Always vibrant around lunch time with a nice mixture of local guests and tourists. French style menu with dishes like sage & butter ravioli, mussels with harissa, and lots of other great produce.

Parks & Nature
The biggest forest of Amsterdam, built after the second world war. Amazing place to go for a quiet walk or enjoy a lovely run. Also very recommended for families with kids (there's a Pancake house!).
