For years, people have slighted vegetables. Thankfully, that’s no longer the case, particularly at Choux, a trendy restaurant near to Central Station (don’t let the location scare you off!) that gives prominence to the humble vegetable. The menu is ever-changing, & the kitchen prides itself on employing as many local, seasonal products as possible. Come to Choux to be delighted by the wonders of the earth.

When we think of Hannekes Boom, we think of sunny terraces, the dancing reflections of the Oosterdok waters and sitting by the fireplace on nippy days. It’s ‘gezellig’ here no matter the season!

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
