With 24 hr licence to function as club, nights easily turn into days here. De school houses a coffee and a restaurant place, you can literally enter Friday and leave Sunday. :0
Quite in weekdays with great coffee, atmosphere and natural light
This place is a sympathetic alternative terrace outside the crowded city centre. It is located in Amsterdam North, 5 minute bike ride from the Ferry. They serve good food for a reasonable price. Sometimes there are bands or DJ' playing. Check the website : )
I love how small this place is, but it offers such amazing quality in cheeses, meats, wines, bread etc. You can also have lunch here. Definitely worth picking up fresh food here!
To get out of the hustle of the city, my husband and I love to bike down to Amsterdam's Forest to see the goat farm, or picnic in the sun. There are also little spots to swim :)
