Strand Seafood House
Strand, Dutch for beach, offers only the freshest fish and seafood in an open-air setting just steps from the sandy shore.
Kanaal Café & Wine Bar
Reminiscent of the numerous cafes that line the canals of Amsterdam, Kaanal Cafe serves up premium coffee, along with pastries, desserts and made-to-order Dutch sweets like Stroopwafels and Puffertjes. Adding savory temptation to sweet, Kanaal Cafe also doubles as a wine and cheese bar, offering a range of delicious Dutch cheeses paired with premier wines by the bottle or by the glass.
Aolos
Named for the ancient Greek Keeper of the Winds, Aolos' open-air design captures the gentle breezes that converge on its seaside setting, creating the perfect backdrop for an authentic Mediterranean dining experience.
Gatsu Gatsu
The Japanese term gatsu gatsu loosely translates into the act of devouring food quickly. Skillfully prepared using only the freshest and most delectable fish and seafood, the exotic sushi creations made to order at Gatsu Gatsu surely won't linger on the plate.
Pietra
A fitting complement to its menu of traditional Southern Italian pastas, the centerpiece of this expansive Italian eatery is its open exhibition stone pizza oven, serving up made-to-order Neapolitan style pizzas by day and delicious artisan breads by night.
Vincent
At Vincent-an homage to the famous Dutch painter, Vincent van Gogh-every dish is a vibrant culinary artwork of modern European fusion presented on a sleek, minimalist canvas.
