Trust me Guys, in Amsterdam you do not have to look for a nice palce to have a coffe, lunch or fancy dinner. You won't have any porblems with exporing the cultural side of the city or night life scene. It is very relaxed and entertainment driven city, so please do not forget what you coming here for:)
