Luden in de Spuistraat. Echt klasse, helemaal top.

I would like to eat Spanish food, Dutch food and Italian food during my trip to Amsterdam.
Spanish food at least one time because I will miss it.
Italian food because I love spaghetti and pizza.
Dutch food because I would like to taste Dutch specialities.

Only I will eat junk food as a last resort.

no but there a lot of asian restaurants, often spicy then, and it's actually much better than the dutch food

In 2009 in the Netherlands I found a place to eat. What do they have there? It's an Italian restraunt selling rolls, pasta and coffee. Where is it? It's in Weena, Rotterdam, in a shopping mall near the Hilton. Why I like it - You get to see Dutch people relaxing and chatting there. It's also very roomy. I have a place to avoid too, that's MaCkers in The Hague Train station. What they have there? Normal Mackers stuff. Where? It's on the ground floor, The Hague Train Station. Why to avoid? The staff kind of look down at you here. I had a bad experience here but in The Netherlands I have found places to eat by just taking a walk around the block. You chill

Well.. not everywhere! more in the country side yes, but a main course in a city is usually around 17/25 euros. Which is basicly the same in Holland.
25 euros for a 3 courses menu is ok i think if you get that in a pretty good restaurant.Some Michelin restaurants participate too

I prefer sea food

Tempura is quite nice

Otaru is also OK, and Sushi voor half price is always great
Tokyo Cafe is pretty nice, but I don't really like the hurrying atmosphere and the way things go there.. quality is indeed pretty good though

true.it's better go there during the week when it's less busy. otaru is nicer and in and out not much more expensive unless you can really eat a lot!

Tempura is quite nice
