You’ve probably seen people enjoying coffee and cakes inside the Dutch department store, V&D. This is actually a separate company that is linked with V&D called La Place and it is one of my favorite places to eat. The cafeteria style cafe has sandwiches, soups, desserts, freshly made juices and, of course, coffee, hot chocolate and fresh mint tea. The larger versions of La Place found in big cities, like Maastricht and Amsterdam, have bakeries making cakes, breads, pies, pizzas and more. The bigger stores also have a chocolate/sweets section where you can buy any variety of chocolate, including chocolate letters and sweets like marzipan pigs around St. Nicolaasdag.
If you live in the Netherlands, you’ve probably received coupons for this restaurant in the mail, so take advantage of the deals. You can also download the current set of coupons and print them out for yourself.
La Place has locations all around the Netherlands, which you can search here. You’ll also find small kiosks at many of the train stations. I’ve listed the addresses and opening times of the closest restaurants below.
