A classic Jordaan brown café that also serves proper Dutch-French bistro food — a rarer combination than it sounds. The daily specials chalked on the board are reliably good, and the stamppot in winter is exactly what you want. The atmosphere is authentically old Amsterdam: dark wood, candlelight, locals at the bar. No reservations for the bar area, but worth the wait.
