8 x weekend tips for Amsterdam/ 5&33
1. Lobster Thursday – 5&33
Every thursday 5&33 is the place to be for a delicious lobster fest! And although this is not officially the weekend yet, it deserves a spot on the list! The price of a 2-course-menu including a glass of bubbles is €35. 5&33 is a cosy spot, where they serve dangerously good cocktails and where the fire is always on. While you enjoy your lobster pasta al dente, you listen to Drake & Raphael Saadiq! Great spot for a date…

2. Nomads – New menu
Restaurant Nomads changes the menu every 6 weeks to a new worldly cuisine. The brand new menu, that was launched this month, is inspired by the Portuguese kitchen! The bread with seaweed butter is great start! Try the authentic cod croquettes and the delicious asparagus. Do not leave the restaurant before tasting the warm, divine Pasteis de Nata!
