 Bagels, juice and coffee |
Ferdinand Bolstraat 70 Amsterdam 1072 LM Netherlands +31 (0)20 672 1610 http://www.bagelsbeans.nl/fr/m... |
In America, the bagel is already a huge success—and now it's also becoming very popular in Holland. At the top of the Albert Cuyp market you'll find Bagels & Beans. Here you can enjoy some delicious bagels for both breakfast and lunch. Many different varieties are on the menu, such as the standard bagel with cream cheese, or with Scottish smoked salmon. Complement your bagel with a blended fruit drink or a bracing cappuccino. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Charming Pub |

This charming pub and cafe offers a little more room than many of its fellow establishments, though in Amsterdam that doesn't guarantee more than a few tables inside. The menu of beers offers some of the classic favorites, while still saving room for a few harder-to-find choices.

Rock on!! |
Nieuwe Doelenstraat 20-22 Amsterdam 1012 CP Netherlands +31 (0)20 625 5771 http://www.cafe-de-jaren.nl |
The chic interiors boast of mirrored walls and yes that is an advantage—it gives you a clear picture of your cute neighbor seated behind. High ceilings, brick red walls and drinks stacked right up give Jaren an ultra chic look. Try the Moroccan broodjes or select from the scrumptious salads from the salad bar. Do go for the Salade de Crabe—a much recommended salad of this cafe. Review © 2007, Wcities |
