Went there with a small group of fellow yelpers. The place was newly opened in a new location. Wijn and Ko doesn't have an ambience of a restaurant or a wine cellar, but more like a big open bar place..I wasnt very impressed with the interior. What about the wine - they have a very big selection of different wines per glass or only per bottle. The prices are pretty steep and they start with 3.75 Euro and quickly go up. I had some wine for 3.75 or 4.75 and they were ok, however I had better and for a lower price. I tried a really nice one for 5.75. It was a good wine, but the price quality wasn't that great. If talking about the food. We had a big meat platter to share and vegetarian platter. They were ok, nothing too fancy and also quite pricey I must say. Later we found out that they also had a special 3 course menu offer for 25 - which sounded like a good deal. We went for dessert only option - creme brullee and cheese platter - they were pretty nice. Service..ah..this is a part that is the cherry on the top and it either makes this a good place or not. The waiter who was taking care of our wine orders wasnt very service oriented. He would bring the wine to men first and then serve the ladies. What even shocked me a lot more..was that they should know what temperature the wine should be served at...When commenting that my red wine was way too cold - negroamaro is not served chilled...he said that it will warm up..right..maybe after 2 hours of warming it with my hands..Luckily owner of the place had a different service approach and exchanged it right away. Did I like this place? It was ok, but because I was in a great company. Would I go back there? I am not sure.

Three hours and 20 minutes later we made the 11 foot hike back to our unique three story lodging (it's the purple fronted place to the left of Wijn and Ko, next door, literally) in a food nirvana state of mind. This is a 6 star place with all the pieces in place.

At first, you might think it's a little sketchy because it is downstairs but it's only to give you the maximum privacy in a church not to mention!! Remember that these visits are personalised, I'm honestly so happy I found this place and I had a perfect time.

We are from Virginia which is growing in wine popularity so we've been to our fair share of wineries and wine stores. This place is not like anywhere we've been before. It's underneath Melly's Cookie Bar (http://www.yelp.com/biz/mellys-cookie-bar-amsterdam), meaning you go INTO the Cookie Bar to get to it. But once downstairs you are in a whole different world of coziness and wine with a man (José) who knows his stuff! He is super friendly, but professional and helpful and just wants to find you a wine you will love! I dare you to go here and not love it!

In addition to a highly respectable selection of champagne and champagne cocktails, you can also find beer, wine, and non-alcoholic beverages, including espresso drinks.

Esquire Magazine in its recent article on top 10 airport bars included Bubbles Seafood and Wine Bar…read moreon its Top 10 Airport Bar list, so during a layover, I thought it would be worth a try, even at 9am. I was definitely impressed with the bubbly, food, and decor, and the gigantic aquarium (with Corenwyn bottles?) is a nice draw for kids and adults. But the towering wall of bottles behind the counter is equally impressive. Once there, you order at the counter from a menu that includes various shellfish and smoked fish. A good way to start is their champagne and oyster special, where for 17 euros you get a glass of Tattinger plus 3 plump oysters. They also had a wide variety of sandwiches - shrimp, herring, mackeral, eel, etc. I tried the herring and it arrived in a small roll, plus onions and pickles. Delicious! I would definitely recommend Bubbles as a nice upscale option for any layover at Schiphol.

When I opened the massive leather bound wine list, I was amazed. You can get lovely glasses of sauvignon blanc or pilot noir for €4. The rest of the wines are between 5-7 by the glass, with sparkling white wine for €4 as well. Bargain! They have loads of bottles at both everyday and special occasion prices. Someone has put a lot of money into the decor here, it feels very decadent and luxurious. You can also get charcuterie plates. The staff are very warm and friendly, even to scruffy types like myself. A real find among the overpriced Den Haag bars.

Since it's my favorite place, I looked it up on maps and saved it. When I was there a month or so later, I was riding my bike in the afternoon and saw someone sitting near the front window working on his MacBook with a nice glass or white wine. I immediately slammed the brakes and parked my bike! Fortunately I had my MacBook so I could get some work done and drink some great wine at 4 PM (16:00 hours). Bottom line is you simply purchase a 20-30 euro card (or whatever you want) when you get there and can just choose from any wine in the restaurant. It's awesome. The notable thing is, the bartenders are wonderful and very helpful. They don't just let you fend for yourself, they assist you, give you advice, even free samples! Awesome place. Also, great food too! Try the oysters! They have bitterballen (of course) all day - then dinner and food all night. My favorite dinner place in Overtoom. Don't be afraid as I was the first time - when it was really crowded. Friendly and warm place - gezellig!

But, why does it all have to be so cheesy and overpriced? People who spend time at Viqh seem more than happy to cuddle up with 50 strangers in a closet to drink a €13 glass of 'eh' wine and sit on cheap fabrics... but I, I would rather buy the €7 train ticket to Amsterdam and go to a much more elegant and quiet space to enjoy a much better glass of wine. I'm not saying that there's no reason to go to Viqh, because when you're in Haarlem and you don't want to grab a Heini in a brown bar (tee hee), this is one of the few places in Haarlem to go. But it's struggling to live up to its hype in my eyes.

They are usually pretty crowded but I think it makes for a "gezellig" atmosphere. Their wine list is organized by country and mostly everything I've had there is good. I would recommend doing the wine tasting. There are different price levels that you can pick starting at only €5,50. You get 3 small glasses of wine (white or red, your choice) and then when they bring the wine over they explain all about the three different ones that you picked.

Explore everything here! We came to Dutch Delicacy on pure accident, as we were walking around and saw that they had a ton of different goudas for sale. In the front part of the store is a take-out counter where they sell hot items, like sandwiches and baked pastries and desserts, like cheesecakes and cookies the size of your face! It all looked appealing and would've totally purchased a food item, had we not had lunch beforehand. Throughout the store were the cheese samples of the many different various kinds. It goes beyond what you thought gouda could be. There are sheep's and goat's cheeses for many of the different types. There are pesto cheeses that come in different colors like a bright blue and pink. There are cheeses that pair well with the dips that had me thinking about my next dinner party. There's Dutch chocolate here for sale. There's different knives for cutting cheese. There's truly everything here you could imagine for your gouda-filled meal. Staff was super friendly and asked if we needed any help or wanted to know more about any of the different cheeses. For sale, a lot of the goudas are pre-packaged for a pound and meets airline security measures for taking it home with you. I'm glad we stumbled upon Dutch Delicacy. We were able to try so many different cheeses, which I found a few for home. I recommend for anyone visiting Amsterdam to make a stop here; there's a lot of items you'll want to take home with you.
