Located in Amsterdam Noord, Pllek offers a romantic, urban vibe with cozy private seating for couples. In summer, the outdoor fireplace adds a warm touch. On weekends, the first-floor seats are cleared for a dance floor, letting you end your evening with a dance under the stars. It's a bit outside the city center, but well worth the trip!

Nieuwe Diep Distillery
If you're planning a daytime date, I have the perfect spot! Nieuwe Diep Distillery, located in Flevopark, is a charming little place serving local beers, wine, and the renowned Jenever. With a lovely seating area by the lake, it's a romantic setting, and for those seeking more privacy, there's a cozy garden space. While they don't offer a full dinner menu, they do have some tasty Dutch snacks to enjoy.

The rooftop terrace also offers stunning, romantic views of the city, making it an ideal setting for a memorable evening.
Dr. Strangelove in Lab111
Dr. Strangelove is a charming restaurant housed within the Lab111 cinema building, making it a great spot for a dinner-and-movie date. With its cozy, romantic ambiance, dim lighting, and beautiful decor, it sets the perfect mood. A must-try on their menu are the Neapolitan-style pizzas, which are truly exceptional.
Studio/K
Studio/K is ideal for both a casual coffee date and a romantic dinner. You can enjoy a laid-back time at the bar or on the cozy couches, or opt for a more intimate dinner at their charming, small tables. In addition to being a restaurant and bar, Studio/K is also an arthouse cinema, so if the date goes well, you can catch a movie together. During the summer, their spacious and lovely outdoor terrace is a great spot to relax. I highly recommend dining here as their menu never disappoints.
