Take the ferry behind Central Station (every 15 minutes past the hour, and 15 minutes before the hour and they are FREE) to the NDSMwater front. This is a cool upcoming area with a nice vibe and some great places to eat and drink. This place is an old dock and atmospher is good. The food is ok, but definetly acceptable and the good thing is, you can probaly have a table here without a reservation.

if you LOVE good food (like me) and fantastic wine (yes, me too) than go here. Walking distance and just a fabulous restaurant. THe culinary scene of Amsterdam has exploded in the past years and resulted in great restaurants like this one and the one in our street. Reservations is a must, but this place also does lunch. It's great too. Unless you are vegetarian, than don't go here, not too many options than.

When you see this place, you probaly think I am crazy to recommend it. But really, the eggs sunny side up witch cheese or ham or bacon are the best of Amsterdam. The grilled cheese sandwiches are the best of Amsterdam too. I am really not kidding. The coffee is probaly the worst of Amsterdam. Just so you know. Very Dutch, very local. I do like it for lunch or breakfast (from 11:00 on). When there if a football match the place is cramped. kinda fun tho.

So beautifull! this inside corner of Dutch old house in a circle which is called a "hofje', a hidden neigbourhood. Very old and it all breathes history. Love it. I sometimes still go here to just enjoy the old houses. But I go before the busloads of chinese tourgroups come in, usually before 10:00AM. But it's walking distance make sure to have a look.
