No ordinary tourist: Dua Lipa’s secret connection to Amsterdam
When a global superstar releases a city guide, you’d expect the usual tourist hotspots. But with Dua Lipa, it’s different. Her love for Amsterdam didn’t come from a quick concert tour; she has a very personal connection to the capital. Part of her mother’s family lives there, so she’s been visiting regularly since she was a child.
This isn’t the first time she’s shared her favorite Amsterdam spots. Previously, on her own platform Service95, she ’d already recommended classics like Restaurant de Kas and the famous apple pie from Winkel 43. For her brand-new collaboration with Google Maps, however, she’s narrowed down the selection and added one specific, new hotspot that’s perfect for an intimate night out.
Romantic dining at De Willem: the pop star’s favorite Amsterdam date spot
Anyone who steps inside De Willem immediately understands why the pop star chose this restaurant. Located in Amsterdam’s iconic Haarlemmerpoort, this spot combines monumental grandeur with a warm, contemporary interior. This historic building provides the perfect setting for an intimate evening, but the real highlight is what you’ll discover at the table.
From refined small plates to adventurous wines
The menu at De Willem in Amsterdam is an absolute dream, full of refined, small dishes with a creative twist. Here, you can choose from a rotating four-, five-, or six-course chef’s menu, or share the à la carte options during a romantic date night. Think light, elegant standout dishes like the fresh Hamachi or an ultra-decadent Steak ‘Rossini’ with fresh truffle.
In addition to these culinary delights, the impressive wine list is a destination in itself. This culinary hotspot offers the perfect balance between tradition and trends. From classic French wineries to funky natural wines and the wildly popular orange wines.
