13 x restaurants in Amsterdam North
– Hangar: a restaurant built in an old hangar! The industrial look and feel of Amsterdam North is combined with the warmth of the southern European because of the dishes on the menu.
– Café Modern: a homely vintage interior design and table d’hote concept. Every day they work with fresh ingredients of the season and so there is a daily changing 4-course menu to order.
– Restaurant Stork: a trendy seafood restaurant in an old factory! Try their plateau with Fruit de Mer (recommended!). And of course there are also some good meat and vegetarian options to choose from.
– Hotel de Goudfazant: favourite in North! Here you eat a fantastic delicious 3-course dinner: pure and no nonsense.

– Il Pecorino: this Italian spot on Wilhelminadock serves Italian pizza! And nice: in the summer you can sit on their sunny terrace by the water side.
– SmaaQt: this brasserie on the Pekmarkt has a rugged look and offers products from our own region. Sandwiches, salads, soups and drinks that you can order all day long.
