Vermeer

The hustle and bustle of Centraal Station seems far away when sitting under the beamed ceiling and brass chandeliers of this stylish and very friendly restaurant. Michelin-starred chef Pascal Jalhaij creates deceptively simple but superb dishes. Try the four-course Vermeer menu, which changes daily.
Villa Zeezicht

With wooded warmth and charm, this relaxed corner café has picture windows overlooking the wide cobbled bridge of the Singel.
VOC Café

Housed in the city’s oldest defence tower, the Schreierstoren, this spacious traditional-style bar has a “reading room” out back and two terraces overlooking the water.
Wagamama

Fast food, slow service – but you could do worse for a quick lunch. Don’t miss the king-size chess action taking place on the giant board outside.
Wijnand Fockink

Barely looking a day older than its 1679 origins, this is the bestproeflokaal (tasting house) in town. The hidden garden out back is only for use by guests of the Krasnapolski Hotel (see Wijnand Fockink).
Wildschut

Take in the surrounding Amsterdam School architectural styles from the terrace of this grand café famous for its Art Deco interior.
Zushi

Hyper-modern and hyped-up, this is the place to be if you like your sushi with a zing.
’t Arendsnest

Over 130 types of Dutch beer (many from small, local breweries) are served at this specialist bar – with several on tap. On the last Sunday of each month, sample 10 different kinds in their informal tasting sessions.
’t Smalle

Originally a liquor distillery, this split-level brown bar is now a discerning wine-café. A mustsee.
“Coffeeshops”

Here, intoxicants take a different form, and smoking rather than drinking is the predominant activity.
