like they included cider on the beer menu. wish they had some pnw micros though. we have pretty nice beers up here. Now that's something I haven't seen in the states - cider... Every time I've asked if they serve cider in places in the US, they give me a funny look, as if I'm talking gibberish! I t...

Titus - I'm honoured! :lol: :lol: :lol: Love some of those burgers - when are they opening a franchise either near me or even better in Amsterdam though??? My only problem with a few of those culinary masterpieces is the over-use of green things.... You know, those "healthy" ingredients! M...

Yep - I see the one on the Koningsplein appears quite a lot over the weekends as well. Great idea!

If you check Donniecam as well, you'll see a similar object planted there too...

i think most do so. if you do it really short it is hardly noticable. As I said - you'd better be prepared to name and shame if you have evidence of this... :shock: Perhaps you don't realise just how much extra effort they would have to put into their day to make just a tiny little piece of hash?

Hi Marco - the main problem I've found with "other forums" is that they are often populated by people who either don't go to Amsterdam at all, or just haven't got a clue. I would doubt very much that a reputable coffeeshop would engage in this practice, though sadly, there may well be some...

Just to prove there are, ahem, "healthy" ingredients to be found at Febo, here's the Babelfish translation of the Rundvleeskroket; Who does not know she, the croquettes of the FEBO. The real Dutch croquette where the complete Netherlands in the previous years for warmly has run. This beef ...

Hey!

I resent that accusation!

I can understand much of the confusion here... 1st off, let's get this straight - it ain't fine dining. :lol: For me the best food in Amsterdam is to be found at BurgerBar.nl - hands down, no contest winner... ...

BURGER BAR! There's nothing quite like it! Having just come back this weekend from Amsterdam, I can honestly say this is the best burger I have had in my life. Hands down. No contest. This IS the best. I had the Black Angus with cheese and bacon - the first night a 200g, then the next day, a 250g. ...

Tried to get a bit of kip but the drunk homeless dude sat too close to me is a bit on the ripe side! Fingers crossed - everything's still lookin good for my flight in 3 1/...
