Chef Timo de Beurs has turned his attention to a new, exciting venture: Café Wu. Inspired by classic Chinese cuisine, de Beurs’ bistro takes a new approach with European techniques and ingredients. And while most people probably come for the food, the team at Café Wu have given extra special attention to the music. A groovy collection of vinyls and tapes blast through the speakers, making this place an absolute blast.

Housed in a stunning building situated in the east of Amsterdam, the Tropenmuseum is all about showcasing world cultures. Peruse their fascinating collection of global art and enjoy the beautiful architecture. 

There’s something incredibly appealing about a true local haunt, a place where the familiar faces hang on weekday evenings or weekend afternoons. Buurtcafé de Tros is a particularly charming iteration of “the local”. Come by if you’re in the mood for fresh, interesting natural wines, creative small plates and, our go-to order, a very good smash burger. As expected, the tables get filled fast, so make sure to reserve a table in advance although the terrace remains walk-in only.
