Cat contact is practically guaranteed as you sip a ‘cattucino’ in the company of lots of lovely mogs at Amsterdam’s first ever cat café Thanks to a successful crowdfunding scheme by cat-loving entrepreneur Lenny Popelier, Kattencafe Kopjes now provides a tranquil home for beautiful rescue cats as well as a relaxing environment for a coffee, spot of lunch or cake. Kopjes is a lovely space for humans and felines alike, and leads us to wonder why we’d ever go anywhere else for coffee. There’s a cover charge of euros per person, which goes towards the cats’ care and you can pop into the Wild Whiskers gift shop next door for must-have books, pins, socks and stationery.

Mom's home cooking is always best, but Amsterdam tourists don’t always have the opportunity to share a meal at home with the locals. The next best thing is Moeders, a restaurant in the city centre that serves only the most traditional Dutch dishes. All the favourites are on the menu at this cosy restaurant, which has all the touches of home. Fill your belly with stamppot (mashed potatoes mixed with vegetables, served with meat and gravy) or suddervlees (a slowly braised beef stew). For dessert, treat yourself to poffertjes or a slice of homemade pie. If you’re feeling a bit homesick, bring a photo of your own dear Ma to hang on the restaurant’s wall — mothers are celebrated at Moeders!

Where better to sample Dutch cuisine than right next to the hub of history and culture in Amsterdam? Rijks, the restaurant of the Rijksmuseum, offers a locally-sourced menu that complements a lengthy stroll through the rooms of the museum. Its kitchen upholds the principles of Slow Food, an organisation that promotes regional cuisine, and the Ark of Taste, which encourages the use of local ingredients. Platters highlighting regional fish or meat — gurnard or pigeon, for example — are available, as are artisanal cheeses. Afterwards, head to one of Rijks’ four espresso bars for a coffee with a dash of the Dutch liqueur advocaat.

For over thirty years, Café Loetje has served as a landmark in Amsterdam. Regulars and out-of-towners alike flock there for its homemade fries and juicy steaks, which many have proclaimed to be the best in the Netherlands. Amsterdam now has several branches of Loetje (and even more beyond), so there is plenty of choice for every carnivore.

De Silveren Spiegel (The Silver Mirror) offers traditional Dutch food in the stunning surroundings of a historic building. The building and restaurant’s history stretches back to the 17th century, and De Silveren Spiegel’s elegant rooms, which have been left in their original state where possible, are certainly befitting its fairytale-like name. But the restaurant does not rest on its historical laurels: the food is up to the high standards set by the interior. And in the summer, there is a sunny terrace to boot.
