Restaurants
Many restaurants to be found in Amsterdam. This is my personal top 3 restaurants in Amsterdam.
1. Pont 13
This former ferry is transformed into a very neat restaurant. The food is very fresh. Ask for a table where you can look over the water. Hard to find for tourist, you will be among Amsterdammers with good taste.
What makes Restaurant Pont 13 so special?
Eating fresh food on water on a boat with a very pleasant atmosphere.

2. Quatfass
Instead of the standard ‘precourse – maincourse – desert’ you have the choice of several small dishes you can combine the way you like it. So kind of tapas but the portions are larger than that. About the size of a precourse. I like this because this because it brings more variety in the eating experience. The food is really good. It is not cheap but not extremely expensive either. You can have a look at the menu and prices on their website. They just introduced an english version, how about that.
What makes Quatfass so special?
Easy dining with a lot of variety on your plate. Among Amsterdammers and some famous Dutch people once in a while (if you would recognise them). Route: It is not downtown. Take a taxi or take tram 9 to Diemen/Sniep and get out at stop ‘Pretoriusstraat'.

3. Bickers aan de Werf
You will only find it if you look for it, no way people will find the restaurant by wandering around. It is a cosy place and the service is very good (well, as far as Dutch’ service goes). The main feature here is the food. It is fresh, I love it. Bickers aan de werf is located at the water, which is nice too, but there are no tables at the waterfront.
What makes Bickers so special?
The quality of the food. The service of the owner and staff. The reasonable prices.
