Escape the ever buzzing, ever chaotic city for a relaxed stroll through the popular Vondelpark. As the largest park in the city, there’s always a corner to take it easy with a picnic or space on the path for an early morning jog. If flowers are your thing, you are sure to be delighted by the park’s rose garden, which is home to more than 70 types of roses.

Amsterdam is many wonderful things, but a hotspot for top-notch Mexican food it is not. Until now, that is. Coba Taqueria is an achingly cool restaurant serving a short & sweet menu of tacos, quesadillas & tostadas. If your thirst is as strong as your hunger, indulge in any of the great tequila-based cocktails, natural wines or bright, fresh juices.

There's been a bit of a natural wine revolution in Paris & one of the stars is gorgeous wine bar Vivant 2. Come for the wine, but stay for the delicious food. 

Killer croquettes? No problem! Top notch coffee? Easy! But pizza? Well, that’s a different story here in Amsterdam. Or at least it used to be until Euro Pizza burst onto the scene in the midst of the city's restaurant boom of 2020. This laidback restaurant is good for more than just excellent pizza, however. Head here for delicious natural wines and thoughtful small plates. Or, for a more fine-dining experience snag a table at their sister spot, Restaurant Europa, next door.

It can be near impossible to get a reservation at this Parisian hotspot, but the Sisyphean task is well worth it. Come here for bistro classics like steamed artichoke, steak frites and more.

Artisanal bistro dining at Racines is exactly what you need when in need of elegance and really good food. Set in a former printing factory, this bistro is lively in its charm, and is bold in flavour with their slow-cooked meals.

It turns out that the ever-dapper Babar is just as charming as he was when we were children now that we’re adults. Bathed in warm light and rich jewel tones, this eensy little bar is perfect for dates. Or for finding a date for next week! Come by for a few glasses of wine, a dish of olives and a nice people-watching session.

Renowned for their farm to table kitchen, and an open fire spit roast Sunday, it's fair to say that The Bull has created quite a name for itself. And for all the right reasons. Sensational cooking at your doorstep, as well as a whole host of countryside gallivants; what more could you want! Stay a night or two at The Bull in Charlbury, and we assure you, you're not going to regret it.
