Beautifully situated at the crux of two little canals, Entrepot is stunning before you even step inside. The interior, like many of our favourite restaurants in the city, is sleek & pared back with an industrial edge. The food employs similar restraint, elevating simple, fresh local ingredients & pairing them with an exciting, dynamic wine list. You could come here weekly & never get bored.

Since you’re already in one of Amsterdam’s greenest, leafiest neighbourhoods, why not go whole hog? Immerse yourself in what truly feels like the wilderness at the Hortus Botanicus. Once you step inside, you’ll feel as if you’ve escaped the city for a tropical paradise, no matter what the weather outside is telling you. As it’s right around the corner from Artis, we love to hit both in one day.

Amsterdam’s maritime museum immerses you into the rich naval history of the Netherlands with its vast art collections and interactive multi-media showcases. From fun activities for the little ones to fascinating alternating exhibitions, this museum tells the story of the Netherlands’ years at sea.

This stunning all-glass café is nestled snugly in the back garden of Amsterdam’s Hermitage Museum. After an hour or two in the museum, we love settling in for a relaxed lunch or a coffee. They’ve got wonderful fresh, healthy salads & sandwiches, all featuring vegetables from their own garden.  It’s also one of our top spots for a luxurious weekend brunch.
