De Smoeshaan
In the predominantly old-fashioned space of theatre-café De Smoeshaan near Leidseplein, there's always a buzz. Between, before, and after performances, actors and visitors come to discuss their play or other topics. At the round tables, young and old mingle; it is a place where theatre veterans meet with theatre students. The walls are covered in posters of plays. You can also find good food here, from the fixed menu or one of the daily changing dishes.
Famous coziness
