DK Travel : Amsterdam : Central Canal Ring : Places to eat

Bojo

Inexpensive, informal and Indonesian – head here after most of the city’s restaurants have gone to bed.
Choice

Fantastic veggie restaurant with a young cook that does wonders.
Dining Eleven

Chef Martin Keus produces fantastic Mediterranean-inspired fish dishes (meat-lovers are also well catered for). Excellent value.
Goodies

A culinary delight in the heart of the Nine Streets. Healthy soups, salads and sandwiches by day; the perfect pasta by night.
Los Pilones

This Mexican cantina is small, but size isn’t everything. Savour the authentic home cooking, between slams of tequila.
Noa

Canalside chic is reinvented at this New York-style lounge bar, with champagne, cocktails and couches to kick back in. The food is hip, but sometimes it misses.
Nomads

This late-night restaurant is the ultimate in decadent dining. Kick off your shoes and lounge on mattresses while food is served to you from bronze platters. DJs enhance the Arabian experience at weekends.
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.
The Dylan

Save this restaurant located in Anoushka Hempel’s upmarket hotel for a special occasion. The food is a fusion of French and eastern – highly creative, but at a cost (see Blakes).
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.
