OBA Library - V&D La Place Restaurant with Amsterdam Panorama
The OBA is Amsterdam's Central Public Library which opened in 2007. Level 7 contains a V&D La Place Restaurant which is a great place for an inexpensive meal. It has a south-facing viewing terrace overlooking the whole of Amsterdam - this is one of the better panoramas of the city. It has a large seating area inside as well. |
V&D La Place is a self-service Dutch restaurant chain selling hot and cold foods. You can find salads, sandwiches, soups, pizzas, noodles, meat / fish dishes as well as coffee, tea and cakes. Beer and wine is also available.
Food is fresh and made on-site - the pizzas are recommended...
On the terrace you get sweeping views southwards of the entire city and is a great spot to take some photos. Particularly good views are available of the green Nemo science museum which looks like a ship's hull. Take care when going outside with a tray as the doors are very heavy.
V&D also has a larger La Place restaurant on Rokin / Kalverstraat near Muntplein. If you are a fan of Italian food there is also Vapiano - a cheap pizza / pasta self-service restaurant and terrace on the ground floor just outside the OBA library.
