Despite the Netherlands' colonial history in Suriname and the former Dutch Antilles, Caribbean restaurants in Amsterdam are few and far between. Planet Rose (in West) is probably the best known, followed by Lalla Rookh (in Oost). Eclipsing them both in size and location is Toko MC, which opened in 2010.

I'm not a religious person, which is just as well because I'm guilty of coveting what's on my neighbour's plate almost every time I eat out. This is perhaps why the appropriately named restaurant Envy came up with a tasting menu so that diners can sample each other’s food.

Housed in a former Renault garage, Dauphine is one of the few ‘grand cafes’ in Amsterdam that doesn't feel impersonal. The restaurant and bar is named after the Renault Dauphine, the successor of the 4CV, but that’s as far as the car references go.

Some food just makes you happy, like the food at restaurant Bij Kees (at Kees’). There’s no menu, just a daily three-course meal made up of small dishes from across a number of cuisines. The waitress described it as ‘fusion tapas’, an apt description except that the portion size is more Dutch farmer than Spanish bar fly.

The name reads like a Spanish art-house film, and at first glance its meaning is similarly ambiguous. Venture inside the premises on Amsterdam's Utrechtsestraat, however, and you’ll discover a minimalist juice and chocolate bar where fruit and cocoa go hand in hand.
