Rick's new restaurant recommendations for Amsterdam

I was just watching the recording of last night's Monday Night Travel on Amsterdam. Rick mentioned that he has a new list of recommended restaurants in the chat section, but I think you can only see that if you're watching the video live. Anybody know where I can find that list?

Thanks.

I looked at the restaurants in the document and frankly I see nothing new. These are all restaurants that have existed for quite some time. Nothing wrong with any of them, but there are plenty of new exciting restaurants in town.
I also don’t agree with the comments that high end restaurants in general don’t offer lunch and that the area around Leidseplein should be avoided. Many high end and/or Michelin starred restaurants offer lunch. It’s a very affordable way of trying out these restaurants. In fact, some people even say that lunch is the new dinner :-)
Those who want to get a taste of Dutch cuisine should check out The Pantry https://www.thepantry.nl/en/ right in the middle of the hustle and bustle of the Leidseplein area, but authentic Dutch food and very friendly service!

@ Nancy - I clicked on the link when it was posted in the chat during the show. It was also included in the MNT follow up email for that episode. I didn't see it posted on the MNT page though.

@ Nigel - np! Happy to help and hope people get to experience Rijsttafel, what a treat! One of the most memorable meals I had in Europe was Rijsttafel in Haarlem.

Dutch_traveler, thanks for suggesting that restaurant. It's exactly the kind of place I'm looking for when I go. I also have Moeders on my list.

Thanks Dutch Traveller - the website comments for that restaurant look good. Any favourite Indonesian restaurants in the Central area?

That’s the one Nigel! The restaurant where I had the scrumptious Rijsttafel. It was the first dinner of the Rick Steves 21 day BOE tour.
