Nine suites make up the refuge that is Capella Lodge. Beach-shack vibes, chic interiors and unfathomably, incredible views make this the paradise that it is. Treat yourself to a stay in the Makambo Loft, where a heated plunge pool overlooks Mount Gower and Lidgbird. 

Truly unpretentious, Apollonia is one of the dreamiest spots for a late spring or summer lunch in the city. We adore settling in on their sun-drenched terrace perched on Marineterrein for creative sandwiches, natural wines and delicious small bites. While we like it best at lunchtime, it’s also great for breakfast (from 10:00 AM), aperitivi or dinner.

Good luck pronouncing the name of this trendy, spacious restaurant if you’re not a native speaker. But luckily, your mouth will be far better occupied gobbling up the simple yet delicious food. Because it’s a bright, spacious room, it’s a great place to dine with a group – they’ll also do a well-priced set menu for you. The killer wine list jam packed with excellent German wines only makes it all the more appealing.

For years, people have slighted vegetables. Thankfully, that’s no longer the case, particularly at Choux, a trendy restaurant near to Central Station (don’t let the location scare you off!) that gives prominence to the humble vegetable. The menu is ever-changing, & the kitchen prides itself on employing as many local, seasonal products as possible. Come to Choux to be delighted by the wonders of the earth.
