Food & Footie

Food & Footie

On our last night in Amsterdam, we were extremely tired, cranky that we had to get on another long flight the next day and super hungry. We walked (and walked and walked) trying to become inspired by one of the string of cafes we passed nearby our hotel. After what seemed like forever, we stumbled (almost literally, as our feet were killing us) upon O’Reilly’s Irish Pub, just past Magna Plaza off Dam Square. Amsterdam is a food culture melting pot, so we weren’t surprised at the Irish pub, but we were pleasantly surprised that we liked it.

The interior was quite spacious, with lots of tables outside (though it was chilly and no one was sitting outside), tables near the windows, tables near the bar and the full area, tables with the big-screen TV that had a soccer game on.

As an American, we could give a rat’s hiney about soccer, but we really got swept up into the excitement of the fans. When the food came - we split Mediterranean chicken, roasted baby potatoes and garlic bread - we got even more excited. It was delicious! So much so, that we were fighting over the last baby potato (we ended up splitting it. ha!) I even splurged a bit and ordered desert, a hot apple crumble with toffee crunch on top, with sides of ice cream and custard to melt on top. Yum-my!

All that yummy food and desert and drinks came to 30 Euro.

I have no idea who won the soccer game. All I know is that it was a great way to top off a good stay in Amsterdam.
