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.

Amsterdam’s maritime museum immerses you into the rich naval history of the Netherlands with its vast art collections and interactive multi-media showcases. From fun activities for the little ones to fascinating alternating exhibitions, this museum tells the story of the Netherlands’ years at sea.

When we think of Hannekes Boom, we think of sunny terraces, the dancing reflections of the Oosterdok waters and sitting by the fireplace on nippy days. It’s ‘gezellig’ here no matter the season!

Beautifully situated at the crux of two little canals, Entrepot is stunning before you even step inside. The interior, like many of our favourite restaurants in the city, is sleek & pared back with an industrial edge. The food employs similar restraint, elevating simple, fresh local ingredients & pairing them with an exciting, dynamic wine list. You could come here weekly & never get bored.
