A wee three-table oasis in the midst of surrounding tourist tat, this fish shop in a tiny alley
serves excellent herring sandwiches on a choice of crusty white or brown rolls. Don't like
fish? Van den Berg's Broodjesbar (similar prices and hours), right next door, prepares a
variety of other sandwiches, from a humble cheese-filled roll to gehakt (thin meatball
slices served warm with killer-hot mustard). (

THAI
Don't tell the Chinese neighbours, but this is some of the best Asian food on the Zeedijk -
the cooks, wedged in a tiny kitchen, don't skimp on lemongrass, fish sauce or chilli. The
resulting curries and basil-laden meat and seafood dishes will knock your socks off.
There's a bit more room to spread out in the (slightly pricier) restaurant across the street at
No 72. (

So what if every tourist and business visitor eats here? Sometimes the herd gets it right.
'The Five Flies' is a classic, spread out over five 17th-century canal houses. Old-wood
dining rooms are full of character, featuring Delft tiles and works by Rembrandt and
Breitner. Some chairs have brass plates for the celebrities who have sat in them. (

CAFE
Run by students for students (flashing your ID gets you one-third off), this friendly cafe-
bar is an excellent place to get fat sandwiches on thick slices of multigrain bread, and
healthy main dishes with chicken, fish or pasta. Bands occasionally perform at night (the
bar stays open to 1am weekdays, and 3am on weekends). (
