STEAKHOUSE
Situated in a building that dates from 1900, this place has been a steakhouse and hang-out
since the 1940s, and the dark and cosy atmosphere has barely changed since then. If you
don't manage to get your own table, you may meet folks from all over at a common table,
eating well-priced steaks with toppings such as onions, mushrooms or bacon, served with
salad and piping-hot
frites
(fries).

Van Dobben
€
Open since the 1940s, the venerable Van Dobben has white-tile walls and white-coated
counter men who specialise in snappy banter. Traditional meaty Dutch fare is its forte: try
the
pekelvlees
(something close to corned beef), or make it a
halfom
(if you're keen on that
being mixed with liver). The
kroketten
are the best in town and compulsory after a late-
night Rembrandtplein booze-up.
