Full description

Housed in the Waag, a city gate dating from 1488 and often described as the second oldest building in Amsterdam, this restaurant-café combines a historic setting with a relaxed atmosphere. Candles burn in the old chandeliers each evening, and a terrace faces the Nieuwmarkt square.

Reviewers praise the medieval interior, friendly staff and the backdrop for the Saturday market, though service can be slow at busy times. The menu covers hearty dishes including burgers and Dutch steak.

Booking is recommended, and a visit typically lasts around 75 minutes.

We had a last minute dinner here. It is the second oldest building in Amsterdam and they burn candles in the old chandeliers every night. It’s beautiful inside. We ordered the burger and the Dutch stew with sausage. Both were amazing and our waiter was very helpful as well. Would definitely recommend. My baby don’t…
