The best restaurants Amsterdam

Here's an address launched as a marketing concept and which, as its name suggests, is dedicated to the mythical Mexican fruit: the avocado! You'll find it in all its forms: pokés, fries, pancakes... The Avocado Show is a veritable phenomenon: 6 restaurants of the brand have opened, even in London and Stuttgart. The reason for this success: original, excellent dishes and colorful locations. Another address, The Avocado Show To Go, offers dishes on the go right in the middle of Leidseplein, a stone's throw from the Rijksmuseum.

This is a very pretty address, ideally located on the Keizersgracht, a stone's throw from the center and Leidseplein. The terrace overlooking the canal is extremely pleasant in summer. Greenwoods offers a varied menu, with many vegan options and interesting breakfast and brunch formulas. The dishes are tasty and hearty, and the staff very pleasant: this is undoubtedly one of Amsterdam's best brunch addresses. The house also has a second address, a little further north on the Singel canal.

Vessel is first and foremost a feast for the eyes, in the heart of a new district to the west of the city, in the city's old port. You may have to search a little, but the reward will be all the greater. The building is a free interpretation of the Amsterdam school style. The menu is inspired by French cuisine, with an interesting choice of meat, fish and vegan dishes. The cuisine is local, healthy and inventive. But it's the decor that will blow you away! A symphony of pastels, wood and trees, all just a stone's throw from the water.

This is a new address that's giving the world of sandwiches a twist in Amsterdam, and that's no mean feat. In a beautiful, often overexcited atmosphere, you choose your sandwich, energetically prepared by a brigade of young Dutch people who look like they've just come from a fashion casting. The ingredients are ultra-fresh and the bread, schiacciata, a kind of focaccia, is very crispy. The sandwiches are prepared before your very eyes with an efficiency rarely seen in the Netherlands. As you can see, Zero Zero is an address not to be missed.

Here's a restaurant that's sure to make your mouth water. With its long, warm, bar-like setting, almost saloon-like, you'll come here to enjoy excellent burgers in a cosy atmosphere. Service is friendly and efficient. We start with dishes to share - mmm, the excellent nachos! then move on to burgers, simple or mixed. Vegans won't be outdone, as the veggie version is excellent. The bread is also excellent. We also tried the Oreo smoothies and the delicious local beers.

Oriole is one of the restaurants of The Grand hotel, on the edge of the red light district. The setting, a former town hall, is majestic. The atmosphere is very green, with a plethora of plants and a superb, inviting garden. The whole is both designer and photogenic. The menu is concise and was recently awarded a Bib gourmand. Produce is seasonal, with an emphasis on vegetables. Great attention is paid to presentation. During his recent state visit, the French president had lunch with Brigitte for her birthday.
