ESCRS AMSTERDAM CITY GUIDE 2013
Best of the bars
Nestled in the quiet side street, Vinkenstraat, is Vesper Bar — a glamorous cocktail bar that is ideal for a chic and sophisticated evening. However, if you prefer a more hop-inspired bar then the Beer Temple on Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal could be the Holy Grail.If you are interested in learning more then read our seeingAmsterdam travel guide here or pick one up at booth N07.
Riveting restaurants
Starting close to the exhibition centre is Vis aan de Schelde (Scheldplein), which is a famous seafood restaurant and great for a more formal occasion. Alternatively, if you want to grab a quick bite to eat that is easy on the purse strings yet folksy and atmospheric then maybe La Falote on Roel of Hartstraat is more up your street.Whichever style you prefer there is certainly much to choose from in Amsterdam and you can read more about these restaurants among many more in seeingAmsterdam. » MORE
