De Kei

A bruin café known for its simple and tasty menus. It's especially recommended to visit their wine tasting sessions. Late in the evening you can have a beer as the place turns into a bar. It is named after de Kei, the 10,435 kg boulder on the square in front of the bar. De Kei was found on the heath between Laren and Hilversum, and was carried here from Scandinavia during the Pleistocene. In 1921, a festive parade was organised when it was moved to its current location.
