What’s the vibe?
Dignita is found in the Hoftuin garden, a serene green courtyard surrounded by monumental buildings. The glass-walled restaurant is bright and sunny with a kids’ corner and a casual ambience while the leafy terrace is the perfect place to chill and recharge.
What are the prices like?
Brunch for two runs at about €30 for two (excluding drinks). Slices of cake start at €4.50.
What should I order?
The ‘Chook Norris’ (a katsu sando with avocado, black beans and chipotle mayo) has become Insta-famous for a reason. The desserts are ace too: try the Basque Burnt Cheesecake.
What’s worth visiting nearby?
The H’ART Museum (the former Hermitage Amsterdam) is right next door and a good place to visit one-of-a-kind exhibitions at an internationally renowned art museum. Do also take the time to walk up the adjacent ‘Schaduwkade’ (quay of shadows) on the Nieuwe Keizersgracht to honour the memory of the 200 Jewish Amsterdammers that were abducted from their homes here and killed by the Nazis during World War II, before visiting the striking National Holocaust Names Memorial at the end of the canal.
