I really liked this place. Between the ample bench seating, the beautiful views of the water, and…read morethe delicious food, I got a pretty good feeling dining here. The indoor decor is sort of alpha male masculine, with stainless steel, aged wood and leather, but the staff was accommodating and gracious when I came here with my baby and met my friends who also had a baby. I hear that on Saturdays this place is Baby Central. :) But you can still find business guys and glamorous people here as well. But oh my god, the food! The steak was delicious, and thick, and juicy. I have never had a steak that is so thick but was still so easy to cut, and I used to live in Chicago, which tends to have the best steaks in America. The steak fries were also delicious and salty and crispy. Even the vegetables were good. It took me a while to finish everything, but I didn't want to let any of it go to waste. I wanted it in mah belly! They had an interesting drink and wine menu that I never got to try, but I'd like to the next time I come here. I highly recommend coming by to NAP. :)

From the owner: Met NAP is IJburg een ijkpunt rijker. NAP is eten en drinken aan de Krijn Taconiskade 124. Met een…read moreschitterend uitzicht op de jachthaven. En vanaf het voorjaar een groot terras aan het water. NAP is de afkorting voor het Normaal Amsterdams Peil. Dit is de referentiehoogte waaraan hoogtemetingen in Nederland worden gerelateerd. Ongeveer 35.000 peilmerken, zoals bordjes, palen en boutjes in wateren, gebouwen, bruggen en viaducten. En vanaf nu is NAP dus ook de naam voor eten en drinken op IJburg. Bij NAP bent u op ieder moment van de dag van harte welkom. Voor een ontbijt of een kop koffie met een krantje. Voor de lunch. Voor de borrel. Voor een snelle hap of een uitgebreid diner. Voor een feestje... Kortom, NAP is eten en drinken. Het NAP-team heet u van harte welkom!

Bagels & Beans is going to be a surprise for me for a while. Not only their base product is…read moreAmerican (bagels), but also the way you can order them. Lots of choices, which can drive me mad sometimes when I am in a hurry, but which is also fun, because your next bagel will be different for sure! They also seem to be making wicked smoothies, just saw someone leave with one that had "green powder" as main ingredient. Need to try that next time! Teas are good, they have a nice choice of biologic teas. And of course the coffee, which is pretty OK here... it could withstand my litmus test for double espresso: not too much acidity, strong yet soft. All in all, definitely worth visiting (The 4 stars may end up being 5 when I tried more of their offerings!)

A small children's area is towards the back if you have little ones, and there is a diaper changing table in the bathroom if you need it. The wifi is free and open, so no password needed. It's super close to a tram stop (tram 26-only tram on IJBurg) too. If you would like to explore IJburg, it's a nice place to start and get fueled up before walking around.

World's coziest table & bench, but cute. The restaurant itself is petite and homey. The candles were lit and the lighting was dim. Lots of folks were here enjoying themselves. Food was fine. Not terribly inspired, but comforting on a blustery day. The menu is limited for non meat eaters or pescatarians. Drinks were good. Service was friendly. A cute neighborhood cat made a visit. That was a highlight. Overall, this was a good experience.

It is so incredibly cozy inside, and you will want to stay and hang out for hours. The service was great, and they have a very well-curated menu including plenty of vegetarian options.

I wish we lived closer so that we could come all the time! Definitely be sure to make a reservation, as I can see how it could get busy inside, especially on a weekend.

There are not that many tables and I only saw one outlet, so it's not good for sitting and working with your laptop, but it doesn't seem built for that. It really seems to be a place to meet friends for 'koffie en kletzen'. The downstairs area is cozy and makes you feel like you're in a private hideaway. There is a decent amount of outdoor seating as well, even in chilly weather, for those who want to enjoy the great Amsterdam outdoors and tram 10 that passes by a few feet away on the street. The service is friendly, and the coffee is good. I didn't try any of the food because it was all gluten-centric, but it looks good. This isn't as much of a breakfast place as a 'cake and coffee' place, which fits in with the chatting with friends theme. They have artisanal light bulb lighting, mellow music on the speakers, signs with platitudes on the walls, lots of pillows, and candles, what else could you want for getting together with someone and chatting.

There's like x3 plastic chairs inside so you can sit and eat, but its def a take-away place. Our party of 5 ordered lamb curry sandwich (deliciousness!); a chicken curry sandwich (too much spice for me); spicy chicken wings, a sort of dal roti with potato-chicken-peas mixture like a kathi roll (this was delicious, but which there were chicken pieces in here!) and then my fave dish, a sort of savory bread pudding, made with dough and potatoes whose name I cannot remember but was my fave dish. We came here twice - once for dinner and then again for a late brunch, and while I dont think could eat here every day, once a month this would totally hit the spot!
