Stuyvesant Wijnlokaal:ย We just love to come at Stuyvestant Wijnlokaal to taste one (or three, four, five, ten) of the 110 different wines. But hey, where there’s wine there needs to be cheese as well. Voila!

De Vergulden Eenhoorn: Theย Vergulden Eenhoorn is an old farmhouse in Amsterdam East. This place has such a relaxed atmosphere. In the pick-nick garden or the old cow-shed you can enjoy drinks with your friends. Ideal if you want to avoid the hectic of city centre. The cheese platter with three sorts of cheeses, apple syrup and fig compote are to good!
