TRIED & TESTED: ROSA & RITA AMSTERDAM
April 23, 2011
Most striking feature:
Pizza and steak. Their menu is all about those two dishes. I tried the Pizza with mozzarella and basil. Just like my sister who compared it with a pizza we tasted in Italy. So it is as if you’re in Italy and that’s a good sign. I’m not a food connaisseur but if Johannes van Dam (the restaurant reviewer from the Netherlands) gives this place a 9, well: then it’s good. The interior is simple but fantastic. It’s located in an old warehouse and you see still see the old beams when you look up. Because it was sunny yesterday we sat outside their terrace with picknick tables. Oh, and it’s really affordable as well (I tried the most expensive pizza which costs 11 euro).

TRIED & TESTED: DE BURGERIJ ANTWERP
April 11, 2011
Most striking feature:
Their burgers. Okay, you can choose a salad or a wrap but the menu mainly consists of burgers. I tried the Dolce Vita burger with tomato, pancetta and provolone. It’s always a hard thing to eat a burger like a lady – especially if they’re this big. So don’t go here on a first date. We sat outside on their terrace: a lovely place to spend the afternoon in the sun. This square in Berchem, outside the center of Antwerp, is filled with terraces and has a local vibe to it. And for us Dutchies – it’s just off the highway so you don’t need to drive into the center (good to know if you’re driving from France back to the Netherlands and need a quick burger stop).

TRIED & TESTED: ALBION CAFE LONDON
March 15, 2011
Most striking feature:
A fresh cafe next to the Boundary hotel in the middle of Shoreditch. A good place to have breakfast or lunch before or after a shopping spree. There’s a little store next to it where you can buy all kind of delicatessen. I’ve ordered an omelett with mushrooms. Very simple. There’s also a very simple water can. Outside there’s a terrace (see picture taken in the evening).

TRIED & TESTED: BARBICAN FOOD HALL LONDON
March 14, 2011
Most striking feature:
The Barbican is famous for it’s great exhibitions, but there’s more. The Food Hall for example. This is a great venue for a quick lunch or something to drink. You will find Kettle chips next to a chocolate croissant. It’s also kids friendly. You will find some games for them in the back of the restaurant. In summer they open their terrace.

TRIED & TESTED: STORM ANTWERP
February 6, 2011
Most striking feature:
It’s located underneath the MAS. A new museum which opens in May. The museum is about Antwerp and it’s port, but it’s nearby Felix Pakhuis so this area of Antwerp – called ‘t Eilandje – is getting hotter by the day. The interior is simple but fantastic. Green with wooden elements. You can go there for lunch, dinner of just some drinks. In summer they open a terrace.
