A real 'cheapo' cafe/restaturant. (eetcafe)
Not a big menucard but nice real 'Dutch' food like 'Stamppot' and 'Snert'. The prices: for ± € 15.00 you are really filled up, with 2 or 3 courses and drinks.
A lot of students do eat here daily!
It's an old warehouse in the middle of the 'Jordaan' with a intriguing walldrawing. Nice and friendly staff. |

A real Dutch 'Eetsalon' (sandwich-restaurant). Established in 1945 and it's still the same: the food is still fresh, the staff is still friendly and the audience...! Take

Good food, nice prices, friendly people.
