Bar Bouquet, Amsterdam North
Let's be honest: you win half the battle with a nice name. Who wouldn't be happy with Bar Boeket?! Look, that's what we thought. You want to be there, and once there, things aren't disappointing either. Ha! On to Amsterdam North, on to Bar Boeket.
Bar Boeket is located within a fun and easy cycling distance from the Buikslotermeer ferry, making it a perfect break for a cup of coffee or a tasty lunch. Or – of course – a top destination on its own for supper. You can cycle from the ferry to the postal code of Bar Boeket on the water in about 10 minutes. The non-standard menu is as cozy as the name with some classics (those things that you like to order very often) such as brioche florentine, baguette beef sausage or an ordinary (but oh so tasty) toasted sandwich. And you are also in the right place for surprising appetites. good: in that case, go for the baguette with garden pea hummus, grilled eggplant and watercress, we thought it was delicious.
You can also shamelessly bring the kids: there is apple juice and white sandwiches with peanut butter or apple syrup. Tasty and nothing wrong with it at all.
The evening menu also looks promising. Who doesn't enjoy manchego with pickled grapes or chicken wings with a drink? We will definitely come back for dinner because reading the menu made our mouths water: prawns, steak tartare, roti with sea lavender and the well-known but always delicious panzanella.
Finally, a little compliment for the drinks menu (at least as important): there are delicious ciders and affordable good wines from Troppo Giovane Wine (you really can't go wrong with that).
In the above story, also consider a yellow tiled wall and some patio tables under a cozy string of lamps on the terrace and a nice evening is guaranteed.
