Last Minutes Amsterdam

Surinam Chinese restaurant in De Pijp, close to Albert Cuyp street market. Is truly a classic: Albina has been there for ages. Cheap, simplest decor possible, no alcohol served. Eat in or take out.

Great stir fries, curries and soups at bargain prices. For a quick and tasty bite to eat. Service is super fast and friendly.

Housed in a former church: cafe restaurant Bazar Amsterdam in Middle-Eastern atmosphere. Serving breakfast, lunch and dinner.

More a snack bar than a restaurant, but good for a quick bite to eat. Try the Soto Ayam (chicken soup) as a starter or main dish. Low prices, and good value for money.

Old fashioned cafe style restaurant on the Nieuwmarkt, famous for its Fondue: dish of melted cheese served in a communal pot. Forget the menu: choose either the Fondue or the steak and salad.

Sauerkraut, meat balls, potato soup, all in the Dutch way. The decor might be over stressing the Dutch aspect of it, yet go there for the traditional Dutch food at attractive prices.

Traditional 'brown' cafe with jazz sessions on Sunday afternoon, lunch on the terrace in summer. Always great and often pleasantly surprising. Daily specials might be sold out early in the evening.

Great Peking duck and other Chinese food, open until late. Service is quick, with a clear intention to have you out in not too long; so it's a good choice if you want some fast, yet excellent food.

Traditional Dutch dishes at reasonable prices! Rabbit leg with sauerkraut, beans with sausage and bacon. And deserts like bitterkoekjespudding! Friendly service.

Old fashioned Dutch cooking in a homely atmosphere. With lots of regulars who have a quick, cheap and tasty dinner.

One of the cheapest places to eat in the Red Light District: Surinam-Chinese-Javanese cuisine. A logical mix if you know a bit about the history of Dutch Colonialism. No nonsense food and service. Try the moksi meti or roti.

Homely cafe style restaurant for plain tasty Dutch cooking. You'll find many locals here on a very regular basis. Fun to be, great to experience the homely atmosphere.

Long time favorite. Dishes are simple, fresh, full of flavour and well priced.

Food Court of the V&D department store. Surprisingly nice snacks, sandwiches and complete dinners. On top of the Public Library, not too far from Central Station. Enjoy the view.

Simple and tasty. Small restaurant run by an Italian family. Usually very crowded.

Best Malaysian food around. For eat in or take out. And be warned: if the menu shows two peppers to indicate that the food is spicy, then you better believe them: it is spicy.

Dead cheap pastas and pizzas. Surprisingly good for that low a price. And staff is very friendly and helpful.

Café serving Dutch and international dishes. Daily specials between 6 and 8 pm. Make sure you get into the Café and not the hotel next door also called Schiller.

All you can eat Japanese. So you may not find the refinement of more exclusive places, but what can you say at these prices. Salads, Suchi, Kushi, Tempura or Teppanyaki.

Well known pancake house, located in a former warehouse. 75 different variations: traditional with syrup, or more daring with salami, cheese and peppers.

Traditional Dutch broodjes (sandwiches) with cheese, warm meat and peanut sauce, croquettes, filet Americain, you name it. Eat in or export (that's what 'take out' is called here). Great for a quick lunch or snack.

Italian Self Service restaurant for pizzas and pastas. It is part of an international chain. The Amsterdam restaurant is located in the Public Library.

Lots of noodles and rice in stir fries and soups. You'll be seated at long tables to enjoy a quick and tasty meal with tender meat and the freshest veggies. Try their fresh juices and shakes while you are there!
