Part neighbourhood café, part Italian trattoria, Papillon serves everything from morning pastries to late-night plates of homemade pasta. Grab a table on the terrace and order the pipe rigate with vodka sauce and nduja, followed by the mortadella, burrata and honey pizzetta.

Named after the Italian and Greek word for 'Saturday', Stefanie and Jesse – the duo behind Sabato – are focused on bringing strangers together through cooking. Amsterdam is their base, though the pair offer custom catering, dinners, events and the occasional overseas pop-up. Inspired by family traditions, friendships, and connections made through travel resulting, their dishes are creative, playful, and beautifully presented. Expect vibrantly colourful tangerine spritz mocktails, petal-topped pastries, and a creative doll house closet modelled from squared sandwiches. 

Another day, another excellent Amsterdam club. Have a few drinks nearby, swing over to Schietclub on your bike and stay until the wee, wee hours.
