Chocolate isn't the draw here - it's the sleek vibe, buttery yellow walls and Europop
soundtrack. The candlelit bar makes this place feel like a night out even at noon: curl up
with a cosy blanket on the patio on chilly days and pose with a fashion mag. At night, it's
a scene.

Pilsvogel
The kitchen dispenses small plates (€3.50 to €5.50) to a crowd aged 20-something, but
that's really secondary when you're sitting on De Pijp's most festive corner. A warm
Mediterranean feel reigns at this casual tapas-bar-cum-pub with one of the neighbour-
hood's prime people-watching patios.

Het Paardje
BAR
Single? Get on 'the horse'. On any given night the neighbourhood's hotties head here,
whether fresh from a broken heart or from a football game. Equal-opportunity sexiness
abounds. It's the see and be seen nexus of De Pijp's beautiful people.

Café Krull
BROWN CAFE
This sophisticated cafe always seems to be full of folks reading thick books and having in-
tense conversations next to the enormous windows. A communal table, 10 beers on tap
and smiling bartenders spinning eclectic music make it ooze with effortless charm.
