Amsterdam Watertorenplein 6 (682 26 66).   Amsterdam
is a very large restaurant (275 seats), with an extensive and varied menu
at moderate prices, and efficient service by waiters clad in traditional
black and white. The building used to house the pumping station for the
nearby water tower, and a lot of the machinery has been left untouched;
the interior even includes one of the original pumping engines. With high
ceilings, thick walls and the black-and-white color scheme, the decor is
impressive. Amsterdam is extremely 'kids-friendly', so expect a little noise.
Reservations necessary during weekends.
Open 11am-1am (2am weekends).Kitchen 11.30am-11.30pm.  [2 reviews, avg 8/10] |
| Balthazar's
Keuken Elandsgracht 108 (420 21 14).  Excellent
Mediterranean cooking with a touch of the Orient in this popular and lively
place in the middle of the Jordaan. The
small and narrow Balthazar's is dominated by its open kitchen (keuken),
which contributes to the bustling atmosphere. No carte, just one fixed three-course
menu. Reservations recommended.

Bern Nieuwmarkt
9 (622 00 34). A traditional 'brown' bar-restaurant which surprisingly is very popular with a slightly alternative crowd. Famous for its Swiss cheese fondue, a real bargain. Bern has a terrace with a good view of the Nieuwmarkt. No music.
Open 4pm-1am (3am weekends).Kitchen 6pm-11pm. [5 reviews, avg 9/10] |
De Bolhoed Prinsengracht
60 (626 18 03). Amsterdam's most famous vegetarian/vegan restaurant, with a canalside terrace. Caters mainly to the mellow subcultures, but has none of the stuffy atmosphere of the old-style veggie restaurant. 
Open daily noon-10pm (11pm Sat).
[9 reviews, avg 8/10] Burger's Patio  2e
Tuindwarsstraat 12 (623 68 54). A large and very popular Jordaan eaterie, featuring an Italian menu (Burger was the name of the butcher from whom the property was bought). Indeed there's a large patio, with a fountain.
