Close to the Scheepvaart (maritime) museum, little shop where some of the best restaurants order their smoked fish (or meats). Not many chairs but worth trying the fish platter with a glass of white.

Fancy-ish food in a beautiful setting, which used to be part of the Zoo. Check out their site for the menu. Dinner requires a reservation but lunch is probably flexible enough, it's a large space. After lunch you can walk over to see the flamingos without having to visit the Zoo.

Wide variety of food stalls in a large hall with long tables, great choice, some nice bars and live music in the evenings. Relatively quiet for lunch, gets very busy around dinnertime, especially in the weekends.
