    ***De Balie's MOP (Meal in One Pic)*** http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/de-balie-amsterdam?select=m8pWl5t1bozFWJ9F_YntdQ#TohU3okir2ydxBs0gfdI4A ****************************************** De Balie is a great cafe located nearby the busy Leidseplein Square nearby the Apple Store. It has free wifi, a friendly Cafe atmosphere, magazines, and a selection of simple Tostis (grilled cheese sandwiches) , soups and salads. The food is simple. They serve a lot of Cafe au Lait which is a shot of expresso and tons of milk. The staff is friendly and the food comes fast. It is difficult to find a table for larger groups (more than 2 people) in the bar coffe area. The dining room has more tables. We tried: Tomato Tosti http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/de-balie-amsterdam?select=m8pWl5t1bozFWJ9F_YntdQ#iFWnSo9uGFgjQO3KJLqqEA Cheese, tomato arugula. The bread was good and nicely toasted. Cheese Tosti http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/de-balie-amsterdam?select=m8pWl5t1bozFWJ9F_YntdQ#1KmwVZkI_HTh5hUVdFd8AA Simple grilled cheese. The cheese was flavorful and not too salty. Simple Soup. Nothing special about a simple tomato cream soup. De Balie has long and tall windows bringing a lot of light into the cafe area. It is a nice cafe to grab a quick lunch and a coffee.

    Food does a mind good

    My husband and I were walking around the De Pijp neighbourhood on a Saturday afternoon and was…read morelooking for a quick lunch. We have heard of Donnies, but have never been so thought this was a good opportunity to try it out. Food: Since we were looking for a light lunch we decided to share the large size of the Kapsalon Kip. The Kapsalon Kip has responsibly raised chicken, hot sauce, garlic sauce, lettuce, tomato, cucumber, jalapeños, cheese and wait for it...french fries! It's definitely big enough for two people and SO DELICIOUS! We kept saying "OMG, this is so good". Drinks: We ordered two ice teas and one beer. If you're a beer lover they have craft beers on their menu. Price: €19.35 Service: Service started out pretty slow when we arrived. No one came to us for 10 minutes and I went outside myself to get the menus off the tables there to see what to order. But once they realised we were there and took our order the service picked up. The waitress in the end was nice and friendly. Ambiance: It was pretty quiet on the Saturday afternoon we were there. The space is very nice and well done. Definitely the nicest doner kabab house I've ever been to. Would I go back? ABSOLUTELY! I'm looking forward to trying other things on their menu.

    OH YES!! What a treat :) finally a girl friendly junk food option .. And a very healthy one, so…read moreforget about the junk part. Great flavor, exotic add ons, craft beers and ... very hot waiters :-)) GO GO GO
