If you spend even a few minutes wandering around De Pijp, you will definitely find somewhere to have a biertje or a glass of wine. But just because you could doesn’t mean you should. Instead, we highly recommend heading to Glou Glou, a fantastic wine bar just around the corner from the Sarphatipark. It’s wonderful & intimate & serves really top-notch natural, organic wines that are all free of additives.

Veranda is a stunning restaurant with an inventive tasting menu situated in a former youth home. Ask sommelier Daan Guelinckx for his favourite wines, and make sure you get a table in the small courtyard on warmer summer days.

Le John exudes elegance with its vintage and minimalist interior. Their chic bar upstairs is perfect for grabbing a drink before or after indulging in their inventive menu that changes on a monthly basis.

This world-famous restaurant run by famous chefs Sergio Herman and Nick Bril is situated in an old military-hospital chapel. We love the contrast between the atmosphere of the historic building and the striking modern design by Piet Boon. If you can't get a table in the main dining room, try the more low key Upper Room Bar upstairs!

Is there a better combination than wine & cheese? If you ask us, there most definitely is not. When a hankering for a few pieces of creamy, funky cheese & an intriguing wine creeps up, hop on your bike & whizz over to Proeflokaal Kef. Their location in Noord has a large tasting room & gorgeous terrace, the ideal place to indulge in a cheese tasting.

A striking mix of Parisian flair, English eccentricity and Danish cool, Hotel Sanders is a boutique hotel like no other. Situated in a townhouse a stone's throw from The Royal Danish Theatre, the hotel is ideally located for traversing the city on foot.
