The best places to be in Amsterdam are the neighborhood bars outside the center. "De Lachende Gulden" -The Laughing Florin- is home to lots of retailers and many neighborhood folks of the famous "Dappermarkt" street market. Coffee, beer etc. and food are good and absolutely very affordable. The place is as clean as a Dutch household can be and that's very clean. Camera: Moto G5s Plus by Lenovo

As tourists, we were strolling around looking for a place to eat and happened to stop here—and we’re so glad we did! The menu is available in both Dutch and English, which made ordering super easy. The lady taking orders was really kind and took extra care in suggesting what to eat, which we really appreciated. The interiors are beautifully artistic, and while it’s not a big seating space, it feels nice and cozy. The food was great, and we also had coffee and fresh orange juice—both were perfect. Loved the whole experience! Would definitely recommend stopping by.
