    Opium

    This is a hot new place that will rock your socks off. Its Asian fusion cooking matches the gorgeous minimalist interior; think fans, clean angles and plays of light. Tempura of softshell crab in sweet chilli sauce with spring onion and paprika gives you some idea of what's on offer.

    Deeg

    A charming corner location in the museum quarter is but the first draw at this casual bistro, which has nightly set menus that change regularly. Fresh local produce gets a Mediterranean accent and many items – such as the cheeses – are organic.

    De Artisjok

    As surprising as the pastel colours inside the flower of its namesake artichoke, this bistro has fresh and inventive fare featuring organic ingredients grown locally. It’s on a leafy and quiet stretch of the Nieuwgracht.

    Café Springhaver

    This cafe is a fine place for a drink, snack or meal. It’s a little spot of charm on this sinuous old street away from the bustle. This art deco complex houses intimate cinemas that screen art-house and independent films.

    Oudaen

    Set in a restored 14th-century banquet hall, it has a varied menu of salads, steaks and seafood. Best of all, it brews its own beer, which you can enjoy under the high ceilings or outside on the canal.

    Café le Journal

    This classy grand café sits on a very busy square. Unsurprisingly, then, it's a hive of activity in summer.
