Best places to visit during a weekend in Amsterdam

If you go to this crazy European city of tulips, beer and weird smelling coffee shops, do not miss to stop by these places.

A delicious breakfast: Pluk Amsterdam

Pluk is a cozy spot for a healthy, tasty and very Instagram friendly breakfast. Choose between sandwiches, bowls, pancakes and juices prepared with love. Pluk also sells a lot of cute interior and lifestyle items. Location: Restraat 19

Lunch in a beautiful greenhouse: Restaurant De Kas

I love, love, love De Kas. This restaurant is one of my favourites in Amsterdam, situated in the beautiful former Amsterdam City Greenery. De Kas daily creates one menu based on the harvest of its own nursery. And they do it with perfection. Location: Kamerlingh Onneslaan 3

Excellent Asian cuisine: Nooch

Nooch is a great place for a tasty lunch, offering a fusion of modern Vietnamese, Chinese, Japanese, Indonesian and Thai cuisine. Try the pancakes with duck and hoisin sauce. Location: Reestraat 11

Indonesian Rijsttafel: MAX

Inspired by Indonesian home cooking and international flavours, MAX is a great place for you and your friends to share a big Rijsttafel. Location: Herenstraat 14I

Dinner before a Friday night out: C Restaurant

The menu at C is focusing on dishes cooked at a certain temperature to show how small variations in temperature can effect both texture and flavor. The food is innovative, the interior impressive and the atmosphere perfect to put you in the right mood for a night out. Location: Wibautstraat 125

Food surprises: Guts & Glory

Guts & Glory offers a surprise menu based on a current chapter. If you like surprises and to be impressed by great food – book a table now! Location: Utrechtsestraat 6

Beer tasting: Brouwerij ‘t IJ

Brouwerij ‘t IJ is a small but quite well known brewery in Amsterdam, located in a former bath house next to the De Gooyer windmill. A great place to sit outside with friends and friendly strangers and enjoy a glass (or four small ones) of beer with both new and familiar flavours. Location: Funenkade 7

Dutch food market: Lindengracht markt

One of Amsterdam’s best food markets, situated in the Jordaan neighborhood. Here you will find fresh fish, great fruit and vegetables, flowers, cheese and Dutch delicates. Open on Saturdays. Location: Lindengracht

Many tulips for few euros: Amsterdam Flower Market

What would a trip to Amsterdam be without visiting the beautiful Bloemenmarkt? Here you can actually buy 50 tulips for 10€. I’m serious. Location: Singel 630-600

And not to forget, pictured above: Try some poffertjes with butter and powdered sugar! Yummy Dutch treat.
