W Amsterdam hotel review: an entrée to the Dutch capital’s growing culinary scene

wa-main-who4090ex-208679-exterior-med.jpg

As everyone knows, there are two distinct versions of Amsterdam that visitors can experience. Either you can drop in on the weed smoking, hard drinking, all-night dancing, red-light-district-ogling party town or you can hop aboard the bicycle riding, art gallery-frequenting, canal-hopping cultural capital.

In fact, though, there is a third side to the Dutch capital: its growing culinary scene. Hip new restaurants and experimental cafés (no, not that kind of café) are opening every week. For a perfect gastronomic getaway, you could do worse than to check in to the luxurious W Amsterdam hotel, as The Week Portfolio did recently.
