Food in Amsterdam, Netherlands

Amsterdam provides a huge range of ethnic eating in the city. Jordaan has a wide range of restaurants, centred around Tweede Tuindwarsstraat. These include Mantoe, the city's only Afghan restaurant. Most of the Asian restaurants are to be found around Nieuwmarkt and the little tokos shops fill the air with smells of Eastern spices. Indonesian restaurants are a particular highlight.
