Summary
There exists a perspective that a destination is truly remarkable when it is frequented by locals.
As exclusive as this notion may occasionally come across, it frequently proves to be accurate, and I have found myself adopting this perspective more readily than I may have anticipated.
One such notable establishment is Hannekes Boom, situated in the enchanting city of Amsterdam.
What is it like?
The ambiance here is highly reflective of the relaxed Dutch ethos. It is neither overly formal nor pretentious.
You can visit with friends on a pleasant day and simply unwind over beverages. Should you choose to abstain from alcohol, a selection of teas and coffees offers delightful alternatives.
Additionally, they offer a commendable menu featuring various delicious food options.
It’s ideal for a light and enjoyable lunch.
What are the prices?
In average terms, their prices are reasonable. You will not encounter overly student-priced menu items, nor will you find overly expensive options that would substantially strain your finances during your visit.
Where can it be found?
The establishment’s address is Dijksgracht 4, 1019BS Amsterdam. For more information, please refer to their website. It is pertinent to note that their menus are solely available in Dutch, so assistance from Google Translate may be advantageous.
Random Aside: Have you ever engaged in an email or text conversation with an acquaintance or work colleague fluent in multiple languages and tried to mimic their proficiency using Google Translate?
I’ve attempted this several times, and while it usually yields favorable outcomes, there was an instance where I accidentally expressed my affection for another person instead of my enthusiasm for burgers (Upon reflection, it was that troublesome Dutch word “Lekker” that led me astray – of course, it holds diverse meanings in various contexts).
Seating Options
The prime seating areas within the establishment are undoubtedly those situated near the fireplace.
These spots are invitingly warm and comfortably snug, ensuring that you feel inclined to linger for extended periods.
Photos
As is customary, here are some images from our visit.
It’s worth noting that we arrived right at opening hour, so the venue was somewhat vacant, yet it still gives a fair representation of the ambiance.
