Amsterdam has many sides: loud, lively, touristy. But above all, the city can surprise you. From Michelin-starred restaurants to hidden gems and true classics, we’ve compiled our personal highlights, ranging from fine dining to the humble fries stand.

One Michelin star, a view of Dam Square, and a concept that deliberately thinks outside the box: at Restaurant Bougainville, fine dining becomes a journey of discovery. Genusspunkt was there.

It doesn’t get much more central than this: Hotel The Diamond on Leidseplein combines stylish design with thoughtful details and innovative service. Genusspunkt visited the hotel and experienced a city hotel that reimagines comfort and the guest experience.

A historic estate, a botanical garden, and a kitchen stripped down to the essentials: Flora Batava on the Vecht combines stylish hospitality with culinary precision. Genusspunkt was there.

Every rhetoric coach and presentation specialist insists: “You can cut out ‘actually.’ Just say what you want to say!” That’s true, of course. Because someone who says, “Actually, I think that’s a good thing,” might be thinking, “I like it, but I can’t afford it.”

When the international energy, gas station, and car wash industry gathers in Stuttgart in May 2026, the sector will be on the cusp of one of its most exciting transformations. UNITI expo 2026 has long been regarded as Europe’s leading trade fair for gas stations, car washes, retail & convenience, and future mobility solutions—and it continues to grow.

From May 19–21, 2026, the Landesmesse Stuttgart will once again transform into the premier meeting place for operators, oil companies, retail operators, technology providers, and mobility innovators from around the world.

With over 500 expected exhibitors, approximately 45,000 square meters of exhibition space, and visitors from more than 110 countries, the trade fair builds on the record-breaking year of 2024—while simultaneously providing new impetus for an industry in transition.
