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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

My friends/familymembers that come to visit me usually want to see the regular stuff: Damsquare, Museumsquare, Red Ligth District etc. Those areas are worth a visit, but they don't represent what it's like to live in this city. Want to see Amsterdam like a local? Take a stroll through the Plantage and visit some amazing spots: my friends loved it!

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 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.

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..

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?

In the middle of the Vondelpark this place is not only a terrace for summer days. Het Blauwe Theehuis also serves a pretty good lunch and dinner, and, at night it can get quite funky in here. Look at their facebook page for the party agenda.
