The waiter/bartender…read morespoke English very well with us and was more than happy to make food and drink recommendations. There was no table for our party of 5 but he let us sit at a table that was reserved for someone who wouldn't be there for a bit. Great vibe, music and decor. It felt like a lot of locals hanging out there and everyone was incredibly friendly. Definitely recommend going a little out of your way to visit. We took an Uber from Central Station to Joost and it was about 20€, worth it since it was pouring down rain. This place was recommended to our friend by a brewer!

Enter through what looks like a deserted parking lot then you are almost there. We loved our visit so much that this year coming back to Amsterdam we book lodging in walking distance. We love Roest. It's like a rockabilly beach bar with a hip vibe and no fuss. We went back during the day as well and ordered food, which was also excellent. Go to Roest. Make the journey. You may end up walking a lot to get there but it'll be worth it! Dog friendly during the day at least when the beach side is open.

I mean, how can new buildings win it from the typical old Amsterdam canalhouses? I must admit that it has been done really well. And Blend blends in perfectly when talking about well done. It's the first cafe you'll find from the square. The interior decor is stylish and the terrace beautiful next to the water with it's willow trees hanging over it. Nice location. The first thing that struck me was the extremely nice service. I had a cold, so they advised me to take water with fresh mint, lemon and honey. It was not even on the menu, so it was customised according to my needs. The coffees had options of taking them with soya, goat milk, lactose free. Score 1. The second thing is the food. The food on the menu looked really nice, simple not too many choices but enough and good prices. It also had some delicious bites, pastries and deserts on it. Score 2. The third thing is the wines. The winecard is elaborate and the one I tried was really good! Score 3. The fourth thing... when bringing the drinks, the added some free snack with it! I felt like being in Spain! Score 4 Well done, Blend!

Soft tacos were blue corn shells but flavorless. This place serves tapas-style so you get 3 tiny tacos about the size of the palm of my hand. Service was friendly, menus have no English. Vibe is trendy, noise level on a Friday night after 10 pm--through the roof. If noise doesn't bother you the place is great fun, good for people-watching too. The outside patio of smokers is as big as the interior space of Louie Louie, and it is packed . Big downside is you have to pass through that to enter the restaurant. But this situation is Amstetdam. It is a trendy bar serving better than average snacks, and has good vegetarian choices. Overall I recommend Louie Louie.
