This corner-side bolthole is a favourite spot to settle down with the paper and sip on a creamy oat flat white. Their lunches are also superb: home cooked, delicious and full of goodness. Though if you happen to be dashing for the ferry, get a coffee and a croissant to go. 

Is there a better combination than wine & cheese? If you ask us, there most definitely is not. When a hankering for a few pieces of creamy, funky cheese & an intriguing wine creeps up, hop on your bike & whizz over to Proeflokaal Kef. Their location in Noord has a large tasting room & gorgeous terrace, the ideal place to indulge in a cheese tasting.

This innovative restaurant in Amsterdam Noord is absolutely worth crossing the IJ for. If you’re wary of cycling all the way back to the city after a few glasses of excellent natural wine, treat yourself to a room at their hotel just upstairs. Not up for a full meal? Grab a delicious treat from the bakery & take it with you as you explore the area.
