American-Style Restaurant in the Netherlands

A Touch of America in the Netherlands


Recently, we visited an American-style restaurant called Charley's Diner.

The retro style, delicious food, and nostalgic environment made our dinner an unforgettable experience.


What is an American Diner?

An American Diner is a type of restaurant that originated in the United States and has become an iconic part of American culture. These restaurants often evoke the style and atmosphere of the 1940s and 1950s, reminiscent of the times when diners were popular. This restaurant style offers a nostalgic experience for those wanting to get a taste of American cuisine and culture from past decades.


Where is it located?

Charley's Diner is located not far from Amsterdam. It takes about 20-40 minutes by car from downtown Amsterdam. If you choose public transportation, you’ll need to take a train and bus, which can take around 40-60 minutes.

Their address: Dammerweg 106, 1394 GT Nederhorst Den Berg


Ambience

Although I haven't been to a real American Diner in person—only seen them in movies—this restaurant truly evoked the spirit of America. The entrance, the bar counter made from a car, the colors of the furniture, and the wall decorations all created a diner atmosphere. I imagine something like this exists in reality. Despite the harsh weather, with rain making the streets quiet, the American Diner remained warm and welcoming. Besides the food, the atmosphere was cozy, almost like walking through an American film.


Food

The American Diner offers a wide selection of classic American dishes. The menu features burgers, hot dogs, and fries—icons of traditional American cuisine. With every bite, I could imagine what a real diner experience would be like. Although there were few people in the restaurant at the moment, I can picture busy summer days when the outdoor area is filled with visitors enjoying good food and great company.


The American Diner is not just a restaurant but a journey through space and time, where flavors and atmosphere combine to enchant visitors. I recommend it to anyone who loves American cuisine and nostalgia!

Christmas in Grindelwald: Snow, Mountains, and Holiday Magic

 This year, we wanted a truly special Christmas experience, so we chose a snowy mountain location as our destination. We decided on Grindelwald, a tiny, enchanting town in Switzerland. Even at Christmas, it was full of life: the fairy-tale surroundings attracted many tourists and skiers. We brought along our beloved four-legged companions and were delighted to find that most restaurants were dog-friendly. Many places allowed outdoor seating even in winter, so our dogs could enjoy the festive atmosphere with us. Our accommodation was a charming, peaceful small hotel on the hillside, just a ten-minute walk from the town. During evening walks, the starry sky and snow-covered landscape never failed to impress us. We traveled from the Netherlands by car, making a detour to Strasbourg en route, where we visited one of Europe's most unique Christmas markets. This detour added even more holiday spirit to our trip. In Switzerland, it’s important to always have snow chains in the car during ...

How did we get a corgi?

The dog who we know from the social media with short legs, breadbutt, who sleeps in strange poses.   How did we get a corgi?  The Corgi has little body, he is friendly and can be taught easily. They were used to guarding and herding cattle and sheep. We saw them first in Cowboy Bebop, a japanese anime about 5 years ago. It was love at first sight. We decided, we would like a corgi too. We moved abroad to a house with a garden, we think it will be good for a dog.   We searched for the first breeder in march of 2020. We wrote e-mails to or called every breeder that looked good in the country close by. These were about 20 Corgi Kennels. We got answers from 3-4 kennels.
