This gorgeous park in Oost meanders gently over 7 acres of beautiful land. Back in the 1700s, the park was actually part of a wealthy estate, with gardens designed by landscape architect J.T.P. Bijhouwer, in the middle of Watergraafsmeer. Known as the art and culture garden, Park Frankendael is a real draw because of its cultural-historical, ecological & botanical elements. De Pure Markt!

Many Amsterdam-based high cuisine restaurants are fused with a chic, casual cool and though de Kas does the same, it still takes the essence of fine dining eating seriously. Its philosophy, 'harvested in the morning, on your plate in the afternoon', captures the freshness of the ingredients. Fruits, herbs, and vegetables from the gardens in Amsterdam and the Beemster are at the core of the daily-changing, tasting menu. As one of the first farm-to-fork restaurants, this greenhouse dining experience is superb.

In the mood for some seriously good coffee? Head to Wakuli to satisfy all of those caffeine cravings. Don't be afraid to ask about the beans of the day, the baristas are always more than happy to talk all about the various blends on offer and send you home with a bag of the freshest grinds. 

Located on the corner of Newtonstraat, MAS is a neighbourhood café and sourdough bakery known for its artisanal breads and glorious seasonal Danish pastries (think orange curd with cranberry compote or honey and poached pears), all made using local ingredients.  Open from Wednesday to Saturday, it has recently expanded with its own Atelier location on Pretoriusstraat, a larger space that allows the team to further showcase their craft baking and buttery creations.
