It's all about Food & Beverage, it's a hobby, a passion and my work. So a lot here is about all the gastronomic encounters. Unfortunately not all but certainly the majority. So every suggestion for a place to try, let me know ! -x- P.

Eataly - Torrino / Italia
Eataly
Via Nizza 230
10126 Torino (Lingotto)
Italia
http://www.eataly.com/
What can we say .. a combination (for the Dutch foodies) between the Markthallen in Rotterdam, The Food hallen in Amsterdam, the new Jumbo Foodmarket. Combining the food for preparation at home, to go for a quick bite or just to eat inside. From the best espresso untill the best fresh fish and everything in between. Completed with presentation rooms. It's a foodies heaven. The prices of the ingredients are not for everyone (especially the fresh fish) but the items to eat in are good priced. Especially for the quality served. And it was full (not too many seats but all full).
Only two pictures that shows how they present their fresh bread and fish it's just a big treat :-) And of course they have fresh vegtables and fruits. They do have pastries, meat, pasta, chocolates etc, etc ....
Even a special café for the best espresso after the meal :-) And that espresso is really good, best one of those two days. If in the proximity you should definitely have a look and take your lunch there. If you sit between the fish and meat preparation areas you can order both :-)
They also serve for onlt € 1,00 bread and water as much as you want. And good quality bread - of course fresh from the own bakery. And a whole bottle of sparkling or still water as well. It's a treat to eat here. Should definitely work in Amsterdam ... :-)

Loetje aan 't IJ
Loetje aan 't IJ
Werfkade 14
1033 RA Amsterdam
http://loetjeaantij.loetje.com/
Been to I think all stores of Loetje. And here in the North of Amsterdam a few times. So I won't say much other than ... place is packed again and .... service and food impecable. They do amaze me though. Every time the same good quality and the same quick and pleasant service. This place is amazing though. Next to the water, nice ceiling (just have a look when you're there) and build in a round - like it very much !
So I wrote my first small visit in 2007 I think .... still one of the best to date ... Impressive !
So only will put 1 photo who says it all ...

19 IT - Amsterdam
Bar Restaurant 19IT
Tweede Jacob van Campenstraat 140
1073 XZ Amsterdam
+31 20 36 22 300
http://www.19it.nl
Rather new (during the time of this blog) is this bar restaurant a little of the 'high' streets but in the perfect 'Pijp' neighbourhood. A very stylish interieur with an open bar in stead of an open kitchen. Small preparations and coffee from an open bar. That's really something else and gives a good vibe. The staff can look from the monitors in the back and they really come right away so no feeling coming into a place were you need to waite for some attention ...
Two italian chefs that use fresh ingredients and pay a lot of attention to the presentation of the plates. It came to my attention and since they have a small breakfast offer just ran in for a small visit. They even have a flag outside saying The Breakfast Club De Pijp. Actually they don't have very much for breakfast so we ordered a smoothie and a sandwich (looked like 'Speltbrood' from BBrood) egg with salmon. referring to the breakfast is a bit of strange ... All very well presented and very tastefull. And a very well made cappuccino. I know only drink cappuccino in the morning and never during or especially after a meal, but than again I'm not an italian ... :-)
A very nice place, rather quite only table with a mother and daughter next to us. Maybe because it's just so new but looking at the menu Ill be visiting soon for lunch or diner.
