Op 9 oktober 1811 liep keizer Napoleon door de port & nu is het jouw buurt! Van de poorten die in de 17de & 18de eeuw toegang tot de stad A'dam gaven is de Muiderpoort het enig overgebleven exemplaar!
Honestly, the museum that I liked the most in Amsterdam. One of the best in the world in terms of atmosphere and historical curiosities. Thoroughly recommended.
if you've come this far then you also have to drink a beer in the shade of the mill
"An arty bohemian global village where you can taste a multitude of multicultural treats."
A blocks-long street market, open Monday - Saturday, filled with Dutch food stalls selling cheese, herring, and more. Hit the "Popa Oliva" stand for Mediterranean salads galore.

Was a pretty interesting offer for 34,50 each person , we tried lots of nice stuff and even desserts, which were just amazing, very good service and lovely ambience, an open kitchen is also a plus☺️
Delicious food and superb service! We kept getting surprise appetizers and a lovely dessert at the end. I will definitely go back!

Don't judge this place by its outside. Nice atmosphere, super-friendly staff in traditional clothing and great food. Order a rice table and taste 10 different Indonesian dishes (side dish portions).
The food is delicious, the portions generous and the service is very quick, out orders arrived in a surprising 10 minutes or less! This place is definitely a "must" when in Amsterdam.
Good meat and lobster for really good price! They sell craft beer, but they need to sell more!
Order the Cannibale Royal burger & fall-off-the-bone ribs and you will be a happy camper. Went w a tough crowd & everyone wanted to go back. One of the best meals we've had in Ams! Make reservations.
Lovely green cafe with stylish decor! try to sit outside when it's good weather! Go for egg Benedict with salmon and hollandaise sauce or try pizza with truffle 🙆
Delicious Banh Mi. Take the one with caramelised pork for 8€. I think the Goi Cuon are a bit overpriced though.
Excellent Vietnamese food! Super fresh, enough vegetarian choices! The spring rolls are so good! Best Vietnamese in Amsterdam so far! Most of the time there is a waiting list, so keep that in mind.
One of a couple of awesome pizza places in Amsterdam. Great to take-out or eat in. Get any, they are all fantastic.
Amazing selection of Jamon Iberico. On a ciabatta or baguette for take away lunch or sliced by the (1, 5) kilo if you are having a party or dinner.
Friendly staff, great tiled interior, excellent tapas! Highly recommended. Just get there before the close the kitchen at around 10pm (very un-spanishlike)
Very large and tasty Combination. If you want to try a variety of sea food - it's the best choice. It's for two persons and costs 80 euros. It is so large that we could not eat that all. 5 stars!
Fruits de mer platter was super tasty + service was friendly. I really loved the atmosphere of this local gem.
Nice atmosphere and beautiful interior! They offer full "city breakfasts" for €10-€15, but their pancakes and eggs are recommended as well. Good food, but quite expensive.
Eggs benedict aka royale w/ a side of bacon, Norweigan smoked salmon on a deliciously warm croissant. The salmon quality was mind blowing 🐟👌🏼
Great place to work, drink coffee, have breakfast/lunch/dinner as well as drinking a beer (Dodo is recommended!) with friends. Wifi pass = coconuts
Yummy food, classy cocktails and a relaxt environment: what's not to love in Henry's bar?
You pay for what you like and you're free to taste everything. Scandinavian food & coffee on an organic base and 3 kind owners.
Do not miss red velvet, choco-vanilla and almost all the other wonderful flavors. Try to be here early in the day, the best flavors get sold out quickly.
So many breakfast options to choose from! Pancakes, granola, toasts, eggs, bacon, ... Yummy.
No doubt the best selection of sour craft beers in Amsterdam. 30+ taps and a large bottle list. If you’re into Lambic, Geuze or Vlaams Oudbruin, this is your place.
new craftsbeer place with a rich menu. not dominated by Belgian/Dutch beers - but focus on different regions, countries and sorts. in that sense probably only one of its kind in Amsterdam ❤️❤❤️
Great spot for Foodies and Beersnobs looking for something close to Leidseplein. Short ribs were pretty good, but I think I'll get the burger duo next time. Get the Caramel Fudge Stout for dessert.
Only Dutch craft beer, 30 on tap and around 100 bottled. Great selection of beers from Brouwerij De Molen. Go check the blackboards and make your choice. Beers on tap also served in 15cl tasters.
The spicy organic meatballs (made by the mysterious Babs) go very well with one of their 20 beers on draft!
Beers are fantastic. Also have a selection of Scandinvian beers which can't be skipped. The burger is not homemade, it comes from next door, but it's not bad either. Free wifi as well.
You can buy De Prael beers and beers from other Amsterdam-based craft brewers at the shop. The De Prael brewpub is located just around the corner.
Ask for try-out assortment and order 'bitterballen'. Unfriend me if you don't.
Guided brewery tours, bar food and, obviously, lots of craft beers. Can get crowded.
Lively unpretentious bar with great beer selection and friendly staff, great atmosphere and nice outdoor area. Need to try the food.
Lots of special beers (Dutch and Belgium) and nice pub food! Always crowded and live music on Saturday evening!
Great beers, both in quantity and in quality, but very average and overpriced food. Go for the beers in good company, not for dinner.
It has a very special atmosphere. People are nice and interesting! The black beer is a must-try! They make own beer! It is so silk-liked smooth teaste! A very good casual place but noisy. Good music!
Can't go wrong with their home-brewed IPA and the classic burger with bacon and jalapeños.
Mooi vomgegeven proeflokaal met eigenzinnige bieren. Wees er snel bij voor de limited editions, sommige bieren wordt maar 25 liter van gebrouwen.
Amazing Netherlands beer on tap! Try one off the "Nederlandss bieren" list on the chalkboard. :)
Right next to Amsterdam Sloterdijk station. Great place to have some craft beers while waiting for your train.
One of the best beer shops in Europe! Amazing selection and very reasonable prices. They have their own import channel, so the US beers they stock are fresh! The staff are friendly and knowledgeable.
Huge selection of specialty beers. A bit on the pricier side, but they are open until 1am (at least) most nights.
