Set the right tone for the day with an energizing healthy breakfast, lunch or… both! Located in the trendy Amsterdam-Oost area, Beter & Leuk is an artsy café that welcomes you with a vintage upcycled decor and offers you delicious vegan options with ethnic influences. We recommend their tempeh sandwiches and Korean bibimbap bowls!
