There is a Michelin star restaurant but we actually like to sit at the bar for their amazing cocktails (best in the city, IMO) and eat at the brasserie. Definitely try their speciality cocktails with their tasty bar snacks

Biking!
The best way to get around is by bike. Few things to note: treat biking like driving a car elsewhere -there is a wrong and right side to bike. You’re in the right direction when going the same way as cars, biking the wrong side will get you dirty looks. Signal turns with your hands. Stick to the right if going slow. The further from the center you are the easier it is to bike (less congested and dedicated bike lanes). And finally - biking looks more hectic than it feels - promise you’ll get the hang of it! :) the closest bike rental spot is no.1 bike rentals on westerstraat
