Eetcafé Knabbel en Babbel Europaplein 59, Amsterdam

Unfortunate experience

Great service, Jordy (the owner?) barman is fabulous; charming, friendly, efficient, service oriented.

The prices are reasonable for where it is situated. Lots of customers come from the exhibition centre (Rai) across the road. But there are also loads of locals and regulars enjoying the warmth of Jordy's welcome in the cosy international atmosphere. 

The food looked good. We were drinking wine a light tempranillo and a delicious Malbec which I still find pricey at 4.25 a glass ('luxe' wine according to the menu!) 

Eventually we ordered (hot) chips which were good, especially as we got them with (free) aioli as well as mayo, which we didn't touch. 

A bit later (on our 3rd glass of wine, bought for us by Jordy!) we ordered cheese sticks. They came with a sauce that tasted like cheap ketchup with extra sugar and a smidgen of spice (I thought it was nasty but apparently it's very popular with the locals).

Alas both me and my friend had the runs all night and into the morning, which made our last day working at the Rai hell!

We had a great evening and Jordy is fabulous but not sure if I'll be returning.
