"Bruno's" in Jordaan in Amsterdam makes really good coffee. I always start my weekend routine with a visit here and am always greeted by Bruno himself!

"Metropolitain" is a cute little breakfast and brunch spot in Rokin, which is normally a horrible tourist trap of a street, but this is worth braving it...

"Pata Negra" in Amsterdam instantly makes me feel as if I've been transported to Spain. My absolute favorite there is the queso frito...

"Rotisserie" Amsterdam is one of those places where I can order anything and be sure it's going to be good -- I'd know, I've tried everything on the menu.

"Javastraat" in Amsterdam Oost has changed over the years, but it's still one of my favorite streets. It's a nice mix of new and hip and decade-old spots!

"Louie Louie" is possibly my favourite bar in Amsterdam east because of the good vibes, drinks and food. Especially the drinks menu is exceptional...

"Bar Bukowski" is one of my favorite bars in Amsterdam East. I have travelled across the city for its coziness many times. Check out their lunches & coffee

"Vegan Junk Food Bar" Amsterdam is perfect if you believe vegan burgers and parmesan fries can never be as good as 'the real thing'. I'm a convert myself.
