In search of nice child friendly places, this one couldn't be missed out on. It is situated on Van…read moreBeuningenplein, with all kinds of fun things to do for younger and older children. Big slides, all kinds of climbing attributes, football field, little skate park. Some days there are toys available as well, like little bikes. Het Paviljoen is situated right on the playground. So, while having lunch or coffee, you can easily overlook the playground and keep an eye on your child. This one was well thought keeping in mind the parents in need of a normal coffee break sometimes. Coffees are nice by the way; real espresso (no machine made or instant). Lunch is very nice: pancakes and tosti's for children, nice breads, soups and salads. The bread with melded goat cheese has two big slices on it and was delicious: yummm. And when all the little ones are in the bed, and the older ones are out, they can enjoy this place as well. The Spanish tapas (did not try them yet), salsa and merengue music, make you feel like you escaped the city and traveled to a far away place. And when the summer is on and you can take place on the roof terrace overlooking Amsterdam West, you will feel lucky to live in Amsterdam!

Saturday, 1pm-ish, yearning for coffee…read more I have to pick up something, but i am stalling. Not sure if I really need coffee, i guess i need an excuse. Coffee is always a good excuse. So here I am, wanting to sit on their big terrace which is unfortunately a bit drizzled on by rain, I will sit inside, window side. I like the place. Looking from the outside in, the place doesn't draw you in though. Once sitting inside it looks nice, styled and clean. Except from the cobweb on the window-sill. Makes me suddenly wonder what bugs are hiding in the fur, stylishly draped over some of the chairs. I'm squeamish for bugs. Luckily easy distracted, so i'm leaning back against it while ordering my cuppa joe. I'm ordering my espresso macchiato, which taste is good but not as scalding hot as i like it to be. And as that was gone in a split second, I'm having a soup, to warm me up (and/or prolong the stalling) It's a chunky tomato soup with bell pepper. I am not a big fan of soup, but a great executed soup i can truly appreciate. So I do. The young staff is friendly but the boy seems nervous. On his "did you enjoy your soup" I have to suppress the need to yell "NO". Not because i dislike him, he seems sweet, but just to see his reaction. I am weird that way. The place oozes tranquility, a perfect place to relax and have a cuppa joe. Too quiet for a Saturday afternoon me thinks. Curious to find out how the atmosphere is during dinner time. Until then! :)

Luckily, Tomaz took reservations, looked great on Yelp, and we were able to snag a table for 10 people. The decor is awesome, they have more pillows than you know what to do with. And of course, we had some great Dutch cuisine. They're known for their mash pots which is basically mashed potatoes with a meat/gravy option. I had a bite of the mashed potatoes and they were rich and buttery. I actually went with the salmon, which was their catch of the day. Super crispy skin, buttery flesh, and so fresh. Absolutely cooked perfectly, and with a side of fingerlings and veggies. It's also super cool that they source most of their table decorations from local businesses!

OMG!!! Wonderful. Now that I have that out of the way, let me start by saying that at first we were…read moreunsure of how our meal was going to be. The restaurant is located in the harbor on an old ferry, converted into a restaurant. I was excited to experience this, but my husband is quite picky so I was unsure of his expectations. We sat inside (they have outdoor seating as well) and the rustic setting, which I thought would be off-putting, was actually very nice. Our servers (we had 1 to start and then 1 to finish) were excellent. They explained the veggie options to us and made a recommendation of the Mushroom Risotto. I had had risotto a couple of times on our cruise we had just taken so I opted for the veggie burger and fries. While we waited for our food, we enjoyed the scenery on the ferry as well as on the waterfront. Such a rustic, romantic feel. Our food arrived fairly quickly which was expected as they were not that busy. My husband took one bite of his food and said, "Wow! This is the best Mushroom Risotto I have ever had. Excellent" I fell on the floor. If you have read any of my post before you know my husband is quite critical of food and has never said anything was the best and never excellent. After I picked myself up I tried my veggie burger. It was fantastic as well and the fries superb. After eating half of my burger and hearing my hubby make noises with each bite, I decided to try is risotto myself and OMG it was amazing. The best!!! Anyway, he wanted to lick the dish when he finished but being in public he declined. I highly recommend Pont 13 for anyone staying in Amsterdam. It will be well worth the drive in from the city center.

If you are staying in one of the larger hotels or in the Centrum, plan a trip over to Potgietersstraat 47 and check this place out. For our second meal I had the Dorado special, two large, tender pieces of fish with deliciously crispy skin on a bed of vegetables, while J had the quiche met prei spinazie talleggio en walnoten, a large, square section of pie that is so thick it looks like a slice of Sicilian-style pizza. We each had some celery-leek soup that was creamy and light and really hit the spot. For our third and final meal we split half orders of the wisselende ravioli van holy ravioli (5 good-sized raviolo in a thick bolognese-type sauce), lamsschouder met rozemarijnjus boer steven (a fantastically tender piece of lamb au jus on more root vegetables), and the pork belly special (a large piece on a bed of root vegetables, mushrooms, and asparagus). Dessert was the lemon tart I had been eyeing for a couple of days. Portions were very generous and plenty of food for the two of us to enjoy all the dishes without feeling stuffed. We were a very happy, satisfied couple when we left. I'm just sorry our stay in Amsterdam wasn't longer. We would definitely work our way through the entire menu and all the specials. Highly recommend!

After seeing many other hotel guests eat french fries in the same area, my (non white) employee was asked to leave. This seemed targeted and aggressive. The hotel refused to apologize, stood their ground that it's ok for some guests to eat in the yard but not others, and they can enforce on whoever they like. The Dylan should be ashamed and are an insult to the location's history of feeding the poor and elderly. Shame on them and shame on the general manager for refusing to even apologize. Seems their empathy is reserved for elderly, white guests. If you are against classism and racism, don't support this business.

Everyone that works at this hotel acknowledges you asks how your day is going and makes sure you have everything you need.
