Food and drinks in Amsterdam
Dinner
There are too many bars and restaurants in Amsterdam to mention them all, but we have listed some. Typical Dutch food/meal, let's say the food eaten by our parents contained potato, vegetable and fish or meat. And we like a sandwich for lunch. There are a couple of restaurants serving typical dutch food.
- Moeders, can easily be reached by Tram 13 from B&B.
- Hap Hmm, open from 16:30-20.25, kitchen closes 20.00. No reservation are taken, so arrive early.
Restaurants nearby the B&B, within 15 minute walk of a few stops by tram, ask us for directions.
- Bar Frits, beer (40) and vega burger.
- Bar Baarsch, taco chips with pulled pork is a meal for 2 !!
- Cafe Cook, good food.
- Wilde Westen, walking distance. Pizza.
- Hotel Buiten, unique outdoor location.
- Van de Buurt, as local as it gets.
Hamburgers have become a popular item and many restaurants offer their chef's version: find the best on Awesome Amsterdam.

Lunch
While the centre of town is very touristic there are a couple of good lunch addresses, see the map "De beste lunchtenten in de binnenstad".
- Eetsalon van Dobben, Dutch sandwich for lunch. "Broodje Kroket"-the best croquette you can get.
- Gebroeders Niemeijer, French bakkery.
- Taka Japanese Kitchen, hidden behind a shop on the 2nd floor.

The best B&B in Amsterdam!
“The couple who run this B&B are by a long stretch the two most hospitable, friendly and just all round lovely people we have had the pleasure of staying with on our 10 week trip through Europe.
If you really want to do something to return their lovely hospitality I suggest you book through their website rather than booking.com or TripAdvisor. They will appreciate that.”

The best hosts ever
"Rhalf and Kitty were amazing - when we first arrived, Rhalf gave us a very detailed overview of a ton of things to do in AMS, along with a map marking the spots. The room was amazing and sparkling clean, with a beautiful view of the canal.
The place is super close to tram, making it very easy to get around the city. The breakfast itself was a delicious traditional Dutch breakfast, with more food than you can eat. Rhalf and Kitty are the best hosts ever - you're missing out if you don't stay here."
