Warehouse Chic in Noord
Housed in a sprawling 1,200-square-meter warehouse, Hotel de Goudfazant's interior is a mix of raw industrial style with eclectic touches, like a grand chandelier made of drink bottles, playful red canteen chairs, and long linen-draped tables. This hotspot for the city's creative and curious is a prime place to sample the best of Amsterdam's chic but laidback cuisine.
Boasting an elegant but unpretentious menu, you can find all kinds of flavours on offer, from fresh fish to Dutch favourites like 'hemelse modder' (heavenly mud), a kind of chocolate mousse dish that is as divine as its name suggests.
The Neighbourhood
Amsterdam Noord is bursting with the city's trendiest places to eat, drink and explore. Visit an exhibition at the EYE Filmmuseum, catch a film at local indie filmhouse FC Hyena, or wander through the serene Noorderpark.
