BADHUS have a few locations dotted about the shores of Amsterdam Noord. Though it's the hot-box behind Café Soleil that draws us in. Sauna and cold plunge your way through the seasons. 

Amsterdam Noord is the birthplace of the hippest new spots of the city, including, of course, Klaproos. This laidback, casual-cool pop-up pizzeria is simple, delicious and a really great place to kick back and play pool.

De Ceuvel is a biological and ecological heaven built in an old shipyard that is currently home to a completely circular office park - think a hippie, sustainable version of Silicon Valley on a bunch of Dutch houseboats! 

Meander across the wobbly scaffolding past the ‘office boats’ to get the full scope of the project and end your evening at Cafe De Ceuvel for a completely sustainable meal. 

Amsterdam Noord is the place to be for all things hip & happening. This formerly overlooked corner of the city has had a serious renaissance in the last few years, and it's only getting better. A favourite of ours in the 'hood is cornerstore. This charming restaurant has a menu heaving with fantastic natural wines & eastern Asian-inspired bites.
