First, I was upset when they seemed to forget my order while I would like to eat before the concert. Then it was time to leave and they brought the food and it was on the house, I had to eat in a rush, but I've enjoyed the food and was pleased by the service in the end.

Super addition to the world of “Melkweg” at the heart of Amsterdam! Concerts, art exhibitions, movies and now great food! A venue with a view & vision! Had a great night of food & music!

Perfect place for a chill and delicious lunch or dinner. The menu has a big variety of fusion kitchen and Dutch taste. Next to the restaurant there is an expo where you can connect with photography full of stories. Don't forget to try the handmade cookies!

Love the concept of mixing exhibitions with coffee. There is always a differen exhibition - so you can be there for a couple of minutes and then grab a nice coffee. I've always found a place to sit and it is very cozy. Near Leidseplein.

Beer was good but we asked if the flowers were real and the waitress said yes. We investigated a little further and saw it was fake. Lies but very nice

After Ichika Nito's concert, we went for a drink at Milk Café. We could sit there comfortably. It was really disappointing that we couldn't exit onto Marnixstraat. We had to take a detour to get to the tram stop. It wouldn't have been much trouble to open the door for the last three guests. I ordered Baileys, and it had to be fetched from somewhere.
