02

The Zeedijk branch of smash-burger brand Le Smash, at Zeedijk 87 in the old city centre. Same tight menu as the others: two smashed dry-aged-beef burgers (Le Classic and Le Special) with vegetarian variants and the brand's signature caramelized crust.

03

A cozy all-vegan bakery and specialty-coffee spot, with its original shop in the Jordaan and a second branch at Bellamyplein in Amsterdam-West near De Hallen. Best known for fully vegan, organic viennoiserie like croissants, pain au chocolat and madeleines.

04

The De Pijp outlet of Le Smash, a fast-growing Dutch smash-burger chain, at Govert Flinckstraat 122-h. The deliberately minimal menu offers just two dry-aged-beef burgers, Le Classic and Le Special (each also meat-free), on crispy Maillard-seared smashed patties.
