A soup bar and salad bar in one. Nice atmosphere, food is really good. Not cheap, but worth it. Take away and a few small tables inside. I love their apricot, spinach, goat cheese salad. Lekker!

Bosco simply has the best terrace in our neighborhood. On sunny days it is the ideal place to get some sun! This is a friendly place, with a nice choice of breakfast, sandwiches and snacks. Close to a busy road but also on the edge of a lovely part of town (Bosboom Touissantstraat / De Genestetstraat).

Sightseeing
the canals are at their best early morning or late in the evening. We especially recommend the Brouwersgracht. Did you know that locals memorize the three famous grachten (Prinsengracht, Keizersgracht and Herengracht) by the rhyme Piet Koop Hoge Schoenen? P - K - H :)

We recently discovered this boat rental company. An electric boat with room for 8 gives you the chance to view the city and its famous canals from the water, a great experience even after living in this city for over 20 years. Steering these boats is all very easy, just follow the rules. The Nassaukade is a 15 minute walk from our home. Just bring something to eat and drink and enjoy! Make reservations through their website IN ADVANCE. We would recommend going at 20.00h (during summer months), for a 2 hour trip.

Beautiful beach with a good selection of beach clubs. You will need a car to reach Noordwijk, which is 35 minutes from our home. On the plus side: you will get to see the area between Amsterdam and the ocean - famous for its flowers! Parking can be dramatic during summer holiday so either leave very early and have a morning stroll and breakfast OR go for dinner!

Newly opened hot spot in former public transport hall. Food market, art house cinema, designer stores, hotel, restaurant - the place to be. Can be very crowded in the weekend so we would recommend visiting during weekdays.

Simply the best flower shop there is! Gorgeous flowers, vases. Arjan and his friendly staff sell ready made bouquets but also have a large selection of flowers. Even if you do not buy anything his shop is worth a visit.

Arts & Culture
This museum is dedicated to bags! What makes it extra special is the fact that it is housed in a gorgeous, ancient canal house. It is possible to see the dining room, the old kitchen and thus get a taste of how noble families lived in the Golden Age. Beautiful garden too.
