The place

Schlemmer is the time-honoured café-restaurant on the Lange Houtstraat, a couple of steps from the Plein and the theatres. It opens at 11:00 and serves à la carte lunch and dinner seven days a week, with a three-course menu where you can always choose meat, fish or vegetarian, and specials that change every month. It has a garden for sunny days and a high tea for winter afternoons. In the evening it fills with the theatre crowd, who dine from a menu designed to get them to the show on time.
