Café Noorderlicht

Amsterdam Noord


The original Café Noorderlicht was in a boat, which burned down. Safely ensconced in a soaring greenhouse, with grassy waterside lawns outside and a ministage, it now has a pub-garden-meets-festival vibe. There's a big play area outside so it's good for families. Tasty food with lots of veg options, craft beers, cocktails and coffee are all on the menu.
