Spotter since 2023
Hi! My name is Isidore and I was born and raised in Amsterdam. I have always been a curious person so I decided to make it my job! I am a journalist for a Dutch broadcaster and I make shows about breaking stigmas and about topics that are important in today's society. As a journalist, I also LOVE writing a lot. I have written down everything about my travels, I write poetry and now I write about the most beautiful city in the world: Amsterdam!
Why Amsterdam?
Amsterdam is very special in many ways. People get around on bikes and bicycles create a certain freedom in getting around. Not only that: the architecture is very special and the buildings have a lot of history. And lastly, Amsterdam is known for many historic icons such as Heineken, Anne Frank, and Rembrandt. But not only is the city special in these aspects: Amsterdam has a special place in my heart. The city is small enough to give the safe and familiar feeling of a village, but I also like that you can be anonymous on the street as well. I love that I can go to museums, the theater, have some coffee and also have enough access to green spaces. Amsterdam is so kind, I hope everyone will experience it like that when they visit.
I know that sounds dramatic, but their pastries are irresistible! Everything is sourdough based, which means they make their own yeast for the bread.

They have many choices when it comes to sandwiches and their toppings, but I always go for their famous sandwich called 'Broodje Boljeri'...

This ice cream shop in the heart of the 'De Jordaan' neighborhood, is the absolute best! If you can't decide what you want, try the limoncello ice cream.

Good beans belongs to the roastery of 'Fucking Strong Cofffee' and they make blends from beans all over the world. Their slogan: It's coffee, not caviar.

They serve lunch, dinner, and finger food. Their Burrata, which is optional all day, is my personal favorite. And my favorite beer is Saison Dupont.

There is also a greenhouse where locals can bring their compost. In the other garden, there are bees and apple trees, and they sell their honey as well.

The food here is amazing and that is really the reason locals go here. The menu has a lot of options but my favorites are the dim sum and the Peking duck.

It's a gallery with art only made by (people who identify as) women and also a breakfast/lunch (try their pancakes) place where you can chat with a friend.
