Anyone with a long layover will want to visit Saigon Caphe Central Station, because you don't even have to leave Amsterdam Central Station for this place. Just like at their first location on Gelderlandplein, they serve excellent banh mi ga xả, fried tofu rolls, spring rolls, lemongrass chicken satay, and other classics like their famous pho.

The biggest hit right now? The onigiri from Wagaya Japan Onigiri. Here you can choose from eleven freshly made onigiri varieties every day, from unagi to beef cheese and tuna mayo. They're all equally delicious, so coming back is a must.

Bakhuys is one of our favorite bakeries in Amsterdam. Have you ever tried their currant and nut bun with cheese and butter? They also have a wide variety of sweet treats for on the go or at home, including sourdough bread, pizzettas, and sandwiches.

A bit hidden, but not unloved. De Hapjeshoek previously received a 9,5 (!) rating from Het Parool for their takeaway meals. Mara Grimm even called it "eating in Surinamese heaven." De Hapjeshoek has been around for over 25 years and is run by three brothers. Surinamese cuisine features a mix of Creole, Javanese, Hindustani, Chinese, and European influences, and you can taste them all at De Hapjeshoek. From pom to vegetarian pastries and, of course, homemade sambal: there's no shortage of delicacies here.

Zero Zero is now located in a number of places in Amsterdam, and that means you'll almost always have your favorite sandwich within easy reach. The Zuidas is certainly teeming with restaurants and cafes, but Zero Zero is definitely a favorite.

Take the exit on Koningsstraat and you'll suddenly find yourself at Il Sogno. The homemade pizza is just as delicious as the freshly prepared desserts, including the cheesecake with a Bastogne base. A must.

Bar Lely is located at the foot of an apartment building and adds a splash of color to the surrounding area. They describe themselves as an extension of Amsterdam West's living room, and that's precisely what the atmosphere feels like.

The Breakfast Club at Sloterdijk is always a lively place, with a mix of commuters, groups of colleagues celebrating something (many companies are located near Sloterdijk Station), and travelers enjoying a hearty lunch before continuing their journey. The Breakfast Club is a great, no-nonsense spot where you can always order eggs, waffles with chicken, and other classics.

Bar Bret is just as great for a party during ADE as it is for a long sit on the terrace (including lunch or drinks) on an average weekday. On the menu? Organic and local produce, and a wide selection of draft beer.

There's still plenty more to come (Amsterdam-Noord is teeming with excellent restaurants and cafes), but for now, Le Perron is the perfect spot for a quick lunch or coffee. Looking for an alternative? Have a coffee at the bar at the Tribe Hotel, not far away.
