It's also a restaurant. Best place in town during summer time. It has a huge outside area. In winter time it's also cosy. Good to go for hot chocolate or a nice coffee. It's all made of wood and in front of Nemo (science museum for children). Place is near the water.

Also a restaurant but actually a bar near the water. It has a huge heated terrace. It's under an old parking lot and next to a gas station (Texaco). Very good spot to drink beers on a Friday (or any other day :) ). 10 minute walk from my place. It's in Amsterdam West at the marnixstraat. It's Surinam orientated (food/music). That's an old colony of the Netherlands.

Sightseeing
I love this neighborhood. Its close to the Heineken brewery and not to far away from Museum square. Theres also a very famous food and clothes market called Albert cuijp. Its a little bit expensive because of all the tourists bit still nice to check out. And lots of nice lunch places here around the Gerard Douplein.

This place just opened up and gives you a great great overview of Amsterdam. You have to take the ferry from central station. There are even swings on the roof I've heard. Entry costs like 12 euros. There are combi tickets of 25 euros which include entry of this lookout, a boat drive true the canals of Amsterdam and a ticket to the Heineken brewery. Check out https://www.adamlookout.com/

Go local! Less tourists in this park. There's a farm in the middle (hidden gem!) called Ons genoegen where you can drink great coffee. I love this park. The whole area is industrial, local... there are great coffee and lunch places and the park is beautiful.
