I had a hankering for a Bloody Mary. I wasn't even sure ifBloody Marys were served in The Netherlands. We stopped in Café Scheltema. We were quickly welcomed by a friendly Dutch gentleman. It turns out he was actually the owner. Once we were seated, I took a quick look at the menu. There were several tempting beverage and entrée options, but no Bloody Mary. I decided on Snert (Dutch split pea soup) and Dutch sausage sandwich. When the owner came to take our orders, I asked if he could make a Bloody Mary. Of course, he replied. After he put our orders in, I saw him put his coat on and leave the café. A few minutes later he returned with a bottle of tomato juice. He had gone to the market just to get tomato juice for my Bloody Mary. Now, how's that for hospitality! The Bloody Mary hit the spot. The Snert was amazing. In addition to split pea, it contained chicken, sausage, and chunky vegetables. The Dutch sausage sandwich was on fresh bread. It was tasty. Cafe Scheltema was such a good experience. There's even a nice cat, Antonio, that lives in the café.

So good I stopped by twice on a 3 day trip to the city…read more I stopped by on my first visit craving a big, hearty sandwich for a late lunch and thought this might be a good find. 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.

Friendly service, great food, comfortable and cozy atmosphere. Add to this, it is located very…read moreclose to our hotel and convenient tram stops. We ate there three separate times on our week long vacation.
