Verboden Toegang
This casual, elegant, wood-panelled restaurant doesn't take itself too seriously (the name means 'access forbidden'). The grub's top-notch, with an emphasis on seafood - try the butterfish in white wine.

At the confluence of canals and pedestrian zones, Annie’s has a prime water-level location with dozens of tables on a floating pontoon. This classy cafe is good for a drink or a casual meal.

De Brasserie de Engelenbak
Right in the shadow of the 17th-century octagonal Marekerk, this elegant bistro serves a seasonally changing menu of fresh fare that takes its cues from across the continent. Local organic produce features in many of the dishes. Tables outside enjoy views of the hoi polloi.

Mangerie De Jonge Koekop
Mangerie De Jonge Koekop - always popular, this bistro has fresh and inventive fare. Dine under the stars at outside tables in summer. Look for the sculpted cow’s head on the front, which is as narrow as the first stalk of spring asparagus.

La Cloche
A stalwart of the Pieterskerk district, the years have not dimmed the passion for fine dining at this very inviting Frenchified restaurant. In fact the flowers just seem to get fresher and more numerous. The inside is all elegance: brass and chandeliers.

Brasserie Het Koetshuis
You can sit on the large terrace and ponder the ramparts or huddle inside at a long table in what was once stables. Cafe classics dominate the long and varied menu. It’s a good place just for a drink through the day and evening.

This classy and fine Italian joint, with its luxurious décor (including white-leather couches, no less) and fine service, dishes up upmarket vittles like veal with rolled-in Parma ham and basil pesto.

Restaurant 't Einde
Small and sophisticated, with an excellent menu: exquisite meat, fish, poultry and seafood variations. Not too traditional, not too nouvelle cuisine, the food is mildly progressive and always delicious.

Brasseriefyn
This cute little bistro is right on a canal and has tables outside when the Dutch weather allows. Dishes are sprightly and modern: chicory and ginger add spice and there are good vegie options.
