Vaguely Specific: This place was 10 seconds from our apartment, best toasties ever and in autumn an Amstel bokbier that wasn't too bad either. Great meals.
Amsterdam Magazine: A great place for afterwork drinks and meeting new people. Not as great if you don't like crowds. Try hanging on their terrace when the sun is out!
Amsterdam Magazine: A nice cafe with a good atmosphere in one of the nicest neighborhoodsof Amsterdam. It has a simple menu with a variety of fresh fish from the market everyday!
Melle Sprenger: Just passed along the crowded terrace, great place to sit outside in the middle of traffic and bikes, even when the weather is getting less sunny!
