The Clockworker

Another lovely spot where you'd love to spend all day, seven days a week: De Uurwerker. There's a small queue for the terrace in the summer, but it's definitely worth it in the mornings too. After all, there's nothing quite like enjoying a delicious breakfast in a beautiful courtyard, right?
