Amsterdam is simply teeming with all sorts of cafes, snacks, restaurants, bakery, etc. So, problems with the place where you can have lunch or dinner, you definitely will not arise - such places are more than 300 in Amsterdam: about 100 French restaurants, 33 Italian, 70 Asian (including Japanese, Vietnamese, Thai, Chinese and etc.), 37 restaurants of Mediterranean cuisine, 11 restaurants with seafood, 6 Moroccan, 4 Belgian, 8 Spanish restaurants, Greek and Indian. There are 7 restaurants for vegetarians. There are small snack bars, there are lovers with all McDonalds: about 10, in the very center on Nieuwendijk, 70, near the famous hotel "Art'el Amsterdam", also on Damrak, 8, two steps from Sexmuseum Amsterdam, two more near Sexmuseum Amsterdam Dame Square, well, etc.
Combo in McDonalds costs about 6.5 euros.
Prices in restaurants differ very strongly. In the cheapest eateries, you can nourish 4-5 euros (for example, in the cafes on the streets you can buy an excellent shawarma somewhere for 5 euros, the pizza euro for 4, a hamburger for 3-4 euros).
In luxury restaurants, you will have to fork out for a decent amount. Well, the average account in an inexpensive cafe is approximately 12-20 euros per person. La Rive restaurants with a beautiful rich selection of wines and Ciel Bleu are considered the most elegant on the 23rd floor of the Okura Hotel.
Cheap cafes abound: "Vlaams Friteshuis VleminckX" on Voetboogstraat 31 (next to the "Dansen Bij Jansen" club) - a great place to taste the FRI potashchka with sauces and roast and to spend no more than 3-euro.
And in "Wok & Zo" in the "9 streets" area, namely, on Runstraat, 1 prepare a delicious noodle with seafood. Some restaurants are preparing a honeycomb food, which is also very convenient. In general, the Little Snacks "Frituur", mostly, next to the public transport stops, as well as the FEBO snack bars, where you can buy ready-made sets (cutlets, potatoes fries, etc.) in the packaging in automata.
Also there you can buy a Dutch chip -Crokets in crispy breading with a variety of stuffing (cheese, meat, noodles, vegetables, potatoes)
In general, it is impossible to say that in this country a large number of national dishes. But, of course, the country is proud of its various cheeses (Gaud, Edam, Masdam). They can be bought in special stores and ordinary supermarkets. Love the Dutch salted herring (you can buy in a special package on every corner),
pea soup (with the addition of smoked sausages and potatoes),
Datspot (stew or boiled beef with vegetable carrot, potatoes and onions as a side dish),
Stamppot (potato mashed potatoes with boerenkool and sa bloodies-worst),
As well as his variety - ZUURKOOL STAMPPOT with sour cabbage.
All this is tasty, simply and satisfying, though, at first glance, the puree may seem like a Russian person quite unusual for taste. Also, you can try Hachee (hashiee).
Something similar to our favorite walk, and is a stewed meat with onions and spices, in particular, with a carnation, and is served with potatoes. By the way, they love to grasp the dutch of the Dutch apple mousse, even meat and vegetable dishes. These are oddities!
From desserts you can select RijstPap (Cold Sweet Rice Porridge)
and toetjes (sweet pudding, caramel, chocolate, etc.).
