G&T's Really Really Nice BRUNCH

Tucked away on a sidestreet in the Jordaan, near a lazy corner of the ever-narrow Gloudsebloemstraat, lies the location of Amsterdam's most in-the-moment brunch/cocktail/event/lounge-space the city has seen yet: G&T's Really Really Nice Place. They have the best brunch in all of Amsterdam. Here's how they describe brunch, for those unfamiliar with the urban-ritual:

brunch, noun \ˈbrənch\ a weekend ritual involving the sharing of the first meal of the day with friends after a night of debauchery. Brunch can occur any time after noon and before 5 p.m. on either Saturday or Sunday and serves as a great way to catch up with friends over moderately priced food as well as bloody marys, mimosas or several glasses of champagne. Post-brunch activities often include napping or drunk shopping. "Sunday brunch is like gay church"

The food is a mix of Canadian/American/Dutch/European – the cocktails get a kick from the super-fresh ingredients, the music is just right, and the service spot-on. The friendly atmosphere encourages passing the time and watching the more in-tuned and low-key international/local scene of Amsterdam waltz by. Let's call it an accessible SoHo House, but in Amsterdam. The mojitos, blood-marys, the breakfast burritos, scones, and the ginger tea's are, simply put, some of the best in the city.
