My favourite chocolate shop in Amsterdam, run by a passionate American couple. Try the addictively intense Francoise Pralus 100% cacao bar.
Inspired use of a disused railway bridge. Go for a drink on the elevated walkway leading to the entrance or the seasonal French/Dutch food in the glass-clad restaurant.
One of my best meals in Amsterdam. Superb food and wines and service from the chef - a nice touch.
So many 'lekker' things at this quirky cafe-cum-bric-a-brac shop. Try the sandwiches made with home-baked bread, enormous slices of applie pie or legendary chocolate cake.
Authentic Indonesian food in Amsterdam with no pretensions and lots of chilli. Try the fiery 'Aunt Bea's eggs' and chicken satay.
Try the Dutch pancakes, if you haven't had them before, or opt for one of the 'global pancakes', such as French crepes, American breakfast pancakes or Russian blinis.
About 50 wines by the glass and good 'gourmet bites'. Try the homemade artichoke and olive tapenade, or the warm duck rillette.
Lovely Art Deco interior and good location next to the River Amstel, but the wines and service are terrible.
What to choose? Try the Calabrese pizza with spicy salami, or the Tartufo with truffle. In the beautiful Jordaan, not far from my fave wine bar Divino
You will not find more caring people than these anywhere. That's the truth!
