Owned by the team behind Glouglou, this equally intimate bistro-bar serves wonderful French bites that pair perfectly with their new-wave natural wines. It's unpretentious and welcoming - the kind of place you'll come back to time and time again.

If you’ve been flipping through this book, you’ve probably noticed that Amsterdam is a pretty incredible place to drink coffee. No matter the ‘hood, there’s always somewhere to get a good cup of Joe. Lot Sixty One is one such place. But the real reason you can find us there on most Saturdays? The cinnamon buns. They are truly out of this world.

After a long stroll through the Vondelpark, we love popping over to Trakteren for a coffee and one of their many delicious cakes. 'Trakteren' means 'to treat' in Dutch. A very fitting name indeed! 

Bon Burger in Amsterdam Oud-West arose from the numerous pop-ups and residencies hosted at its sibling wine bar, Bottleshop. Though the extensive wine list prevails at the new location, the small plates and nibbles are subbed for burgers and fries. With a seasonal, monthly special or the usual four-burger rotation, the patties are loaded with sauce, toppings, and stuffed into a homebaked, golden brioche roll or potato bun. The vegetarian option isn't an afterthought, instead a beyond meat pattie is as equally juicy as the beef. On those summery Amsterdam days, the waterside terrace spills over with families and friends, catching the last of the evening rays. No matter the day and no matter the time, its walk-in only, for it is a burger joint above all else.
