Want to spend all day on a terrace in the sun? This is your spot!
Cafe Cook is a cafe/restaurant, situated on a little square behind a busy street. It is one of those spots you only know if you have stayed in one place long enough to stumble upon it. They have a large terrace and every time I sit there (I think I come here a little bit too much), I feel like I am on vacation in France.
They serve lunch, dinner, and finger food. Their Burrata, which is optional all day, is my personal favorite. And my favorite beer on draft is Saison Dupont. The servers are really nice and always make sure you drink enough water in the sun, which makes me feel so well taken care of. The dinner menu of Cafe Cook is nice, although I sometimes find it a bit too complicated. For picky eaters, I would not recommend eating here, but there are many nice restaurants and take-out spots close by. One of my favorites is ‘De indo van de Jan Eef’, an indonesian place which is right around the corner on de Jan Evertsenstraat.
