Amsterdam Reviews
Coba
Make a reservation at Coba in Amsterdam-Noord, which serves some of the only good tacos in Amsterdam.

De Pijp locals flock to this wine, bread, and cheese shop to prep for a picnic or pre-dinner party spread.
Kaasbar
The Dutch are some of the biggest consumers of cheese in the world, and Kaasbar in De Pijp is where you should go to give it all a taste.
