Rembrandt Waterloo in Nieuwmarkt/Lastage

I’m Colombian and came here hoping to enjoy a bit of home — and overall, it was a really nice experience! The food wasn’t fantastic, but it was tasty and comforting. For Colombians living abroad, this place is definitely a little treasure. We ordered a dish similar to Bandeja Paisa, with rice, beans, pork belly, fried plantain, and avocado — very flavorful and well served. The maracuyá juice was super refreshing and delicious! The only thing that could be improved was the steak, which was a bit tough and not as juicy or seasoned as we usually have it in Colombia. The portions were generous, the service was kind, and the atmosphere felt cozy and familiar. I’d happily come back to try more dishes and enjoy another maracuyá juice! 🇨🇴✨

Excellent ramen, delicious with a delicious, elegant, delicious, incredibly tasty, the staff were adorable, poli, souris, and it was delicious! Thank you very much. The food was delicious.

Delicious food, good wines in a relaxed environment.

On our IJsselmeer bike tour, we also stayed overnight at the Yotel in the north of Amsterdam. We had planned to go to the Mexican restaurant across the street for dinner, but it was a private gathering. However, we lingered outside for a while because a three-piece rock band, using an old American road cruiser as a stage, was playing loud and catchy music for the group. We opted for Plan B and went to Bar Boeket, and we weren't disappointed. Unfortunately, it was very chilly that evening, so we couldn't sit in the lovely outdoor area. The bar itself played chilled music, and we found a nice spot. A large bottle of still water was offered on the house—very nice service! Then we ordered the unusual Estaminet Pils from Belgium, something different from the ubiquitous Heineken. We ordered food from the daily menu: white fish for my companion and Limburg Zuurvlees with fries for me, all of which tasted delicious. Conclusion: We really liked the Boeket bar; when the weather is nice, you can also sit outside.

Delicious food, great menu! The price-quality ratio is excellent. The only downside: when the restaurant is full, it can be a cacophony of noise. A huge plus: one of the few restaurants that serves a real Irish coffee: kudos! Highly recommended.
