Bar Botanique
Amsterdam, Netherlands
Tucked on the corner of Eerste Van Swindenstraat, this beguiling neighbourhood spot offers an unbeatable breakfast. Order flaky croissants and eggs any style, or, if you're in need of proper fuel, the full continental. In between bites, take stock of your pistachio- and emerald-hued surrounds, noting the taxidermy stork guarding the bar's top-shelf stock (and making a mental note to return later in the day for a tipple or two).
