Guidebook for Amsterdam
Food Scene
Good quality, Italian kitchen, delicious pizzas cooked in a traditional pizza oven. My heart goes with the one with truffles.
Cosy & warm atmosphere, not very touristic ; many locals come here to first have a drink or cocktail, then diner.
Minus : the upper floor is quite noisy...

Very pleasant cafe/restaurant on a beautiful, lively and family square. You will be seated under trees, the terrasse is large, most of the time you find a table. Order your drink, maybe food, and if you feel like it, ask one of the waiter for a set of "jeu de Boule" and play. Live Jazz music every Monday.

The place I go the most in the neighborhood. Quiet during the day, perfect corner-street-spot for a cup of tea, tasty lunch menu and you can sit at the window to watch the dwellers passing by. Around 5-6pm, it's getting more busy : time to order beers, wine and typical dutch snacks such as "bitterballen" ...

Sightseeing
The best way to discover Amsterdam without walking or cycling is.... A BOAT !
You can choose a touristic company (the Canal Cruise one has smaller boats, more cosy maybe) or you can rent out your own electric boat and drive the adventure yourself ! (Sloepdelen.nl)
