The city’s hotspots are often found in eccentric locations and stand out for their quirkiness, both in design and in the menu. There are cosy cafés to grab a drink in after work, romantic canal-side eateries, Michelin-starred establishments and dance temples for night owls and party animals. After capturing the culinary pearls of Paris and London, photographer Henk van Cauwenbergh brings a third city that is close to his heart to the lens in Amazing Flavours of Amsterdam. Besides the usual suspects, there are undoubtedly new locations and hidden treasures to discover.
