Belgica

Yeay, a new Belgian beer pub in Amsterdam. It's called Belgica (not to be confused with Belgique) and is just a 1 minute walk away from Leidseplein. It's very big, has typical Belgian food on the menu, it has free newspapers to read on big reading teables and it's got 9 different beers on tap, 16 beers in normal botlles and 12 beers in big bottles. The place is in a prime location, the beers aren't from small breweries and the prices aren't as low as they should be so I assume they are targeting tourists. The price of half a pint is € 2,75
The breweries they've got beer from are: jupiler, stella artois, hoegaarden, leffe, la chouffe, de koninck, hertog jan, achelse kluis, bellevue, chimay, duvel, orval, palm, rodenbach, vedett, westmalle and liefmans.
All in all I like it and eventhough the price is of the beer is too high, the rest of the prices are quite normal (leg of rabbit with treacle and black plums for € 12,50 ain't a lot and is the most expensive thing on the menu).
On top of it all, the toilets must be the most beautiful and the cleanest in the whole of Europe.
