Shisho€€€
Rembrandtplein 47, 1017 CT

Sounds dodgy – all-you-can-eat sushi – but is fantastic and more ‘central’ than MoJo

Mojo Japanese Kitchen€€
Oosterdokskade 133, 1011 DL

Again sounds dodgy – all-you-can-eat sushi – but is delicious!

Bistro Neuf€€€

Great neighbourhood bar/food place with a garden in the summer but best to book as it can get busy.

Frenzi €€
Zwanenburgwal 232, 1011 JH

Nice little neighbourhood cafe. Good for a bottle of wine at sundown or a meal or a casual brunch at the weekend.

Foodhallen€€
Bellamyplein 51, 1053 AT
http://foodhallen.nl/
Does what it says on the tin, a hall filled with food. Think of a food court but better food and drinks.

Thaise Snackbar Bird€€
Zeedijk 77, 1012 AS

Nice but no reservations and usually a queue – small tiny and a quick dirty meal rather than a casual night out.

Brug 34€€
Utrechtsestraat 19, 1017 VH

Lovely for Sunday Brunch in the summer on the terrace. Nice Gay bar in the evenings.
