Toscanini is a steadfast, Italian restaurant in Amsterdam. Founded in 1985 and since moving in 1990 to its current Lindengracht location, it has been serving Italian classics with a ‘twist’ ever since. Come for the antipasti, primi, secondi magic, reserve a table by the kitchen to sneak a peak at the chef’s whirling about the kitchen, and stay for the terrific, homely atmosphere.

If there is such a thing as a perfect neighbourhood café, Café De Linden comes remarkably close. Don't come expecting elaborate dishes or fancy cocktails. Instead, you'll find toasties, good wine, and lots of friendly faces.

Going vegan doesn't mean giving up on delicious baked goods. At SAINT-JEAN, you can stock up on treats like their lemon yuzu and thyme cake or their ridiculously good pistachio cruffins.
