Mid-morning coffee: VEGABOND

This new spot in the center of Amsterdam is a great place for a soy latte and a glutenfree brownie. Vegabond is a vegan and vegetarian friendly store/coffeebar that sells plenty of glutenfree products, like homemade chocolates and brownies, but also smoothies, cookies, pasta and even deep frozen pizza and lasagna. Their dresscode? Casual with shoppingbag.

Quick breakfast: HEMA

HEMA is a Dutch department store where you can buy affordable Dutch design like stationary and home and kitchen accessories. Some stores have a restaurant and offer a glutenfree breakfast-/lunchbox. The box contains a pack of cornflakes, a roll and a candybar and will be defrosted in the microwave. In addition you get fresh milk, butter and your choice of ham or cheese. The HEMA restaurants are buffet style, but you won't find the breakfast-/lunchbox on display, you have to ask a staff member. It's a basic breakfast or lunch, but it's cheap (only €5) and very convenient while shopping.

This is the place for smoked BBQ in Amsterdam. Think ribs, brisket and pulled pork with homemade BBQ sauce and 2 sides of your choice such as coleslaw or potato wedges. Most dishes are naturally glutenfree and when you notify the staff, your dish will be served without bread. And they have glutenfree beer among the many choices of craft beer. Great for glutenfree dudes.

Dinner on your own: SPAGHETTERIA

Spaghetteria is a pasta bar that serves fresh homemade pasta prepared in a traditional Italian way. Take a seat at the large wooden dinnertable in the middle or at the window bar. You can choose between 6 dishes that change frequently and are available with glutenfree pasta upon request. This is a great place to have dinner on your own or with a friend. It can be busy, but it's worth the wait. Nice Italian wines.

After work drinks: CAFE BRECHT

Brecht is a Berlin-style living room cafe, with a cosy interior and one of the smallest but best terraces in Amsterdam. This is a great place to start your evening in the summer or spend a winterafternoon with a glutenfree beer. However, if you can resist the beer, you should try Lillet, a French aperitif wine with a hint of bitter orange. Its my absolute favourite drink and another good reason to visit Cafe Brecht.

Lunch on your own: BAGELS & BEANS

It's a chain that doesn't want to be a chain and they manage pretty well. At Bagels & Beans you can stop for breakfast, lunch or an afternoon tapas. They serve great coffee, chai latte and fresh juices. You can choose from different kinds of bagels, among which is a glutenfree one and an oathie bagel without wheat. My current favourite is the glutenfree Tuscany bagel with walnut-honey creamcheese. Enjoy their free WIFI.
