Autumn guide to Amsterdam: chic design hotels and majestic museums

For dinner you could try Buffet van Odette on Prinsengracht, also handily placed for the museums. This is a classy whitewashed restaurant where, unusually for central Amsterdam, most of the voices we could hear were Dutch. A relatively short menu could include ravioli, ricotta and radish at €21.50 or white sea bream for two priced at €46.
