About this place cafe de Jaren

Café de Jaren is a large mainstream grand café on Nieuwe Doelenstraat in central Amsterdam, a few minutes' walk from Muntplein and the Reguliersdwarsstraat gay bars. It isn't a gay venue, just a relaxed, gay-friendly place that locals and visitors both use. Inside you get high ceilings and plenty of tables. The main draw is the terrace over the water on the Amstel side. It serves coffee, lunch, dinner and drinks from 10:00 until 22:00, or 23:00 from Thursday to Saturday. On sunny days the waterside seats go first, so come early. It's a good place to sit for an hour between museums, or to meet up before going out in the evening.

The view is great, the food is average, but the service is very slow.

The backyard has a particularly lovely view, they have self-service and you can pay immediately when you order by phone. We were lucky enough to find a table and went inside. There's usually a queue for the garden. The coffee was delicious.

Visited this place on a weekday for a lunch and was surprised by the quality of the food. We had tomato soup and a piece of bread with hummus and grilled vegetables. The taste was amazing and the service was very quick. From the terrace you can enjoy the view of the canals
