DK Travel : Amsterdam : Places to eat

Blue pepper

An Indonesian restaurant with interesting deco.
Cafe Bern

An amazing fondue place with a great atmosphere. You can order a steak with your fondue and cook it how you like!
Cafe' Daalder

Visiting Cafe Daalder has been one of the most "gezellig" dining experiences I have had in a long time. This traditional Dutch style brown cafe is conveniently located in the historic Jordaan area of Amsterdam and truly is a real hidden gem to the untrained eye. Daalder offers delicious high quality, creative cuisine at a very modest price indeed, which by far exceeded my initial expectations. A wonderful surprise to discover after a long string of disappointments after moving to the city. For those who appreciate beautifully presented, hand crafted dishes that wont blow your budget, this restaurant is an absolute must whilst in Amsterdam!

Jamie Oliver extended his restaurant empire to Amsterdam in 2005, setting up shop in a beautiful converted warehouse overlooking the Amstel.

The food was stunning, huge meze platter, delicately flavoured pasta and then locally sourced meat. By the time you get to dessert you'll never want to leave. Don't expect a quick dinner - this is leisurely fine dining with a cool and modern twist
Grouchos

The best steak I've eaten. Several branches around the town, but head to the central square for the main one - great atmosphere on three floors.
Meneer Pannekoek

Pancake House, the decor is cosy and original with art nouveau lamps hanging over the tables, black and white pictures of Hollywood stars on the walls. The staff are young and friendly. The delicious pancakes are cooked to order with a large variety of both sweet and savoury fillings. The most delicious are served with a pot of advocaat!
Puccini Bombini

Possibly the most delicious chocolates in the world. Flavours range from the finest interpretations of classics to the odd-sounding but out of this world Lemongrass. Your wallet will be lighter but your taste buds in heaven.
Sichuan Food

Excellent small restaurant on a street with lots of good restaurants - medium priced. The platter of starters is a good choice to split between two people.
The Pancake Bakery

Located in an old warehouse, about 2 mins from the Anne Frank Museum, this place is definitely well worth a visit. They make omelettes and pancakes - both savoury and sweet - and have over 75 different varieties to choose from. They have menus in English, and the waitress that served us spoke perfect English - really helpful if your Dutch isn't up to decoding all the speciality ingredients listed in their menus! The prices are very reasonable as well - check out their website (available in English) for a pdf menu and location map.
