Best for Cheap eats - Expert review of Bazar
Church converted in to a colourful Middle Eastern/North African café/restaurant.
Down in the ethnically diverse Pijp, housed in an ex-Christian place of worship, and serving up Arabic and North African cuisine, Bazar is multicultural Amsterdam personified.
Food and drink:
Breakfasts, lunches and dinners are recommended. You could start the day with an Algerian "thousand holes pancake". Lunch could be pide or pita sandwiches; I recently had peynirli tepsi boregi - a delicious large borek pastry filled with feta and mint. Dinner options include couscous, spicy kebabs, stews, and several vegetarian dishes. All the meat served is halal.
Ambience:
The décor is kitsch and fun - a dazzling combination of Moorish wall tiles, lanterns, fairy lights, Arabic posters, and primary coloured wooden tables. When I've visited, most diners have been westerners (tourists and locals).
Service:
Attentive, upbeat.
Location:
On the famous Albert Cuypmarkt (so a great lunchtime option), towards the eastern end.
Price advice:
Good value: you're unlikely to pay more than 10 euros for lunch, and main courses for dinner start at 8.50 euros for the dish of the day.
