– Fantastic food at moderate prices in a relaxed athmosphere. Book in advance!

I visited The Supper Club back in 1998 while it was still quite hip and unknown for the general tourist. Now they have opened several restaurants and have their own web site, but I think it is still worth a visit.

Shopping in the Jordaan area is a special experience of small speciality stores.

I can also recommend the Albert Cuyp Markt, and in this road you will find the beautiful café De Engel.

I was not so impressed by d’Vijff Vlieghen, and can not say that I will recommend it.

Good site with description of different clubs: amsterdamhotspots
