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.

Locals know that the 20 minute wait is well worth it for the best cookies in Amsterdam. Tourists passing through the narrow streets near the Singel canal can't resist the look of this grand, but tiny shop. And if you are looking the wrong way, the smell will make you spin on your heels!

Funky, totally easy going and really friendly, White Label Coffee embodies its owners personalities as much as it embodies delicious coffee. The slightly unusual set up with a raised bar in the middle of the space and the roasting lab behind, makes for interesting people watching while Francesco and Elmer whip up delicious coffee creations.

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 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.)

Every first Sunday of the month the 'Westergasfabriek' turns into a big market that satisfies many needs. Free tasting of Greek wine, Lebanese falafel, Spanish ham and much more to make sure you buy the right thing. Besides food, you will find (second hand) clothes, art and handicrafts.

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 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.

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.

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.

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!

To top the food, you can relax and eat on de Braai's own mini-beach overlooking the Sloterkade. A perfect South facing spot for the upcoming summer months!
The burgers and fries are actually relatively inexpesive considering the pricetag that normally goes with a "lifestyle burger"!

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,-.

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!
