My favorite place for lunch, dinner, drinks and actually for breakfast too. Good food, amazing interior design, affordable and closed to my favorite museum "Micropia". It's close to Artis zoo, about 6 minutes from the house. For dinner in the weekend I would make a reservation.

My favorite music venue. It's used to be a church, has a lot of concerts and dance evenings. Check their program:https://www.paradiso.nl/
Notice: they have another location, in Noord (the north of the city). So if you see "location Noord" You have to take the ferry to the Eye. The ferry leaves behind Central station. It's quick, free and fun!
