Beautiful afternoon with Simon and Rain
"From the moment we walked in Simon and Rain made us feel right at home. the atmosphere was full of warmth and charm. The host had thoughtfully prepared the space, creating a cozy, intimate environment that felt both festive and personal\n\nThe lunch was outstanding. Every dish was homemade and filled with care—delicious, fresh, and beautifully presented. \n\nBeyond the food, it was the genuine hospitality that made the experience so special. We shared laughs, stories, and a real connection with our host, which turned a simple lunch into a meaningful memory.\n \nThank you both for a wonderful day! \n\n"
"Anyone looking to join these guys for a meal are in for a treat! Simon is an amazing cook, and the conversation over lunch was simply the best. If you haven’t tried this experience because you’re afraid of awkwardness, don’t be! They make you feel at home very quickly."
"The pancake dinner with Mark was an amazing experience. He made a variety of Dutch pancakes, and they were delicious. Mark had invited some of his friends over, and it was like spending an evening with old friends. Everyone was friendly and shared information about their lives in Amsterdam. I highly recommend this to anyone. It is a great experience and I will keep an eye out for it when we visit Amsterdam in the future."
"We didn't know what to expect, this was our first time. Mark was great, very friendly and easy to find. The dinner was beyond amazing, he prepared for hours to make it a special evening. We absolutely recommend this experience for any small group. "
"We had a great time with Mark and his friends. The pancakes were amazing and the company was just as good. We talked a lot about the city and its people and at the end of the evening we had a full list of what places we wanted to visit in Amsterdam. Mark's home is beautiful and cozy and we felt very welcomed. Thank you for the great experience! "
