Not sure what else is on the menu as we just ordered apple pie with whipped cream. A single slice is plenty for two people.

They make about 140 apple pies per day, so you would think that their apple pies are to die for. I thought they were good, but not spectacular (1 star off). I have had Dutch apple pie in other cafes in the area that are just as good. Service was poor. Servers were inattentive and unfriendly (1 star off). It took us awhile to get our apple pie slices, despite how many pies they make. Our server never checked on us.

Happy to report I was very right. I grabbed one of the many outside seats, took a look at the menu that was entirely in Dutch and waited for the wonderful waitress to quickly translate nearly every item for me. I landed on the chicken club and it hit the spot. I arrived hungry but could still only manage to finish half. Chicken was grilled perfectly into thin slices, soft boiled egg was a new touch that I loved, avocado, lettuce and probably a few other things I am forgetting. Oh, and a handful of crisps on the side. On my next visit, it was my last night in Amsterdam and I still haven't tried the infamous fries. I stopped in around 9:30 for a late night snack and a hot ginger tea. The fries were the perfect fries! Thin, crispy, salty. I loved. I also can get behind the mayo thing they do here, even though I really am a ketchup loyalist. Anyway, lunch or dinner or late night snack, this is a good spot. You'll like the foot and you'll love sitting outside people watching, reading your book, whatever.

We had an early departure and so didn't want a heavy meal. Our hotel staff recommend pizza here. We ordered a pizza with chicken, spinach, sweet peppers and olives on it, and a margherita pizza. While waiting for the pizzas, we had to try the espresso martinis. These were top notch! I'd count amongst the best martinis I've had. When the pizzas came, we were blown away. We had asked the size and were told a usual individual pizza, so we were expecting dinner plate size. These were AT LEAST twice that. We so wished we had only ordered one and shared. The crust was thin, cracker-like and we liked that very much. Among our best meals. I missed the photo as we were too ready to dig in! The restaurant was very lively, lots of festive music and plenty of people watching available. The restaurant didn't come up on any of our online suggestions while traveling, but if you are ever in the area, don't hesitate. Do be careful, because short walk in Europe is quite different from an American short walk. The walk was about 15-20 minutes from our hotel. The air was brisk, and part of the walk is along the water... so to our American friends... just bundle up and go for it! The walk and the evening was a delight!
