Don't let this strange food pic distract you - AirBNB automatically uses this one and I can't change it. However, this is not a place to go for dinner but a great café where locals come to enjoy beers and hiphop.

This little street in De Jordaan features several great restaurants, mostly Italian but there's also a ramen joint and a place where you can eat Japanese pancakes (not my favorite though). Have a drink at Cafe Op De Tuin and save some room for ice cream from Monte Pelmo (best ice cream in town).
