[Food Review] Bakhuys Amsterdam: Reasonable Bakery at Weesperplein with Heritage Since 1926

 Bakhuys Amsterdam - Thumbnail


When discussing the bakery scene in Amsterdam, Bakhuys Amsterdam is always among the top recommendations. Conveniently situated right in front of Waterlooplein metro station, it is consistently bustling with people. Given its convenient location, I have dropped by a couple of times, though I hadn't considered writing about it until one day when I decided to do just that. In this post, I've combined my experiences from multiple visits.


For a more detailed perspective, please check out my YouTube video linked above.


Bakhuys Amsterdam - Showcase

Regardless of what Amsterdammers may think, when compared to its neighboring German, Belgian, or French cities, the bakery scene in Amsterdam is not particularly impressive. While the city is expanding and more interesting places are emerging, many of them fail to deliver truly satisfying bakeries or pastries, especially when considering their prices.

Bakhuys Amsterdam - Pizzas

While I wouldn't claim that Bakhuys Amsterdam boasts the best pastries in Europe or even in Amsterdam, what appeals to me is its rugged and straightforward style, coupled with reasonable pricing. They aren't overly expensive, yet the quality is consistently decent. As depicted in the pictures, they steer clear of unnecessary sophistication and decorative frills in their pastries.

They have been passing down their bakery through generations. Opening their doors in 1926, they have been baking sourdough breads, pastries, viennoiseries, and cakes ever since. The establishment is not just a bakery but also a welcoming café, offering a breakfast menu until 2 PM.

Bakhuys Amsterdam - Bread

What I like to buy in this store is more of Dutch style bread rather than buttery pastries. Their small buns, sometimes filled with some almond jam or other fillings, are not overly sweet and have mild and clean taste. I sometimes purchase their croissants, which are more reminiscent of an old-school style and are quite large in size.

Bakhuys Amsterdam - Interior

To be honest, aside from the price factor, if someone were to ask for my top pick for pastry goods in Amsterdam, I would choose Grammes. However, getting to Grammes can be a hassle, and considering its higher price point, I find myself visiting Bakhuys more often. Despite this, Bakhuys is still a decent option, and I particularly appreciate the friendly staff.

[Food Review] - Yokomo: Amsterdam's Japanese Peruvian Nikkei Food Concept, Asian Fusion Spanish / Latin Restaurant.

For the past couple of years, alongside Korean cuisine, one of the hottest culinary trends in the world must be Peruvian cuisine. Thanks to its diverse spectrum ranging from Nikkei to Chifa, Peru and its capital Lima, led by Central , the country's unique cuisine have garnered a lot of attention from all over the world. You can even find traces of it in Amsterdam.   Yokomo, a Peruvian-Japanese restaurant specializing in Nikkei cuisine, is located in a charming corner of Maastraat, Amsterdam. To be honest, I've never been to Peru, and my only experience with Peruvian cuisine so far has been at Chifa in Los Angeles, which is Chinese-Peruvian cuisine, so my excitement increased quite a bit. Even before visiting, some of my coworkers went there and also gave positive reviews. PATATAS BRAVAS €6.50 We had six people for dinner and ordered quite a lot of food that day. Please find the YouTube video below for the full dinner that night. We started our meal with patatas bravas, which ...

[Food Review] Fuku Ramen - The Hottest Ramen Place in Amsterdam

  Almost simultaneously, several people recommended a place to me: Fuku Ramen. They mentioned that despite not being run by a Japanese person, the quality of the ramen exceeded expectations, surpassing that of any other ramen joint in Amsterdam. Intrigued by these reviews, I decided to visit. However, I hadn't anticipated that the rain would begin to fall just as I joined the queue. I hadn't expected the rain, and to add to it, the line moved at a snail's pace. Now, while the information has been corrected, it wasn't entirely clear whether they accepted reservations for the weekend or not. Several of us in line assumed it was walk-in only for the weekend, but it turned out they did accept reservations. It was a bit confusing at the time. Nonetheless, after waiting about an hour in the rain, I finally secured a seat at the bar. Despite knowing the price beforehand, I was still a bit taken aback when I confirmed it: a bowl of ramen priced at over 20 Euros. There were two ...

[Food Review] Yangon Delight: The Very First Burmese Restaurant in Amsterdam

When it comes to Asian food, Amsterdam doesn't offer as much variety as its neighboring cities like London or Paris. For example, Korean options are very limited, and Japanese cuisine is more skewed towards ramen and sushi. For Chinese food, we are now seeing Northeastern restaurants and hot pot places starting to pop up, but there is still a lack of diversity. In terms of Southeast Asian cuisine, while Delft has some Lao and Cambodian options, Amsterdam mainly has Indian, Indonesian, and Thai restaurants, with a very limited number of Vietnamese and Malaysian establishments. One good thing about Amsterdam is that, due to the city's exponential growth, new establishments keep opening. I sometimes google terms like "Sri Lankan Amsterdam" or "Lao Amsterdam" to see if there are any new restaurants. One day, I randomly typed "Burmese Amsterdam," and to my surprise, a Burmese restaurant had just opened its doors for the first time in Amsterdam. I had be...
