Look, that first one data, you have to survive that (for tips click *here*). But if it's fun, there will be a second, a third and yet another round. And somewhere, along the way, you definitely want to impress with your knowledge of the best places Amsterdam. We are happy to give you a helping hand: with these eight Amsterdam restaurants impress your date before the evening has even started (note: be quite sure of your appointment; go to the restaurants below for a nice and long meal).

Cabbage
Before Choux became a reality, the young men behind Choux were the food troubadours of the city: good food for everyone at locations that offered temporary shelter. Original dishes, special wines and, above all, a real evening out without stiff collars, sitting on chairs and especially without the large wallet that is often required for an evening that ticks off the boxes just mentioned. A young, trendy business with a mature, contemporary kitchen, near Central Station. De Ruijterkade 128, Cabbage

Café de Klepel
There is something for everyone at Café de Klepel: always good, always pleasant, in the Prinsenkwartier where there is always something to do and the wine knowledge of the gentlemen and ladies service is phenomenal. A wonderful restaurant to sit back, at the table or at the bar and let the wine and menu show you the way. Prinsenstraat 22, Café de Klepel

Restaurant C
One of the best things about Restaurant C on Wibautstraat in Amsterdam East is the cocktail corner at the front of the restaurant; Far too few Amsterdam restaurants offer their guests comfortable seating for an aperitif, while a good start is really half the battle. This is fine at restaurant C, which also applies to the food: the temperature at which everything is prepared is precision work, resulting in a number of special dishes prepared with often much less special ingredients. A positive point: you know exactly what you are ordering and you are still surprised. Wibautstraat 125, C Amsterdam

Bistro Zuidlande
Unknown means unloved, but that doesn't matter at all for Bistro Zuidlande in the Spaarndammerbuurt. In fact, it even works for the restaurant. There is a good chance that you will be able to get a table here even last minute and during the weekend and there is an equally good chance that your host or lady will be deeply impressed by the gem you have chosen. Truly fantastic food, a cozy, cozy - call it romantic - place and staff who know their Pappenheimers. Nova Zemblastraat 586, Bistro Zuidlande

Lille
Impressive just because you managed to get a reservation in the first place. Kudos! (and: how did you manage that?) Once at the table, Lille is and remains an undisguised favorite in Amsterdam. Simple but perfectly prepared food, delicious wines and a no-bullshit mentality that you have to love. Please note: the staff also celebrates the weekend on Saturdays and Sundays. Marcusstraat 52, Lille

MOS
From a distance you wouldn't know that there is a restaurant hidden under the shiny Palace of Justice, a stone's throw from Central Station. But there is indeed one and one of Amsterdam's finest in fact. The decor of MOS is a kind of Moroccan fairytale, supplemented with modern details. The staff does everything they can to offer you an optimal evening out, an experience, as they call it, and if you join us before six, in addition to the exciting menu, the beautiful setting and the boats passing by, you will be treated to a sunset over the IJ. . IJdok 185, MOS

Kaagman and Kortekaas
Planning to reserve a table at Kaagman en Kortekaas? Good idea, but ask your date what they think of the classic, that hard French cuisine. On the weekly changing menu of Kaagman and Kortekaas, organ meat, duck, home-made pâté and rillette and other 'gnarly' French delicacies are regularly included. If you like it, and your date does too, then you will certainly have a tasty future! Sint Nicolaasstraat 43, Kaagman and Kortekaas

Restaurant Breda
This new restaurant in the heart of Amsterdam actually has only one problem: the reservation policy is starting to take on Lille-esque shapes: during the weekend it is almost never possible to get a table. But hey, they can be forgiven as that is absolutely right: with Restaurant Breda, the people of Amsterdam honor the Burgundian flavor of their home city and add an un-Dutch and star-worthy cuisine in the process. Everything is right there in Breda. Singel 210, Breda Amsterdam (image via un-fold-ed.com)
