This is one for a special occasion. Located on one of the only parts of a naval training base accessible to the public, and reached by a footbridge, De Scheepskameel is in a beautifully converted building with stunning views over the water towards Central Station. The majority of the ingredients used are local and the wine list only carries German wines, many of which are otherwise unavailable Amsterdam. Reservations are essential, sometimes several weeks in advance. If you can't get a table, try Rijsel - listed below - which is from the same owners.

A former farm from 1702, this rambling, wood-beamed building has been carefully restored and is now a bar, restaurant and beer garden. The walk from my apartment to the restaurant along the Ringdijk canal is lovely too. Open for lunch and dinner, the emphasis is on local ingredients and mainly Dutch/Mediterranean dishes. Reasonable prices and a good atmosphere; reservations for dinner essential.

The best brunch place in Amsterdam. Food is served all day and there's a great backstory too. Dignita is part of the Not For Sale social enterprise model that provides certified training programmes and support to vulnerable people, helping them to reintegrate into the workplace and society. There is a second branch in Amsterdam West, but this location has a fantastic secret garden set back from the canal.

Part of a new retail development, Blend has a large bar area and a terrace overlooking the Ringvaart canal. The prices aren't cheap but the quality is generally high. There's the added quirk that all the food, with the exception of the cheese and meat boards, is served in preserving jars. You can also walk quite some way along the canal in both directions.

A little further from the apartment (10-15 mins walk), but much less well known than Oosterpark, is the small Frankendael Park. At one corner of it is De Kas restaurant. The Pure food market is also held here on the last Sunday of each month. See http://www.puremarkt.nl/locaties_puremarkt.html.
