Roy Collins is on a distinguished road
I'm not sure if the macroguides are up to date on the restaurant listings in Amsterdam. When I was there a few months ago I found an excellent health food shop right next to Rembrandthuis on Jodenbreestraat. I don't know the name but inside they are friendly and helpful. They gave me a small booklet with all vegetarian and macro restaurants nearby. They have good bread, oat cookies and hiziki rolls. There is a Chinese herb shop on the street directly behind the health food store
that I recomend for help with physical ailments and to purchase
moxa and acupuncture needles. You can get your pulse read and prescription for about $10 American dollars...

Anyway the Kushi guide from 1997 lists Kushi Instituut of Northern Europe and Deshima Macrobiotic Restaurant and Freshop, Weteringschans 65, 1017 RX AMsterdam; 31 20 6 257513. also Shizen Japanese Macrobiotic restaurant, Kerkstraat 148/hs, Amsterdam: 31 20 62286 27.

There used to be a popular vegetarian restaurant called Bolhoed on Prinsengracht 60 that sold excellent organic food. There is still a listing for it in Lonely Planet's Guide to Europe; phone 626 18 03

I would call to see if they are still around. This is the best I can do. Let us know if you find any of these open and if so please give a report....

In peace, Roy
