poetry, food and more at LABYRINTH Amsterdam
Do you like cocktails and are you looking for just that little bit more than only drinks! You can find Labyrinth Amsterdam, a cocktail bar, at Amstelveenseweg in Old South. Cocktails and soul food is what you’ll find there. The dishes on the menu are a melting pot of global soul food from America, Caribbean and West Africa, better said food from mother’s International Cuisine.
Tip: order the peanut soup, it’s so good! Just as the curry, spareribs, sweet potato fries and the delicious desserts by the way. Visit this restaurant with an empty stomach, you want to have a bite of everything. The cocktails are really good as well. These are prepared with a lot of love in front of you and served in super cute ‘glass’. If you can’t choose, please tell them what you want to eat, they’ll make a cocktail that matches with your dish. How nice is that?!
you want to visit the POETRY evenings at LABYRINTH AMSTERDAM
This new cafe and restaurant is open till late and they serve good cocktails. But that’s not all!
