If you’d like to see where locals eat, drink and chat over beer, wine, breakfast food and gourmet sandwiches, then this little slice of history housed in the monumental Beurs van Berlage building is the place to go. Not only can you get a good meal, but you can also admire this legendary example of Amsterdam School architecture and design from the inside with its vaulted ceilings and characteristic tile tableaux by Jan Toorop. The acoustics of the hall makes for a boisterous meal among Amsterdammers, but bear in mind that it’s often difficult to get a seat at lunch, unless you visit the outside terrace in summer.
