If you like Indonesian food, this is great place to pick-up some. The portions are big, and some styles can be spicy, so ask for advice and you should be great! €

This is where we go with the kids for a drink and some horse-play! It's extremely laid back. And located in the Vondelpark and has a nice playground adjacent to it.

Sightseeing
This is our park! 8 minutes walk, inspirator of New York's Central Park.
There's a Picasso artwork to be found in the center. Not many people know this. Apparently Picasso offered it to Amsterdam for free, if they wouldn't ever take it down. Voilá!
The Vondelpark is a public urban park of 47 hectares (120 acres) in Amsterdam, Netherlands. It is part of the borough of Amsterdam-Zuid and situated west from the Leidseplein and the Museumplein.
