Salads, yakitori, unami charred aubergine, Hakata Senpachi is a remarkably laid back yakitori-ya where the charcoal fire takes centre stage. 

From the team behind Troef, comes Toet, a laid-back restaurant dedicated to serving Mediterranean food with an Italian twist. With a space large enough for groups – there’s plenty of circular tables to go around – and a bush-surrounded terrace for when the sun is out. 

Could it be the best patisserie in the city? Perhaps. Bringing a slice, or croissant, of France to the Pays-Bas, Grammes is one for the books. Though the plain croissants are exceptional, be adventurous and order a tart to take home. 

As you step across the threshold at Yamazato or Sazanka, you’ll likely be rubbing your eyes in disbelief. Were you just transported to Japan in the blink of an eye? Well, sort of. These Michelin-starred sister restaurants focus on the intricacies of omakase & teppanyaki dining, respectively. Whichever one you choose, you are in for a beautiful meal prepared with great attention to detail.
