Dignita is my personal favourite for amaaaazing brunch. It’s a bit further out of the way at 25 mins by public transport bus 15 (address Koninginneweg 218) but well worth it! Try the Salmon Royal, home made crumpets or rose and rhubarb pancakes.

They often have events and live music, and even a cinema to visit! Great for when you can’t choose and want the casual city atmosphere.
