Essentials
A small bodega-style market very close to the flat on Kinkerstraat and Da Costakade. Though small, they actually have a superior produce selection that is better than bigger supermarkets. Here you can reliably get a selection of greens a little closer to what you might expect in American super markets (rainbow chard, tuscan kale, etc). Excellent quality fruits and vegetables in general, along with extensive spices, grains, olives, dates, etc.
