Our menu

At our place, it's all about good food in a welcoming atmosphere. We cut our fries fresh, make the chicken satay by hand and prepare the ribs in our own kitchen. On the menu you will find regular favorites, complemented by two daily changing specials. No fuss, just good food.

Our story

Since its founding around 1916, our café has been a place with a story. What started as a liquor store and tasting room has grown into the welcoming brown café you know today. Located in the Jordaan, where neighbors meet for coffee and visitors from all over the city drop in on weekends for food and drinks.
