Listings
Amsterdam Bike Tour
See the city the way locals do – on two wheels. A guided ride links the canals, the Jordaan, Vondelpark and quieter corners, with the bike and a confidence-building intro included.
Amsterdam Canal Cruise
The classic way to see Amsterdam – gliding the UNESCO canal ring past gabled houses and under humpback bridges. Options run from hop-on-hop-off to candlelit evening cruises with drinks.
Cafe de Klos
A snug, wood-panelled bar-restaurant near the canals famous for enormous racks of sticky spare ribs at fair prices. No reservations and always packed – arrive early and hungry.
Bakers & Roasters
A sunny De Pijp brunch spot with a Kiwi-Brazilian streak – fluffy pancakes, big breakfast plates and strong coffee. No bookings, so expect a weekend queue that’s worth it.
Foodhallen
A buzzy indoor food hall in a converted tram depot in Oud-West – dozens of stalls from dim sum to bitterballen around a central bar. Great for groups who can never agree on one cuisine.
Ikkoku
A sleek, minimalist counter hidden behind a matcha tea bar in De Pijp, with seating around the open kitchen. A quietly excellent, in-the-know spot for Japanese small plates and tea.
Winkel 43
A corner cafe on the Noordermarkt famous across the city for one thing above all: towering slices of warm Dutch apple pie with a mountain of whipped cream. Come on a Saturday market morning.
La Perla
A cult Jordaan pizzeria turning out blistered, thin-crust Neapolitan pies from imported Italian ingredients. Grab a slice-of-life seat by the canal – locals swear by it.
Gifu
Refined Japanese comfort food in the Jordaan – deeply savoury ramen and perfectly grilled izakaya skewers that draw locals and in-the-know visitors for the craft and authenticity.
