LOWLANDER BOTANICAL BAR & RESTAURANT

The founders of Botanical Bar & Restaurant from the Amsterdam-based beer brand Lowlander aimed to create a ‘botanical heaven’ on the menu, ideally in line with their famous beers. Since its opening, everything that nature has to offer has been central at the restaurant’s gathering place in Amsterdam-Noord. Think herbs, plants, vegetables, and fruit, but also within the interior, everything revolves around natural elements.

Bistrot Les Zazous

This place is a typical French restaurant with no frills. The interior is French, with dark wood and classic wines. The menu features a variety of French delights, from duck terrine to grilled bavette, steak tartare, and escargots. And for dessert, of course, there’s a French cheese platter waiting for you โ€“ complete with matching wine.

Ferry

For those familiar with the Houthavens in Amsterdam (just a stone’s throw away from Amsterdam-West), the closure of Pont 13 during the summer months will be greatly missed. Fortunately, you no longer have to mourn, as Ferry Amsterdam is now located in this spot, housed in the same 100-year-old converted ferry. And believe us, this promises a lot of goodness! A delightful spot by the water to enjoy the summer.

REM

A culinary hotspot offering dishes of exceptional quality and matching wines, but at a height of 22 meters!

Vooges aan ‘t IJ

Meneer Nieges has made way for Vooges aan ‘t IJ. You can soak up the sunshine on the extensive terrace by the water with a leisurely lunch and a good glass of wine. This establishment is more suitable for an intimate date. The unique location makes Vooges aan ‘t IJ a romantic spot where you can go for all occasions.

De Willem

De Willem has become our new favourite hotspot in the capital. They have a cafรฉ and restaurant section, where you can dine at both and snack in the summer (preferably on the terrace by the water). In the cafรฉ, you can eat and drink from early morning until late evening, while at the restaurant, you can enjoy lunch and dinner. In addition to exceptional dishes with local and international allure, the wine selection is extensive.

Daalder Streetfood

“I wanted to create a place where everyone feels welcome, people from all cultures. A place where you feel the connection and where I can also make my Moluccan roots tangible,” says chef Dennis Huwaรซ of Daalder Streetfood. At this spot, you can enjoy an extensive dinner by the water. If you’re not done afterwards, the Het Sieraad dance floor is your next destination.

Boothuis bij Sloterplas

On the shores of the Sloterplas, you’ll find Boothuis – a cosy family restaurant in a beautiful setting. Step inside, and you’ll feel like you’re in a traditional boathouse with very good food and a modern atmosphere.

Bam Boa

At Bam Boa, you can sit on the terrace all day long with your feet in the sand. And indeed, at the end of the day, when the sun disappears behind the houses, you get that holiday feeling here while you have a table full of delicious dishes to share and a bottle of rosรฉ.

Waterkant

This remains a favourite way to meet up with friends. Believe me: when your cold beer with fusion snacks tastes at least as good at the picnic tables.

PLLEK

It was unclear for a while, but they can stay for a while at the NDSM wharf in Amsterdam North. Kidsproof has a bit of an alternative vibe and is, therefore, always laidback. It’s always fun at Pllek, and that’s why we’ve been coming back since it opened.

Cafe Lennep

This is one to remember when drinking beers with an extensive snack plate on the table. It is a bit out of the way of the busy hotspots, and therefore, there are often still enough spots to sit down.

Noorderlicht Cafรฉ

Noorderlicht Cafรฉ is a classic in the North, where the atmosphere still really feels like Amsterdam Noord. We are looking forward to the moment when a band can perform in front of an audience again! In the evening, it almost feels like a festival, and during the day,ย it is also a great place to hang out with the kids.

Hangar

Feet in the sand, good food and open from lunch to dinner. We look forward to eating here with friends and then returning on the ferry to KNSM Island with the sand still between our toes. The shortcut for everyone who, like me, lives on the East side of Amsterdam.

T.H.T

Nothing is more fun than going to a concert in the Paradiso dependence and eating at T.H.T. before or after. Especially around the time the sun sets, you have a beautiful view of Central Station from the raised terrace.

Amstel Boathouse

Could cycling be the new way of walking this summer? If you are going to cycle in the direction of Ouderkerk aan de Amstel, Amstel Boathouse is an address to remember for the road. On the way there for a cup of coffee, on the way back for a cold glass of wine with a tasty snack.

L’Osteria

Parents with kids want to remember this spot in the Amstelkwartier. You eat excellent Italian food, but not unimportantly: while you sip your cold drink with a view of the Amstel, the kids can play in the playground right next to the restaurant.
