Sure, Amsterdam has no shortage of great parks that are perfect for whiling away an afternoon in the sun, but we couldn’t possibly leave out the Westerpark. In addition to its expanses of leafy green space, the Westerpark also has a lively creative and nightlife scene. Pop into the Westergasfabriek to check out indie shops, a cinema, and cool restaurants.

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! 

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!
