Julien was lovely from the beginning of our arrival to the service to the whole experience. He made sure to get a table for us, even though it was so busy. He was lovely. He was accommodating. We will definitely be back. The food was great and there was another gentleman with him that it was really lovely as well.

Such a wonderful little find in the middle of Amsterdam. Great vibes, amazing staff and wonderful food and drinks. Ambience: (5/5) There is a wide range of seating both inside and out. I love the outdoor seating right next to the canal and it is perfect for those warm sunny days. The indoor seating is also very cozy. Food and Drinks: (5/5) I find that the selection of food is great here. You can have your typical bar snacks but also a proper meal if you so desire. The quality of the ingredients and flavours are great and the food also arrived quite quickly for us. Staff: (5/5) I have to especially say that Helen was amazing. I have been to this place multiple times and love that they always remember you. Helen waited our table on multiple different visits and have to say the genuine care and concern the staff have is so different to many other places in Amsterdam. Summary: (5/5) One of my favourite places to just visit if I am looking for a coffee or just a quick catch up for drinks with friends in the middle of the city. See you all soon!
