"It's easy to miss this spot, wedged between a monstrous concrete parking garage and the Singel canal, unless you notice the strings of colorful outdoor lights hanging on the patio. A young crowd refuels here before going out, especially in the summertime, when everyone's hanging out at picnic tables and taking in the waterfront setting. Waterkant bills itself as a Surinamese restaurant. Indeed, dishes from the former Dutch colony in South America are on the menu, like Surinamese buns filled with salted codfish, snake beans, pickles, and sambal. But you can also expect global favorites, like Chicken Tikka." - Meredith Bethune
