Guidebook for Amsterdam
Food Scene
Graceland BAR-B-Q
8 Jan van GalenstraatGreat food, good vibes, live music on sundays
Koffie ende Koeck
175 HaarlemmerwegA very nice cafe, lots of vegan and gluten free food
This is my favorite breakfast spot in the neighborhood, and one of the few places that serves breakfast all day. Try the "wentelteefjes" (french toast) if you are into sweet breakfasts!
Café Rue De Sèvres

Bella Storia

This tower just opened, and if you feel like splashing out I really recommending their top floor restaurant Madam. Both the food and the view is amazing, and going up to the lookout is included in your reservation (without a reservation this costs 12,50 for adults). Do call ahead of time to reserve though (several weeks if possible) - they are very popular at the moment!

This is a great place for sunny days. Its about a 15 minutes bike ride from the apartment, and it´s got some nice spots from swimming on the north-eastern side of the lake. Bike through the Mercatorplein on Jan Evertsenstraat on your way back to check out the many new and hip neighborhood bars popping up there.
