Cafe Brix Wolvenstraat 16 (639 03 51).  Laidback bar-restaurant with a starters only menu. DJ's and live jazz on Thursday, Friday and Monday. Perfect for a leisurely evening with good friends. Spirits are sold by the bottle, and they will keep your unfinished bottle for later use. Nice sidewalk terrace during summer. 
Open daily 4-11pm (2-12pm weekend).
[1 review, 10/10] Harkema Nes 67 (428 22 22).  Large
brasserie in a former tobacco warehouse, on a small alley right in the middle
of the old city center. The industrial character of the warehouse, with
the large skylights, has been complemented by an elegant no frills interior
in browns and whites. Adequate French cuisine at affordable prices; worth
a try! Popular so make reservations. 
Open 11am-11pm (1am weekends).
[4 reviews, avg 8/10] Smulewicz Bakkerstraat 12 (620 28 22).  A
small intimate restaurant with a lovely outside terrace, in a surprisingly
quiet corner close to the bustling Rembrandtplein. With a menu carrying
burrito's as well as tandoori chicken Smulewicz serves world cuisine at
moderate prices. Very convenient if you plan to go to one of the surrounding
theaters later on. Reservations recommended.
Kitchen open 5.30pm-11pm. [1 review, 10/10] |
| La Strada Nieuwzijds Voorburgwal 93 (625 02 76).  A
bar-restaurant cleverly built into two adjacent monumental houses. While
retaining the old facades, la Strada sports a modern interior. The restaurant
is very popular with the gay/lesbian community. Varied menu,
reasonable prices.
Open 4pm-1am (3am weekends).Kitchen 5.30pm-10pm. [5 reviews, avg 7/10] Van Puffelen Prinsengracht 375-377 (624 62 70).  On
first sight this seems to be another small 'brown' bar, but once you walk
into the back you step into the largest bar-restaurant in town. Although
enormous, van Puffelen has managed to retain an intimate atmosphere. During
the summer it's possible to sit outside on a barge moored in the canal.
Check the eye-catching ceiling, painted 'Michelangelo-style' with nude women
floating about. 
Open Mon-Thu 3pm-1am, Fri 3pm-3am, Sat noon-3am, Sun noon-1am. Kitchen 6pm-11pm. [2 reviews, avg 7/10]
