13 X lunch in Amsterdam-Noord

Europizza

Don't expect pizzas you see everywhere else at Europizza – they serve the tastiest pizzas with local and original toppings. If you don't fancy a whole pizza for lunch, they also have plenty of shared dining options. But trust us: you absolutely have to try a pizza here.

No-Yusu

Amsterdam North Nowadays, it's home to a number of trendy specialty coffee shops. NO-YUSU Amsterdam (NO stands for North) is one of the new additions to this list. As you might imagine, NO-YUSU is a sibling of the popular YUSU in Amsterdam East. They serve sandwiches of the day, but their cakes and pastries are also perfect for lunch.

Cafe Soleil

Things are getting better and better around Papaverhoek! Café Soleil Amsterdam, a delightful Mediterranean spot focusing on excellent comfort food, is one of the great spots to stop by for lunch (and breakfast too, if you're feeling fancy). Our favorites: the piperade omelet and the Soleil sandwich.

Cafe Cress

At Café Cress, they do things a little differently. Owner Cyril Martineau met partners Jeffrey Klepper and Niamh Groentjes at their previous employer, Floreyn, on Albert Cuypstraat. Despite a completely different location, Cyril still sources all his ingredients fresh from the Albert Cuyp Market every morning. The menu (which changes every two weeks) includes toast with toppings like tuna melt, cress croque, and a brioche of the week. Be sure to save room for the vanilla tarte tatin.

Café Modern

Café Modern is a great place for lunch on the weekend. Sometimes they offer an Italian lunch that you can reserve in advance, but you can usually just drop in. A bonus: there's a space for private dining in the old vault of the building.
