Bird is the best thai Restaurant in Holland. The Restaurant is located across the street and this is the take-away location. Because it is so close I recommend to take-away and enjoy this delicious thai food at the apartment.

As you probably noticed you're in the Chinese neighbourhood. Don’t let the awful interior of this restaurant hold you back. Nam Kee serves the best gratinated oysters with black bean sauce in Amsterdam. So good they named a Dutch movie after it in 2002: Oesters van Name Kee.

Drinks & Nightlife
Great view but it can be very crowded.
I won't recommend this bohemian place for it's food but it's great for a beer on a sunny day. On a good day it's packed with people sitting in the grass or on picking tables. It's nice to look at all boats come by.
