Eating in Amsterdam : Wed Apr 03, 2013 5:38 pm  

Just arrived for 1 night only. Staying just off Herengracht about 5-10 minutes walk from Central Station. Any recommendations for reasonably priced good food without walking miles? Preferably somewhere with quite a few places to choose from. On my own so not too fussy. Cheers.

I hear you can get some cracking muffin, or carpet burger.

But seriously Dally, we're not impressed you're in Amsterdam, we'd be quite relieved if your hotel didn't have internet access though.

Just go for reisstaffel. Failing that just get ratted and have frikadellen & chips on the way home

As nobody replied in time I just went for a walk and came across this place whose name I recgnised from the internet: http://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant_R ... vince.html Was pretty good.

Just leave Amsterdam the way you found it. I'll be arriving in a fortnight and don't want it messed up.

And yes! The revamped Rijksmuseum will be fully open again just before I get there!

It's a pretty messed-up place without my influence!

I'm going tomorrow. Any RLFANS Top Tips welcome.

I liked Restaurant Vijff Vlieghen (The Five Flies ... great name eh?) which is a bit of an institution and has been there years but recent reports on TripAdvisor don't agree with my experience.
It's a touch pricey but a charming place.

As Cod'ead mentions, a reistafel at one of the Indonesian restaurants is a must.
Indonesian is to Amsterdam as curry is to the UK.

Plenty of places in the red light district offering the opportunity to munch on a bearded clam or hairy pie
