As you can see, Amsterdam is a Multi-cultural city, and most types of cuisine are represented when it comes to dinner. Lunch in the Netherlands is usually far less elaborate, but the available range of hot and cold bread rolls and other types of snacks (Dutch, Indonesian, Surinamese, Vietnamese) is something we tend to miss when we 're abroad...
Note that it is not always possible to pay with credit card in Dutch restaurants. This is usually shown at the door. Some of these restaurants may require booking in advance. More Information about restaurants and cafés can be found at:
