What was once a bare bones car garage has been miraculously transformed into an elegant, industrial gourmet restaurant. Though we’d never say no to a cosy, intimate dinner at Hotel de Goudfazant, it’s one of the best places in town to head with a big group. Wear your loosest trousers because you won’t be able to resist ordering all of the delicious seafood on the menu.

Barracuda's surprising new venture comes in the form of a Surinamese pop-up kitchen. Cocktails, scrumptious flavours and delicious vibes, with plenty of colour. 

A cold plunge a day! That's made all the more easy if Kuuma Sauna is just a cycle away. With a few locations dotted in the city and beyond, it's about time to sauna and 'Iceman' the Nordic way. 

While it can feel cavernous and a little sterile, Barracuda is still amongst our favourite spots in Noord. It’s ideal for a raucous group dinner thanks, in fact, to the very vastness that could make you think it’s uninviting. Really, it’s all charm—especially in summer. Reserve a table and let the robot waiters sweep you off your feet with octopus salad, shrimp croquettes and kibbeling so good you’ll wish you were Dutch.
