Bennies

Helicopterstraat 28, Amsterdam, Netherlands

Bennies is basically your living room, but with better food and someone else doing the dishes. The vibe stays loose and unpretentious, which is exactly what you want from a spot that serves everything from breakfast to dinner. You can roll in for a proper breakfast or lunch any day of the week, then come back for their weekly specials. Tuesday means a rotating veggie daghap for €13, and Wednesday is pizza night with a weekly special using veggies from Tuinderij de Spoolderberg. Regular dinner runs Thursday through Sunday. Beyond the food, they keep things interesting with live music, pub quizzes, and parties. Check their socials if you want to know what's coming up. The menu is all over the place in the best way: pita's, focaccia's, pasta, steak, and plenty of veggie options. Plus snacks like bitterballen from Oma Bob and hotwings. It's the kind of place where you can grab a casual bite or make an evening of it.
