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.

If you don't mind sharing a jar of home made jam or lemon curd with your neighbor, you will love this place. The idea is: 'Just like home, away from home'. By the way, taking your kids is not a problem at all. A lot of toys are awaiting them.

Going to Noorderlicht equals a little holiday with great food at fair prices and guaranteed cosines. You will never see a place like this. Built from mainly recycled material it might look like a mess from outside, but once you're inside it all makes sense.

Amsterdam is: old architecture, beautiful canal-scenery, cool atmosphere - but not many people know that all this can be found in one awesome area: The Plantage (centre/east). It has leisurely parks, cosy cafés (reasonably priced!), a beautiful old zoo, monuments, museums and it is wide, airy and not overcrowded. Perfect for a sunday afternoon.

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.

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.

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.

Pllek serves responsible food. Meat (organic), fish (sustainable) and veggies (organic and seasonal) show that they care about the planet. Most ingredients are locally grown. During the day this is a great place to have lunch, dinner or a relaxed lounge afternoon, but keep in mind that it also owns Amsterdam's biggest disco ball..

Rum Baba is a true neighbourhood magnet and that's why people love it. It brings different kinds of people together who go there to share a great cuppa coffee or tea and enjoy one of their extremely delicious cakes. The atmosphere is friendly and welcoming and it will invite you to a part of Amsterdam that's still relatively unknown.

You won't find many tourists here, simply because it is a bit tricky to find Roest. But the journey here pays off immediately when you walk in. Cosy fire place, old cinema seats, second hand Chesterfield couches, cool art and funny details in the interior. It seems innocent, but at night it can get quite naughty.

Hanneke's Boom has a great view on the centre from a unique side. If you want to get in touch with locals in their 20's and 30's, this is your place. Good prices and okay food for lunch and dinner. Service isn't the greatest, but the variety of events compensate. Vinyl evenings, Jazz & Blues, DJ's, 60's & 70's and lately even a curling event.

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?

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.

Already the sign outside that says which movies are playing tells you what this cinema looks like from the inside. It is the oldest cinema in Amsterdam that is still in use. The cinema is quite tiny: The four halls together offer seats to 400 people. But that is what makes this such a great experience.

This sandwich shop is very popular among the employees of local businesses who run to the shop during lunch and eagerly stand in line to order their favorite 'pastrami and old cheese', 'brie, speck and honey' or 'boeuf bourguignon' -sandwich.
