The oldest cinema in the country, and the most beautiful one. A stroll through the building is like time travel to the roaring twenties. Films: a mix between accessible arthouse and blockbusters.

Food Scene
'Asmara' is the best African (Eritrean) restaurant you'll ever find. The decor is nothing special, the chef is never in a hurry, but boy will you love the food. And very cheap too! Real great!

OCHA Thai Restaurant
1 Binnen BantammerstraatBest Thai in town!
A fantastic Ceasar Salad, oisters, steaks, great wines and more. Just a wee bit on the expensive side, but always tasty and fun. If you don't want to eat, just have a coffee. It's great too.

Our favorite restaurant for ten years now. It never gets old. La Vallade is a little piece of France in Amsterdam, with amazing food. Go for the carte blanche 5 courses and be surprised! (Only 32,-)

You can see the flourishing herb garden of our neighbouring Italian restaurant from our roof terrace. And often you can smell their delicious food from our living room. 100% Italian and truly good.

We've never dared ourselves, but apparently one can just enter the super chic entrance of the Amstel Hotel, cross the beautiful lobby and enjoy a great high tea on the terrace at the back.

If you're in the mood for a proper cheese fondue or a great steak, go here. Best place in town for those two things. I actually think it's the only two meals they serve.

Shopping
Every guide book will advice you to shop in the Nine Streets, which is great, but this vintage shop is worth taking a detour for. Around the corner of the Waterloo Square and the Nieuwmarkt.

Concerto
54- 60 UtrechtsestraatGreat recordstore! Best one actually.
Best specialty shop in Amsterdam for cheeses, wines, meats, bread and such. The owner, Erik, is a very friendly and enthusiastic guy. Ask him to recommend you some cheeses, and you'll see him light up

Drinks & Nightlife
A windmill that's a brewery that's a bar. Great place to go and try local beers. You can also take a tour through the brewery, but it might be more fun to just stick to drinking beers.

Everything Else
For some good old clubbing you can just turn the corner and the best club of Amsterdam is right there. They also serve quite good food, all organic, yet a a little bit on the expensive side.
