Bird Thai has been a stalwart of Amsterdam's dining scene for years. Though it's tucked amidst the chaos of the Red Light District, the vibe is actually pretty relaxed inside. Expect solid versions of Thai classics.

It might sound a bit hyperbolic, particularly when you see all the other incredible buildings in Amsterdam, but this is probably one of the most beautiful & Instagrammable places in the whole city. This 17th century canal house has its very own chapel that just so happens to be bright pink. This is a photo opportunity that can’t be missed.

Named after a fabulous femme who used to pound the streets of Centrum for decades, enchanting everyone she passed, Trees is set to become the same kind of household name quite quickly. And not just in the neighbourhood. Flattering lighting, warm wood pannelling and a menu that feels simultaneously accessible and special, Geza Weisz’s latest outpost is just wonderful.
