Cafe Panache Amsterdam: the newest hotspot in West!

Enjoy a leisurely meal and drinks at Cafe Panache!

For hotspots like Cafe Panache in Amsterdam West I would almost go to the other side want to move from the city. It's only just opened, but we've already dined extensively and more than approved the menu of this new restaurant :-). It's almost inevitable. Cafe Panache was opened by, among others, the men who also run it Americano Bar & Kitchen, Carter Bar & Kitchen, Hugo's Bar & Kitchen en Franklin's Bar & Kitchen sitting. And yes, we like to go there too!

There is one difference, though… Cafe Panache is huge! And this hotspot is undoubtedly the boldest of the bunch. This restaurant could easily be in Shoreditch or Williamsburg. And you understand… that makes my heart beat faster.

The interior is warm and reminds me of a cross between an urban saloon and an industrial-style restaurant, but not shabby roadhouse style, but urban chic. A nice touch: the round tables where you can enjoy a meal with friends.

Also nice: the large bar, nice bartenders and the extensive selection of bar bites if you want to eat well but are actually comfortable sitting on your stool.

By the way, did you know that Cafe Panache is located in a former market warehouse in the Ten Katemarkt? The entrance reminds me of St. John's in London. It has a cozy porch where smokers finally don't have to stand in the rain, and where you can linger in the front of the restaurant for after-dinner drinks. And it's highly recommended, because Cafe Panache has the most delicious cocktails in pitchers to share with your friends. A fun evening guaranteed ;-).

Menu x Cafe Panache Amsterdam

It's amazing how these guys manage to surprise us every time with their menu and concept. I'm already a fan of the bar bites at Americano, and Cafe Panache also has a huge selection. I can just picture myself having drinks with friends at the bar, ordering a new bite with every round of cocktails.

The menu at Cafe Panache is perfect for sharing dishes with the whole table. It's become pretty much the norm these days, but that doesn't make it any less enjoyable. As an omnivore, I always want to try as much as possible, and shared dining is perfect for that. My eye was immediately drawn to the Pulpo Haze (not to be confused with Purple Haze, although the sauce does have a purple tinge...) and the veal steak tartare. DELICIOUS!!

Cafe Panache is conveniently located near the Ten Katemarkt, and the menu reflects this. Daily changing dishes and a three-course market menu for just €30.

Dangerously delicious! The espresso martinis that the guys at Cafe Panache are the best at. I already predict I'll be here until closing time drinking this liquid dessert until my teeth hurt the next day ;-). It won't be the first time, after all. I've already got all my girlfriends hooked on this irresistible cocktail!

So, come back soon with friends to try the rest of the menu or for drinks this weekend. As you can see... we're thrilled with this new restaurant in Amsterdam West. See you soon at Cafe Panache?
