Mappa is one of my favorite Italian restaurants in Amsterdam. It's on a small alley off close to Dam Square, and is small with an intimate vibe. Service is great and all pasta and other dishes are handmade and delicious!

Bakers & Roasters is hands down my favorite brunch spot. It's a Kiwi-run cafe that serves delicious food and drinks (highly recommend the bloody mary and huevos rancheros/ navajo eggs).

You must visit the Seafood Bar (if you can get a reservation-- otherwise they take a lot of walk-ins if you don't mind waiting at the bar). Tons of delicious Seafood options and always full so there's lots of energy/ ambiance.

You can make a reservation for a brunch cruise in G's Brunch Boat. I believe you're taken out for 1,5- 2 hours and get to choose your food/ drinks ahead of time. G's makes really yummy food so I've heard it's great (haven't been yet myself).
