Amsterdam Restaurants

  1. Bojo

    After a night on the town, there's nothing like a little Indonesian. Bojo is a late-night institution. Clubbers come for sizzling satays, filling fried rice and steaming bowls of noodle soup. The quality may be uneven, but the food is certainly well priced.

  2. Cambodja City

    The owner's welcome is warm and friendly, and the flavours are from across Southeast Asia - loempias (spring rolls), Vietnamese noodle soups, Thai curries etc. Set menus also reflect the different traditions, and there are fab displays of takeaway foods in case you don't feel like eating in.

  3. Cilubang

    In the Negen Straatjes, cute, cosy and slightly romantic celadon-hued Cilubang soothes the stomach and soul with rijsttafel and attentive, personal service. They've been at it for two-and-a-half decades. The food is west Javanese style, and with any luck you'll hear gamelan music too.

  4. Krua Thai

    Top-shelf soups, duck or shrimp curries, and noodle dishes are the order of the day at this sophisticated restaurant with bright art. Note: some locals refer to it by its old name, Tom Yam. A pre-theatre menu is available.

  5. Rakang Thai

    Chairs wrapped in straitjackets, bright art on the walls, neckties in the tables (it makes sense when you see it), a mai pen rai (no problem) atmosphere and delicious cooking (go for the almost buttery tom kha gai soup or crunchy, spicy duck salad) keep it busy here night after night.

  6. Take Thai

    This modern, all-white restaurant plates up some of the best Thai food in the city. Choose from a variety of curries spiced according to your palate. The Penang beef curry is a winner, as is the fish fried in lemongrass and Thai basil.

  7. Thai Corner

    Don't dismiss this cute little place: it does seriously authentic Thai. Locals and restaurant critics swoon over squid with garlic pepper and tofu with Thai basil, and stare agog at the over-the-top, carved wooden bar at the back of the room. Other restaurants could afford to take lessons from the self-effacing service.
