If you happen to live in an Amsterdam apartment with no outdoor space, barbecuing can be a challenge. I should know – I fell into that category for eight years. Lighting up a portable grill in one of Amsterdam’s parks may seem like a good idea, but barbecuing in one of Europe’s most densely populated cities is not always that simple. In recent years, the gemeente has banned BBQs in certain Amsterdam parks, and in others has put regulations in place that only allow barbecuing your food in special locations. I’m not thrilled about this, but safety first ‘n all that. The law is the law, and it’s worth being aware of it. So, for part 3 of this Amsterdam BBQ Guide, let’s get straight to the nitty gritty…
