As the name suggests, Café Beurre is a haven for butter lovers. Chef Kim Jongbloed has crafted a menu full of dishes celebrating our favourite fat. Think rhubarb, chilli and vodka infused butter poured over burrata or roasted red beetroot with ajo blanco and pistachio. Bonus: the whole menu is vegetarian!

This modern neighbourhood smokehouse is a fun retro-chic spot that serves the best Kansas-style barbecue in the city. We like their juicy delicious pork ribs and their pecan pie! 

Just steps from Westerpark, is yet another outpost of the coveted louf bakery. Watch the bakers at work as loaves come fresh from the oven, grab a coffee and order one of their buttery croissants filled with ham and cheese before continuing your stroll through the neighbourhood. There’s no indoor seating but the carefully curated cookbook selection, curated in collaboration with De Kookboekhandel, is worth a browse.
