Eetcafé Het Waagplein Alkmaar
Alkmaar, Netherlands
The read// why locals go
Eetcafé Het Waagplein stands beside the Waag on Alkmaar's cheese-market square, serving plain Dutch food from breakfast onwards. The eetcafé is the Netherlands' most useful format: a café that feeds you properly, at café prices, without ceremony — here around €13. Its position is unbeatable on a Friday in season, when the cheese carriers work the square in their coloured straw hats and the terrace becomes a grandstand. The rest of the week it reverts to what it really is, a working town café next to a 16th-century weigh house.
