Expert review of La Place
Cheap but appetising food in the café and bakery of a city-centre department store.
It's rare for me to visit Amsterdam and not pop in at some point to the self-service cafeteria of the V&D department store. Why? Well, the food is fresh, inexpensive and very varied, and you can be in and out in super quick time.
Food and drink:
Downstairs, there's a bakery offering excellent ciabatta sandwiches, wedges of quiche and pizza, muffins, brownies, and slices of apple pie - just the place to stock up on a picnic before heading for a canalside bench or the Vondelpark (or you can eat any of this in the café). Upstairs lies an enticing salad bar, home-made yoghurt drinks, and several food stations where you can order grilled meats and stir frys, cooked to order while you wait.
Ambience:
Bustling - but there are quietish corners to take your meal and eat. The eating areas could be kept a bit cleaner.
Service:
Absolutely fine. No table service. Pity you have to pay to use the loo.
Location:
The main entrance is on Kalverstraat, one of the city’s busiest shopping streets, at the Munt Tower end.
Price advice:
Sandwiches cost from 3 euros, hot dishes from around 8-15 euros.
