Apple pie at the Winkel.

You have probably all heard that local food isn't exactly the most exiting part of living in

Amsterdam

.
Well... there is at least one exception... the Apple Piiiiiie.
You'll find it in all restaurant and eet cafe. If there is only one desert on the menu... you already know what it's going be.
Yet, you'll find, the pie often comes from the deep freeze, and the few raisins thrown in are the only distinguishable test.

So where should you go to eat a really really nice apple pie?? Your best bet is definitively the Winkel at the corner of Westerstraat and Noordermarkt.
If you go on Saturday morning you'll meet at the terrace all the coolest and chicest "bobo" people of the Jordaan, taking a little break from their weekly trip to the organic market.

For info, they also make a great mint tea with fresh mint leaves :o) and it was advised to me as a good place for Sunday brunches.
