Where can you go for a pleasant afternoon with the whole family, where everyone can eat well and the children can have a good time? We have listed that for you!

This beautiful café is located in the Hoftuin, behind The Hermitage. It is not noticeable that it is right in the center. In this restaurant you can escape the hustle and bustle by sitting outside on the terrace in the sun, or inside the spacious glass restaurant. There is a spacious children's play area for the children and plenty of space outside to romp around.
Jansz – Reestraat 8, 1016 DN Amsterdam

Kids happy, you happy.
