Guidebook for Amsterdam
Food Scene
Mappa is one of my favorite Italian restaurants in Amsterdam. It's on a small alley off close to Dam Square, and is small with an intimate vibe. Service is great and all pasta and other dishes are handmade and delicious!

Bakers & Roasters is hands down my favorite brunch spot. It's a Kiwi-run cafe that serves delicious food and drinks (highly recommend the bloody mary and huevos rancheros/ navajo eggs).

Thai Bird has really great... you guessed it! Thai food. I know a lot of people that visit every time their in Amsterdam. The restaurant itself is fine (not slick or fancy interior), but you visit for the food.

You must visit the Seafood Bar (if you can get a reservation-- otherwise they take a lot of walk-ins if you don't mind waiting at the bar). Tons of delicious Seafood options and always full so there's lots of energy/ ambiance.
