Best of the Rest
Avondverkoop Dolf
In a town which doesn't
quite have the 24/7 American
mentality, this late-night store
can be a Godsend - even if it is
a little pricey. General groceries
and a good range of alchohol.

Jordaan Festival
The “Jordaaners” are fiercely
proud of the accordion-laden
oompah songs unique to this
area. Over one weekend mid-
September, outdoor stages are
set up on this filled-in canal, and
the beer and bellowing flow
freely.

Gambit
A whisky-laced hot chocolate
in one hand, and a bishop in the
other ... when the heavens open,
hole up in this delightful chess
café for a few hours and
checkmate your opponent.

De Koophandel
Unusual for Amsterdam, a
late-night bar, on one of the
prettier, quieter canals in the
Jordaan.

Pancake Bakery
Although unashamedly
touristy, you could do a lot worse
than this restaurant in a former
17th-century warehouse named
“Hope” to sample the local fare.

Paradox
A paradox in itself, this
coffeeshop shows few traces of
serving “the herb . Fresh fruit and
veg shakes, healthy food and a
bright interior make it a perfect
place for breakfast or
lunch.

GO Cantina
Every so often a dining table

space and GO goes gourmet.

Greenwoods
Australian-run,
typically English
tearoom-style café
that serves great
breakfasts and high
teas. Service can be
painfully slow, but
worth the wait.

Small World
Simply the best
quick-stop in town
for sandwiches,
carrot cake and other
delicious offerings.
Eat in at the counter
or take away.
