Reviews

Geli told us all about her big family dinner at De Kas, one of Amsterdam’s most favourably reviewed high-end restaurants. It didn’t disappoint.

Cathy reviewed restaurant Moer on the Overtoom, where she had special Crème Brûlée, as well as a rib eye with plenty of sauces.

Geli introduced the EU protected label concept, and which Dutch products come under the bronze label of this scheme. She’ll cover the Netherlands’ silver and gold label products in a future show. We also had our #EatMyDutch segment, this time covering all the different ways Dutch people might refer to carrots, in #Winkelwagon we told you about eco pots spotted at the Ekoplaza, and finally of course our #Markets&More local food events update.
