Michelin Star restaurant! Chef Ron Blauw gave back the previous three stars he earned, because he wanted to go back to great food for everyone at a normal price in a relaxed atmosphere. After his first year with this ‘regular’ bar, he got one star back :) Great food. Small dishes. About €15,- a dish.

I wouldn't recommend to go see Amsterdam by car, but if you are visiting by car and you don't want to pay for parking (very expensive!!), you can drive to 'Laan van Vlaanderen'. A 5 minute drive from our house. Parking is still free in this neighborhood and you can take line 2 (tram) to 'Hoofddorpplein' to get to our home again.
I would highly recommend this option if you are traveling to Amsterdam by car, but are not planning to use it during your stay.

If you are not comfortable navigating your own boat, just hop on one of the great boats of 'boat amsterdam'. It's much better than the large hop on/hop off boats in the canals! You can compare it with the boats that the people from Amsterdam use to get around! €17,50/person including a drink and snack.
