Rosèl
April 16, 2025
City Center | Two Hotelschool Friends | Culinary Combo’s
Last Friday, we grabbed a Rosèl and a John at Rosèl, and let’s just say… we’re still thinking about them. Dreaming about the golden, fresh focaccia piled high with bold, balanced flavors. Comfort food with a refined twist, fine dining on a sandwich.
The duo behind Rosèl both have a background in Hospitality. One runs the show out front, the other has a solid culinary background, including time spent in the kitchen at Caron. A dream team, two friends doing what they love.
We’re certain it’s a great asset to the neighborhood! Oh, and we tried matcha for the first time, with coconut milk and ice!! Their coffee is from @luuks.coffee and they also sell amazing home made cookies! Do we need to say more?
Dough Studio
March 11, 2025
Oost | Freshly baked focaccia | High-quality ingredients | Fried Chicken
A little corner of Italy, right in Amsterdam. Dough Studio is all about one thing: next-level sandwiches made with freshly baked Italian bread. If you’re serious about carbs (and let’s be real, who isn’t?), this is a place you need to know.
The secret? Their incredible sourdough focaccia—crunchy on the outside, airy on the inside, and packed with flavor. Every sandwich is built with high-quality Italian ingredients, from creamy burrata to rich mortadella, truffle spreads, and sun-ripened tomatoes. Each bite is a little love letter to Italy.
And let’s talk about the best sandwich we’ve had in ages: the Fried Chicken + (€13). Imagine a crispy fried chicken cutlet, topped with spicy ’nduja mayonnaise, bitter radicchio, creamy artichoke crème, and fresh rucola—all packed into that signature focaccia. Absolute perfection.
But it’s not just about sandwiches. Dough Studio is also the perfect spot to grab a coffee, pick up some fresh bread, or just soak up the good vibes. Whether you're taking a quick bite or lingering a little longer, one thing’s for sure—you’ll be back.
