Coffee and food in a Scandinavian setting. Just like home.

Simple but refined dishes. Reserve space for the madeleines! 

The portal between the Leidseplein nightlife area and the Max Eeuweplein is pompously accentuated by a classical looking façade, designed in 1991 by Zaanen Spanjers Architects. On the frieze, supported by columns, the architect has carved an inscription: ‘Homo sapiens non urinat in ventum’ - ‘A wise man does not piss into the wind’. A ‘wisecrack’, disguised in Latin.

This is my favourite Mexican restaurant in Amsterdam. really nice and cosy. Great food & amazing drinks. 

FC Hyena is a small cinema located in Amsterdam North, with a view over the Ij. The program is pretty good, as well as the bites and natural wine.
