De Pasteibakkerij is a promised land for lovers of French charcuterie. Diny Schouten and Floris Brester sell their homemade pâté, sausages and rillettes and this lovely little shop. These meat lovers hold firm that every part of an animal is valuable. Tout est bon dans le cochon!

You may or may not love Sake, but chances are you'll fall in love with this Sake Bar. Utage Sake Bar may be relatively new to the Amsterdam dining scene, though it is fast becoming the neighbourhood spot for some Japanese bites and premium sake. Settle down for some Salt'n'Yuzu liqueur, and some seriously tasty plates, and we bet that you'll be returning time and time again. 

Creative mastermind Jonathan Sparber is revamping western cuisine through a sustainable lens at remouillage. His no-waste policy has led to the creation of some unique and experimental dishes, like his signature cod head. 

Raymond Plat (you may remember him from 212), Niels Leijssenaar, Roderick Kunst and Willem Alberts have teamed up to create what will surely become an Amsterdam institution on par with Rijsel, De Kas or Buffet van Odette. The menu is a la carte – a bit of a rarity with the city’s best restaurants these days – and focusses on French-ish dishes with a meander into Mediterranean flavours every now and again.
