Europe Gets Its First All-Avocado Restaurant
If you thought the good old avo was only reserved for the cool hipsters of the Eastern Suburbs, well you might want to think again.
You see a restaurant owner in Amsterdam loves the green creamy fruit so much, that he decided to open a restaurant dedicated to the avo.
The restaurant, named none other than The Avocado Show, opened in February in Amesterdam’s De Rijp district. It serves breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner, late at night, anything in between: the menu includes burgers made with avocado buns, avo on toast (keeping the classics), and basically anything you can make with avocado, you can probably find it here. It’s an avo fiesta really.
Owner Ron Simpson said that he was inspired by the internet and his own diet to open his all avo restaurant.
"I looked at the internet and how people react to certain products like Nutella, Oreo, and peanut butter and figured I want to find a main mono ingredient that's adaptable to almost anything," he told MUNCHIES.
"People, including myself, throw avo on just about any dish and are making extremely creative dishes with it. So, we decided to open a valhalla for anyone who loves avocado," he added.
You will notice that the avocado isn’t literally the only thing on the dish (I mean who wants to just eat an avocado), but every meal will include avocado in some way or another. Can we all take a minute though to imagine the amazing Instagram pics that will come out of this. Yes, please.
So, next time you’re in Amsterdam, you might want to check out this awesome place. But in the meantime, here are 5 places you can visit in Sydney that will give a good (and unusual) avo hit.

Ok, so avocado can help lower cholesterol... at is exactly why you can be forgiven for indulging in the Hulk megashake. It is a thick and creamy avocado-spiked drink, crowned with a red velvet cupcake, finished off with a squirt of whipped cream. Now that is what you call a kinda healthy dessert.

If you are looking for a more modern twist on the avo toast, then you can’t go past this avocado toast with preserved lemon & Japanese dukkah. With the freshness of the avocado, a tangy zing from the lemon, and the Japanese dukkah to take it to a whole new level, who would want to go back to the simple avo toast?

In case you were looking for an avocado in 3 ways, then you can’t go past this lightly sweetened avocado panna cotta with coriander laced avocado gelato and chilli avocado marshmallow. I mean, avocado has more potassium than banana so it wouldn’t hurt to have the extra avo hit.
