Winkel 43 is a corner café at Noordermarkt 43 in Amsterdam’s Jordaan, best known for serving what locals and food writers widely call the best traditional Dutch apple pie (appeltaart) in the city. A thick slice with whipped cream costs about €5.30, the café takes no reservations, and it is open from early morning until late at night every day of the week.
Winkel 43 B.V. was formally established in 1983, but the café occupies a 17th-century corner building on the Noordermarkt — the Jordaan square that hosts the Monday Lapjesmarkt (fabric market) and the Saturday organic farmers market. That location makes it a staple for market-goers and one of the easiest authentic stops to add to a walk through the Jordaan.
The café sits in a classic Amsterdam corner building (hoekpandje) on the Noordermarkt, in the heart of the Jordaan. The Jordaan began in the 17th century as a working-class district for laborers and immigrants during Amsterdam’s Golden Age, and is now one of the city’s most walkable, photogenic neighborhoods. Winkel 43’s spot on the square puts it steps from the weekly markets and a short walk from the canals — an easy detour while exploring the hidden hofjes of the Jordaan.
Two markets set the rhythm here: the Monday Lapjesmarkt for fabric along the Noordermarkt and Westerstraat, and the Saturday organic farmers market on the square. On market mornings, the terrace is one of the best seats in the Jordaan for a coffee and a slice of pie.
The reason most people come is the apple pie. Winkel 43’s appeltaart is a tall, dense, Dutch-style pie — closer to a spiced apple cake than a thin American pie — and the café sells hundreds of slices a day. A slice costs around €5.30 and is traditionally served warm with a generous spoon of fresh whipped cream (slagroom).
What sets the pie apart:
Reviewers on Tripadvisor, Yelp, and food blogs routinely rank it the best apple pie in Amsterdam, and one of the best Dutch apple pies in the Netherlands. You can also order a whole apple pie to take away — call ahead on 020-6230223 or email [email protected] to arrange it and confirm the current price.
Winkel 43 is a full café, not just a pie counter. Breakfast and lunch are served from 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM, and the lunch and dinner menus change monthly, so seasonal dishes rotate through the year. The food is simple, well-priced, and built for casual meals.
| Menu | What to expect (sample prices) |
|---|---|
| Breakfast | Yoghurt bowl (€6.50), croissant with cheese or ham (€4.50), cheese toastie (€5) |
| Lunch | Club sandwich (€9.50), ossenworst roll with Amsterdam onion (€7), potato-leek soup (€8) |
| Snacks (borrel) | Bitterballen (€8 for 7), cheese sticks (€8.50), Dutch cheeses from Kef (€14) |
| Dinner | Monthly-changing menu; recent dishes include short rib (€23) and cavatelli ragù (€18.50) |
| Drinks | Coffee, tea, beer, wine, and a full bar |
The café has a sunny terrace on the Noordermarkt — one of the better terraces in the Jordaan for a coffee and a slice — plus indoor seating in a traditional Amsterdam house with wooden floors. It stays a relaxed, gezellig spot that Amsterdammers use for casual meetups and weekend breakfasts, not just a stop for visitors.
Winkel 43 does not take reservations — seating is walk-in only, and queues are common on weekends and market days. Here is what to know before you go.
Address: Noordermarkt 43, 1015 NA Amsterdam
The café sits in the Jordaan, an easy walk from several major Amsterdam attractions, including the Anne Frank House and the Prinsengracht canal.
| Mode | Details |
|---|---|
| Walking | 15 minutes from Dam Square; 10 minutes from the Anne Frank House |
| Public transport | Tram 5 to the “Noordermarkt” stop; light rail at Marnixplein; bus at Buiten Oranjestraat |
| Cycling | Several bike-rental shops nearby; bike parking around the Noordermarkt is limited on market days |
| Taxi / rideshare | Drop-off on Westerstraat, then a short walk to the square |
Cycling is the most local way to arrive: bike-rental shops across the city offer daily rentals, and the ride through the Jordaan’s narrow streets is part of the experience.
Winkel 43 holds strong ratings across review platforms, with hundreds of reviews on Tripadvisor and Yelp and a reputation built almost entirely on its apple pie. Common themes from visitor reviews:
