Staring at Jacob

The neighbourhood 'oud west' in Amsterdam has welcomed a new brunchroom. At the crossing of the Staringstraat with the Jacob van Lennepkade, Staring at Jacob has settled down. The owner, also known by G&T's Really Really Nice Place and Fraiche has used his creativity not only for the restaurant's name, the menu is even more interesting. Try a ' Tree Hugger' (quinoa with kale, chickpea and tofu, with yoghurt and granola on the side) or a 'Benny Hill' (poached eggs, english muffin and smoked avocado) together with a mimosa or maybe a screw driver to drink. Sit yourself down at the large wooden tables, or wait in the 'waitingroom' on the wooden tin-up chairs until the lovely English-speaking host comes to lead you to your table. Really really like the place? Then you can even buy one of the wooden chairs for 25 euros, paint it in you style and donate it back to the restaurant and enrich Staring at Jacon with your own style. You might get discovered by one of the arty visitors ;)
