Il Sogno
This self-titled “Italian concept store” is a good place to stop off for authentic Italian espresso with cannoli, before stocking up on Italian essentials such as pasta, own-brand olive oil, and cantuccini (biscotti).
2 Best Restaurants in Nieuwmarkt, Amsterdam
The Nieuwmarkt square and surrounding area are home to an eclectic mix of upscale eateries at the beating heart of Nieuwmarkt, and student-friendly (read: reasonably priced) hangouts that surround it. The adjoining streets are dotted with the type of venue that lives up to the reputation of Amsterdam as a laid-back, chilled-out European capital. Perfect places to linger over a glass of wine or a pilsje (a little glass of beer), a snack, or a meal.
Soup en Zo
"Soup Etc" bucks Amsterdam's slow-service trend by being particularly speedy as well as health-conscious. At least four soups are available daily, of which most are vegetarian or vegan. The steaming bowls come with chunky slices of whole-grain bread. The menu also offers tempting salads. There are other locations at Nieuwe Spiegelstraat 54, Haarlemmerstraat 87, and Van Baerlestraat 81.
