Mark your calendar because May is going to be epic (and disastrous for your diet). Amsterdam is buzzing with almost weekly food events. But there are three events you just have to go to! These three are in my opinion the best events:
The Amsterdam Coffee Festival
The Food Film Festival
The Food Film Festival is a three-day event about food. From tasting to workshops, and from watching food films to debates, it covers anything and everything that has to do with food. Dutch chef cooks will serve up their finest in the restaurant. But also the story behind food is important. Is it clean, good and fair food?

Taste of Amsterdam
Taste of Amsterdam is THE culinary event of the year for me. I never skip it. Holland’s best restaurants and chef cooks present us with bite size food to try and taste. The best wine and cocktails are served. There are workshops and cooking demonstrations, and there is an artisan food market with delicious bio and fair trade products to take home. To get an idea of what it is like visit my review blog post from 2 years ago.
