The foodie hunger is upon us. We ate our fill in the nicest (and tastiest) city in the Netherlands (Amsterdam).

What's new (and/or always good) in town? We update this weekly on the website (I'll share the link in my stories), but going through this list is also a good idea (I did it myself):

* Little Bonfire (we especially love the snacks/appetizers and the patio (and the decor!). Hip, popular, yeah, but above all, really fun)
* Nikotin Restobar (hottest news in town and yes, rightly so)
* Boon & de Koot (any place with egg mayo has our hearts. We also love everything else here)
* The Marlin Bar (new in South; sweet, fun, tasty and cozy in the Amsterdam South style)
* BonBurger Bar (stand alone snack-plus tent in town)
* Kaagman & Kortekaas (got a new look and will always have 10 points)
* Petit Péché (we love Petit Peche and its big brother Bar Beurre)
* Café de Tros (actually the same comment as above) (Europizza and Helling 7 also fall into that category)
* Veneur (as if we were in Paris, very nice, very good)
* Café Café (best after-work spot in town)
* Stacks (love for everything Southern and therefore also for Stacks and his Deli)
* Sandberg (surprise at the Stedelijk)
* Counter (okay, also a lunch spot because it's the best price-quality spot in 020)
* Barracuda (5 times a week if possible)
* Café de Zwaan (by far the most pleasant)
* Eetcafé de Reiger (because when Mara Grimm says go, then you go)
* By the Fire (next to Hanger, as if you were sitting with friends)
* Café Parlotte (shells for life) (oh, and Toscanini around the corner was also nice).

And no, for those in the back: "We at Barts Boekje" never claim to be food critics—that's what Mara Grimm is for—but we do promote what we think is cool, fun, enjoyable, and yes, also delicious. Disclaimer number two: this list is in random order. Wow!
