Guidebook for Amsterdam
Food Scene
You can’t miss De Bakkerswinkel (The Bakery) on the grounds of Amsterdam’s Westergasfabriek (Western Gas Factory). Great place to enjoy a coffee and their delicious homebaked scones, breads or high tea. Go there before or after a walk through the park and bring your kids too. Best time to go is in the morning or afternoon as it's packed during lunch. If the weather is good you can also get take-away and sit outside or in the park.

Michael Wolf, originally from Austria, earned his stripes at Michelin-star restaurants. He creates new, exciting dishes on a daily basis, hence the name Atelier. These dishes have to be as impressive as the location. A beautiful glass building that rests on a 1920 industrial railroad-bridge nearby Amsterdam Central Station. Reserve a table at the window overlooking the IJ river and enjoy a 5- or 15-course dinner with matching wine menu! #oneofmyfavouriterestaurants
