Wapen van London

Het Wapen van Londen

Close to the Rembrandtplein on the Amstel, you will find Café Czech and Slovak Cafe, which you also know as Het Wapen van Londen. This cosy café in the centre of Amsterdam is the only Czech-Slovak café in the Netherlands. This bar owes its name to the raised neck gable with pilasters from 1661 on the building.

Restaurant Orbit

Orbit

For modern Asian dishes you can go to Orbit in the Rivierenbuurt. Orbit is a sleek lounge/restaurant with a predominantly black and white interior. It is a place where you can lounge for a long time, with good wine and plenty of finger food and possibly larger dishes.

Kapitein Zeppos

The sun always shines in Kapitein Zeppos. As soon as you walk into the alley 'Gebed zonder End' and leave the busy city behind, the cheer will draw you in. Kapitein Zeppos has a café area on the ground floor where you can also grab a bit to eat. In winter, there is 'café chantant' every Sunday.

De Engelbewaarder

La Vallade

On Ringdijk in Watergraafsmeer you will find a hidden French gem: restaurant La Vallade. A rural interior with French antiques and a large terrace full of flowers and plants. Here you eat a 'French truckers dinner': a healthy four-course dinner for a reasonable price. Pure, Mediterranean dishes without fuss. A soup of roasted peppers and skin-fried hake with anchovies and lemon.

Flamingo

Serving mulled wine and steaming apple pie in winter and fresh mojitos in summer, Flamingo, at the heart of the Albert Cuyp Market, is one venue that suits all. With cool flourishes, such as wooden chandeliers and faux-bourgeois silk wallpaper, this brown café’s unrivalled market view (and extensive beer selection) makes it a perfect people-watching spot.

Café Hegeraad

A neighbourhood staple for more than 100 years, Café Hegeraad is especially well known for its thick, luscious apple pie. With its dark woodwork, blood-red carpeting and old-world wallpaper, you’d expect to find a table of smoking mobsters playing checkers in the backroom, but the crowd is mostly locals and old-timers with a fondness for tradition, newspapers and quiet conversation.

Mayur

For Indian food in a modern interior, go to restaurant Mayur and its adjacent lounge bar Mayur Delight in the quiet part of Korte Leidsedwarsstraat. Mayur opened its doors in 1981 as one of the first Indian restaurants in the Netherlands.

Flevoparkbad

The Flevoparkbad is an outdoor swimming pool located on the edge of the spacious Flevopark in Amsterdam Oost. Here you’ll find an Olympic-size (50-metre) pool for swimming laps, a much shallower pool for children, and a wading pool for toddlers. It is surrounded by green with plenty of room for soaking up the sun and there is also a large playground. The swimming pool is open every year from the end of April through the beginning of September.

Prik

Located in the heart of Amsterdam, award-winning Prik is a friendly, no-nonsense bar where you can relax indoors or on their street terrace. Each night offers a different experience, from resting your feet after a night of shopping to relaxing with delicious gin cocktails on a Tuesday. No matter what night you go you’ll find yummy bites, cocktails and drinks including Prosecco on tap, a pink one too! Plus, great music, no cover charge, and friendly bar boys (and girl) will ensure every night is a winner.

Amstel Fifty Four

Formerly known as the Amstel Taveerne, this lively gay and lesbian bar close to Rembrandtplein got a full makeover in 2007, turning it into a modern video bar that has proved popular with a wide range of ages.

Reality
