Places to Eat
 
We usually eat breakfast and dinner in the RV and have lunch out. So we do not know much about dinner restaurants.  We also avoid having lunch in places where there is waiter service.  We are in Europe to see things, not to take a lot of time to eat.  Our usual in Amsterdam is to grab a bite from a street vendor or in a sidewalk cafe.  Ron loves the fried fish or the buttery Dutch nieuwe haring (new herring).  Adelle likes the fried potatoes, which much better than our french fries, and are called Vlaamse Frites in this part of the world.  She also likes the vegetarian Mediteranean style pitas.  And both of us like the fried chicken in Febo's, a chain that offers food in little coin-operated compartments similar to the now long defunct Horn and Hardout Cafeterias that used to be in New York City.  Dutch pancakes also make a very nice lunch.  Many sidewalk cafes serve them.
 
To supplement our meager experience in this area, we offer you links to several websites that provide reviews of Amsterdam restaurants.
