This refreshing, contemporary bed & breakfast is tucked away in an incredible 17th century canal house on the Herengracht. The whole b&b is dotted with works created by local artists. Wander out to the sunny terrace to enjoy their delicious complimentary breakfast while you try to puzzle out the morning news in Het Parool. If you get more than a few words, colour us impressed.

From the outside, Nicholas Groente & Fruit seems like nothing more than a simple, albeit charming, neighbourhood grocer on a little street in Centrum. Head inside, through the shop and then outside once again, and you’ll realise it’s much, much more. Nicholas Groente & Fruit’s secret garden is home to works by some of the best street artists in the Netherlands. Grab your weekly groceries and see striking street art ‘in the wild’.

This uncomplicated little bistro has a laid-back French menu and and inviting, relaxed atmosphere. Expect a wonderful rotation of new wines to accompany their delicious menu!
