For years the staff at this place on the river has been its biggest stumbling block to success, but the brilliant location, the large terrace and the great view of the IJ still ensures that this organic eatery draws large crowds. The undisputed smash hit of the overpriced menu are the home-smoked oysters which are even better with a dark Struis beer. Although the words 'value-for-money' won't cross our lips anytime soon when speaking of De Pont, there are few better outdoor terraces in Amsterdam-Noord to enjoy a cold beer.
