1786 tasting-room brown café on the Egelantiersgracht
Reviewed by Mes Prestiges Editorial Team Last reviewed May 2026
One of Amsterdam's most beautiful brown cafés, in a gabled 1642 house at the meeting of the Prinsengracht and Brouwersgracht, with Delft-tiled walls and a canal-side terrace. Famous for its apple pie and the legend of a secret Catholic tunnel beneath the floor. A genuine bruine kroeg, not a themed reproduction.
