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.

A bowl of ramen so good people were willing to queue for it, mourn its closure and celebrate its comeback. This no-fuss spot just across from Amsterdam Centraal has earned a loyal following thanks to its rich broths, perfectly chewy noodles and legendary spicy pork ramen. Order a bowl, take a seat at the counter and embrace the slurping. If you leave without broth on your shirt, you're doing it wrong.s

Omakase-style dining has become incredibly popular in the past few years. One of our favourite spots in Amsterdam for omakase is Ken Sushi. Ken and his team have mastered sushi-making but still make the experience warm, friendly and accessible.

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.
