2 Best Restaurants in De Pijp, Amsterdam

One of Amsterdam's brunch pioneers, this intimate Australian-run eatery has a laid-back vibe and friendly servers. Although you'll inevitably have to wait for a table on weekends (it's walk-in only), the eclectic menu, which includes sweet and savory options, is worth it. Pass the time with one of the tasty brunch cocktails or house-made soda, iced tea, or drinking vinegar. In early 2019, a second outpost, offering all-day dining and small plates by night, opened in West (Bilderdijkstraat 140).

Owned by two young Indian transplants, you won’t find all the old Indian cliches at Miri Mary, but instead, a vegetable-forward menu with on-point spicing, prettily made-up plates, creative cocktails, and a large outdoor patio. Go here for a modern take on Indian cuisine that’s firmly rooted in the traditions of the past.
