RE: AMSTERDAM: Does anyone have some cool & nice restaurants to recommend and maybe a happening Queer bar ?

Links or addresses appreciated-

Thnx

I went to a great restaurant called the Pancake Bakery along one of the canals. We had to wait a while for a table but it was so delicious!

It is pretty close to Anne Frank House (which you should definitely go to.

A reasonably up-to-date guide is http://www.amsterdamhotspots.nl/

My friend tells me de Spijker, at Kerkstraat 4 is a nice place, but whether it's 'happening'... alternatively, De Trut is a good night out on a sunday and very popular:

"...spent the rest of the night/early morning there... We did have a great time ... I met a few really cool people and we all just had a lot of fun."

"The place is still very popular and filled within minutes ...Mixed crowd, loads of young people, male and female, but also up to 40-50..."

I guess the Supperclub (it's a club, so you'll need a reservation to eat) http://www.supperclub.nl/ and De Kas (dine on veggies from the greenhouses surrounding the restaurant) http://www.restaurantdekas.nl are the most hyped, but there are plenty of other options. Head to the quarter called the Jordaan for an authentic Amsterdam experience.

Warmostraat (if I spelled it correctly) has lots of gay bars, & clubs that are not open to women, so I would guess that they are happening.
