Carel's Cafe
Frans Halsstraat 76 (679 48 36). map
- Carel's Cafe has closed
A very popular 'brown' bar in the Pijp, which over the years has become something of a neigborhood institution. The Cafe is a joyous bar which serves plat du jours and main dishes at very reasonable prices. No reservations, so you might have to wait awhile at the bar before they can seat you.
Open 10am-1am (3am weekends)
Kitchen 6pm-10pm.
