Albert Cuypstraat 182 HS, Amsterdam, Noord-Holland
Mediterranean Restaurant · Oude Pijp · 175 tips and reviews
Zoe Singleton: Breakfast, best value in town and will fill you up all day. Thousand hole pancake, fruit, yoghurt, egg, cheese, bread, coffee, fresh orange juice all €9! Evening meals not so great... A bit bland!
Lijnbaanssteeg 5-7 ("Btwn De Singel & De Spuistraat), Amsterdam, Noord-Holland
Cocktail Bar · Kuip · 184 tips and reviews
Jean-Paul Schaddé van Dooren: Cocktails are great, dinner is awesome, but if you're just having a drink make sure (!) you order the Crunchy Chicken. Perfect fingerfood with your drinks.
Speakeasy · Grachtengordel-Zuid · 137 tips and reviews
Jean-Paul Schaddé van Dooren: Perfect cocktailbar in the Amsterdam city center. Make sure you have a reservation, or try your luck at the door. The menu is awesome -just like the hospitality-.
Thai Restaurant · Amsterdam Centrum · 304 tips and reviews
Jean-Paul Schaddé van Dooren: Awesome food. Every day an other take away menu for 9 euro's, or just grab a seat. Hard to pick a dish, it's a huge menu!
Coffee Shop · Amsterdam Centrum · 71 tips and reviews
Jean-Paul Schaddé van Dooren: Awesome coffee over here, I prefer the filter ones and the rest is awesome too. Always order a croissant. It comes with marmelade, but it doesn't need it since they're like the croissants from France.
Van Limburg Stirumplein 4 (at corner Van de Hoopstraat), Amsterdam, Noord-Holland
Gastropub · Staatsliedenbuurt · 37 tips and reviews
Jean-Paul Schaddé van Dooren: I love to go here by myself and have the Omelet Confit de Canard. Great atmosphere, lovely place near the Westerpark and dinner is also -very- good.
Steakhouse · Grachtengordel-Zuid · 329 tips and reviews
Jean-Paul Schaddé van Dooren: Best Ribs in town. Ask for a place at the bar, have a beer, order the ribs and have fun with the -very funny- bartenders.
Art Museum · Museumkwartier · 245 tips and reviews
Jean-Paul Schaddé van Dooren: Modern art. Usually with great temporary expositions and the regular art collection is awesome too. Go to the halls where you find the Roy Lichtenstein item and Who's Afraid of Red, Yellow and Blue.
Art Museum · Museumkwartier · 848 tips and reviews
Jean-Paul Schaddé van Dooren: Enter the gardens for free (toilets for free inside too), but take your time to watch the great pieces of art inside. If you tend to visit more than 3 museums in a year: ask for a 'museumkaart'.
Speakeasy · Grachtengordel-Zuid · 137 tips and reviews
Jean-Paul Schaddé van Dooren: Make a reservation, since it's the best dutch cocktailbar (Esquire) and #26 of the world. Awesome place to have drinks, just pick from the perfect menu what you like most.
Brewery · Amsterdam Centrum · 256 tips and reviews
Jean-Paul Schaddé van Dooren: The serve a perfect french chicken over here, you do need to order that one. You can try all three different beers, but the regular (Puur) is the best one with your chicken.
De Ruyterkade Steigers 10A (Centraal Station), Amsterdam, Noord-Holland
Boat or Ferry · Kuip · 22 tips and reviews
Jean-Paul Schaddé van Dooren: Take the free (15 minute) boat trip to NDSM and enjoy! When you arrive, go to IJ kantine, Pllek or Loetje for a drink or some food and then get your ass back to the city centre again ;).
