Mata Hari

Located in the red neon heart of Amsterdam’s city centre, Mata Hari is restaurant and bar, and sports a lovely canal-side terrace. Inside the place is stuffed with inviting sofas and has a hip but friendly vibe. They have creative cocktails and a very nice wine list and the atmosphere is sophisticated and stylish, especially when given the surroundings. It’s testament to this that the crowd is an appealing mix of locals as well as a few savvier tourists. In amongst the ‘coffee’ shops and the glinting red windows this place stands out by some way.
