Where to eat?
Indulge in the unique Dutch dining experience during your stay, known as "Dutch Service" for good reason:) However, hunger won't be an issue in our neighborhood, where delightful coffee, food, and snacks await at every turn. That's why we're proud to be a bnb, a b&b that doesn't serve breakfast—our neighbors offer even better options to start your day right!
Breakfast, brunch & lunch
The Dutch nowadays skip breakfast for a coffee or cappuccino (3 for me;) and then lunch with a cheese sandwich. However, we become more and more picky and here are the best options in our street & around the corner:
Extensive: Vlaams Broodhuys is your best option on Elandsgracht 122. At Berenstraat 38 (very closeby in the charming 9 streets) there is a pancake place that is delicious but very small. Have a look whether they can host you. Alternatively there is Pancake Bakery on Prinsengracht 191 on your way to the Noordermarkt*.
Quick: Zuivelhoeve (next door, Elandsgracht 27) is the specialized cheeseshop for a lovely cheese sandwich and the cheese tastery for your evening in your little private garden. We call them the cheese jewelry as it has the best cheeses.
Cheap: To balance your budget you can get sandwiches and salads at the Albert Heijn or Ecomarkt in the Elandsgracht and have a picnic along the canals or in the Vondelpark.
Diner
There are so many options in Amsterdam, let's focus on the closeby places you will love:
Classic Dutch: The classic close by: 't Zwaantje (since '73) plus the one for mothers: Moeders and the "culinairy food museum" De Vijff Vliegen is the chique (more expensive) option.
Stylish & elegant: Baltazars Keuken is the favorite, but do reserve in advance. Right on the corner of our block is Ela Restobar with day and night fantastic cocktails, oysters, hamachi and steak tartare for the beautiful people a delicious setting for the better conversations. Around the corner there is winebar Parry with a lovely menu of snacks.
Vegetarian or vegan: On 100 meter you will find Men Impossible, an impressive ramen place but you will discover the impossibleness when you try to reserve, worth the hassle. Way further but extremely worth the effort -taste wise- is Plantbased Sushi is and not even pricey! After all, all restaurants have vegetarian options.
Streetfood: Either a croquet -or one of the many other options- at all time local favorite snackbar Stoot-je-Hoofd- niet - Elandsgracht 63, no website what is also refreshing for a street food place. In the Kinkerstraat there are many street food options. Or the master in hamburgers (also vegan and vegetarian!) on Elandsgracht 130 Burgermeester. Also no website. Additional, stroll the canals while eating your Wok-to-Walk from the Leidsestraat 96.
