My lovely friend Andre has been hosting SLAVE at the Supper club every sunday for the past couple of months and they have been ALOT fun. If you love art, good food, dancing, and listening to great Djs, you will have a good time!
The evening program on May the 9th is Guest Curated by Heido Lobato, director of the Africa in the Picture Film Festival. She will be screening one of her favorite African shorts and provide you with a little preview of the upcoming 2010 Africa in the Picture festival.
Live performances by Lake Montgomery (singer songwriter); Born and raised in Paris Texas. Influenced and inspired by Nina Simone, Billy Holiday and Miriam Makeba and the countless old blues mammas that have kicked vocal ass in the past 100 years.

Afterwards the Boogieman Crew will kick mad funk flavor and takes you on a ride across multiple genres, woven by Soulful vocals, lush piano chords, warm bass lines and boom-bap drum patterns.

Burger Meester is not only unbelievably delicious but available at three different locations throughout the city and easy on the wallet (a feat here in Amsterdam). You can order a regular sized burger or a ‘mini’ for half the price, and the menu ranges from Lamb to Tuna and Pumpkin patties.
Having sampled the ‘Mini Trio’ for €10.50, I can confidently recommend the FetaBurger, Meester Biefburger and a PompoenBurger (pumpkin). Or if you’re opting for a healthy route, try their “Burger as a Main” where the burger patty can be served with a salad and no bun for €2 extra.
Check their addresses here, to find the closest one to home.
It’s restaurant week in Amsterdam! This city doesn’t seem to have a reputation of having good affordable food but this week, several participating high class restaurants are offering three-course dinners for 25 euros and three-course lunches for 20 euros. The deal goes on from now until Sunday March 7. Most restaurants are filling up quickly so make reservations ASAP. Here is a list of participating restaurants.
Jamie Oliver’s Restaurant Fifteen is one of the many participating restaurants this week.
The Dutch are known for having incredible apple pie and I am convinced that I have found the best apple pie in Amsterdam. Cafe Winkel serves real Dutch appeltaart everyday of the week in the Jordaan neighborhood. It is so popular that there is usually a line out the door on the weekends all year round. I have been in Amsterdam for only 2 months now and I have probably been there about 8 times. It is that scrumptious. Make sure to get slagroom (whipped cream) and a coffee or mint tea with it. I haven’t found an official website but they are located on Noordermarkt 43.
It can be tough trying to find good affordable food in Amsterdam. But good affordable Mexican food? Yesssssssssssssssss. I had a feast at The Taco Shop last week in De Pijp. Tacos and Burritos range from 3 to 8 Euros and located at Tolstraat 200, 1074 VN Amsterdam.
Cute little store front with seating outside.
Got the smothered chicken burrito. Not too shab for European-Mex food.
