We went back the next night to a closed kitchen as there was not a lot of people. I've worked in the industry for a long time and this is always a killer. Stay open for your hours, when you close early you lose consistency and that leads to poor experience for your patrons. I would recommend this location just make sure you are there early

From the owner: Het Heerenhuis Wijdewormer Als gast voelt u zich welkom in…read more"Café Brasserie Het Heerenhuis". Het markante pand "Het Heerenhuis" te Wijdewormer, dateert uit 1628 en kan terugkijken op een rijke geschiedenis. Haar huidige vorm en indeling is te danken aan een grondige verbouwing begin 2014. Door de eeuwen heen heeft het pand verschillende gedaantes gekend, ooit gebouwd als herenhuis voor de polderheren, maar ook als herberg met paardenstal -voor destijds de reizigers per paard- en later ook als danszaal, hotel, slijterij, restaurant, bruincafé enz.. Ook zou volgens de vele verhalen hier in Het Heerenhuis een zekere Napoleon hebben geslapen... Eten en drinken Als gast bent u 7 dagen per week vanaf 11.00 uur van harte welkom voor lunch, diner, feestje, kopje koffie of gewoon voor een gezellige borrel of een goed glas wijn. De brasserie heeft voldoende zitplaatsen aan tafeltjes en een gezellige aperitief- borrelbar. Als het weer het even toelaat zijn natuurlijk vooral ook de veranda en het terras de plekken waar het goed toeven is. Het Heerenhuis biedt u een prettige laagdrempelige ambiance met vriendelijke bediening en ouderwetse gastvrijheid waar kwaliteit en gezelligheid samen gaan. De menukaart biedt veel variatie, met o.a. producten van leveranciers uit de omgeving waarbij ook de kwaliteit voorop staat. Uiteraard wordt er graag gewerkt met seizoen- en streekproducten...

Cozy restaurant with a patio as well I had the pork satay which was outstanding. Kabobs of pirk on a skewer with a thick satay sauce.

From the owner: Café - Restaurant De Koperen Bel Zaandam Al sinds 1976 is…read more"De Koperen Bel" een klinkende naam in de Zaanstreek.

My friend ordered a chai latte, which was pretty good and again a good light sweetness, and my other friend tried the café Touba (a peppery black coffee), a bit bitter and strong for me but interesting to try. We got a slice of spinach cake with mascarpone and hung out for a while because we wanted to try their pierogis and they don't start serving lunch food until 10:30. Verdict was all the food was fantastic, so I don't think you can go wrong with anything on the menu that sounds good to you. The staff (owners?) really made it a great experience - they all seemed very genuine and kind and made us feel like it would be ok if we wanted to hang out there all day. Will probably drop in for another morning coffee before we leave Amsterdam!

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.
