DK Travel : Amsterdam : Places to eat

Pulpo

Mainly Mediterranean dishes with the occasional Asian detour.
Rakang

Totally authentic Thai; one of the best of its kind in the city. Those in the know load up at their cheaper, equally delicious takeaway next door.
Rose’s Cantina

This Mexican cantina has Tex-Mex down to a tee – the food is varied and delicious, and the margaritas are served in pitchers!
Sjaalman

A trendy Thai that looks across the canal to the Westerkerk. A tad expensive, but the food is authentic.
Sound Garden

Don’t let the tattoos, piercings and grunge factor put you off. This huge bar has a great atmosphere and some unusual beers on tap, too.
Spanjer & Van Twist

At this popular spot on one of the prettiest canals in town you’ll find pleasant staff, a friendly, down-to-earth atmosphere, good sandwiches and salads, and a fine waterside terrace (see Spanjer & Van Twist).
Spanjer & Van Twist

The perfect place to rest those weary feet. Hole yourself up for the afternoon in the secondfloor window seat.
SSK

Hanneke cooks fresh produce she’s bought from the markets that day, and serves you from her open kitchen. One of the city’s best kept secrets.
Stout

This hip, white, minimalist establishment serves a Mediterranean-inspired menu alongside sandwiches and salads.
Supperclub

There’s a decadent lounge bar in the basement of this painfully hip restaurant. Dress to impress if you want to get in.
