This popular space underwent a huge renovation in 2010 and today it’s difficult to categorise. It’s a café, a cocktail lounge, a reading room, a bar and a proper restaurant all in one. You can enjoy fresh oysters on the terrace overlooking the Amstel, sip an espresso inside while surfing the net or order tasty international cuisine in the evening with friends. The incredible interior of high vaulted ceilings, stained glass, hardwood floors and huge windows is impressive and the selection of local Amsterdam brews in bottles by 't IJ and De Prael keeps us coming back for more.
