Breakfast after a visit to the Bloemenmarkt
The Bloemenmarkt is on the Singel. From there, the route via Muntplein leads into Vijzelstraat, where Café Restaurant De Bazel is located at number 30, 1017 HL Amsterdam. The restaurant is a convenient option for breakfast before or after exploring this part of the city.
The restaurant is housed inside the former headquarters of the Nederlandsche Handel-Maatschappij, designed by architect K.P.C. de Bazel in 1926. Today the building serves as Amsterdam's City Archives (Stadsarchief), and the restaurant occupies the grand ground-floor space with its original mosaic floors, stained glass windows, and soaring ceilings. It's the kind of place where breakfast feels like an event.
