Food Scene

Mappa is one of my favorite Italian restaurants in Amsterdam. It's on a small alley off close to Dam Square, and is small with an intimate vibe. Service is great and all pasta and other dishes are handmade and delicious!

Bakers & Roasters is hands down my favorite brunch spot. It's a Kiwi-run cafe that serves delicious food and drinks (highly recommend the bloody mary and huevos rancheros/ navajo eggs).

You must visit the Seafood Bar (if you can get a reservation-- otherwise they take a lot of walk-ins if you don't mind waiting at the bar). Tons of delicious Seafood options and always full so there's lots of energy/ ambiance.

Mr. Porter is a beautiful restaurant in the W Hotel, famous for their steak options (but the salads and veggies are my favorite). Be aware, very expensive and trendy, but great if that's what you're looking for.
