Starter of breaded smoked ox cheek marinated in Guinness at beef temple @thebeefsteakclubamsterdam. While it was delicious, we didn't really see the point of the creamy sauce on the side when a pickle or chutney would've worked wonders here. That said, there was so much flavour here, we still enjoyed it and just ignored the sauce. #tbt #latergram #newintown #thebeefsteakclub #oxcheek #starter #meatlover #amsterdamfood #amsterdamrestaurantguide #lekker #foodstagram #amsterdameats #yum #amsterdamrestaurants #gramthedam #igersamsterdam #expatsinamsterdam #visitamsterdam #highlyrecommended #iamsterdammagazine #iamsterdam (at The Beefsteak Club by Charles&Charley)

Tbt Friday night's deep-fried bao bun with mango ice-cream and miso caramel at #barkarakter. Guys, it was so goddamn good, and I'm normally not a fan of ice cream sandwiches. The crispness of the shell, the salty-sweet sauce and the cool creaminess of the mango middle, it just works! #dessert #summerfood #amsterdambars #amsterdamfood #icecream #baobuns #amsterdameats #gramthedam #lekker #wheretoeatinamsterdam #instafood #igersamsterdam #oudwest #barbites #amsterdamrestaurantguide #toetje #amsterdamfoodtrends #trending #yum #amsterdamrestaurants #dotrythis #iamsterdammagazine #iamsterdam (at Karakter)

What a nice change from the usual bitterballen. Crispy crab balls at Bar Karakter went down a treat with a cold beer last night. #barkarakter #thebaobar #foodstagram #amsterdambars #instafood #oudwest #igersamsterdam #amsterdamfood #amsterdamrestaurantguide #lekker #amsterdamrestaurants #gramthedam #wheretoeatinamsterdam #crabcakes #visitamsterdam #barbites #asianfood #expatsinamsterdam #amsterdamguide #iamsterdammagazine #iamsterdam (at Karakter)

They may not be IG gold, but for me these garlicky vineyard snails were an absolute highlight of our #iensinsider lunch yesterday at #brasserieambassade. There was so much good stuff on the table yet I kept going back (and back again) for these.🍋🥖🐌 🍇 #amsterdameats #amsterdamrestaurants #amsterdamrestaurantguide #snails #frenchfood #wheretoeatinamsterdam #frenchrestaurant #expatsinamsterdam #visitamsterdam #foodstagram #lekker #iensinsiderboatevent #gramthedam #amsterdamrestaurantguide #instafood #iamsterdammagazine #iamsterdam (at Brasserie Ambassade)

Lately it seems as if steak tartare has become a vehicle for chefs to show off their creativity, with twists on the classic that may seem clever but often fall flat or overwhelm. Not so at The Beefsteak Club, where a confident chef pairs well-aged beef with the traditional capers, mustard, eggs, pickles and onions, with dots of Parmesan mayo. 👊🏻 #steaktartare #newintown #steakhouse #thebeefsteakclub #bestinclass #lekker #highlyrecommended #beef #meatlover #amsterdamrestaurantguide #instafood #amsterdamrestaurants #gramthedam #wheretoeatinamsterdam #amsterdam #igersamsterdam #visitamsterdam #expatsinamsterdam #jordaanrestaurants #iamsterdammagazine #iamsterdam (at The Beefsteak Club by Charles&Charley)

Lekker hoor! Urban Cacao nails the ultimate Amsterdam souvenir with its chocolate bar packaging ft the city's emblematic St. Andreas Crosses. And, what's more, this caramel sea salt milk chocolate bar actually tastes really good, too. #notspon #amsterdamshopping #lekker #urbancacao #9straatjes #localfood #amsterdamchocolate #visitamsterdam #gramthedam #igersamsterdam #yum #chocolate #chocolatebar #amsterdam #standreascrosses #expatsinamsterdam #foodstagram #iamsterdammagazine #iamsterdam (at Urban Cacao De 9 straatjes)

This study in beige & green may look very innocent at first glance, but wow does it pack an umami punch! Hollandsche Nieuwe (soused herring), kohlrabi marinated in a buckling tosazu, green strawberries, cauliflower cream & nasturtium leaf. An interesting dish in every positive sense of the word! #restaurantbreda #casualfinedining #hollandschenieuwe #sousedherring #kohlrabi #strawberries #cauliflower #amsterdamrestaurantguide #lekker #foodstagram #recommended #yum #gramthedam #amsterdamrestaurants #amsterdameats #huffingtonposttaste #wheretoeatinamsterdam #recommended #visitamsterdam #expatsinamsterdam #iamsterdammagazine #iamsterdam (at Restaurant BREDA)

Petit Gateau is still one of the better places to stop off for coffee and cake in Centrum. These "miniminis" never get old! #petitgateau #saltedcaramel #pistachio #whitechocolatestrawberry #passionfruit #wheretoeatinamsterdam #cakeshop #wheretoeatcakeinamsterdam #tarts #pastryshop #expatsinamsterdam #visitamsterdam #igersamsterdam #wheretoshopinamsterdam #cake #coffeedate #coffeebarsamsterdam #foodstagram #gramthedam #taartjes #indulgence #iamsterdammagazine #amsterdamrestaurantguide #lekker #yum #centrumshopping #iamsterdam (at Petit Gâteau)

This grilled octopus with sobrassada sausage, yellow tomato ketchup, pil pil and piquillo was expertly paired with a fruity Rodenbach red ale aged on oak for 2 years at the recently opened Bar Alt. It was part of an impressive line-up and all I can say is GO! Oh and they do have vin naturel wines if beer's not your bag. #newintown #beerpairing #baralt #lekker #octopus #casualfinedining #beerbars #stadionplein #amsterdambars #yum #amsterdamrestaurants #visitamsterdam #amsterdamrestaurantguide #seafood #gramthedam #igersamsterdam #mooi #theartofplating #rodenbach #pretty #beautifulcuisines #foodstagram #food #expatsinamsterdam #zuidrestaurants #iamsterdammagazine #iamsterdam (at Bar Alt)

Next time I visit The Beefsteak Club - and there will be a next time! - I'll be ordering Andrew Nicholls' anything-but-naff pina colada for dessert. Made with Andrew's very own William George Rum, frozen pineapple and a proprietary coconut mix, it's tropical yet totally grown up. No wonder there's been a bit of buzz about it. #pinacolada #thebeefsteakclub #newintown #williamgeorgerum #cocktails #amsterdamcocktailbars #amsterdamrestaurantguide #amsterdambars #steakhouse #visitamsterdam #expatsinamsterdam #gramthedam #igersamsterdam #iamsterdammagazine #iamsterdam (at The Beefsteak Club by Charles&Charley)

Turns out that working on a piece called "Coffee & Cake" is a great excuse to have coconut cake for breakfast.

At newly opened beer-themed casual fine dining restaurant, Bar Alt, the citrus tones of Partizan's Lemon & Thyme Saison cleverly complement corvina ceviche with yoghurt, Madame Jeanette chilli, cucumber tigre di leche and a red onion crisp. A witty twist on the Peruvian classic, with a sting in its tail, and just one of 7 (!) delightful courses we tasted last night. My advice? Get there fast, before the buzz gets going. It's by the folks behind Jacobsz, need I say more? #aboutlastnight #newintown #baralt #beerpairing #ceviche #corvina #lekker #summerfood #amsterdambars #yum #amsterdamrestaurants #zuidrestaurants #foodstagram #instafood #gramthedam #amsterdamrestaurantguide #delicious #huffingtonposttaste #newintown #highlyrecommended #newinamsterdam #expatsinamsterdam #visitamsterdam #iamsterdammagazine #iamsterdam (at Bar Alt)

One of the questions I get asked most often is "Where can I get a good steak in Amsterdam," and I now have a definitive answer. For the city's best damn steak - bought in with care, aged just right and cooked with love on a Josper - it's The Beefsteak Club all the way! Oh, and single girls, if you are wondering where all the boys are, here's a hint: they are not at Sla. I was one of only 3 (!) female patrons in the place last night. 🤣 #newintown #thebeefsteakclub #steak #austrianrib #simmenthaler #meatlover #goodfood #highlyrecommended #wheretoeatinamsterdam #foodstagram #beef #expatsinamsterdam #lekker #amsterdamrestaurants #jordaan #visitamsterdam #igersamsterdam #iamsterdammagazine #iamsterdam (at The Beefsteak Club by Charles&Charley)
