Amsterdam's most beautiful café — a grand two-floor 1980s institution on the Amstel with a terrace that stretches across the water. Lunch, dinner, and Dutch café culture at its most civilised: uitsmijters (open sandwiches), bitterballen, and apple pie. The light-filled interior and river views make it as popular with locals as with visitors. The essential Amsterdam daytime experience.
