Very good place. Food was delicious, we had this tuna sandwich and it was amazing. Drinks and beer were also very good. The atmosphere outside, in front of the canal, is very good. Service was nice, and the waitress was very very kind. Recommended :)

I enjoyed two beers here. It had perhaps the most peaceful atmosphere I have found in Amsterdam. They have small tables right up against a smaller canal. I didn’t want to leave. Service was attentive and pleasant. If you are looking for a spot to take a coffee or beer break this is a great choice.
