To get some real dutch food; hop on the train to Scheveningen (20-30 mins), plenty of resaurants on the beach.

Because they don't do real dutch food in Amsterdam?

Humphreys is very nice, and not too far from Centraal.

I'm in Noordwijk aan Zee earlier in the week, so will try their seaside herring

Can anyone recommend some good restaurants to go to.

Going over there soon and wouldn't mind some recommendations both "contractor type" and "non contractor type" that anyone may have eaten at.

La Rive in the Amstel Hotel is quite contractorish, as is Yamazoto in the Okura.

Sorry, I don't really eat in cheap restaurants, certainly not in Amsterdam.

I know a couple of affordable places in Haarlem though. Specktakel is worthwhile.

Whatever you do, don't eat in the floating Chinese restaurant opposite the library. People at TomTom called it the 'Clostridium Palace'.

Take the train to Haarlem instead and eat at Lambermon's.

Any more suggestions?

Steakhouse Piet de Leeuw

haven't been there for a few years but have fond memories of smoked eel and good steaks in this lovely old place.

With a little horseradish and toast.

Yum

Is that 'pint' as in ' 6 pints' or 'pint' as in huge spl1ff.

We can't have all been to the same one?? Must be more than one.

I've a feeling there were quite a few. Possibly Gauchos (excessive Flash warning} which has 4 in Amsterdam.

we were in amsterdam for our honeymoon last year.
it is remarkable how many argentinian steakhouses there were!
it seemed like there was one on every block!

[Scrag Meister]

I can't remember the name either. In my defence we had popped in for a 'pint' beforehand.

The one opposite the police station? I went there and it was rather good.

I honestly can't remember. I'm pretty sure it was somewhere quite central.

It was quite an action packed weekend now I think about it. We did a rock concert (amazing barbecues) plus party in Germany the day before, and Brussels (and another fine restaurant) the day after.

Do you know what they call a 1/4 pounder with cheese in Amsterdam ?

Had my first ever Big Mac meal in Amsterdam. I'd never seen a Maccy D's before I went there! They cam to round us a while afterwards.
