5x brunching in Amsterdam

Good morning sunshine. There's a good chance your eyes can't actually handle the light from a phone screen yet if you've been partying hard with Johnny Walker and his buddies last night. Or maybe you've already had a Pilates class this morning. Anyway, Sunday is brunch day. And if you're in Amsterdam, you have to do it here:

Little Collins

Bilderdijkstraat 140, 1053 LA Amsterdam

In de Pijp and recently also in West, but it actually feels like an afternoon in Melbourne. Make sure to set aside some time for it, because you're not the only one who loves to spend Sunday afternoons here.

Starring at Jacob

Jacob van Lennepkade 215, 1054 ZP Amsterdam

In other words, ‘mouthwatering at Jacob. New York-style brunch: crispy chicken with waffles, soft scrambled eggs, and maple syrup. Mark my words, you're definitely going to order that.

Benji’s

Wibautstraat 196 1091 GS Amsterdam

De urban jungle on Wibautstraat. The hungover among us eat a roasted beef bun with onion and truffle mayo here on Sunday afternoons. For the yogis, there are options like Buddha bowls and granola on the menu.

Bakers & Roasters

Kadijksplein 16 1018 AC Amsterdam

New Zealand with a hefty dose of Brazil. For when you're craving something other than an egg salad or roast beef sandwich. This is a must-try, trust me.

Mook Pancakes

De Clercqstraat 34 H 1052 NG Amsterdam, Jodenbreestraat 144 1011 NS Amsterdam

Because of course your body is screaming for a pancake on Sunday. Just from that menu, I get a Pavlov reaction. Banana, homemade chocolate sauce, melted peanut butter, strawberry, blackberries, and cinnamon. I'll see you later.
