Eating Amsterdam – Dignita

May24

Restaurant: Dignita

Location: Amsterdam

Date: July 4, 2023

Cuisine: Cafe

Rating: Solid

_

On our final day in the Netherlands we shuffled west to Amsterdam.
1A4A8007
We stopped at this hipster spot in central Amsterdam for a quick lunch.
1A4A8008
Attractive outdoor space. For a country with far worse weather than LA, they sure have a lot more nice outside dining — boo on you LA regulators!
1A4A7990
Salmon Benny — aka benedict but over hash browns. Cute!
1A4A7991
Dutch pancake.
1A4A7993
Avo Toast or similar.
1A4A7995
Cilbir. Turkish eggs and yogurt with a side of bacon.
1A4A8000
Bacon does make everything better.
1A4A8002
Shakshouka with yellow tomatoes.
1A4A8004
Cappuccino. Dignita would do well in LA — it has a similar hipster/international vibe going on and very good “all day brunch.”

Our first night in the Netherlands we went to this local place in Maasbree. It’s basically contemporary dutch.
1A4A7500
1A4A7503
The building
1A4A7504
1A4A7505
The menu.
1A4A7510
Vino.
1A4A7512
Tuna carpaccio. I think this might have been beef with a tuna sauce. It was good regardless.
1A4A7516
Beef Carpaccio.
1A4A7531
Beet Carpaccio.
1A4A7518
Burrata Salad.
1A4A7521
Salmon and Shrimp.
1A4A7523
Tom yum soup.
1A4A7525
Tomato Soup.
1A4A7526
Mustard soup. Yeah, cream and mustard!
1A4A7529
Bread.
1A4A7533
Simple pasta. Not simple enough for the boy.
1A4A7537
Shrimp “Asian style.” Maybe Indonesian.
1A4A7538
Shrimp chips.
1A4A7543
Salmon.
1A4A7545
Sea bass (crusted).
1A4A7535
Bacon burger.
1A4A7539
Beef short ribs.
1A4A7547
BBQ ribs with mayo. These were pretty good, actyually. Covered in sauce.
1A4A7553
Side salad.
1A4A7552
Fries with mayo. The dutch way — but not drowned in mayo in this case.
1A4A7502
Vlaai (pronouced closer to Fly) is the dutch word for pie — they have a lot of it. I suspect they brought it to American in the 18th century.
1A4A7555
A chocolate flourless cake.
1A4A7558
Some other dessert with a lot of ice cream and whipped cream.
1A4A7501
The local specialty vlaai.
1A4A7560
Basically custard tart with whipped cream and chocolate. Yummy!
1A4A7564
Ice cream sundae.
1A4A7567
With the chocolate sauce.
1A4A7563
Coffee.

This wasn’t a highly specific cuisine but it was a very enjoyable meal.
