In-Depth Information
The popular white-walled 'Daredevil' is stylish enough that even non-veggies may reex-
amine their dining priorities. The menu concentrates on one country each month - say,
Thailand or Italy - plus a rotating array of inventive seasonal, organic dishes. Book ahead
(it takes online reservations, too).

Bazar Amsterdam
€€
Beneath a golden angel in the middle of the Albert Cuypmarkt, this one-time Dutch Re-
formed church has fab-u-lous tile murals and 1001 Arabian lights to complement the
cuisine: from Moroccan to Turkish, Lebanese and Iranian. Fish and chicken dishes please
meat eaters; eggplant and portobello mushroom dishes gratify vegetarians. Come for the
gigantic breakfast spread, or just for a beer and baklava.

BURGERS
This sleek little bistro makes the finest burgers in town, bar none. It uses only organic beef
(or lamb, felafel or fish), in huge portions that would pass as a main dish without a bun.
Then come the toppings: feta, fresh mint, pesto, pancetta and more. You can also get a
killer milkshake, but don't ask for chips or fries.

Café Volle Maan
€€
You can't go wrong for lunch or brunch at this airy, bilevel cafe right on Sarphatipark.
Play a game of Scrabble near the sunny floor-to-ceiling windows while munching on
cheese pancakes, good burgers or homemade soups like sweet potato and thyme. The
apple tart rocks.
