STRAAT Museum

Art museum

👍👍 What an inspiring and interesting museum it is! The size of most of the pieces is huge so you can almost get lost studying the details. Make sure you read the stories/description of the art. I really loved that it’s in the hangar and has a very industrial vibe. I went with my 2 kids (5 & 3 y.o.) an...

Friedhats FUKU Cafe

Espresso bar

👍👍 I can easily say the best coffee in Amsterdam or maybe Netherlands. Tried a lot of drinks with different origins, all was awesome. Double espresso, filter coffee, flat white and Cappuccino, couldn't be better. I loved Kenya and El Salvador in espresso and Ethiopia in filter. They sell the beans they...

Boer Geert

Restaurant

👍👍 The best sandwiches in Zaandam! My favorite one is a hotdog with spicy chicken sausage. It’s very juicy and a bit hot. Also I can recommend smoothie with coconut milk and mango. There are a lot of tables outside and parking slots.

Rum Barrel West

Cocktail bar

👍👍 One of my favourite bars in Amsterdam. It offers a great cocktail selection in lovely tropical atmosphere. Staff is absolutely charming. Only minus - there are a couple of expensive cocktails in menu (above 20 eur). I’ve tried a couple and in my opinion they don’t worth it. Tip: Come after the sunse...

Smells like Chocolate

Chocolate shop

👍👍 Visited during December 2023 While heading to visit the Windmills, we stopped by this great little chocolate factory shop. We were surprised by the quality chocolate prepared in this place, which was made in the back kitchen, of the little factory as the owner suggests. We tried the hot thick cho...

Lars Amsterdam

Restaurant

🫤 I think that the service wasn’t as good as I have had in other Michelin restaurants, they were very nice but a bit amateur. The food was good, but nothing too special IMO. The restaurant itself is very beautiful and has great atmosphere.
