De Blauwe Hollander
A small but very central restaurant serving only Dutch dishes. The tasty meatballs are highly recommended, as is the stamppot, a meat stew with potatoes eaten by farmers during cold Dutch winters. Vegetarian meals are few and far between. Bad acoustics, so don't come here if you want a quiet conversation. Price range: From €12
Opening times:
Kitchen open 5 pm - 10 pm
Leidsekruisstraat 280

The Pancake Bakery
A very popular restaurant a few minutes walk from the Anne Frank House on one of the prettiest central canals. The range of pancakes is wider than anywhere else in the city, so you don't have to be stuck between the two ''traditional'' choices: cheese or ham. There are imaginative vegetarian fillings, such as pine nuts with goats cheese and a Norwegian version with smoked salmon and crème fraiche. The pancakes are cooked in an open kitchen, which makes it entertaining for children, but there may be a long wait, as the place stays busy throughout the day. Their cream and liqueur soaked sweet pancakes are a meal in themselves, so don't overdo it on the first course. Prices from €10.
Latei
An unusual daytime café, which has the added attraction of having lots of things for sale, in fact everything you can see around you can be bought: the tables and chairs, oddities from the fifties, the artwork and particularly the homemade food. There is a retro feel to the place, and it is a pleasant place to have breakfast, a mid-morning drink or a simple, home-made lunch.
Opening times:
Mon - Fr 8 am - 5 pm, Sat 9 am - 6 pm, Sun 11 am - 6 pm
Zeedijk 143

FEBO
Buying hot snacks from plastic heated containers, so you don''t even have to speak to another human being to fill that hunger gap. Rather predictable, but hot greasy food late at night and don't want to go into a restaurant, this is the ideal place to stop by and pick up something without having to wait around.Nothing costs more than €3 and most of the beef or pork croquettes are just €1. Vegetarians can try the cheese soufflé, but don't expect to get something that has been slowly rising in an oven. Branches all over the city, from Ferdinand Bolstraat to Leidestraat.
Opening times:
Mo - Fr 10.30 am - 1 pm, Sat / Sun until 2 am
