SCANDINAVIAN EMBASSY AMSTERDAM

It's all in the name: this (unofficial) Scandinavian embassy is located at the foot of Sarphatipark, a stone's throw from the Albert Cuyp market. Here, you'll find the area's culinary classics in a zen-like setting that's a delight to eat and drink in. Fans of cinnamon will be delighted, as will fans of salmon toast. It's a pleasant address with a fine reputation in the neighborhood and beyond. The coffee is excellent and will refresh you during your breaks between visits. Takeaway available.
