Food Scene
This place is great - open at 09:00 every day for coffee and has a great and buzzing atmosphere. Good menu for lunch and dinner too. Kids love it as well! Great wifi and laptop power plug ins by each table. My local and my favourite! Wines, Belgian beers and friendly service.

Famous gastrobar in Amsterdam. Wander up the Amstelveenseweg and check-it out. It is an interesting concept with every dish priced at 15 EUR but the food is exquisite and the surrounding lovely.

Drinks & Nightlife
The little sister of Stadscafe Van Mechelen, this cosy pub located at the foot of the bridge, has a popular terrace when the sun is out & is super cosy in the winter. Always great food & just 40 steps from the apartment.

Everything Else
Be warned / this place has the most beautiful assortments of cakes, chocolates and other sweet delights you will see! Impossible to resist. I´ve taken small boxes of chocolates and biscuits from here on many occasions as gifts when travelling to see friends.
