De Jaren

A minimal art-deco interior next to Hotel d'Europe and a great view of where all the main canals come together (climb the stairs to the upper floor - the view is better and the crowds surprisingly thinner). Food is middling and on the pricy side, but it's a nice place to sip a cup of coffee or tea and read a newspaper.
