One of the best Indonesian restaurants for a fair price. The next door Tempo Doeloe is a bit more upmarket and needs to be reserved. It has the same owner though.

This film museum looks like a UFO from space. Great for re-discovering classic movies on a rainy day or just to enjoy your coffee and watch the ships go by.

My favorite brown café in the Jordaan: nice for reading the morning papers with a cup of coffee and their excellent apple pie in an over a century old brown interior.

Arts & Culture
Don't waste time waiting in line for the Anne Frank House. This museum offers a broader perspective on the resistance in The Netherlands during the Nazi occupation. Good to combine with the Hollandse Schouwburg memorial and the Portuguese Synagogue around the corner.
