You probably won't miss the Albert Cuypmarket anyway, it's there everyday except for Sundays and has great food. Try a herring (yes, raw :)) and stroopwafels.

Definitely get your cheese at this place. It's where the locals go. The owner is very dedicated, and will try a slice of every cheese with you. We don't understand how he's still so skinny! We love the "boeren belegen".

This French restaurant is a little fancy, and delicious! Their menu changes all the time, but it's always great. They are usually booked out quite far in advance, but you can walk in and have dinner at the bar, if you're there around 6:30 pm you'll probably get a spot. Price / quality is very good.

Arts & Culture
You can spend a week in this museum. The architecture as well as the paintings are amazing. A good option to get some background is the guided tour that leaves every hour. In an hour you will see the most famous paintings, and learn about the architecture of the museum. The guide will take you to the well known paintings, but sometimes also to some less known personal favourites. You need to book. https://www.rijksmuseum.nl/en/guided-tours/guided-tour-highlights-of-the-rijksmuseum
