Babel
You don't need to borrow a book to visit this informal cafeteria on the seventh floor of the public library. Order a salad or slice of cake and grab a table near the window or on the summer terrace to enjoy the most spectacular views.
2 Best Restaurants in Oosterdok, Amsterdam
Although this area east of Central Station is rather generic, filled with newly constructed buildings, there are some excellent and varied restaurants. They tend to be a bit hidden, though, so choose a destination before you go, rather than wandering.
Kilimanjaro
This relaxed and friendly restaurant serves dishes from all over the African continent, but focuses on the food of Ethiopia, which is eaten with injera, a spongy type of sourdough bread. The interior is well worn but enlivened by charming touches like zebra-stripe tablecloths and carved animal napkin holders.
