I LOVE Pllek Amsterdam on the banks of the IJ in North. It’s such a creative hotspot! Pllek Amsterdam is perfect to meet up with friends for drinks or a easy meal. It’s easy to get to Pllek Amsterdam North, just take the ferry from Amsterdam Central Station to the NDSM wharf and you’re there in 15 minutes. Pllek Amsterdam is made of an old warehouse and shipping containers. Completed with tons of sand, beach chairs and picnic tables it is nice to have a beer in the sun or catch up over coffee. Every Sunday afternoon there’s live music! Also other cool activities like yoga and massages on the beach.

Cafe Panache is big! This restaurant would be at home in neighbourhoods like Shoreditch or Williamsburg. The interior is warm and makes me think of a combination of an urban saloon that is urban chic instead of shabby.
The menu at Cafe Panache consists entirely out of dishes that you can share with everyone at the table. Nowadays that has somewhat become the standard, but therefore not less fun. Daily changing meals and a market menu which is a 3-course meal for only € 30,-. Also famous for Gin&Tonics and cocktails.
