You are best off picking up a guide if you want a comprehensive list of restaurants in Amsterdam. Iens offers one of the better guides although it is in Dutch. Fast food is easy to find. Places like Febo have 'fast food vending machines' that allow you to get food out of a hole in the wall. Dutch favorites include friet (fries) with mayonnaise, onions, curry ketchup and/or sate (peanut) sauce; loempia's (spring rolls); kaassouffle's (deep-fried breaded cheese); frikandellen (deep-fried sausage); and kroketten (deep-fried breaded meat goo). Eating out in the Netherlands may be problematic for people who wish to avoid cigarette smoke, as very few restaurants offer non-smoking sections. The Dutch eat early, so it is wise to find a restaurant before 21:00, although we have listed a few which are open later. Tipping is optional. Your bill will not be presented until you ask for it. All phone numbers given are within Amsterdam and should be prefaced with '020' within other areas of the Netherlands, or '+31 20' outside of the country.
