With Amsterdam’s dedicated bicycle culture, this super-friendly city is made for being guided by food! There are so many places that I love to dine at, and planning is not essential when it’s this easy to get around. There’s that very special feeling you get when riding along the canals, knowing that you’re going to arrive at another delectable destination. It’s filled with fun social terraces for drinking and a full range of dining for eating, all part of an incredibly growing culinary scene. The last years have seen an explosion of eating options from farm-to-table dining and amazing seafood through to fully vegan restaurants. It’s a very exciting time in Amsterdam, and there’s more coming!

With bikes, trams and boats, you’ll have tourists and locals coming at you from all angles! So pause a second to take it all in, and get sucked right into this dynamic energy! In exploring the city, you’ll soak up the vibes of the different neighbourhoods and the incredible diversity of the people you’ll meet. This warm, cosy city is special, I don’t know what it is, but there definitely is something in the air that stimulates all the senses—pun intended. Amsterdam will leave you high on all kinds of cravings!

The extensive menu is as colourful and bright as the atmosphere here! The all-day breakfast and lunch fa-vourites, from killer breakfasts to juices and coffee, are served in style in this Kiwi-styled cafe combined with Brazilian flare. Definitely try the ‘veggie brekkie’, the pancakes, acai bowl, and all of the cakes! This is how every morning should start. It’s always busy and it’s still worth signing on to the waiting list. There are now two locations in De Pijp and in East.

BUFFET VAN ODETTE

25 AMSTERDAM

08:00On weekdays, Bocca (see p. 12) is a great option in the city centre. Working while sipping on superior-qual-ity coffee, in a great space, with like-minded people, is much more of a pleasure than work. From here, my eat-ing-through-Amsterdam route can take me anywhere. Caffènation, the Antwerp institution (see p. 12), feels like you rolled over and ended up in your living room, as it is perfect to chill there on weekends! Bert really makes the best coffee. Something I would drive all the way over from Antwerp for.Nothing beats that cup of coffee made by fellow Bel-gian Bert!Be warned that you can easily spend your whole day here. Caffènation can be reached by the prettiest bike ride through the Vondelpark, which leads me to the most perfect cup of coffee.On the way to either coffee location I like to make a quick pit stop at The Cold Pressed Juicery (see p. 11) to grab a green juice, a shot, or their killer smoothie known as ‘The Shit!’.

09:00Bike along the grachten (canals) to finally land at Toki with a perfect cup of matcha and breakfast to go with it.When arriving at Toki (see p. 11), you immediately feel the energy as you walk in. It’s filled with people, all enjoying each other’s company. For me, it’s all about that matcha latte and great atmosphere; it feels like my home away from home. It’s the perfect place to hang out and spend endless moments meeting new people, ordering that cake I was trying to resist, having another matcha latte, and digging into some delicious food.

12:00Lunch is at Buffet Van Odette (see p. 14). I love spending time here; it’s been my unavoidable stop in Amsterdam for as long as I can remember. Everything is amazing there, so order it all, especially their carrot cake! Night time, on the bench outside, in the summer heat with a glass of wine, is a sweet favourite as well! For an insane vegetable-based lunch with a cold glass of kombucha, go to Choux (see p. 14). For lunch, I sug-gest sticking to a smaller menu, as tough as that might be! I otherwise enjoy ordering à la carte when I have an afternoon to spare. It’s all so good! Bak (see p. 22) won me over with their eggplant/miso dish! I thoroughly en-joy it for lunch as you have a wonderful outdoor view, but of course, it’s also great for dinner.

16:00From any one of those locations, it’s back to biking along the grachten, soaking up the best of Amsterdam! Maybe stopping at The Hoxton (see p. 23), checking out the shops in the De Negen Straatjes (The Nine Streets), Tenue de Nîmes for jeans, or drop in at Marqt, a supermarket that has some great curation of foods products!

18:00When the sun is out, I like to take my bike on the ferry—pondje—across the river to hit Noord. It’s glori-ous to hang around on summer days and stay until the sun sets, just relaxing with friends by the river. But in my head, I am actually also counting down the minutes until one of the coolest places, Coba (see p. 20), opens at 18:00! The tricky part is whether to go with friends and fill up the table with tacos, tostadas with cauliflower ceviche, and mezcal! Or maybe I should order it all just for me?

20:00For a classic dinner, it is definitely a plate of pasta at Toscanini (see p. 21), that is if I manage to get a res-ervation or smile my way in! Rijsel (see p. 20) is also an all-time favourite; no bike ride is ever too long when I have their chicken on my mind.You can wine and you can also dine at Cafe Binnen-visser (see p. 20). The crowd and vibe are fun, so you’ll probably want to stay there and have multiple wines by the bar all night long. My favourite table is the one by the kitchen, so you can see what the boys are cooking up! They have a small and clever dinner menu with fun dishes! Oh yeah, sneak in a soft serve at Rosie’s (see p. 21) somewhere in the mix!

22:30Café De Wetering (see p. 19) is also a great local spot. A friend of mine lives nearby, so it’s the perfect place to meet up and wind down at the end of the day.
