Expect a warm welcome, brown interior and lots of cosiness in the heart of the Jordaan on the corner of the Egelantiersgracht and the Tweede Egelantiersdwarsstraat. As from the sunny terrace you can see the beautiful Wester church. In this cafe you will enjoy typical Dutch drinks and bites. Besides that they serve delicious meals; the menu varies from well-filled sandwiches, burgers and real beef croquettes, and from a nice tender steak to a real Dutch stew - throughout the whole year! You have come to the right place for both lunch and dinner.
