Food Scene

This is definitely our favorite place! Not only because it is close to home, but because you're sitting here. You can sit at tables, but also sit on couches by a crackling fire. The menu has original, delicious dishes. The vegetarian here is also well catered for with a wide choice of vega dishes.

A very nice restaurant where you can eat really well. The nice thing is that you can order different, small dishes that you can share with your friends. There are also sometimes concerts or night out in the concert hall that belongs to this (Paradiso Noord).

This tent is located near Pllek at the NDSM shipyard. The food is not very special, but you can sit here and have a drink, both during the day and in the evening. The view is also very beautiful!

Drinking coffee in the park next to a playground. This was one of my favorite spots when I lived in West. Especially fun with children on a sunny day, because you can then walk around the park.

This is one of the best Mexican restaurants in Amsterdam. It is located in an industrial area, so maybe you will be looking around for a bit. After a positive review in the Parool (the Amsterdam newspaper), it is a storm here and it is a real hype. It is always busy, so reserve on time! Schaafstraat 4, Amsterdam.

You get the best bread here, so if possible I try to get my bread here. Healthy, firm, brown, traditional Dutch bread. What can I enjoy! I always miss Dutch bread when I am traveling and there is nothing else to get than the unhealthy, flabby and white factory bread. Upstairs you can sit here with a cup of coffee while waiting on the ferry.

You just have to know this place, because it is not remarkable. You can have a delicious lunch here! You are also super strong here, because it is not big. By means of a staircase you come upstairs, and there are some cozy seating areas created. It is a delicatessen with mainly Italian products. When I lived as a student in a student residence at the museum square, I regularly came here to have lunch. You have sandwiches with all kinds of cheese and meat here. You can also pick up tasty pasta dishes at the caterer. Highly recommended this!

Drinks & Nightlife

Together with Paradiso one of my favo places to go out. The audience is sometimes a bit younger. There are 2 rooms, often with different music genres in both rooms. Sometimes you can go to both rooms, that's extra fun

Nice little cafe in the north, located on an industrial estate in a kind of warehouse. You can get pretty cheap here, but good food. Not a lot of choice on the card, but it's really tasty. At a certain moment the tables go to the side and a DJ turns. Entrance is usually free. Nice extra: there is a skate track in this cafe where skateboarders are late to skating!

A cozy place where it is often busy. It is a kind of large market, with all kinds of different food and drink tents. You order your food, and find a place to eat it. Sometimes it is very busy, so you will have to eat standing up. You can also go to the movie here. It is a popular place, but personally I find it a little too busy here.

Personally, I think this is the most beautiful park. It is quieter than the Vondelpark, and you will find nice restaurants and bars here. There is also a paddling pool for children, who can enjoy themselves here on warm days. You can also walk here.

One of the oldest parks in Amsterdam, where both the locals and the tourists come together. On warm days people sit on the grass to picnic, and it is pleasantly crowded here. In the summer there are performances in the open-air theater.
