A lot of restaurants in Amsterdam have started to use more and more locally grown ingredients and serve ecological/organic food. (Hooray!) Next to this there is a big use of second hand furniture.
The city offers a lot of vibrant, original and responsible places to eat, from snackbars til vegan restaurants. So please promise us to not fall for that 5-Euro-Pizza or the steakhouse.

A walk on this market goes like this: A typical Dutch flower stand next to one with Indian spices. One further there is Vietnamese food and his neighbor sells Italian snacks. The man that sells Belgian fries opposite to him waves at the kids of his Surinam neighbor. All these cultures move in great harmony for many years now.

Albert Heijn is not the most favorite for no reason. The fruits they sell are always fresh and good. Most shops have an in-store bakery, butcher and cheese seller. Get something fresh to go and enjoy it in a nearby park. Oh and most shops also have a shelf with products for tourists (stroopwafels etc.)

This rather unknown place is great for everyone searching for food. What I really enjoy about it is that there are also shops selling local stuff and that there are frequent events. Go there for lunch coffee shopping or just to read a book in peace.

Part of the Jan Eef, a local collective of independent shop owners, White Label adds a new level of fun to a street that is slowly reinventing itself. White Label offer a lovely spot of refuge from the bustle outside and the owners are somewhat local legends. You'll see for yourself when you go.

This little sandwich shop is probably the best classic sandwich shop that Amsterdam has to offer. The owner, John Fontaine, is a butcher from origin but he decided to take over this little sandwich shop in 1995. They serve all kinds of dutch classic sandwiches which you should accompany by a good glass of fresh milk.

Visit Plantage Doklaan if you want to have an intelligent conversation with one of the regular visitors or maybe the Dokkers themselves. About the artwork on the wall. About the Liberal Arts that are going on. About the history of Amsterdam. Or maybe about the great food that they will make you for just €5,-.

It's a bubbly street, not just because you can get great bubble tea here. But definitely worth checking out (it's right next to the red light district by the way)

This is where real Amsterdammers go for a drink. If you've heard of the after work tradition of a "borrel", then this is where to do it. The only 2 words of Dutch you will need are "bier" and "bitterballen" (untranslatable Dutch snack!) - "graag" (please) is optional!

Yes, this place is also mentioned in Lonely Planet. But for a very good reason: The food is great and very affordable. Besides.. The place is called 'The Barking Fish'. Isn't that your reason?
