Authentic British fish’n’chips, complete with tabloids and lashings of tomato ketchup and brown sauce.

“The Beer King” in the shadow of the Dam’s Royal Palace has a fantastic range of beers – almost 1,000 of them – from all over the world.

Hypertrendy fashion and interior shop from Germany, selling anything from moose scarves to retro bead curtains.
