Food Scene

Great atmosphere, favourite to many locals, with a reading table and a lovely terrace on the riverbank. Good for coffee, drinks, or a fairly nice dinner.

Drinks & Nightlife

On the riverbank, extensive terrace, and lots of choice in beers. They also serve (pub)food. The food is decent, not the best town has to offer but location and friendly staff make up for that.

This is the dutch answer to Central Park NY and Hyde Park London. Plenty of lycra, especially mornings and early evenings when boot camps hit the park. Grab a drink at the "Blauwe Theehuis".
