A lively hotspot in the heart of Amsterdam in emerald green tones.

A tiny record shop that has all the character you'd want.  They also sell produce out front which gives it even more character. 

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 : )

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

Hannekes Boom is one of the nicest waterfront café in Amsterdam to have a beer when it's sunny. Close to Central Station, the place isn't crowded by tourists, but you need to be there early to get a seat.
