Brown Cafes
These traditional bars are all perfect for a beer, wine or liquors. Enjoy the typical brown cafe atmosphere.
Hoppe -- This is a friendly cafe dating from 1670. A local favorite.
De Engelbewaarder -- This brown cafe also serves food, especially known for its home made french fries and mayonnaise.
Het Molenpad -- This cafe combines an artificially designed old look with the typical brown cafe atmosphere. Its outdoor terrace is very nice during summer. Bar food is served.
Grand cafes
Many modern cafes try to adopt this designation, not all of them succeed. Some of the finest are:
cafe Luxembourg -- A Brasserie-style cafe that's different from most of the city's grand cafes. Less pretentious and more friendly. They serve soup, sandwiches, sate and other dishes.
cafe Americain -- Inside an art nouveau hotel this fantastic art deco dining spot is a treat for the eye. The food has a hard time matching up to the looks, but its a very nice place to see an be seen for breakfast, lunch or dinner.
Trendy cafes
Trendy cafes tend to "be here today, gone tomorrow". Not these ones though.
De Jaren -- The cafe offers terraces with a view on the Amstel river. Very much appreciated in spring and summer. The cafe has a mixed clientele of locals, students and tourists enjoying drinks and continental snacks. Offers wifi internet.
cafe Schiller -- Next to drinks this fashionable cafe offers bar snacks and simple meals. Located at the Rembrandtplein, so lots of alternatives around if this one doesn't meet your needs.
