Mossel en Gin, a laidback seafood restaurant just outside the center of Amsterdam, is one of those places you're lucky to find as a tourist. Even luckier when you didn't plan a single thing to do or eat during your two-day trip.
Set in the sprawling, serene Westerpark (which is consistently less crowded than its more well-known neighbor, Vondelpark), this five-year-old spot is known for two things: big pots of buttery steamed mussels served with thick-cut french fries and a vast selection of gin and tonics.
