This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at Muhlenberg chapter.

Amsterdam is known for their weed, prostitution, and bikes, but their food is something you definitely need to try! Here are some delicious hotspots to satisfy your munchies after hitting up the coffeeshops.    

1. Metropolitain (Café de Paris)

Located right in the city center, you’ll find my favorite brunch spot. Where they definitely give you an abundance of avocados on your toast! To make your brunch more boozy order a bloody mary before noon for five euros. 

2. Bakers & Roasters

4. Back to Black Café

Who doesn’t enjoy endless amounts of Asian cuisine in tapas style? HappyHappyJoyJoy offers a zen atmosphere with classic Asian fusion foods and a killer wine selection. 

Next time you are in Amsterdam, be sure to check out these places if you are looking for some top notch food. The city is amazing, but we all know what makes a city truly spectacular is the food, and Amsterdam definitely has that!
