Fond this restaurant through my platinum american express as one of their recommendations. Asked my hotel to book a table for me on either of the two evenings I was in Amsterdam. The hotel tried for hours to get through but said no one answered. I decided to walk round to the hotel to book for myself as it was... More

This is in my view the best area in Amsterdam. Nice eateries, great little bars frequented by locals and visitors but without the hustle and bustle, and unsavoury characters of other neighbourhoods in Amsterdam. Will definitely return.

Quiet,charming and not too far to walk to any/all attractions. We rented an apartment overlooking a small canal with a bar downstairs (our local) which was not noisy at all.

Walked down Jordaan on my last day of my visit to Amsterdam. Nice, quiet neighbourhood amongst canals and has some places to eat and drink. A short from walk from Dam.

If you are going to come and stay in Amsterdam , the Jordaan is the place to stay. It is typical postcard Amsterdam, with the little roads, canals and boats and bicycles everywhere. it is quiet and safe, full of kids going to school and very nice restaurants and bars. I rented an old but charming apartment with my two... More

I understand why this is the most desired neighborhood to live in Amsterdam. It is absolutely delightful! We ate at some of the best cafes during our whole stay in Amsterdam in this area. Must see!

We were lucky enough to stay in The Jordaan, at the wonderful Eelhouse bed and breakfast. It is a delight. Perfect for wandering, lovely individual, quirky shops, great quality restaurants and charming brown cafes. I found a completely different side to Amsterdam in the Jordaan, far from the stag tourist crowds, and the intensity that creates. A great place to... More

Jordaan neighborhood is special. A bit bohemian, vibrant, full of shops, restaurants, and locals going about their daily lives. Walk the narrow streets and soak up the sights, sounds, and smells of a unique Amsterdam neighborhood (and be on guard for bicyclists who have the right-of-way).
