This is maybe the best seafood restaurant in Amsterdam. Located in Noord, across the water, reached by metro or ferry, this old warehouse turned restaurant has fresh fish every day. Great for a gin Tonic as well. You wont run into too many tourists here, and the vibe is very chill. Food is amazing.

As the name says, this is a MEAT restaurant! They have probably the best ribs in the city. Books up pretty fast (they have several locations) its best to make a reservation. This is also one of the few restaurants that stays open late and offers late night dining until 03.00.

An area that up until a few years ago was not the nicest area to walk around, has really improved over the past few years. Many new bars, cafes, restaurants and little shops, especially in the Javastraat make this a vibrant and cool area. Restaurants like Bar Basquiat, Benji's or vijfnulvijf are great for a snack, lunch or dinner. Also in this area, the Tropenmuseum, a great museum next to the lovely Oosterpark.
