Food Scene

If you decide to have a little bite, the ‘Foodhallen’ is your place. It is a bit overpriced, but you are there for the experience also. It is around 15 min walking from my place. It opened in ‘De Hallen Amsterdam’ – a newly renovated tram depot – in October 2014. You can still see the tram tracks in the ground of the building. The concept was inspired by indoor food markets like the ‘Torvehallerne’ in Copenhagen, ‘Mercado de San Miguel’ in Madrid and the ‘Borough Market’ in London. Wander around in the large loft-like space and discover the very best “culinary Amsterdam” has to offer. Various hospitality concepts will serve a selection of small (signature) dishes for locals and tourists to

Murals & chandeliers adorn this bustling converted church serving very good African & Middle Eastern dishes. Combine this restaurant with your visit to the AlbertCuip Market. Order the Bizar Bazar for 2ppl. Tip: ask them to change the meat with chicken (the meat is sometimes chewy).

The best Thai food restaurant in town. Make sure to go to the Snackbar restaurant (There are two Bird restaurants opposite to each other). The idea of the snackbar is that you order, eat, pay and leave. There are 4 tables which will be shared by different people, expect stranger's to sit next to you:) Their green curry and Pad Thai are exceptional. Fish cookies (Vis koekjes) are also very good starters. Meal no.37 is also very good :)

Excellent food, 3 or 5 course menu. The Chef goes out to the market every day and thinks of a unique recipe. Whatever you eat there, might be a once in a life time thing!

Super kind staff and good service. Concept of the place - tiny portions that you need to combine to big meal. And that meal is delicious. Also, I liked the option of “surprise” food, when you can choose type of the food, but kitchen gonna select what exactly they will cook you. Good option if you want something delicious, but can’t understand what exactly.

I go here often because I can sit among people and work. friendly staff. The service is not the best as they are late and forget orders, but I don't mind. The Acai bowl is the thing to go for.

Cute, cozy little bar with lovely atmosphere. It feels like home kind of a place. They have a good selection of beers for a very reasonable price. On Friday and Saturday nights can be very busy, but still lovely. People behind the bar are very friendly. Visitors are diverse ranging from students, expats to experienced locals. Definitely a place to visit.
