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.

HEMA is a (small) department store that sells local food, clothes and all sorts of supplies. But next to that they are also famous for their restaurant/cafeteria. The €1 breakfast and '4'o'clock' (coffee and cake) are local favorites.

If you are looking for the ultimate indulgence, or a highlight to a picnic when heading to the Voldelpark, you can't go wrong with a box of 6 of these cookies. They are always cooked to perfection, served warm the whole day through and immaculately presented.

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.

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.

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.

Albert Heijn

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.)

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.

If you are tired of all the kroketten, herring and poffertjes and you want to explore food from another culture, Bazar is a great place to go to. Surprisingly low prices for all such lovely food: couscous, mosamma, kebab and other dishes from North Africa and the Middle East.

Visit the bakery if you want to experience a typical Dutch breakfast or lunch. And with typical I mean the way most Dutch people have it at home. You can for example just order one slice of one bread with cheese and another one with.. whatever you like. Nice detail: You can peek inside the bakery when you order.

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?

What I am saying is that at the Hortus you feel like you've entered another world - yet it still has the exciting thrill of the city. There are so many wonderful things to discover there, as you pass by scenic gardens that remind you of childhood-fairytales. In wintertime I love going into the greenhouse and fantasize that I'm in the tropics!

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!

If you want to try the traditional Dutch fried food, FEBO is your place to go. This time it isn't the shops that are impressive, but the quality of their snacks and the way they present them. FEBO sells their snacks through automatics in the wall.
