Van Dobben

This sandwich shop is a true Amsterdam classic! It's the best place to get a kroket, but they also have delicious sandwiches with different meats. Some of my favourites: kroket, rosbief and ossenworst.

Little Collins

Great brunch cafe in de pijp. They serve Middle Eastern style food and have many vegan and vegetarian options. It’s always busy, but the wait is never too long.

Winkel 34

Best apple pie in Amsterdam! Do I need to say more? They are open all day, and serve lots of other things as well, but I obviously recommend the apple pie, with a hot chocolate on the side.

Café de Jaren

Café de Jaren is a casual and “gezellig” cafe, with a terrace on the water. Great place to go for a coffee with cake, lunch or a quick bite to eat at night.

Café Luxembourg

A classic Dutch cafe in central Amsterdam. Nothing fancy, just classic Dutch meals and a good atmosphere.

Made's Warung

A lovely neighbourhood restaurant in Amsterdam Oud-Zuid. They serve traditional Balinese food. When you have time I recommend eating there, but they do take-away as well.

Kantjil & De Tijger

I highly recommend trying some Dutch Indonesian food when you’re visiting Amsterdam. Kantjil & de Tiger is an excellent restaurant to do this, located in the city centre. Go for the classic rijsttafel which consists of many side dishes served in small portions, accompanied by rice prepared in several different ways.

De Pizzabakkers

De Pizzabakkers is one of my favourite pizza places. It's a casual place where they serve great pizza and one of the few places where the tiramisu is almost as good as my mums (iykyk)! My favourite pizza is the 'spinaci'.

Multiple locations, also outside Amsterdam.

Vleminckx

Best flemish fries in Amsterdam! It's not really a restaurant, just take-away spot for fries. 'Price not includes saus'.

De Koffie Salon

I love getting a coffee at the Koffie Salon in the Utrechtsestraat, because the atmosphere is great. It's a no laptop place, with a long table where people just sit together, enjoy a good coffee and read a magazine or newspaper.

De Ysbreeker

A brasserie style restaurant, which is open all-day for breakfast, lunch and dinner. It's always very lively and it has a fantastic terrace for outside drinks and dinners in the summer.
