Ok, this weekend I found out that there is an apple pie battle going on in the Jordaan! Some people fancy Winkel‘s apple pie (Noordermarkt 43), while others prefer the pie of Papeneiland (corner Prinsengracht/Brouwersgracht). Which apple pie do you fancy?
I prefer WINKEL’s apple pie actually. It is similar to the pies my mom makes with chunks of apple, raisins, soft dough and a delicious crust. They sell about 200 pies on a Monday morning (because of the Noordermarkt), so some people agree with me. Then add the whipped cream of PAPENEILAND and you have the best combination ever!
The difference between both is that the apple pie of PAPENEILAND consists of more apples than pie and I love me some pie! Though I must admit that Papeneiland has the best location to sit and watch city life passing by. Definitely recommending this spot! Just with a nice glass of wine.
So what team are you on: WINKEL or PAPENEILAND? Or do you first need to taste. both pies. on the same day?
So every now and then, we publish our best spots concerning a specific food like taco's, the best places to sit like terraces or any other 10 best. Now it's Ingmar's turn to write about cocktail bars! ...
Here is a very handy list of all the best food hotspots on the nicest streets of West: the Bilderdijkstraat!...
Have you also noticed that tacos are back in the game? Not that strange because it's great street food.. Read on if you want to know where to get the best in Amsterdam. Because who doesn't love tacos? ...

I Suggest you try café Thijssen first before you make a decision! ;)
Just one corner away from Papeneiland.
Oh really? I never go there, not even since I live on the Lindengracht! You are a fan of Thijssen’s pie?
