Rosalia's Menagerie
20 KloveniersburgwalBest place for a great cocktail and it's just around the corner.
My favourite bar in the neighborhood. They offer a large selection of draft beers and have some decent food too. It has a literary atmosphere and a great terrace outside where mostly locals come.

One of the oldest and most famous chinese restaurants. The interior is very basic but the food is authentic and very tasty. Fried oysters is a special here and a dutch movie was named after them (Oesters van Nam Kee).
