did not regret it for a Second!!! Oh and I forgot, of course, you have Pubs, bars, and clubs...there all in the same spot, in Leidseplein!
I rent an apartment on Airbnb so I cannot tell you about youth hotels or other places to stay and if they're good, clean or anything, just know that it is amazing and that you have to go there some day!!!

Have you ever been to Amsterdam? What do you think of it?

HOW MY DECEPTION FOR NOT GOING TO AMSTERDAM GETS REWARDED BY GOING TO THE CANARY ISLANDS!!

Everything began on Wednesday, October 21st, 2015, when my friends and I regrouped in a Tapas Bar named "El Toro", which is quite nice by the way!
Well, we regrouped to talk about our soon to come weekend trip in the great city of Amsterdam on October 30th, happy girl that I am to go in Amsterdam on my birthday (the trip wasn't planned for my birthday but come'on they choose the date of my B-day weekend!!).
Well, my happiness did not last very long, since one of our "dearest" friends decided to call off on us...problem is, she was the one with the freaking car!!!
Totally disappointed, I want to cry my soul out, thanks to that girl, Amsterdam is now postponed to January 8th, 2016....I go home almost crying like a spoiled brat who didn't get what she wanted!!
The day after that I go to work, like every Thursday, trying to face quite normal, it didn't last either because while opening my email box I found ... not one but TWO email named something like "Fancy a weekend in Amsterdam?? Book with us!!" or "Amsterdam...the favorite destination for October"...PLEASE END ME NOW!!!
Then after watching my computer with a look that could kill a ghost...I go back to work has it almost never happened.
You think that my torment is over?...haha...no it is not! my colleague, seeing my sad face tried to cheer me up by telling me this "hey girl!! come I'll show you what you can visit in Amsterdam for your weekend, you'll have so much fun, Lucky you!", at this point, I was pretty sure... I had done something wrong and God or karma, or any forces in this great universe had something against me!
I go back to my post depressed like hell, when finally my boss came at me, telling me that he has a great news for me...at first I thought "he is going to finish me off with Amsterdam" well I waited, trying to figure out what he was going to announce me, finally he said "what do you think about ME sending YOU to the Canary Islands in December?"
"WAIT, WHAT????" was my first reaction (Inside my head of course).
Real reaction "I would LOVE it!!", "great I put your name on the list for it"....MEN, sometimes I really do love that job!!!
That's how I went from disillusion to amazingness in one day!!

What about you, tell me about your despair!!
