Dukkah Deli is a cozy spot in Leidsche Rijn serving fresh, homemade dishes with a Middle Eastern twist, friendly staff and a relaxed atmosphere.

Loafing Cafe is a combination of bakery, with excellent sourdough, a cafe and creperie with a garden. Enjoy the comfortable seating and the warmth of the team!

What I love most about Gelato Ladies is that every season brings something new to try. I truly recommend trying something seasonal, it’s always delicious!

Get off at Metro Colonel Fabien find an amazing collection of used books, vintage magazines, comics and whatnot (not just in French!) for only 1-3 euros!

Kadıköy Produce Market has all kinds of shops & food, but what stays with you is the feeling of the place, its own rhythm as the market moves around you.

Steinsee is not the city’s grandest lake, but it has that rare combination: warm water, space for play, and a table waiting when the appetite arrives.

Det Vide Hus is super affordable, extra cosy (or hygge as we’d say in Danish), with one of the best coffees in the city & a great selection of Danish pastry!

In an area full of chains, visit the family-run Crown Café. I'm a big fan of their sandwiches & their pastel de nata and they make a great cup of tea.

Visit Eiffel Bazar if you’re hunting for a quirky souvenir or simply love rummaging through history. And don't forget to check the box of old cinema posters!

Sprout is a chic, minimalist pizza spot, small but welcoming. Fresh, local ingredients, house-made bread and sauces make their short menu truly delicious!
