An Italian restaurant with a Mediterranean courtyard and a beer café beside the Gevangenpoort, in the centre of Edam: pasta, pizza, meat and fish.

The place
La Galera is the Italian in the centre of Edam, in an alley beside the Gevangenpoort, the old prison gate. It has a dining room, a Mediterranean-style inner courtyard for good days and, next door, a traditional café, with beers and billiards, where you can also have an early dinner. The menu runs from pasta and pizza to meat and fish, with a lunch menu and a dessert menu.
When to go
For dinner after spending the afternoon in the village, or a straightforward family meal: pasta and pizza please everyone. It does not publish hours: book on its website, at least a day ahead, or call.
How to get there
It is two minutes from the Damplein, right in the centre, about ten minutes on foot from the Amsterdam bus stop.

Qué pedir: a pasta in the inner courtyard if the weather is good; for something quick, the café also serves early dinner.
