While New York, Los Angeles & London are certainly at the forefront of the boutique fitness studio revolution, we hold firm that Amsterdam is catching up quickly. PLTS is a sleek & stylish Pilates studio located in Amsterdam’s Oud West. Don’t be fooled by the chill, calming décor (though we do love feeling like we’re at the spa). The workout is killer. We promise.

During the day, this sleek little spot is the perfect place to pick up a coffee & a killer cinnamon bun – here they call them kanelbullar – to take with you to the Oosterpark. At night, though, 4850 is transformed into a cosy, romantic restaurant with an excellent wine list. Although you might think you only want three courses, we highly recommend going for the whole shebang, as we’ve yet to have a bad bite here.

It's easy to fly right past Bottleshop on your bike and never notice it’s there. But that, my friend, would be a serious shame. This refined, minimalist wine bar is sleek but still charming and has a fantastic menu of natural wines from around the world. Come by for a great bottle and some inventive small plates.

For a classy Parisian evening, we suggest heading over to La Hollandais for a refined 6-course menu of French dishes. Chef Rebwar Abdulkarim takes a daring approach to the classic cuisine while staying true to tradition.
