Winkel 43 is a legendary stop right on the corner of Westerstraat and Noordermarkt in the Jordaan,…read moreperfectly situated along the Prinsengracht canals and just a short walk from the Anne Frank House. While it functions as a cozy, traditional Dutch brown café, virtually everyone comes here for one main reason: the famous Dutch apple pie (*appeltaart*). It completely lives up to the reputation. Served warm with a massive dollop of fresh whipped cream, it's thick, perfectly spiced, and has an almost cake-like crust that sets it apart. Pairing a slice with a fresh mint tea is pretty much mandatory. Because of its status and location, it's almost always buzzing with people--especially on market days--but the staff manages the perpetual queue remarkably fast. Snagging a table on the outdoor terrace for some people-watching along the canal is hard to beat. Whether you're taking visitors around the neighborhood or just out exploring the Jordaan.

There was a long line and a pretty long wait when we went. The place was fully packed, with both…read moreindoor and outdoor seating. I'd say about 95% of the people were ordering the apple pie, so of course we had to get one to see what the hype was about. The apple pie is pretty unique, it's basically a big chunk of cooked apple topped with a sweet, crumbly cookie like crust. The flavor reminded me of those little brown biscuits you get as airplane snacks... basically Biscoff cookies. lol!!! Overall, you really taste the natural apple flavor along with that Biscoff like cookie flavor. The pie itself isn't very sweet, which I actually liked, but adding some whipped cream definitely brings up the sweetness and makes it even better. The setup is pretty straightforward: get in line, order and pay, pick up your food, then find your own seat. It's definitely a popular spot, so be prepared for the crowd and a bit of a wait.

Our server Tristan was just awesome--so personable, attentive and even gave us a short history lesson about the Netherlands. They have a snack menu you can choose from at any time and also a regular lunch and dinner menu. We ordered the celery and beet soup (delicious!!), bitterballens, lumpia, and nachos. All were very tasty and the prices were very reasonable. They have a full bar and we decided on getting a couple of the local beers.

The interior transported us; it's tasteful, contemporary, yet comfortable and inviting. We immediately felt peaceful. The people who greeted us were both laid back and attentive. The chefs behind the pass were cheerful and I really liked the whole vibe. We ordered the bone marrow, kohlrabi, and pumpkin dishes. The plating and presentation for each dish was creative. Each dish's sauces were so good, we could have licked the plates. They were generous with tap water (which can be rare in the Netherlands) and were laid back about us chilling on the couch after our meal, even gave us a carafe of water to make sure we didn't run out. My friend got a white chocolate chip cookie as we walked out and it was as delicious as the meal. Do not miss coming here if you're in Noord!

But i miss something. Not sure what. I order an espresso macchiato and a slice of banana bread. They serve me a latte macchiato (which was replaced immediately with an espresso macchiato) and a rather boring piece of bread. The bread is grey-ish, i don't bake so maybe this is a good thing. I would not order it again though, i like my banana bread a bit more moist, a little more flavoured and more appealing :) The service is good, very friendly. The woman at the beginning of this review apparently works here as she suddenly appeared behind me and said: "oh good you did come in", but she was right, the coffee is good. Including the cookie that came with it. I might return as the location is brilliant, on a rainy day like today, and a bus not running anytime soon, this is where you wanna sit down and have your coffee, and drink it too ;) Happy Sinning Sunday y'all!
