Personal favourites. All in a different range of expensiveness etc.
One of the only nice places in the Red light district/tourist area. It's really hard to find an authentic plac ein this area but this is definately one of them. You'll find great food and locals here.

Go early (around 18h) for dinner. You might have to wait for a table but its a nice dining concept without a fixed menu. It's not expensive and in a typical Amsterdam location.

Bar
Not really bars for partying or cocktails. More of the traditional 'brown cafe's' that Amsterdam used to have a lot of. Just for sitting and talking and drinking. We like the relaxed atmosphere and the great choice of beers in most of these bars.

13- 15 NieuwmarktCafe Gollem

If you're in the city center and looking for a place for a fancy (rather expensive but very nice) drink in a beautiful and historic building.

Very popular brewery which beers are sold almost everywhere in Amsterdam. This brewery with bar itself is opened only until 20h but it's a lovely place to sit and taste beers that are wayyyy better than Heineken ;).
