his 1826 pipe dream, and his

but worth a peek just for the art
deco interior. d Rokin 92-6 Map N3
Al's Plaice
Authentic British fish'n'chips,
complete with tabloids and
lashings of tomato ketchup and
brown sauce. d Nieuwendijk 10

Puccini
Enjoy indescribably delicious
home-made soups and imagin-

couch. d Staalstraat 21 Map P5
