Café Kale

Casual barLocals' pick

A no-nonsense cafe on the Weteringschans, named after the owner's bald head ('kaal'): a photo of Kojak and a La Dolce Vita poster on the wall, old wooden tables and a chalkboard menu written up every day. It is loved mainly for its big south-facing terrace, where people who work nearby hold their after-work borrel.
