Royaal Belegd

Friesland


‘Fair trade, homemade and good food’ is the holy grail for chefs at this fun corner cafe. Bar seating in front of big windows provides ringside views of Sneek’s iconic Watergate, and creatively stuffed broodjes (sandwiches), served on a choice of various nut and grain breads, make the perfect light lunch. Breakfast and excellent specialist coffee too.
