We mention this restaurant not really for a full meal, but as an excuse to duck into the su-
premely cool Lloyd Hotel, set in the shell of a 1920s brick confection. The sunny restaur-
ant serves snacks all day, and has a great back garden.

CAFE
History buffs, come to feast on this cosy cafe's bizarre past: in the 1920s it was a quarant-
ine house for emigrants staying at the nearby Lloyd Hotel who were shipping off to a new
life in the Americas. Luckily there's nothing institutional about the eclectic food, from sa-
voury and sweet pancakes to veggie tapas.

Top Tip
By Bike
Cycling is one of the best ways to explore the neighbourhood. MacBike's (
www.macbike.nl
) rental shop at Cen-
traal Station is closest. From there it's a 10-minute pedal to the eastern districts.
