Amsterdam one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world for many reasons the history the architecture the canals and other things but where should you eat and drink when you visit don't worry only scrams got you covered welcome to Amsterdam just landed in Amsterdam we're here for a couple of days and we're going to try and do our best to go to as many bars as many places to eat as many things to see as possible Sarah's here hello and I hope you enjoy this Amsterdam City guide we brought the Manchester weather with us it is drizzly Ferry Manchester that's how I promise it I'm gonna have to run now one sec oh very good there goes our tram anyway taking off [Music] we stayed at the Hard Rock Hotel which is just a stone's throw away from some of the city's best bars it was 500 pounds for three nights but being in walking distance of most of the places that we wanted to go was worth the extra dollar we didn't spend much time there but when we did it was exactly what we needed we've dropped everything off in the room [Music] and now we are going to find a drink the Bulldog bar was just across the Square from the hotel it smells like the devil's lettuce in here right we're outside now because I was just slowly getting high in there with the uh Second Hand fumes from Lucifer's legumes loads of water just felt we've not committed to smoke give me 20 parts of this any day not this specifically just big bibo is one of my favorite places in the world a wall of vending machines filled with various flavors of croquette along with a huge assortment of other snacks like burgers and sausages you just pick what you want pay at the machine and off you go a very good that's the best vending machine in the world and that's a fact today what is that is that one of those so we got the um the Ragu the creamy Ragu the Dutch beef and it is phenomenal it's phenomenal can't lie I want more should we get another one and the sausage one and should we get more it's so easy to get covered away in here wanting to try it all especially after a few drinks thank you it tastes like a primary school cheesy croquette cheese one there's a reason these these places thrive here in Amsterdam and if I was high I'd run about 20 of them and then 20 of the review ones as well [Music] that's amazing that's amazing what is your verdict on fibo delicious I absolutely love fibo and now the wife is a convert as well so uh we're in this bar which is called what Taboo it's called Taboo it's gotten behind it seems to be the vibe here better than it is in England what'd you say was the Carlsberg was in Denmark and what's the same Mr Guinness is an island right got a bit of time to kill for our uh reservation for food at like 9 30 or something so we're gonna go into Rembrandt bar was just around the corner so we sat outside and had a few nights taking [Music] it let's give it a go some sort of wheat beer or something sort of like blue moon it's not even quarter past seven and Sarah is taking me in to 24K karaoke bar they're the only people in it because it's just opened we've got dominance over the karaoke you can do as many songs as we want so this is where you need to practice the songs that you want to sing you've sung it in the car you've sung it in the shower now it's time to get on the microphone and sing it no one's here to judge you except for these two we're about to come in they're here for a show baby in the oven we're still thinking about it maybe if I sing they'll come in oh God now no no no you'll scare them off show's about to start [Music] and now we are gonna go to get what is apparently the best Italian in Amsterdam freshly made pasta right we're here let's have some nice pasta shall we Fierce pesto is a quaint authentic Italian restaurant and the pasta is made fresh in front of your very eyes we got there late on in the day so the chef had finished but apparently it's quite a spectacle we got the meat and bread to start foreign [Music] got the sausage tortellini special that's a very nice sound and I tried to catch you a Pepe [Music] you're serious we are going to have an early night because we had an early start we've got plenty of places to go tomorrow to show you anyway stay an hour baby good night morning the time is almost half eleven Sarah's in the hotel still getting ready I had a thirst when I go to

gorgeous Ted's is a brunch spot that is on pretty much every American influences Tick Tock guide to Amsterdam it's just across the canal from the Anne Frank Museum and to be honest it's stank of tick tock and Instagram [Music] we got the Turkish eggs the eggs benedict truffle and Parmesan waffle fries [Music] and their tick-top viral sensation the sweet chili Fried Chicken donut that you inject with maple syrup for some reason [Music] all right waffle fries a lot of time for waffle fries parmesan truffle oh you could run for a rough of Ryan [Music] so this donut thing saying probably wouldn't order it again but looks cold on it after eating we went for a walk through Central Amsterdam through all the amazing back streets onto Dam Square get the pigeons we'll get them or film them

the red light district looking at stuff today's food and drink Centric Cafe sonneveld is a traditional Dutch Cafe right next to a canal and the perfect place to shift this hangover [Music] this is a Dutch beer called brand the wheat beer wonderful good beer we've got some traditional Dutch food on the way Sarah got the smoked sausage sandwich and I got a plate of Dutch snacks bitter Bowen and some beef sausages [Music] right here we go this is a bitter melon so it is essentially like a like a meat stew that's been deep fried and made into like like a croquette you have it with mustard the guy came over and said you have to have it with mustard it's amazing these are again a traditional Dutch snack called uh what is it called lots of cheese lots of D's when you meant to have this with mayonnaise so a lovely lovely lovely beef sausage so simple that yeah some of those walls bangers it used to rub when we were kids [Music] that's a good sausage so far dot food is a 10. right what's this this is Sarah's breakfast which is a smoked sausage sandwich I mean essentially it's just a hot dog but it's a smoky thick Boy Cafe Somerville if you want some traditional Dutch food put yourself down Vibes are really good in there and these little sausages brilliant brilliant next stop on my mission to find the best chips in Amsterdam was Fable free it when we got there the queue was all the way down the street and across the road the smell was amazing and there were a lot of happy people coming out of the door the chips were cut fresh to order and it was run like a well-oiled machine [Music] we went for the parmesan and truffle Mayo sauce [Music] Moment of Truth what did the biggest potato critic in the world think of them I understand the hype then I'll try it all they're crispy delicious they're not dry [Music] they are good aren't they wow oh wow they're really good I didn't want it babe you really didn't want to admit it didn't you these are insanely good I didn't want to I didn't want to be sucked in by The Tick Tock hype well just listen to how crispy they are we weren't even hungry when we went because we just had a load of foot got Dutch food but I like I feel like we're gonna eat all of these there's some good chips that's some really good chips we headed over to an Old Dutch bar called Cafe hop which was stunning to figure out what to do with the rest of the day definitely Sarah has decided to go back to the hotel to have a nap might just sit here and get pissed I decided to organize a piss-up in a brewery Brewery to IJ is a beautiful place and they brew their Bay in a windmill which is probably the most Dutch thing I've ever seen I wanted to try everything they had to offer so I went in the taste the platter delicious this is the rice beer I think great stuff that's really nice out so this is the seasonal brew this place is amazing though it's currently a little bit outside the city I think like a 20 minute Uber ride away settings lovely the Brewing windmill I think this is the really alcoholic one [Music] doesn't taste like an extra beer at Salt like a brew dog sort of IPA sort of vibe dangerous stuff here because that is incredibly alcoholic it's like drinking a a small glass of wine but it's nice it's the dark beer that they've got it's nice I wasn't expecting that my favorite is the wheat beer might have a little bit of snack as well I'm gonna have a snack I'm gonna get angry of course I'm gonna get a snack there were plenty of snacks on offer but I went for the awesome first box sausage it's like a beef sausage wow but it's very it's very close to like a beef Tartar and with the mustard as well the sausages made by their um their butcher who is oh that looks fit quite the talent I know he's done to this me but it's simply sensational [Music] Sarah's just working up so I'm gonna go get an Uber to go and meet her back at the hotel [Music] we're in the hotel lobby as Sarah has the most alcoholic Long Island Iced Tea I've ever seen there is the tiniest bit of Coke in the bottom there and that we've come to the food food Holland loads of food we're gonna eat it all every single bit of it food Heron is a must visit if you're into your food a plethora of food vendors from every corner of the world serving up their own Cuisine whatever you fancy you will probably get it here first up was jabugo for some Iberico ham laughs very few things I like more than foreign [Music] that place was Sensational next the Dutch meatball company do a barbecue special and boss man told me I had to try it so we did [Music] I love them they're excellent aren't they they're really really nice was our stop for seafood we went for the soft shell crab bail bonds and the crispy white Vape those problems are soft they're so soft [Music] yummy there were some unbelievable smells going out of Taqueria but I couldn't decide what tackle I wanted so I got a tray [Music] I think this is the tuna [Music] food home was amazing really enjoyed it had a wonderful time there she nearly fell I need to go home what a day it's late I'm gonna go to bed try and get up early tomorrow flying home tomorrow which is a shame real shame crying shame we're gonna seize the day baby the sun is finally out in Amsterdam on the day that we're going obviously of course Sarah's still in bed just having a bit of a chill before we get ready to go I'm just gonna head to a pub and soak in this beautiful city for one last time I had a nice relaxing morning drinking by the canal while Sarah had a lion the sun was belting down and I didn't want to miss out on those rays [Music] um Sarah's got a coffee I've got a beer from like gaffe I went yesterday wow I do like it a lot smoke crispy bacon sandwich house was top of my list for Fairly obvious reasons and when we got there it was exactly what it said on the tin the smell from this bacon permeated every street within a mile radius and it truly was a sight to behold I went for the classic bacon and Sarah opted for The BLT [Music] [Music] my word not bacon is insane [Music] never ever made baconess Club ever and I thought I was good at making bacon but this is on a completely different planet gotta get here seriously you've got here the Albert quick Market was the last spot we had time for on this trip with some incredible stores selling an array of fresh food clothes and everything really I had to try some more famous Dutch dishes voendama vich chandel is a popular fishmonger where you can get freshly filleted Herring as well as kibbling which is deep fried Heaven this is I guess this is herring pretty sure that I mean yeah that is raw raw Herring there very oily but very very tasty kibbling which I think is cod's cheap okay this is amazing Dutch food underrated it's underrated let me tell you that much for free across the road was mesave a traditional Israeli Delicatessen selling some fat looking meaty sandwiches there was a big queue so we made this our last stop of the day we went for the shredded ribeye steak sandwich [Music] he's an outrageously good sandwich I have no idea what his beer is there's no idea you're doing good stuff between two pieces of bread it's all you need to know that is all folks get on the plane going back home hope you've enjoyed this Amsterdam City guide and more soon
