Must Eat Places in Amsterdam, Netherlands

[K2]

Please help. I'm heading to Amsterdam for a few days and want to know about good places to eat. I eat all types of food...italian, middle eastern, indian, spanish, anything that's good I am ready to eat.....I have a massive sweet tooth so if anyone can suggest good dessert places I would greatly appreciate it.

At the risk of sounding a bit unoriginal, you might want to try Ctrl-F searching for "Amsterdam" for some recent posts by myself and others. Meanwhile, here's some quick suggestions by cuisine:

Upscale continental/creative: De Kas, Voorbij het Einde, Balthazar's Keuken

Middle Eastern: Zina (north African), Divan (Turkish)

Indonesian: Tempo Doeloe, Blue Pepper, Sama Sebo

Italian: Sa Seada

African game: Pygma-Lion

Seafood: Eenvistweevis, Le Pecheur

Belgian: Senz, De Brakke Grond

Soup/Salad lunch: Brasserie Joffers

Dessert menu (since you asked): College Hotel, De Witte Uyl, Dining Eleven

Chocolates to go: ArtiChoc

Beer: In 't Arendsnest, De Zotte

Chinese: Don't bother. Everyone talks about the oysters at Nam Kee, and they are pretty good, but nothing special if you've had good Chinese chow in LA, NYC, SF, etc.

Also avoid: Argentine steakhouses, most pancake places, anything on Leidseplein/Rembrandtplein/Damrak, Supperclub, Kantjil en de Tijger, and the food (as opposed to the good bar scenes) at Mansion, Vakzuid, or Strand West
