Firma Pekelhaaring
€€
ITALIAN
Full of graphic-designer types having long lunches with wine, this joint offers an arty in-
dustrial vibe with loads of fun and little pretence. Social touches - like the communal table,
strewn with magazines and board games to play over dessert - belie the focused attention
on fresh Italian flavours. Kids will find a small stash of toys to play with.

Mamouche
€€
Mamouche gets serious acclaim for its French-accented North African cuisine: think Mo-
rocco amid minimalism. The sleek design, with exposed flooring, mottled raw plaster walls
and slat-beam ceilings, complements the changing selection of organic, seasonal
tajine
(Moroccan stew) and couscous dishes. It is one of De Pijp's most posh urban spots.

Op de Tuin
€€
MEDITERRANEAN
This is the kind of breezy, informal neighbourhood restaurant where you can while away an
evening snacking on an antipasti platter (let the chef decide on a mix of Mediterranean
standards) or a beautifully prepared three-course meal, and fantasise that you live across
the street. Many of the regulars do.
