Haesjes Claes, situated between Dam Square and the Spui, offers an authentic and seamless blend of history and traditional Dutch food. The restaurant, which still has some of the building's original architectural fixtures preserved, creates a warm, inviting environment, complete with beamed ceilings and brick walls. The restaurant is named after Lady Haesje Claes, founder of the "Amsterdam Burgerweeshuis" (orphanage). With several dining rooms and terraces, the restaurant offers suitable seating space and serves an abundance of delicious dishes. They even have a separate gluten free menu, which allows you to taste traditional Dutch specialties.
