This family-owned pastry shop is worth a visit for the interior design alone. That being said, their pastries are pretty damn good too. They have a fantastic selection of French & Dutch patisserie, but their (typically Dutch) kroketten are the most popular with local Amsterdammers . You’ve got to do as the locals do, are we right? We thought so.

Specialising in vermouth, wine, and charcuterie, Bar Copa is the latest venture from the family behind the neighbouring Cafe Cenc. Mounds of salted butter are served alongside crunchy baguettes, as salted fish and meat cuts are served on a plate filled with gherkins, cheeses, and olives. Funky interiors, complete with a vintage, marble bar and chessboard-tiled floor, add to the easy-going, vibrant feel of this vibrant wine bar. 

Taking street style to a new dimension, Maha Amsterdam is the spot where you can truly discover that Scandi-chic, casual fashion. Specialising in footwear, though also curating some of the best clothing, walking into Maha truly feels like entering your dream, 'smart-casual' wardrobe. 

Bringing some truly tasty, authentic Indonesian food to Amsterdam's Grachtengordel is Proper Indofood. Whether it's their Sambal Setan, or Ayam Kecap expect a kick of spice and a fusion of flavours. The perfect lunch to-go: get it to take away and tuck in whilst overlooking the canals.
