I’m heading to Amsterdam from Edmonton Canada for a 3 week tour. Right now I plan to ride my bike for about 750km, and ride trains and river boats for the rest. I’ll stay in hotels or BnBs for 5 nights, and the rest will be in a tent at campgrounds.
I’m leaning towards not bringing my little camping stove. I figure I’ll grab food from markets (sandwiches, fruits, etc) and eat at restaurants. But I really enjoy coffee, so maybe I should take it, if even just for that.
So I am interested to hear what others do for food. Do you like to cook for yourself? Do you stop at restaurants? I look forward to hearing your feedback, thanks in advance. 🙂

I eat everything in sight on a bike tour.
For a route like this, you’ll probably never be more than 20km from somewhere to eat so you certainly don’t need to bring a stove if you don’t want to.
Sometimes I bring a micro stove just for morning coffee, other times I don’t bother at all.
Always bring a stove with some cooking pots. Restaurants aren’t cheap in Europe but supermarkets carry a lot of convenient food you just need to warmup.
Also in September it can be cold in some of those locations and being able to eat and drink warm is important for your wellbeing.
Last it is never smart to rely on one option.
When in Amsterdam you could also shop at Bever or Decathlon for some additional gear. Some stuf could be cheaper over here as in Canada.
