Tucked on a side street near the Melkweg concert hall, De Zotte (“The Crazy”) is a tiny little Belgian bar that serves amazing Belgian steaks and frites with a range of sauces. And while the food is good (really, really good!), the true star of the space is De Zotte’s beer menu, which features well …

It’s Zeezicht’s trademark apple pie, piled with layers of apple, cinnamon and whipped cream. Grab a slice of that, …

In a city with a plethora of Indonesian restaurants, Balti House rises to the top. The service is friendly and the food is amazing, if a bit pricy.

Renato’s Pizzeria
Many things I’ve read say that Amsterdam suffers from a lack of good pizza. If this is true, I found an amazing exception in Renato’s. Renato’s Pizzeria is a tiny little place in the Pijp that makes amazingly authentic Italian pizza, like you’d find in Naples. Try their Caprese Salad – the mozzarella is fresh …

Ijscuypje Ice Cream
In Amsterdam, there is no shortage of ice cream places, especially in the summer months, but none are like Ijscuypje. While many follow traditional Italian recipes, Ijscuypje is the only place that sells traditional Dutch ice cream. Italian ice cream is made with milk, but Ijscuypje’s recipe uses slagroom (full-fat cream). The result is richer, …
