Toscanini

Sitting in this restaurant is like sitting in a local Italian restaurant in Italy. In reality you are in Amsterdam!

They serve great Italian food in a friendly neighbour hood-type restaurant. A friendly staff makes this a nice place to lunch or dine.

I spent some 2 hours here and enjoying every minute of it! Don’t forget to order dessert, I highly recommend their panna cotta al caramello…..just heavenly! Finish your lunch with a expresso machiato is always a good idea, it’s walking distance at Magnani next door.

For sure I am coming back!

Bon appetite!

Just by walking into this fashionable world you get the inspiration you need and want!

For a little break or lunch you have to go to the topfloor. Where this delicious cake of “Rosebakery” is waiting for you!

AESOP

The Australian beauty brand Aesop finally openend his doors in one of the most beautiful streets of Amsterdam.

The very first time I saw this brand was during my visit in Paris.

I immediately felt in love with the product and the interior, very well designed.

Aesop is well known for his rich bodybalm and handwash. It’s a pure joy in a bottle.

Leaving Amsterdam without visiting Aesop is not done!

Wilde Zwijnen

Restaurant Wilde Zwijnen is a cozy modern nordic restaurant, located in Amsterdam Oost.

The interior is not typical Dutch, but with a Scandinavian touch. The restaurant uses fresh seasonal ingredients. You can eat in the restaurant or at The Eetbar, where you can choose to sit at a table or at a bar.

They also have a terrace where you can have lunch or have dinner, or just enjoy a good glass of wine in the sun.

What I really love abouth this place, besides the good food and friendly staff is the handmade ceramic serving plates!
