Eating and Drinking: El Toro Doro
  • Tip Rating:
  • A rip off restuarant right on Damrak that entices people in the door. Beware! It is real bad, the food, the service, and even the prices. Don't go there!!

    Alternative: Close by is Rancho, much better value with good service and food.

    Coffee Shops: Bulldog Coffeeshops
  • Tip Rating:
  • All Bulldog Coffeeshops are a ripoff on weed. Don't go there to buy weed/hash or to hang out unless you are into the college crowd scene. Mainly young people tend to frequent the place or unsuspecting tourists who does not know any better!

    At Least Do This: This place sells high priced weed that is not cured properly and the staff are rude to deal with. The one directly out from Central Station is the worst, avoid at all costs!
    Alternative: Go right down the street to the De Kuil and get great, perfectly cured weed at resonable prices. The staff are terrific, friendly ,and helpful.
