 Modern Irish Flair |
Max Euweplein 73 Amsterdam, NH 1071 Netherlands +31 20 422 2897 http://www.aranpub.com/ |
For a laid-back bar atmosphere in the heart of Amsterdam, check out Aran Pub, one of the newer additions to the city's Irish pub scene. You can enjoy nice weather outside on the terrace overlooking Vondelpark, or step indoors and chat with the bartender over a pint of Guinness. The expansive space and outdoor seating allow for large numbers of diners, making this a great place to meet and greet with fellow patrons. In addition to the variety of drinks available, the pub also serves a range of dishes, such as soups, fish n' chips, sandwiches, omelettes, and much more. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Eat, Drink and be Merry |
12 Egelantiersgracht Amsterdam, NH 1015 Netherlands +31 20 344 4560 |
This charming cafe in the De Jordaan district offers a wide range of drinks and food in a comfortable setting. The interior is dark and roomy (by Amsterdam's standards), with several tables and bar stools arranged on a checkered floor. There is also space on a floating platform outside that is ideal during nice weather. In addition to the wide selection of beers, wines, coffees, and teas, the cafe has a full menu of snacks. You can choose from soups, salads, sandwiches, or tapas-style plates to go with your drink. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Pretty Tasty |
Ferdinand Bolstraat 10 Amsterdam 1072 LJ Netherlands +31 20 7764600 http://www.detaart.com/ |
This place is famous for incredible-looking cakes that taste heavenly. With two highly creative men behind the concept, some cakes look like they belong in a museum. And they do! Several museums in the Netherlands have exhibited these pastry-wonders that seem to come straight from the Madhatter's Tea Party. You can visit the beautiful patisserie in trendy neighborhood De Pijp and enjoy one of the numerous tastees. The interior suits the servings: everything is colorful, kitsch, retro and there is lots and lots of pink. This place is sweet and a must-visit for anyone who would like to enjoy a sugar-high in Amsterdam. -Sandy Hayes Review © 2007, Wcities |

Focus on food |
Johannes Vermeerstraat 52 Amsterdam 1071 DM Netherlands +31 (0)20 662 8173 |
Loetje, a favorite of the locals, offers steak, fillet and fries. Try the popular Sate, based in peanut sauce. Service doesn't get any points and definitely needs to be upgraded. Food served is however delicious and reasonably priced. The atmosphere is casual and you can take your kids and pets too. The al fresco seating is ideal during the summers. And you may even dine alone here because this is one venue where you can expect nothing more than just tasty food. Review © 2007, Wcities |

When Hungry in the Vondelpark |
Vondelpark 2 Amsterdam, NH 1071 AA Netherlands +31 20 612 9674 http://www.groot-melkhuis.nl/ |
Head over to het Groot Melkhuis (Big Milkhouse) for some tasty food and café fare. There is plenty of beer on-hand as well. Kids can do crafts from 2-4 for 4€ or hang out at the nearby playground. Check the website for open hours, but expect them to be rockin' from 10 am on in the summer. Review © 2007, Wcities |
